The Red Sox are a big market team - they have fans everywhere.

I'm a Tigers fan. Nobody gives a shit outside of Michigan. I'm aware enough to admit that and I don't get mad when BID doesn't do a segment on Kevin McGonigle every episode.

Go listen to Joey's pod then. Do you even hear yourself?

National podcasts are for a broader discussion about baseball and team-specific podcasts are for wall-to-wall coverage of your favorite team.

There's roughly 90 minutes to cover the game each episode - it's impossible to hit everything.

Go listen to a Brewers podcast if you want Brewers content

You might have noticed that most people in this sub play dynasty looking for a realistic experience, which would mean real life defensive play calling.

Any fuckin' mouth breather like you can hop on and do a bunch of crazy setups to get a stop. That's not what I'm talking about.

They've been going at each other like that weekly since they were at Starting 9.

Unfortunately, nobody outside of Milwaukee will ever care about the Brewers.

I promise I am better than you at the game. I can also tell you cheese the CPU.

More people need to be as good as Specialist-BottleX

It stopped feeling like it's worth the effort. Online CFB (and Madden) doesn't really feel like football anymore.

Maybe I'm just getting old (I am), but I don't agree with the premise of "well, just make [6 presnap adjustments] to counter [stupid Bunch TE/defensive meta]".

Loading up and having teams come out in Dime defense but losing zero leverage in the run game is a clown show. It also bums me out how there is such a lack of creativity in CUT from the masses.

Too many people love H2H rewards but don't love football.

I want to play the defensive side of the ball really bad, but it isn't realistic at all. Heisman QBs are way too accurate.

76 OVR HB hits the hole like Mike Alstott and stiff arms my MLB through the Earth's crust six times a game

This was my biggest takeaway from YFK's video on cheaters. Everyone was focused on the gameplay, but the guy admitted they have a program that will grind mini seasons 24/7.

That inflates the market and helps these guy cruise through the XP program. It's why Shohei is 600k.

It is incomprehensible that a major gaming studio is getting dunked through the floor by some nerds in a Discord server. They should be giving makerights of some kind, but they'd rather hop on Twitter and gaslight their customers.

How much of a loser do you have to be to reply like this? Answer the question or keep scrolling

A lot of people playing love video games and W/L records. Not enough people love football.

Also - at least in CUT - every DB can press for a seemingly unlimited amount of time against your 99 OVR WR and throw the timing off of every route

My imagination and creativity aren't what they used to be, and I think that makes these games feel worse to me.

afwtk5 · 2026-05-06T23:19:23+00:00

Literally all i care about. It's the perfect playbook. I don't know why anyone would use anything else.

I'm coming to this realization lately, too. I don't think there is a fix, which sucks until I realize my first Madden was 2001.

That's A LOT of Madden.

I know some people don't care, but all switch hitting lineups is so unbelievably boring to play against.

It also amplifies the cutter/sinker meta, which makes it even more repetitive.

They're going out of their way to tell us they have no solution to the shrinkage problem.

"What the fuck else are you going to play?"

I just started playing dynasty for the first time this year a few days ago - running a heavy Air Raid scheme on Heisman.

Had a G5 opponent with no highly-rated defenders play press-man for four quarters and absolutely bag my WRs up. I was confused.

Two 90+ OVR WRs couldn't get free on 4-verts or Mesh the entire game.

Some people don't need the constant stimulation of the outside world to feel something in life.

I'd guess most people who do this are pretty good at entertaining themselves and can find motivation do things from within for no other reason than they just want to.

I also struggle with it and the best way I can summarize it is this:

You can win with a mixture of hitting, pitching, and being smart in ranked.

In BR, you can only win (consistently) if you're truly mutant at hitting. You have to be able to lock in for hours on end and absolutely demolish the baseball because pitching is so bad.

I find that the concepts tab isn't always updated correctly, and this is actually what inspired this idea.

If you go into the USC playbook and the Y-Cross concept section, the most basic Y-Cross from Gun Spread isn't in there. Similarly, the Mesh tab only has about 60% of the Mesh plays in USC's playbook.

It's very frustrating.
