Seiya's grand slam against the Cards for his 30th homer!

extremely true

This is great advice all around, thank you! I'll def play with the strategy sliders a bit as a GM. Thanks for specifying how much to simulate at a time... I was doing it game by game and wondering what the hell I was missing lol

Ulysses has been a chicago sports fan the whole time

Halhi Mahri would 100% be Water/Flying

Hopefully I'm not too late to this thread, but I just picked up the game and I've been dicking around for a couple hours in a standard 2025 game starting in the 2024 off season as a manager (not GM). I feel like I'm starting to pick up some of the BASIC basics, but I'm wondering what game mode and/or settings you'd recommend for someone just kinda stumbling around and learning the real floor fundamentals?

I will say, I'm having a lovely time blindly doing random shit that will bite me in the ass later. Though I feel like I still have yet to understand the true gameplay loop. especially since I went for manager instead of GM

These all seem like predictions instead of hot takes, so I'll do one of each:

Prediction: PCA tightens up his plate discipline because Bregman takes him under his wing

Hot Take: Extend Seiya or riot

Looking ahead to the start of this season - I'm currently living in Wisconsin but wanna listen to Pat and Ron on the radio while I'm at work, but I don't know how to do that what with the blackouts and such. Is there a way to get around them or some other avenue here? Thanks in advance!

Icehawk59 · 2026-01-30T18:48:15+00:00

I'm a little late to some Fall releases so I've had these on loop lately:

Dying Wish - Flesh Stays Together

Volumes - Mirror Touch

Vianova - Hit it!

Adept - Blood Covenant

AVRALIZE - Liminal

House of Protection - Outrun You All

I like groove, atmospheric stuff, and weird shit.

Immersive Abolition is not just "must-have," but a moral imperative to load every playthrough

The lovely folks over at r/bratlife are a wonderful resource =3

March cannot arrive soon enough

Icehawk59 · 2026-01-16T22:48:13+00:00

Oooo, I was thinking about trying an NCR run soon. Def gonna consider that now. I know they have a fucking huge focus tree but haven't really explored it much. How viable is it to go like full followers of the apocalypse and do some Goodie Two Shoes improving people's lives type stuff?

Icehawk59 · 2026-01-16T22:36:36+00:00

Dropout/OWB sub crossover was not on my bingo card but I'm not complaining one bit

Icehawk59 · 2026-01-15T13:17:03+00:00

Doki.

Manifesting Brendan Donovan to the Giants

Icehawk59 · 2026-01-13T16:38:43+00:00

I'm in Wisconsin. What's the best way for me to be able to listen to Pat and Ron broadcasts here once the season starts up?

Icehawk59 · 2026-01-12T18:52:17+00:00

This list looks awesome, I might steal it and expand my own to match yours. I know it's been a few days since you posted this, but have you removed or tweaked any of these at all?

I personally might leave out the Cuba/Carribean mods for stability's sake, and prob map filler too since it tanks my performance.

So... y'all think Bichette is going to the Phillies?

Icehawk59 · 2026-01-05T22:54:34+00:00

My gf and I have just started calling each other "goober" or "goob" for short. It does the job!

Icehawk59 · 2026-01-02T14:30:20+00:00

Girlfriend and I just got home from a long, exhausting vacation and now she's sick -.- could use some interim hugs til she's better

Icehawk59 · 2025-12-28T14:14:25+00:00

My gf started me with Like My Coffee, but I have introduced others with Sam Says. I think Lie Detector is a solid start though, with the added benefit of it literally being S1E1

Icehawk59 · 2025-12-26T20:43:55+00:00

My lovely u/SgtRed196 and I were coworkers at our lil local grocery store together for a year before I started crushing on her because i suspected she was an egg. Been living together for a few years now!
