    Testing out various settings on 21 , I definitely am settling on AS+ hitting and HOF pitching .

      Yeah without a doubt these are the correct difficulties for me personally.

        I have been having great games with these lately. But the drop off from top pitchers to the 4 and 5 spots in rotation is huge. My top 3 pitchers hit their spots most of the time. Meanwhile the 4 and 5 are throwing blindfolded.

          Yep. Seems pretty accurate in my opinion! Sixto Sanchez is my 5, I know he has massive potential. He just has to work on control. So fun pitching with him.

            Which is really how the game should be. Pitching with less than stellar guys should be a real challenge.

              Agreed. Which is why I can’t play with the Pirates like I thought I could. [emoji38]

              Someone posted a great trade idea for the Phillies in that thread and I couldn’t pass it up since it is a great way to do a soft rebuild which is something they need to do for real. Still getting lit up while pitching sometimes with this staff without Nola. Variety is good.

              Doesn’t seem to matter what team I use when hitting, though. I can’t seem to figure out what the problem is. I’ve played on HOF for the past few years without any issues, but this year I may have to drop down to AS since AS+ is proving to be too difficult.

              I turned on the pitch/swing info last night to see if my timing was just off, but that made me really scratch my head.

              99mph from DeGrom. Swing and a miss. I’m thinking he blew that thing right by me only to see I was early. Two pitches later he throws another fast ball over the plate so I wait a microsecond on this one but I missed again, only this time it said I was way late and it was only 96mph.

              I’m kind of at a loss at this point and don’t know what to do. I guess I could up the timing, but it is already at default and I don’t want to make things too easy because that’s no fun either.

              I’ve been playing this game long enough to know something doesn’t feel right this year, but I can’t put my finger on what it is.

              I’m going to keep grinding because this is a great slider set and I am really hoping the issue lies with me and not the game.

                Don't be afraid of going down to Allstar. I know the last couple of years Allstar was too easy for me but this year it is not. Why be frustrated playing the game if you are struggling at HOF. I'm using dynamic difficulty and am down to Veteran Plus. Wouldn't ever thought I would be there. But you are right, something seems off with HOF hitting to me as well.

                  Yeah, I think I’m going to play a few games on All-Star and see how it goes. If it gets to be too easy I can always bump it back up to AS+.

                    I just saw what you said previously and yes I’d give all star a shot. I also have struggled of late but finally had 11 hits vs the Mets. Lost in extras though after my starter threw 7 shut out innings. Ripped my heart out.

                      That’s never a fun loss to take. I was cruising in a game last night and then the wheels fell off in the 5th inning. Wound up losing 2-9.

                      I thought it was going to be a dual and I’d win since I was already up by two runs. Wrong! 🤣

                        Haha! Exactly how I felt. To make it worse that loss extended my losing streak to 4

                          I already have some story lines brewing in this Marlins franchise. I didn’t think I’d enjoy doing the Miami Marlins this much, but they’re really fun. We’ve started out a measly 3-5. My hitting has been fine, about league average. I traded for nick senzel before the season started, and he has been pretty underwhelming so far. Obviously early though, but my problem is every time I play Isan Diaz he absolutely RAKES..so I’m trying to find playing time for him. Him playing usually comes at the cost of nick senzel starting the game on the bench, and obviously that’s not very ideal.

                          My other story line is, my bullpen is freakin awful. Yimi Garcia has already blown 2 saves for me. I made an under the radar trade for Rowan Wick before the season, he might be taking over my closer role if Garcia continues to struggle.

                          Lastly. JJ Bleday, top prospect... really want to call him up but unless there’s an injury (which very well may happen) I don’t see how he fits in my lineup this year. Garret cooper is hitting almost 500. Marte is a lock in center. Dickerson is also a lock in left field because he’s the best bat in my lineup from a ratings stand point.

                          Anyways, fun stuff. I’ll see how it plays out. I hope anybody that’s using these is enjoying them.

                            Broke my 4 game losing streak finally. Beat the Mets 6-1 to avoid being swept. That’s the good news.

                            Bad news is I start a 4 game series against Atlanta, that won’t be easy.

                            I’ll stream at some point today. Probably around 2pm EST or so

                              Twitch is the world's leading video platform and community for gamers.

                              Just something to throw out there, I don’t stream these for views, I don’t care about that.

                              This is just me streaming so if you’re thinking about using this set you can see some gameplay

                                Scores to my last ten games to show the variety

                                W 8-2, L 2-1, W 6-5, W 7-5, L 7-6, L 1-0, L 4-3, L 6-5, W 6-1, W 10-7

                                I may painfully send sixto Sanchez to triple A for a while. His control needs a lot of work.
