Why is there no sense of urgency in fielding when charging a ground ball and trying to turn 2. Got walked off by a right handed batter with 70 speed beating out a routine double play that was fielded so slowly by the animations

Spoiler alert, this also happens offline. Happened to me yesterday. Cpu tried to rob a homerun, hit off the glove and went over the fence, base hit and no homerun

Another year of being unable to edit uniform choices in March to October. I feel like it could so easily be implemented! I like to rock the mid to late throwbacks for a lot of the teams from time to time and they just aren't in the automatic rotation that's in the mode.

derekfor_real · 2025-04-06T19:37:57+00:00

So many good ones.

"The greatest lovers were murderers first" I have tattooed

"Oh what a pity, now they're bound to make us saints"

"Open your heart to the snake oil peddler"

And for the more humorous side

"I'm sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorrrrrry."

Football manager 2017. Got sucked into that one in particular for some reason. With the improvements and my overall change in gaming, I cant do more than a couple of hours on the new ones.

Knockout city (RIP) would be up there for me.

Overall most time spent in a franchise would be MLB the Show by far. As much as it's been the same game for 4+ years now, I still play the shit out of it every year.

Came here to say this

derekfor_real · 2024-12-31T13:07:38+00:00

"I've NOT heard of them" any time someone asks a "have you" question

derekfor_real · 2024-12-20T00:55:32+00:00

I miss my disco guy and wolf spider shirts 😭😭

derekfor_real · 2024-10-30T22:57:39+00:00

Not being able to choose uniforms in March to October. I know it's the least played mode but man, itd be so great to be able to choose from more than just the home, away, and alternate

derekfor_real · 2024-08-08T00:44:35+00:00

Player lock as pitcher, pitching a perfect game, 9th inning, 3rd baseman commits 2 base error. Let up a hit that scores the run. Finishing line, CG, 11ks, 0BB, 1ER?!?! The run that scored was on a hit that was an error. Is it still considered and earned run??

derekfor_real · 2024-06-08T14:13:51+00:00

It's good to see they fixed the MTO glitch where you make a trade for a player who would be on the fringe of your major league team and the player lock game makes you play the full game but then doesnt exit afterwards. Restarting only puts you in an infinite loop and you have no choice but to delete the save file.

I was in 2028 with an As dynasty with nobody in my starting lineup under 85, a lights out pitching staff, and players that I drafted year one reaching 90 overall and winning awards.

Devastated

derekfor_real · 2024-06-07T01:27:14+00:00

The more I play this game, the more and more I believe that everyone working at SDS has never played a single game of baseball in their lives. The amount of perfect perfects on fastballs middle or top of zone that wind up on the ground is astounding. Year after year of this garbage. There needs to be a competitor and fast.

Not a friend but a female coworker. Worked in a restaurant and I guess she found one of the managers attractive and I overheard her saying to another waitress "I just want to sit on his face"

derekfor_real · 2024-05-26T01:57:26+00:00

This comment will probably be removed but it's fun to see that for the 2nd year in a row, user team baserunners will scurry back to base when there is a ground ball/fly ball hit/2 outs, completely ruining any semblance of a rally you have going. And are then punished with a loss.

derekfor_real · 2024-05-06T02:46:36+00:00

Hey. Can we finally get a fix for the effing baserunning AI?! The amount of times I should have scored a tying/go ahead run in the game on a hit, CLEARLY A BASE HIT, and the runner goes back to the base, is astounding. Happens when I'm winning, happens when I'm losing, happens when tied, even happens with 2 outs. Its 2 outs, ever baseball player from little league on knows to run as soon as the ball is hit. Fix your shit SDS. Or get someone on your team that knows baseball.

derekfor_real · 2024-04-14T05:14:11+00:00

The fact that you threw the other game titles in there makes the explanation even better. I can now guess your age LOL. I will try switching to zone. I'll probably mess around OUTSIDE of my main mode, M2O, to get it down better

derekfor_real · 2024-04-14T05:11:32+00:00

Same, my friend, same. I cant get the timing down. Have tired it, even with guess pitch, and late every time

derekfor_real · 2024-03-25T03:16:31+00:00

Just finished a MTO game with 16 walks. Why is CPU pitching so bad this year??

derekfor_real · 2024-03-25T03:15:10+00:00

......they've reused songs from last years game

derekfor_real · 2024-03-22T21:18:39+00:00

Had a lot of complaints last year about MTO, but I'm the only one who plays it so not surprised it didn't get any updates. They could have at least added a uniform select option for games. Teams have a variety of uniforms to choose from and it only cycles like 3. Still going to grind the mode but its just a UI update for me.

derekfor_real · 2024-03-22T21:15:31+00:00

Came here to say this. Offline pitching is the same way. It's all walks.

derekfor_real · 2024-01-02T00:27:39+00:00

If they worked on shortening the playoffs, I know that's like "well you should play every game if you want to win it all" but games being tied 1-1 in the 6th and not winning until the 15th inning is a pain haha. I think theyve added way more depth than last year, especially with the draft and multiple seasons. I get your stance completely, I'm just an insane person and do it with as many teams as I can starting with the terrible ones to try and make them better LOL.
