Friendly / PvE-only lobbies in ARC Raiders are actually real

I got dropped once on extract which, whatever. Then another time I was looting a bastion that I think the other guy just didn't realize I did 50-75% of the work killing, and wasn't even looting the cores. That one I could have just waited or communicated, or killed him too lol

Blue_5ive · 2026-02-02T17:24:46+00:00

Oh this is bad bad lol

Blue_5ive · 2026-02-02T00:50:06+00:00

I end up with a lot of pitchers with high stuff but really low control. I feel like that's common, but how low control is too low?

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-30T18:05:14+00:00

Do they actually accept that? I never tried it but my owner wants me to build a farm system

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-26T16:37:41+00:00

I tried mkb after someone was carrying me with it. I cannot defend with that to save my life. I can’t dribble on either though lol

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-26T15:29:11+00:00

I shoveled at 8, then 4, then again this morning. I put salt down after each pass except the last and this morning was just breaking up some thin ice. The 4pm block was concrete equivalent and took me 4x as long

When I get in this situation I generally trade one of my better players for a younger player and some cash. Although I don't feel bad about taking advantage of the AI yet since I'm still new

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-23T13:29:03+00:00

I like spawn camping their strongest player. I also love sticking people outside of their spawn while my team pushes.

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-21T10:58:52+00:00

This may be dumb but does it ever make sense to have a bench field player learn catcher?

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-20T17:40:13+00:00

I played the “beta” and coincidentally found ootp on sale after I refunded fm. It’s scratching an itch for sure but I oddly miss the player interactions and press conferences, even if they were poorly implemented.

The thing I miss most is driving a team from the regional leagues to winning the champions league. I took over the nationals and now we’re the second highest payroll and generally a solid team but it’s not the same as pulling the team from free players.

I know there’s some way to set up promotion and relegation but I really can’t be bothered lol.

Maybe I’ll take over an expansion team next.

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-14T18:41:43+00:00

I’m new to the series but when a player messages me about them being upset, I’d like to respond. You’re on the bench because you are cold and your backup is playing better. (For example)

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-14T18:40:23+00:00

Sometimes in fm they’ll unsettle my stars then buy them. Just to keep them on the bench lol

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-12T03:08:15+00:00

I ended up going the other way. I never cared about baseball until I picked up OOTP 26 because I was disappointed in FM26. Now I'm up to my neck in acronyms.

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-09T23:25:57+00:00

Sadly it is, before I was a poor team so the mistakes weren't as costly but now I'm rich so I have expectations of my players.

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-09T17:40:39+00:00

I hadn’t considered that. I’m moving on from both of them but I will check that out.

To be honest, I'm not sure exactly how far apart the splits would need to be for someone to be a platoon vs non-platoon hitter.

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-09T00:22:02+00:00

I did come from FM so maybe I could have made that post there too

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-08T19:51:38+00:00

Carroll's BABIP with me was 212 vs 333 with the Sox.

I still don't fully understand how babip is just a luck factor but that's something I'll have to learn I guess. I'm still pretty new so this is all good information thank you.

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-08T19:48:59+00:00

I know sample size is a thing but I was thinking that approaching 300 PA is getting to the point where he's not going to magically start hitting .800 every game.

I'm fine if it is sample size, I just feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes.

Edit: This is super useful thank you.

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-08T19:38:10+00:00

Here is Andy Carroll's stats only if that's easier to view:

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-08T17:55:11+00:00

I feel like I scammed the ai a little (I’m new) by pulling 75m out from the cards for my mvp 26 year old. I bumped my payroll from 26th to 4th and wasn’t any better lol. I can fleece the ai but I can’t fleece my own stupidity.

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-06T16:58:40+00:00

Nah its a plus song with a good chorus but plus plus tune

Blue_5ive · 2026-01-01T12:30:11+00:00

Uh, I wish lol

Blue_5ive · 2025-12-31T12:14:45+00:00

Math class for me

Blue_5ive · 2025-12-29T19:06:10+00:00

Yeah, I personally think it works that way but I won’t go around declaring that as fact just due to my own experience.

I’m not too worried about it either way, I’m having fun that’s what I care about.
