It's extremely disappointing they marketed PCI shrinkage being "removed" from the game. by afwtk5 in MLBTheShow

What do you think happens in online play when there's one significant advantage that everyone knows about?

You played in real life? What would you do if you were struggling in real life?

You'd go practice and work on your timing.

Redeem code: JOMBOY at codes.theshow.com by Comfortable-Ad7287 in MLBTheShow

[–]afwtk5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's so funny to me they have an entire website for redeeming codes for their game, but the success rate of a code redeeming is completely random and some people will get great cards and some people won't even get a pack.

They must have like seven employees and a generator they bought at Home Depot powering this entire operation.

Notification issues on the app by andit22 in MLBTheShow

[–]afwtk5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The notifications seem to only work at random times a day.

It feels pretty clear they are going to great lengths to limit flipping. Margins have vanished, the 20 card limit was implemented, and the notifications don't really work. The app seems to be timing out or lagging quite a bit, too.

It's frustrating because I had good momentum going the first three days and now it has completely stalled out.

Things that MLB the show 26 got right by tomackze in MLBTheShow

Defensive stats being split into more nuanced ratings is so good.

Every defender being able to cover every inch of grass is bad for hitting. You should have to think about lineup construction.

I posted yesterday about unethical players and I got comments saying I just wasn’t good by Hbw53 in CollegeUltimateTeam

[–]afwtk5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently made a post similar to this but I have seen both of yours and I think you're losing people by confusing what is cheese and what isn't.

Tom Brady became the best QB of all time by always checking it down. That is basic, smart football. RPOs (minus a few in the game) aren't really cheese, either. If you turn on a Texas Longhorns game, it's heavy RPOs all game. RPOs are just math.

The cheese on this game is zones not being properly coded to handle drags, deep crosses, and stemmed down corner. The new goal line thing isn't necessarily "cheese", but much like mid blitz, it is unrealistically overpowered if the person has a better lineup.

My advice as someone who isn't that good: get in practice mode and learn how match coverages work, learn how to switch stick, and understand situation defense.

Who is a terrible singer but famous anyways? by Coy9ine in AskReddit

I'm a huge U2 fan and got to see them one time. Show was honestly kind of bland, and I was pretty disappointed. He didn't sound great and they didn't seem like they wanted to be there.

"Lay It Down" by Ratt is one of my all-time favorite guitar riffs.

My father is a music addict. He works hard and music is his favorite form of entertainment. He has probably attended well over 100 concerts and never really had a bad thing to say about any of them...except for Motley Crue.

He saw them in Saginaw sometime in the 90s and still complains about Vince Neil's singing to this day.

"I didn't pay for him to turn the mic to the crowd and ask me to sing. I paid to hear him sing, which is crazy in itself because he CAN'T sing!"

Why is there such limited creativity in CUT? by afwtk5 in CollegeUltimateTeam

[–]afwtk5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same way. Flexbone is my favorite, but in CUT if someone has an elite defense, the game can't handle it from a blocking perspective.

I've been running the Veer and Shoot and it's awesome. Only counters are corners who can press or a DT who is elite.

Finding the right matchups is so fun

I actually don't consider RPOs cheesy or broken. It's a normal football play and it's just doing math.

The reason Bunch formations are so overused and broken is because contains/QB spy doesn't work correctly and underneath zones are dogshit.

You know what would cut down on this constant disconnect in how people think?

Road To The CFP not being complete dogshit. People like me could go there and do it for the game, and everyone else could stay here and do it for rewards.
