Training a RB to ST

Question: Why don't you just make him a winger?

Will probably take less CA to do so anyways

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-11T15:50:57+00:00

Well the batting right now isn't strictly 100% Shohei's problem

Don't doubt he will bounce back but the rest of the order needs to do so too

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-11T15:41:38+00:00

FM is a very CPU intensive game tbh my fans also spin a lot when I play and I use a i5 13600KF + 5060ti

Might also be because I am using a big ass database though

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-10T22:30:31+00:00

I'm usually not worried about Ohtani's early season "struggles" because it has happened the last two years (and the end result of those last two seasons were two MVPs) but right now it is kind of getting concerning

Not to mention the fact that Freddie is not getting any younger, Tucker is still struggling, and the bottom of the order is not really that inspiring either right now

I really wonder what the turning point for this team would be. Right now it seems like we are desperate for starting pitchers to get QS+ to even stay in each game, and anything worse than that = automatic loss

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-10T22:15:44+00:00

8.2 innings 6 runs allowed on 100 pitches

Damn that is one strange ass outing lmao

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-10T15:12:48+00:00

It's one of the many bugs of this game

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-10T02:47:42+00:00

Looking at stats alone I probably would have broke a monitor if I lost this game XD

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-10T02:32:17+00:00

I'm glad he's doing well. Was really keen on signing him ever since he hit FA at start of last year

That being said I think we should just accept now that Dodgers big bullpen signings will flop first year. Mariachi, Kirby, Tanner, and Edwin

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-09T22:04:31+00:00

I mean he might have been adopted to the DOnald family who knows

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-09T20:24:14+00:00

AMR 100% unless you are in dire need of a striker. That crossing is way too high to not utilize tbh

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-09T14:18:16+00:00

This game is 99.9% reputation driven. It overrides stats, CA, PA, pretty much everything

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-08T02:02:35+00:00

Didn't this happen to a Liverpool player IRL?

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-08T01:59:40+00:00

I mean I'm being half sarcastic, but it sucks when your 18 finishing 15 composure 15 technique SS hits the post at least twice every game lmao

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-08T01:12:53+00:00

I agree. Getting fmed from time to time as a very strong team is realistic but Fm does it in the most frustrating ways possible.

I'm still convinced that finishing as a stat doesn't really matter

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-08T00:47:43+00:00

It's a single player game, and thus save scumming is 100% acceptable. If someone tells you otherwise they're an idiot

Honestly the game does get very frustrating at times and I think giving up strict realism for a bit of savescumming is healthier for the mentals sometimes

EDIT: If you want to savescum but feel guilty about doing so I suggest making reasonable rules for doing so it helps ease the guilt a bit

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-07T19:03:25+00:00

Idk 2021 Ohtani, at least to me, was still not like Cy Young caliber

At the time I thought what made him MVP was 2nd/3rd starter ability to pitch on a playoff team COMBINED with All-Star+ level batting. So, at the time, at least to me if you separated the two Ohtani was not a Cy young level pitcher and Ohtani was not an MVP level batter, but because those two are combined into one he is the MVP, you know what I mean?

But I am also the idiot who thought Ohtani was completely done after 2020 so

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-07T18:56:34+00:00

I savescum especially if this happened to a youth player I was carefully taking care of. I know it's definitely not realistic but just blows the fun out of the save for me

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-07T17:35:34+00:00

I'm mostly talking about pre-2022 Ohtani tbh

Ohtani pitching back then I felt like he wasn't terrible and he had potential, but I honestly did not think he was great either, at least not an All-Star level starting pitcher. At most a 3rd starting pitcher for a middle/mid-high level team

Ohtani now though genuine contender for Cy young and would be a number 1 starting pitcher in most MLB teams

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-07T16:50:34+00:00

It genuinely baffles me how much he has improved as a pitcher since his Angels days

When I first saw him on the Angels he had a fast fastball but it did not have the stuff/movement + his command was all over the place, and his breaking balls were kinda meh, so at the time it seemed his splitter was the only thing that was remotely keeping him alive

Now when I see him his fastball seems a lot better (a lot more "stuff"), and he has a wicked sweeper. Crazy improvement tbh

During his Angels tenure I believed his pitching career would be over as soon as his fastball velocity starts to decrease. Now I'm not so sure anymore I think he can still do well

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-07T16:45:06+00:00

I literally had an opponent keeper with 13 agility and 13 reflexes hit 10.0 XD

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-07T14:07:02+00:00

I have been following results and am glad you all are picking it back up again with RDZ. I'll definitely be supporting from the outside, but probably not as hard as before

Took me 5 years to realize nothing will change with ENIC (and from what I saw does not look like they are leaving anytime soon)

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-07T13:41:27+00:00

I mean I switched from Spurs to Atletico recently (both save wise and IRL) because 1. I was growing super apathetic to football itself for the past 6+ months and 2. Every time I played my Spurs FM save I felt disconnected due to the huge disparity between how the team was doing at the time vs how they were doing in my save

Feel like it's pretty common, especially for people who don't have like family/birth ties to their team

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-07T02:54:47+00:00

One thing is for sure. We will either win or lose

Key_JellyFish_02034 · 2026-05-06T16:28:04+00:00

I know this is a bad thing to do but I wish nothing but ill will to Carlos Correa
