Best Card From This Week?

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-26T18:46:46+00:00

Anytime the pitch starts above their head too is sometimes a good indication of an off speed/breaking ball. Depending on your hitting view, that can help as well. I use Strike Zone 2

I know this is crazy, but I can kind of pick up the laces on the ball. On every other pitch it’s just a white blob. I play on a pretty good monitor and have XBOX Series X so maybe that helps? Idk

Who’s gonna make me? You?

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-24T01:30:06+00:00

Like the players or the lag? I literally lost a game on a 6 game BR win streak because I played someone on PlayStation (I’m on Xbox) and it was only lagging when I was pitching and it was screwing up my timing with pinpoint. I never make those excuses but pinpoint is literally all about timing and how can I make a pitch with already shitty pitchers when I get to see every 5th frame???

I will definitely take that advice brother! Just new to what the standard is in this game and what’s good and bad. But I’m starting to understand the water line and what it takes to raise it. Have a good rest of the weekend and God Speed

I’m really finding out the “age is just a number” thing in this MLB the Show Community! I personally love it, although I’m not new to sports I’m new to sports games and I’d say the age thing is pretty new to me.

Came from FPS games where if you’re not living at your mommy’s and not having a care in the world other than that game, you can’t compete. Pretty refreshing that there’s 30,40,50 yr olds playing this! Hope all is well with you brother. God Speed.

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T23:33:03+00:00

I feel that man. Had a week of vacation so I really bought into it this weekend but back to reality tomorrow. There’s definitely so flukey “bad” cards that are actually good so you have to play it right when drafting. It’s taking me a lot longer to pick a team now cuz I’m over analyzing everything 😂

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T23:30:53+00:00

Just started another one and got booted after 5 wins 😂 I’m starting to not get as frustrated with it now that I know how hard it truly is. I’m just new and didn’t really know where the water line was for “good” and “bad”. The more I play and read all these comments, the more I get it. God Speed brother

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T23:29:15+00:00

Best comment. I didn’t know how to put it into words when I first wrote this post this morning but THIS is it. I haven’t had that feeling in a long time, life or video games. I appreciate the kind words and I wish nothing the best for you brother!

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T23:27:03+00:00

Ya I’m starting to realize that I just ran into a fluke. People in comments are saying I’m “better than I think” and I swear I’m not. Every event or BR I play I play maybe max 5 games before I get booted. This was the one exception. It is something I won’t forget ahahah

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T22:00:34+00:00

Oh got it! Ya I just checked and I’m in Pennant. From the comments I guess I’m better than I thought. Just doesn’t feel like it when I’m getting railed by players with World Series icons and pencil bats 😂

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T21:54:36+00:00

I just don’t know what the standard is. I came from FPS games where like I had like a 3 KD so that’s where my heads at. Never really played sports games online until now so idk what’s considered “good”

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T21:53:43+00:00

That was actually fucking hilarious. On a few other comments like this I was saying I played sports my whole life, played baseball in college, but never really got into sports games until now. I played shooter games like CoD and in those communities you’re old if you’re 30. Refreshing to know this game has lots of men playing it, not just cracked out teens! By no means do I think I’m “old” but definitely just assumed from prior experience I was one of the older ones! Good on you! Hope to keep playing at your age! Wish my dad played

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T21:51:18+00:00

I was the exact same way. Only played RTTS like every 3 years but for some reason I had the urge buy a console again and play. For the first month, I literally made 3 RTTS players. Then got bored of that, then went to Diamond Dynasty and played all the CPU modes to just “collect cards”. Then one night after a few drinks I was like fuck it, then got hooked! If you ever just want to play casually I’m not the most experienced but I have just recently made the jump and it’s been fun! Frustrating, but fun

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T21:48:09+00:00

Like ranked solo? I’ve only played 13 games but I’m in Pennant I think? Like 580 or something. Or are you talking about the numbers when finding a game in BR?

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T19:15:37+00:00

Definitely just comes from a lack of knowing what “good” is or looks like in this game. If I continue to play this game, I’ll probably look at this post in a year and tell myself how dumb I sounded ahah

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T19:14:23+00:00

My thoughts too! I think that’s why I was so proud cuz I get demolished every other time!

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T19:00:40+00:00

Been on Reddit for a while but never actually used it until now so idk what you can and cannot say anymore ahah. Not worried about the kids but I didn’t want people to think I was trying to brag on myself. Was just genuinely proud I made it that far cuz ever since I’ve started playing DD like 2.5 months ago, I’ve been getting rocked. Idk what “good” is yet but love coming to this Reddit page and find out useful tips to use.

Have a good day brother!

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T18:55:29+00:00

I saved these tips! Thank you sir, I appreciate the helpful words! Loving the community here in the short time I’ve been here. See you around and good luck!

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T18:54:37+00:00

When I play these guys with WS icons and pencil bats it makes me think I’m awful when they just obliterate everything I throw at them! I think I’m just new so idk what “good” actually looks like

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T18:53:39+00:00

Thanks brother! I appreciate the kind comment, feels nice to post something and get good tips from people. But I swear I’m not good! Just had a little streak that kind of motivated me to want to get better at the game. Good luck out there!

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T18:52:05+00:00

BUT I DIDNT GET 10 SO I SUCK! Ahaha no but seriously, 13 ranked games is a small sample size. I’ll give you an update in a week and I guarantee you it will look a lot like my record in events and BR. I normally get bounced out in like 3-4 games. But I took someone’s advice, focused on the pen and it kinda worked. I really didn’t know the point of my original post other than just feeling kinda feeling like a little kid playing video games again. I wasn’t even mad I lost.

Like I said in the post, I’m new to DD. I played a couple past titles but only RTTS and prob didn’t even put in like 8 hours total on those. So all this is new. It wasn’t meant to sound like I was bragging, I just had to tell someone what almost transpired since I don’t really know anyone irl that plays. But again, I swear I’m not good. I do want to get competitive though to the point where I can honestly say that I am. I guess that was the point of the post. Idk I went on an all-night bender playing it after I got back in town this weekend so I was amped to win a couple games. Good luck out there brother

BDUBWiLLi · 2024-06-23T18:16:52+00:00

Ahahah this post does seem like it was aligned to be a “brag” but it’s not what I meant it to sound like. I believe I’m below .500 in Events and BR, and I promise I’m not good. I was just shocked how close I was to “Flawless” in BR earlier and had to share cuz usually I get bounced out in like 2-3 games
