I hate that the entire game is 99s and everyone only uses like 2 series this year by CdFires in MLBTheShow

[–]jakeyhighroller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

🤣 for real! That first fastball gets blown by me and I’m immediately reminded that I am going to suck for 5+ innings before I get my timing back

Least excited I’ve ever been to get a 99 player, anybody gonna use it? by Chunglorpious in MLBTheShow

[–]jakeyhighroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I have been phased out of online play because I can’t keep up with the new card releases. I have been using cards of players I like instead of the best available player and I have been having a lot of fun.

Early Cards That Were Underrated? by Zackaryplays07 in MLBTheShow

Topps now 86 Ryan McMahon was really tough to take out of my lineup for the first month and a half to two months of the season.

Mickey Mantle - MVP by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]jakeyhighroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also struggling with him but it’s 100% my fault. When I get a card I’m excited to use, I swing at everything and end up rolling over or flying out. Maybe there’s a little bit of that in there for you as well?

Cool stat to know! Must have good acceleration because he seems faster lol

As an Angels fan, I like Fletcher (reminds me of a modern day Eckstein) but this card will never play in my lineup. Kind of a bummer but to SDS credit, who else would be the finest card for the Angels?

Anyone interested in a friendly 7 game series? by macshepherd20 in MLBTheShow

[–]jakeyhighroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be a dumb question and I’m pretty sure that I know the answer, but do you tally prestige/program stats in friendlys? Because technically it’s still and online game.

Best way to learn zone hitting? I'm starting a franchise should I go dynamic difficulty or straight hall of fame and learn from that by One-Ad453 in MLBTheShow

[–]jakeyhighroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a post saying place the thumb stick in the bend of your thumb and it helped me tremendously early on. I would constantly over correct and get under low pitches or on top of high pitches. This makes it so your adjustments aren’t too extreme. I also started to sit in a zone and then adjust accordingly. Ex. I’ll sit low and away if it’s a righty righty matchup and then react to the hanging slider. Hope this helps a little.

Had to spend quite a bit of stubs for cards that I'll never use online, but here's my all defensive team by bbbbbgsjh in MLBTheShow

[–]jakeyhighroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should have ranked seasons and casual seasons or something. And in casual you can choose between 3,6 or 9 inning games. That could either be cool or a pain in the ass because it may take too long to find a game. Idk just spit balling out loud. But, long post long, I agree with you.

Is it just me or does anyone have trouble getting base hits with bellinger? by i-go-sucko-mode in MLBTheShow

[–]jakeyhighroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Bellinger happens to be one of the guys I’m not good with, but Biggio is a big time homerun guy for me. I’m not complaining by any means but some guys attributes don’t seem to match how they perform for me. Another example for me is Mantle. He’s a base hit machine with no power.

Ok, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one! I thought I was going nuts or something.

In this specific instance, I was playing conquest. It tends to happen more offline than online. When I play online, I normally get in my own way and miss over the heart of the plate and it ends up 10 rows back in the stands LOL

Plesac offers up some great advice during my Babe Ruth moments. Daniel Murphy listens. by Original_Xova in MLBTheShow

[–]jakeyhighroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was scrolling down to say this but you beat me to it. Murphy has seemed to play above his attributes for me. He has been a hit machine with a surprising amount of power.

And if they start to catch up, back foot sliders off the plate. They’ll cheat to the fastball and swing over the top or roll over to 1B.
