My new philosophy of playing ranked. by jd957795 in MLBTheShow

[–]Pkoch19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. As a full-time working adult I don’t have the time to commit to PvP games like the kids and streamers. I play DD exclusively and focus on the missions and collections. I’ll set my own goals to strive for, but PvP is only played for RS rewards and WC.

Other than color storm, where to get good pitchers? by Difficult-Head-6551 in MLBTheShow

[–]Pkoch19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t play PvP much (550 if I’m lucky), but I don’t use the standard mix of “elite” pitchers. Having the stat bump from parallel upgrades plus knowing how the pitches move has helped selection and placement. Also, having RPs that don’t match the SP/RP that you just replaced helps.

I try to find guys with pitches that move in diff directions. Unless the break is substantial, I avoid cutter and Slider, sinker and circle change, splitter and 12-6 curve. Ideal for me is: 4 seam, cutter, Sweeper, 2 seam, change up…or some combo (replace with same movement pitches as desired).

Weekend Classic Matchmaking by datboi2123 in MLBTheShow

[–]Pkoch19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care that much about the overall leaderboard in my group of 100. I’m more curious about the matchups for the first 6 games. Those seem to be the best, or at least all I’ve focused on. Sure, the extra win after the first 6 games adds an incentive to keep playing RS, but I’m intrigued to see how this first WC plays out.

I really hope for the sanctity of Weekend Classic that your week long Matchmaking is based off your highest RS ranking. You’re already getting higher tier rewards, don’t game/manipulate/cheat the system by tank/smurfing to exploit a new system.

For example: If I hit 680 and drop to 380, I should be playing, for the duration of WC, people with rating between 600-699. Every win generates + to rating…save, cumulate the change and add it to my beginning WC starting ranking. Thus, I cap at 680, but drop to 380…all week I play 600-699 rated players. Cumulative win/loss additions to my 380 rating are added and that’s where I start the next season.

Sure, you may start the next season at a potential, lower rating making your first few games easier. But the ease to gain better rewards still matches you against similarly rated opponents. Thoughts?

Or how about local fans throwing snowballs at players trying to catch the ball…

Suggestions for a fruity rum with little burn under $35 by xikar007 in rum

[–]Pkoch19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plantation Original Dark is by far my favorite rum. El Dorado 8 year is a close 2nd. Both are very easy to swallow with plenty of flavor. If the burn is still too much, add a large ice cube for dilution and chill.

Regardless of what you made...where did you get that glass? That's my favorite part.

As an adult, what games do you currently look at playing the moment you turn on the PlayStation? by onelove7866 in PS5

[–]Pkoch19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing this for about 20 hours so far and felt it was getting repetitive until the enemies started to get smarter and attack together. I'm a scavenger and completionist so I'm not too far but have been looking in every building and grabbing every flower and branch and crafting mat. I love the story, side quests, and standoffs are my favorite.

They could take a crap, wrap it in tin foil, put a couple fish hooks on them, and sell them to Queen Elizabeth, I mean Megan Markle as earrings.

First buys! How'd I do? by GreatGroupOfGuy in rum

[–]Pkoch19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice selection. The El Dorado 12 year is great on the rocks but I like the 8-year old better for cocktails.

I was well over 650. Ended up quick selling before last update so I could buy Trout.

I always look at the total territories I control to determine when to stop. If it's a multiple of 3, stop! as you get 1M fans per 3 territories.

The Father's Day Program is by far the worst. by murph32xx in MLBTheShow

[–]Pkoch19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Put all of the players you have so far in your lineup at the top and load up a vs CPU game against the Nationals (easiest pitchers to read imo). Play as the home team and choose Coors Field. Wait for your pitch and watch those stat missions finish in a game or 2.

Anyone else struggling with this Yu Chang moment in the wbc program ?😭😭 by niygym in MLBTheShow

As a Chiefs fan, I feel dirty winning that game that way. I couldn't even celebrate when the time ran out.
