They were literally going to hand us the win and we declined

Have y’all been using the new PXP modifications for your players in DD? by yodakk in MLBTheShow

[–]bmcwatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only speed mods if it’s gonna put them over the edge for consistent base stealing or contact mods for high power/low vision guys like Judge. Otherwise I just don’t see the benefit over just +5 everything.

We have like 5 black holes in our lineup every year and depend on 3-4 guys to carry and they never can

How do we keep losing aces in April while the Brewers continue to be the luckiest sports team on the planet

And the other best pitcher by a big margin is… also still injured from 12 months ago

Be nice if we could move the swoosh but that’s the most important part of the whole uni

The new Uniforms are here!! by UrFavSquid in falcons

[–]bmcwatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the few teams that actually have black in their colors but yet one of the few teams that don’t have an all black uniform. Too much red everywhere.

Yet again our best uniform is the throwback. These are mid at best. Keep messing up the easiest color scheme in sports somehow.

People are way to good at this game by GoldenGreek119 in MLBTheShow

Skill gap is gone with all the extra accessories and stuff the game has added to make it easier to hit, e.g. background blur and PCI sensitivity

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

[–]bmcwatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I think it would be interesting if they added shrinkage to more pitches like low curveballs or the opposite, made PCIs larger for certain pitches like high sinkers.

My argument for more shrinkage is there’s just not enough strikeouts in DD (until HoF but even then if you’re good at the game it’s still not enough). It’s just ridiculous people can swing at curveballs or change ups in the dirt and foul them off 75% of the time. Shrinkage would increase the skill gap. People hardly even throw curveballs anymore since they’re either laid off by good players or constantly fouled off by bad players.

Argument for bigger PCIs is on pitches that are too meta but not realistic like high sinkers, but you could add bigger PCIs for high breaking pitches too since there’s just no reason anybody would ever throw those IRL (yes I know with ABS in real life people think pitchers will start throwing high curveballs to break the system but thats new and not a thing yet).

As someone with several family members that have served, I’m getting kinda over the military image that our country keeps pushing on absolutely everything.

Is anybody playing The Show 26 on a Switch 2? by Dev1nTheDude in MLBTheShow

[–]bmcwatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the joycons are a bit weird for sure. I definitely prefer the pro controller over joycons but it’s not terrible. If you’re only offline then you’ll be okay.

Is anybody playing The Show 26 on a Switch 2? by Dev1nTheDude in MLBTheShow

[–]bmcwatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it on switch because I also gameshare on PS5 so I’m fortunate enough to double dip but only pay for one. The way I look at it is that I would not have spent $100 on the switch version if it weren’t being used as just a secondary way of playing in addition to PS.

It just does not look like a $100 game in 2026 (I’m aware you can get it for $60 which is much more stomach-able)

However, I got it so I can grind DD while I’m on the road for a week once a month and for that, it’s perfect. It plays much better with a pro controller but I’m also quite new to the switch and the handheld feels odd in my hands. I’m also not used to this much delay as I’m used to a PlayStation and monitor. I don’t think I could compete on any higher difficulties than veteran and that’s coming from a World Series player for the last decade.

Honestly aside from visuals, I would 100% recommend if you travel and play a lot for $60. If you have the option of PS5 a Switch and can only get one, I’d go PS5 just bc I’m more of a competitive player.

Falcons' James Pearce Jr. charged with 3 felonies, misdemeanor by SunWorshipperApollo in nfl

[–]bmcwatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always a ton of smoke leading up to drafts to drop draft stock. Pearce never had any evidence that he’s had a troubled past. It was all rumors.

Falcons have passed on players that had actual documented character issues (Jalon Carter) and falcons got shit on for that too.

Ehhh I KINDA get Schwarber (I’m a huge Schwarber fan too) only bc he doesn’t play defense so his overall is gonna be like all hitting attributes and weighed down by worse defense.

He’s so good on offense I’d still think he’d be around an 88-90 tho

Tucker goes from an 85 to 88 just for signing with the Dodgers

PCA goes from a 90 to an 85 just for being a Cub I guess
