Be patient with injuries.....as you get to the all-star break you will see plenty around the league.

In April I had 3 in-game injuries already (I play every game/every pitch in my YR4 Yankees chise) Chapman, Judge and Tanaka all shelved for 2 weeks each. SO we are already dealing with injuries and it is only April.[/B]

Yep, definitely be patient with injuries, they will happen, especially in game. In a span of 4 weeks of games, I lost Segura and Kingery to injuries.

Segura was 2 weeks, comes back, then Kingery gets hurt. Almost made me want to call up Bohm but want to hold off til next year so he develops more in AAA.

Every game I play now as I get deeper in to the season has been better and better. Truly believe you just have to stick with playing and not trying to be so realistic. K's, HR's, hot streaks, cold streaks all come at different times.

Yeah, I was visibly shocked when I first noticed Gleyber's speed this year. He's not known for his wheels but I'd like to think he's faster than a 38 lol.

According to statcast his sprint speed is 26.5 ft/sec which is slightly below the major league average of 27.0. I have found the speed ratings for guys to line up pretty closely with this metric. Meaning most guys who run a 27.0 are rated right at 50 and then faster or slower runners are rated accordingly. Based on this I'd rate Torres around a 45 speed. Just my opinion.

Crazy thing is through 24 spring training games I have only seen 3 injuries in the entire league. I'm guessing that's due for a correction at some point.

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

Did they do something dramatic with the new update?
First games playing since and...
Just swept the Stros with the Angels in a 3 game set 37 - 11 (6-1, 19-4, 12-6) and they usually piss pound me.
I had 45 hits!
Maybe just a hot streak too, but damn, never had success like that I don't think in years or ever.

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

I made this on photoshop and will probably do them before each series. I've always been a bit of a stats/analytical nut when it comes to baseball so this is not tedious but rather fun for me. I may make some generic ones that I can fill in quickly, too as opposed to ones like this with player faces on them. The hot and cold zones are revered so they are from the perspective if you're pitching in broadcast mode. I did not write the descriptions of the quirks so you'll either need a list or have to remember what they are (or check them in-game). They're pretty easy to remember.

If anyone's interested in using these I can post other's I'll make.

I beside the hot and cold zones I'm going to use some pens to show where I struck batters out and with what pitches. I'll use a circle and list the pitch in there (4SFB, CB, SLD, etc.). I probably won't use colored circles for everything but rather just where I'm getting strikeouts.

Again, feel free to use if it's your cup of tea.

I didn't play any Spring training games, hopped right in to season.

I only had like a few minor day to day injuries in April, and it definitely ramped up in late May...especially when guys had low energy in games.

For other teams, it seemed almost like every big series I was going in to, the team was missing a major player or 2. Series against the Dodgers, no Beli or Seagor, against the Cubs, Bryant has been out.

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

Hey my show family love this thread in here all the time and in the streams. I have found something out idk many know but if you change hitting to pure Analog (timed hitting using the analog) the batter pci moves with the pitch I find it interesting because its not zone hitting and i have no control on where pci moves (guessing its the ratings the determine how good the pci is placed) I will be using pure analog analog type stride because i like the feel of having to starting my stride with the pitch to time up a baseball it feels so good and rewarding when i time up a pitch just right. I don't have many AB's doing so as i just found this out last night but with true sim rosters out i will be starting my 162 every pitch franchise. I will report on what i find. I just wanted to get some info out to the best show thread on OS. Thanks!

Baseball is Better!

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

Well unfortunately for me I didn't have to be patient with injuries, lost Bumgarner 3 innings in on opening day lol. Made me question the injury slider at 10 but trust Armor's slider set so will stick to it.

Re: Armor & Swords MLB The Show 20 Classic/Directional Clean Screen Simulation Slider

What a absolutely awesome ending to my Braves franchise game. After giving up 4 runs in the 8th I came up to bat in the ninth down two. I proceeded to hit back to back to back HR with Acuna Albies and Freeman so freaking exciting. So ofcourse I'm going to win right. Nope with two outs in the 9th the Cardinals tie the with a 2out double witch scored the tying run by inches all the way from first.

After having a chance to take the lead in the 10th and 11th. The Cardinals load the bases with no outs in the bottom of the 11th. I than get them to roll into a 4-2-3 double play. So I'm thinking I'm going to get out of this jam than Matt Wetiers hits a 3run walk off bomb for the cardinals to win it.

What a emotional roller coaster that game was. It was so freaking fun. Omg I love this game.

Watching an absolute monster of a matchup in the early season as the first place Dodgers have Clayton Kershaw (5-0, 2.79 ERA) takes on the first place Phillies with their ace Aaron Nola (3-1, 1.88 ERA) going as well.

I miss baseball!

This pitching matchup lived to the hype as the Dodgers won the game 2-0, scoring 2 runs in the top of the 9th!

Kershaw went 7.0 IP giving up 3 hits, 1 walk, no runs while striking out 8.

Nola was able to hold out a little longer, posting a line of 8.0, 2 hits, 2 walks, while also striking out 8.

This was entertaining, going to try to watch one cpu vs cpu from the calendar a night moving forward!

Any of you guys that are using Bacons fictional roster notice the game playing a little differently than with default rosters.. I can’t tell if it’s just me, luck of the draw, or do you guys get better hit variety and better pitching with the fictional rosters. I especially notice pitchers painting the corners more and far fewer meatballs

It’s pretty simple really.. bacons roster is full of better rated players, especially pitchers. The default rosters really aren’t all that great in terms of pitching.

Well, first game with my new analysis technique was a success. Given, it might have just been coincidence but nonetheless, I racked up some K's.
