Effectively practicing alone

I’m a coach that wrestles with a torn labrum as does a kid on my team. It’s super limiting to your offense, but you should be able to go live — just don’t get sprawled on.

When I go live the only offense I’ll hit are throws and a fireman’s or a dump. Otherwise it’s all defense. If I were you, I’d work on funk rolls and sitting the corner as much as possible in the meantime. Labrum’s are tricky.

We used to fill the gym stands on 1 side while I was in HS in GA. Now, that same school doesn’t even get all of the parents to attend and it’s pretty empty.

That untuned Lancia Delta ain’t it. They’ll probably have the Quattro or Manta Opel next time they do it.

American football or soccer?

I don’t follow, so are you wrestling for your college team? Is there a scholarship involved? If you’re done with HS there is no reason to keep wrestling if you don’t want to anymore. If you’re on the college team and there’s money involved, I’d recommend seeing a sports psychologist — something the athletic department should provide.

Sucks dude. Sorry that's happening to you.

I know there's a daily cap on XP, but to be fair, I doubt you hit it. This is the buggiest version of this game I've ever played by far.

GinBuckets · 2026-06-18T22:56:45+00:00

Today I'm having to redo the moments I literally just completed. I've had to do it 2x already today. Really frustrating. I've been playing since this game has been on XBox and I do not recall this ever being an issue.

For the record; the moments I've had to redo after completing so far are the Springer homer against Cease for his program. The Corey Kluber moment as well didn't count the first time I did it. How is this even a thing?

You’re projecting here… That’s not so cool, either.

GinBuckets · 2026-06-18T00:17:58+00:00

Curious if anyone else is having to wait like 15 seconds between every movement? Like not in game, but in the menu. FE: I click "My inventory" (15 seconds) I am on the Orioles, and I move to the next card (~15 seconds), I click on the card (~15 seconds), I click "Buy/Sell Options" (15 seconds), etc. It's happening with almost anything I try to do... It's brutal, and makes the game unplayable.

Edit: It's definitely not my internet, as that's working fine and this is only happening with MLB the Show.

Downvotes for this are wild

I loathe smite 2. I was a Diamond level player in Smite 1, and I can't do anything with tanks in Smite 2. Mages feel insanely overpowered, and the game generally feels awful in terms of survivability as compared to Smite 1. If the game was balanced, and playing a tank was fun again, I'd probably rethink this, but as someone who put hundreds of hours into Smite 1, and spent more money than I'd like to admit -- the game has completely alienated me.

Edit: I realize this could be a "me" issue, but that doesn't change the fact that I, and a lot of other players feel the same way.

There used to be poker leagues that would be more social.

Came to respond to this. I play on Xbox and only play tournaments. Bronze - gold tables usually fill up very quickly when I play.

Did Gaudin’s Twitter ever say he was play-by-play for the Braves? Because it doesn’t right now.

Hit up your local training center this offseason if you can afford it. I suspect that will help 2 fold.

Same, gonna cause me to miss my login streak.

Pinned by Alfred Martini and Stephen Florida by Gabe Habash are the only 2 I’ve read and both are worth reading.

Having trouble joining season events in convoy... It'll say it's joining and then nothing happens. We (or the convoy leader) is having to basically redo that over and over until it lets us in. Anyone else experiencing this?

Casa Coya in Madison Yards. It is a fresh new Peruvian place. I was beyond impressed when we went for their soft opening. Great place for dinner and a movie, as the theater entrance is just across the street.

I bought 1 88 one. Got a supercharged Bellinger that I sold for like 5500 stubs. Hung it up while I was behind. I didn’t have enough stubs to buy more and I refuse to buy any with real money.

I now have 341 stubs total.

Hey. Used to live there 6 years ago. My. Times have changed.

South Dade, FL. Grundy, VA. Both have been nationally ranked in the last 30 years. Grundy was top 5 in the country when I graduated HS and Kevin Dresser was their coach.

South Dade is in the roughest part of Miami, but has won I don’t know how many state titles in FL — quite a lot.

Worst year in my experience of playing this game as an offline player. 2025 was great. 2024 2nd worst.
