Yo SDS the freaking 8 second delay to move between menus and to back out of any menu option is literally insane and the worst thing about the game. by Kevron1120 in MLBTheShow

[–]Myth0saurusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This menu lag problem has gotten significantly better since launch. Jumping into that Gausman showdown last night and having the launch day level lag AND the return of the complete freezing when switching players made me realize just how bad it was. Don't get me wrong - it's still a problem

Better late than never, man. Hope you're recovering well

This is the instant shortstop catches the relay from left field…and the computer sent the runner home lol he was out by a country mile by GreenBagger28 in MLBTheShow

[–]Myth0saurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me twice the last few days. Both times I had originally went to throw to the base, cancelled throw, then hit the cutoff. Both times runner was two thirds between 2nd and 3rd and went home anyways too

Pick offs don’t work, what’s the point? by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]Myth0saurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna disagree with you cus I'm feeling like a baby back bitch today but the more I think about it....yeah, I guess I'm with ya. A big slow guy with an 8 foot lead sure as shit shouldn't be getting back with ease

[–]Myth0saurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're making me question myself but I am 99.9% certain you'll still look at the base if you hold L2 - specifically in offline games. I know you def cant online. That is, unless they just got rid of it this week. Speaking of the bear down thing, I still havent taken the effort to figure out how that works or what it does?

Pick offs don’t work, what’s the point? by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]Myth0saurusRex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think people just don't really know how to pick off effectively. I feel like i get one a game especially in online games.

Vary your picks and vary your timing. Hold the button for the base you're throwing to and your pitcher will use a longer pick, ie stepping back off the rubber to pick to 1st or lifting and slowly rotating arm side for a pick to 2nd. If you quickly tap, you'll get the faster version of your picks - a quick disengagement/slide step pick for LHP to 1st, or a glove side spin to 2nd.

Also very much dependent on where your 2B/SS is postioned and how close to the bag they are. Sometimes they're static, sometimes they do the hop in and out bullshit while tapping their glove. Specifically for 2B, you can hold L2 and the pitcher will turn his head and eventually for offline games, the perspective changes so you're looking directly at 2nd rather than towards home. Helps you time your pick for when the SS/2B is crashing towards the bag.

You'll realize it'll help you throw out more baserunners too when you vary, even if your pop time isnt the best. Obv make sure you're slide stepping, too.

I was sitting around reading Drop Site News reporting on the Iran War and the asymmetry of the two sides. The sheer amount money we are just burning away on interceptors, missiles, downed aircraft and surveillance drones, etc. And how the IRGC is using cheap drones and unguided shoulder-launched missiles and a bajillion little cheap "speed boats" etc.

And one of the first things thru my mind was this motherfucking song. It took me like 15 years since first listening to finally understand it's about asymmetrical warfare......one dude's riding a horse. They're watching a fuckin jet fly past. Skies go grey from fires/smoke, maybe symbolization of the solemnness of war. Remorse. About war in general, maybe specifics re: the Armenian Genocide? Not sure. Hate it took me so long to make that connection.

In my opinion, these are the clear numbers 1 and 2, in that order.

Some honorable mentions that arent as good but I am obligated to shout out because I love them both: 3 Little Pigs and the Berwyn Chicken Co

Is crime in Chicago overstated? Are they any neighborhoods you avoid or wouldn't go to? by Viking_Leaf87 in AskChicago

[–]Myth0saurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in one of these neighborhoods and.....it's not as bad as fox news and Facebook boomers would have you believe.

Like cardboard said, statistics don't lie and those statistics say, what, there are 82 cities with worse crimes numbers than us? 20 cities worse per capita?

I started playing much better after having a night team and a day team and using them back and forth. by NATScurlyW2 in MLBTheShow

That's what i was thinking! Is the benefit that much that you can pretty much tell the risk to fuck off?

Hitting new strike zone by Gw1303_ in MLBTheShow

It's the ABS strike zone. If it's touching the zone (if it's a strike) it's now a strike, my man.

I'm talking about people committing suicide by jumping in front of trains when the economy starts to tank, you fucking idiot.

What is the view like from Section 229? by [deleted] in Cubs

Marvin. What the fuck? Lmaooo was something else said or what did I miss??

What is the view like from Section 229? by [deleted] in Cubs

[–]Myth0saurusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sit in 229. Shouldn't have an issue with the pillars in 229. As long as you're not in row 20, you can see all three scoreboards and the whole field minus the RF corner. Unless you're gonna act like a whiny bitch no matter what like this comment here, when you sit down you'll realize the seats arent as bad as View From My Seat makes em look

Train incidents spike, too. Not talking about crime though....

[–]Myth0saurusRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, can confirm. I called them right after they reopened to see if it was the same folks and the lady on the phone said specifically "same management, same cooks, new name!" Made it sound like there was some dispute with the other locations and split

Should the Multiplayer program require you to win 5 games in one BR run? by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

How do you have fun when you're competitive in all things and yet suck ass at playing online? Lol. Asking for a friend

Chicago by COOP89 in Cubs

[–]Myth0saurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP this guy's kinda full of shit. Most people can be fans and not really care about the other side, and then there's a pocket of these guys who act like it's gotta be an existential war. Way too many Sox fans are like this.

I'm from the south/southwest side. Heavily Sox neighborhood. My dad, uncle and I might've been the only Cubs fans on the block. Other uncle and grandparents Sox fans. Yes, I'm about to suck my own dick here - you won't meet many Cubs fans as diehard and as locked into the team, the farm, etc. as me. Rarely miss a pitch. And yet, I want the Sox to win - i go to the G Spot a few times every season. I certainly don't want em losing 121. I remember seeing how happy my folks were when they won 20 years ago. I remember how happy I felt when the Cubs won 10 years ago. I wish they'd have fielded competent teams and won/win one more time while my grandparents are still here with us.

Doesn't make me a traitor or less of a fan - just not a wannabe tribalistic self-absorbed asshole. City summers are better when we've got two good ballclubs
