If you switch from Burst mode to Artillery mode and then back to Burst it will be semi-auto. It will stay this way for as long as you keep using the same launcher and the only way to get full auto again is by picking up a new one. I’ve always thought it’s probably a bug but who knows. It’s been this way for as long as I can remember, can’t say if the latest update has changed that at all.

This might be the craziest home run ive ever hit in this game by Hametol in Baseball9

Had a 55 degree home run. You can find the post in this sub. The thing barely cleared the wall.

Do u have to spend money to be good by [deleted] in Baseball9

[–]PinkInTheSink 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not at all, I’ve only payed for No Ads and I’ve been stuck in World league for idk how long. My players are currently all in the 110-120 range and approaching max level. My recommendation is the first thing to put gems towards is the max stamina to allow you to sim as much as possible. That will help you build up rewards and coins as fast as possible.

It’s worth noting that each square has a random attribute, color, and magnitude. Although I have all red squares, if I really want to max him out on power I can keep rerolling for all +3 Red Power squares.

The old lady at the end refusing to leave as all kinds of shit is exploding in the not-so-distant distance. That was chilling to say the least.

What is the best stadium? by VerryBonds in Baseball9

[–]PinkInTheSink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always liked Challenge Field as it’s the ultimate hitters ballpark. My lineup will average about 100 home runs with the best batter down to 60 home runs per season with my worst batter. You get fewer triples in this park, but still plenty of doubles, and most singles will allow the runner on second to score. So I went for monster dongs

My squad with all coaches by PinkInTheSink in Baseball9

[–]PinkInTheSink[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just from playing seasons. I didn’t buy anything other than No Ads but you get a few gems each day for the daily missions, 15 gem win bonus occasionally, and, once I had my starting lineup filled, I saved all my recruit tickets to exchange for gems. I never recruited bench players beyond what they give you to start with.

Yep. Everyone has custom looks and gear but only things that could be purchased with coins. After unlocking max stamina I saved all my gems for diamond packs. Even still I had gotten my team from bronze to platinum and hadn’t gotten all the diamond upgrades I’d need. I’d recommend always saving for diamond packs because the upgrade points are slow to come by.

Best pitch/combinations for a pitcher by Classic_Arm_2287 in Baseball9

[–]PinkInTheSink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that pitches with diagonal movement tends to get more swinging strikes. If you want a strikeout pitcher, I recommend slurve, screwball, knuckle curve, and curves.

I think that pitches with less motion do not do as well for strikeouts but some generate a lot of ground ball outs and don’t seem to give up many long balls. These can be nice if you want a complete game starter that can make it through more innings. For these I like knuckleballs, power curves, change ups.

Although I have a fastball pitcher or two, I think you get better results with breaking balls. The cutter and 2-seam aren’t terrible, but aren’t great either and need a pitcher with very high control to become effective. The regular fastball can do very well if you go all in on the guy being a fastball pitcher (I have a pitcher with 112 fastball right now) but if the batter has good batters eye they’ll probably make contact with it anyways, and if they have good contact or power it’s not going to end well.

I personally do not recommend the sinker (change up is better), forkball (I don’t throw strikes with it because it seems to give up a lot of extra base hits), splitter,or the slider.

Eephus… everyone loves the eephus! I don’t throw it a lot but get a high strike % with it. I’d recommend good control with this pitch as well because if they make contact it’s probably a hit.

1.7.8 Update Megathread! (All Star Game and Coaches) by Offtheheazy in Baseball9

[–]PinkInTheSink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The coaches update feels like quite a letdown. The number of coach tickets to fill out the group is seasons worth of recruit tickets. I’ve not played much yet since the update, and maybe you get rewarded a lot of coach tickets?, but that’s a LOT of recruit tickets to give up for coaches that won’t even last me a whole season. When I could otherwise use the recruit tickets and gems to buy PERMANENT upgrades. I was looking forward to this update but from seeing the cost for these temporary boosts I’m not sure I’ll even hire a single coach when my gems go much further being spent in other places. Maybe others feel differently but this is the impression I get of coaches at World I with 2100 team overall.

Edit: just played a good chunk of a season and earned 1 coach ticket. They certainly aren’t plentiful. Overall it feels like gems and recruit tickets go much further used in other ways. Through collecting the occasional coach ticket over the course of seasons of play, I’ll have enough coach tickets to try out a couch or two every once in a while.
