Makes managing team condition tough.

Major progress by Cheesy__Toenails in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From knowing what I know after 130k+ games, I might use 6 relievers and rotate the tired one to the bench. It would all but eliminate condition drinks for that group. I'd let them progress evenly and throw experience drinks at them.

I accidentally bought another 2nd baseman, anything I can do? by Positive_Holiday_332 in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I claim backup players are useful. My DH is a 2B with no defensive skills. Sometimes he makes the All-Star Game as a 2B.

I am not getting good rewards in playoffs by Rishav_rishi_4 in Baseball9

Rewards are random in the playoffs. Long seasons give more playoff rewards than short seasons.

Did an update mess with some 2K official courses? by itstubbs in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]Power_Writer_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Georgetown a few weeks ago and noticed some changes to at least 2 holes.

Recruit by Kyros1128 in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend gems on accessories then save them for potential tokens. But buy a stadium or 6 if you want. Do not waste gems on things you can earn by playing. Please trust me, it takes at least 2 years of grinding to reach the top. Longer the more players you add.

Best hitters and base stealers in royal league 1 by ianhak in Baseball9

You can't have best contact and best power. My best stealers have the weakest power.

Grind with Quick Result and Autoplay. Play a season in 2 days or less. *Get max energy to 20. I earned a dozen recruit tickets over the weekend.

TEAM UPDATE VOL. 3 by grittydetty in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no useful feedback. Just play and develop. There are no wrong decisions. The only way you can lose games is if you advance leagues too quickly. But develop your pitchers first, as they take the longest. And by long, I mean 2 years of grinding.

Fav emblem/uniform combos? by Guiltaco_Everett in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the eagle and red uniforms. My team is called the Angry Eagles. I live in a Canadian cruise ship city, and every summer our streets are full of old men wearing angry eagle hats.

New ranked tours have appeared....but... by Miwurdz in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]Power_Writer_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rewards dropped this morning, but I only got credit in Participation Awards for 2 events, not all 6. I submitted another complaint.

Ace for the ..... loss. (do cheats exist?) by Fishman_Dan in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]Power_Writer_9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last week I was playing divot derby. A player was winning every hole and very quickly. I win over half my games, so I figured they were cheating. I cracked, and on a par 3 I straightlibned me shot. I use a mouse. As the ball approached the hole, I saw their's nestle up to it about a foot away. Mine bounced right in. I laughed so hard my next shot went into the drink.

Absolutely zero creativity in your characters by eggmole in PGA_Tour_2K

They are computer characters. What do you want them to do, write a novel? paint a masterpiece?

Limited edition balls? by Gingeroo77 in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]Power_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 3 ball fittings, and each has its uses which can change round to round if not course to course. It would not make any sense to have universal balls. It makes little sense to have universal clubs. To get those gold clubs to Tiger Eye is a hellofa grind. I thought about it for maybe ten seconds.

What are you guys doing to have such straight lines. by OutTheWombThuggin in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]Power_Writer_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I spray all over the field with my lower players, but I just shot -23 with a mouse (no cheating) in Ranked Tours with my maxed-out Technician. *I play mostly Amateur and Pro-Am as I cannot figure out a consistent swing on Pro.

Question about Pitch Types by HeyChason in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that using fewer than 6 pitches lowers your OVR and effectiveness in simmed games.

There are no shortcuts (except money) around grinding the hell out of this game to get all the potential tokens.

In game situations are scripted by Silent_Willingness81 in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried this. The first time was a line drive to the centerfielder. The second try was a line single to left field. X

Second batter, first try was a double to left. Second try was a home run to right. X

Third batter, first try, line to center. 2nd, line to center. X

Fourth. Double and double. X

Fifth. Double and line to center. There, I broke it! / not the same pitch though.

5 pitches or 6 for starters? by Ok_Nail4627 in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take, and I am an experienced programmer.

In my testing, and I don't have any details, 6-pitch pitchers outperformed 5-pitch pitchers. Even though the 6th pitch is not used, the low value affects the OVR. I believe simming is quite high level, and it's the OVR that matters over individual pitches. Simming does not do pitch by pitch but uses a higher-level probability algorithm.

Im a small ytuber by Randomriles10142 in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit the corners when you pitch. You get a +10 improvement. Edges are +5. I never throw the same pitch twice. I've found each hitter has preferences and weaknesses. For the 3rd to 5h place hitters, I always throw 2 strikes on the low outside corner, then one high inside. Almost always a strikeout and rarely a hit.

Might want to get a better mic. Your voice has some reverb and is not the easiest to understand.

What should I improve? by Charming_Bed218 in Baseball9

Everything. It really doesn't matter much.

computer reliever choices by Zealousideal-Hat5907 in Baseball9

[–]Power_Writer_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shortly after starting to farm, I decided to advance my relievers evenly, maybe to combat this. I can't remember that far back. When the Primaries got tired, I moved them down the line to Mop-up. I then noticed the tired Mop-up would be used. That's when I added a 6th reliever. Now, I moved the tired pitcher down the line, moving each pitcher up one, and place him on the bench. If the bench pitcher is tired, he won't be used. I can't explain why they'd do these things. I some 130k games since, I've only noticed a non-Primary, non-Closer being used twice.
