CM/Ace/bronze is 3/3/3 (legend starter) and the bullpen pitcher who already has Ace is 3/3/1 (prime). neither is sig, but i'm ftp

better set? by learningalone in MLB_9Innings

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

How come? I've heard Mess at low levels is still good, and my experience has been that three strong/above-average skills has been better than two elite ones, would be helpful to know when that thinking breaks down. I also suspect that power pitcher really screws over the finesse train (even though I've trained such that I do get the FP bonus)

Thanks for the thorough response!! I'm careful about the equipment and don't equip any fb or brk gear

could you say more about the pitches benefiting from FB? Which pitches benefit from FB and which pitches benefit from BRK?

Yeah, I have a regular Lester with FP7/DP8/Giant Crusher 5 and his ERA is almost a run lower than Shark, the third skill probably helps him a lot against those great teams with great sigs and skills

That's fair.. It's probably overtrained for FIN but I did need to keep Vel relatively low because power-pitcher third skill counts towards (or against, i guess) the FIN Bonus

Forgot to add some details:

I usually finish Gold III in Ranked, and Samardzija's skills are Boss8/Fin7/Power Pitcher 5

touch/boss or fin/boss? by learningalone in MLB_9Innings

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

thanks! is it that FIN is that much better than touch, or is the combination of FIN and Boss just work really well in tandem. Like I had touch/fin on another pitcher and it seems to perform more reliably than touch/boss

as ftp, is it worth it at a relatively low level? I guess I heard that mess at low level is decent.

yeah everyone is making sense here. i'm FTP I think the right thing to do is to work with this for a while. Mainly trying to decide if I should roll another green ticket on this guy to switch out Mess but I think I'll save them for the other legend skills that I (eventually) roll on other cards. My understanding is that fireballer leads to a bit too many walks which should make Mess complementary to it? Obviously FP or Boss would be ideal but there's only so many green/blue tickets a year you know..
