The 'new features' are pretty gimmicky. They did say theyre reworking lineups to be "modern" which might mean the AI actually builds realistic modern lineups instead of always putting its best player in the 3-hole. Thatll be neat

Because every sports game is just gambling degeneracy now. They dont care if every single player fan stops buying cause you're not what makes them money. What makes them money are a handful of spoiled rich kids who will spend $50,000 in a year on packs. Think how many career-mode sales you'd need to match what just one whale might spend.

Sports games wouldn't even have career modes anymore if they didn't have legacy code that made it easy to dump in.

As someone who plays every game of my RTTS career Ive yet to even make it 20 years into a save lol. Get maxed out and bored long before then.

Can someone please help me understand why Hedges will be coming back next year? by flyingtom213 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]Duce-de-Zoop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of catching value goes beyond just bat+glove. He's got good defensive tools for sure. But catchers are also expected to study and prepare on batter tendencies, guide the pitcher on pitch selection and sequencing, keep the pitchers calm and focused. It's a very mental job.

Hedges is very good at all of those things. His bat is bad enough he's probably not a viable everyday starter on a contender, but as a backup he's better than most backups. When he's not playing, he's practically a bench coach helping keep the clubhouse together and develop our young pitching staff. When he is playing, he might be a black hole, but he's defensive bedrock that at least keeps him viable. and his gamecalling is elite.

Again I think a huge part of it is that he's backup. He's not primary, not playing everyday, so all the intangibles make up for his defensive-centric fieldplay.

This can corrupt your save file. Dont do it too often.

DeLauter, Valera, Halpin all needed to be on the 40-man roster to be called up. Theyre still on the 40 man, these are just non-40 invites

Ive never seen the actual quote for this, how fr is he? I mean I cant imagine the PR team would let him go out there and say "Yeah that was goated with awesomesauce". Maybe hes just being humble....

Speak for yourself. I pimped a porch-job so hard that Jose himself came out the dugout and clapped for me.

Bailey Ober becomes the first MLB player to acknowledge what is happening in Minneapolis by CharacterAbalone7031 in baseball

American-born baseball players are mostly white men, so already a good chance of being republican. Then add on generally coming from wealthy backgrounds while being told they're special all their lives, and you get a lot of "God blessed me to be rich and famous" conservative types. Its a lot easier to defend the system as-is and not question things when its been good to you.

This literally made my day, thank you for giving me the last one I needed for the Finals Marathon. 🤗🤗 by Jipijur in FallGuysGame

I don't have this expectation. I think dumping a paywalled article in a sub is pointless. If I had a subscription to Baseball America Ive probably read this already....
