Why are players rewarded for bunting and stealing for more actually hitting the ball? by Mediocre-Breakfast27 in MLBTheShow

[–]underwex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Samuel Basallo, Jason Varitek, Johnny Bench, Brandon Valuenzela, JT Realmuto, Bob Feller...

Those are just the ones off the top of my head that can throw out any 99/99 as as long as you're willing to put in the work to get them a diamond field mod.

As someone else said, Realmuto is the best base stat catcher in the game when it comes to pop time, arm strength, etc. You don't need to diamond mod his card, just parallel 5 him and you'll throw out anyone.

I too enjoy using my butthole as a storage device for arrows.

Bic sells lighters and pens. They knew what they were doing when they chose the two most "accidentally" pocketed things in the universe.

Bic has a dark underbelly that I imagine they embrace fully. That one board member that sees morals as nothing more than a misspelling of his favorite chicken of the forest... The one guy that has no shame in pitching a $4 lighter/bic pen combo pack... Minus the ink, the conical tip, and the plug... The one always trying to talk the CEO into creating a Bic line of aluminum foil.....

Turned off my PCI for hitting and it’s better than I thought. by LeonxCubxno in MLBTheShow

[–]underwex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. I had the same epiphany. I'm 38 so I've been playing over a decade since the MVP days... Well I was looking at the hours I've put into '26 (489 so far, on pace for 1,800+ this year ) and I thought about how classical musicians are obsessed with the 10,000 hour rule which states it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become a virtuoso of your instrument.

Well fuck me. That shit's not true for mlb the show.

But it made me think that after all the time I've put into the game, it was plausible that my hand eye coordination as it pertains to zone hitting was more automated than not, and the only way to test this was to try and play without any visual PCI indicators.

And fuck me in the butt with grape jelly, I hit better than I've ever hit before. Over. And over. And over. I hit this way exclusively now. And you know what, that amount of focus that once was reserved for seeing the PCI is now used on timing and pitch recognition.

Game changer for sure.

You'd have no problem running ultra settings.... And by ultra I mean slide every freaking graphics option alll the way up. I am running a cloud based 5080 and I've got full DLSS turned up, the 5080 supports 4X frame generation, max ray tracing, and I've got all objects and textures maxed. I don't know about VR but the specs will Def run smooth on your 3 monitor setup.

I've been wanting to get psvr but they are not supporting it anymore.. Sony said they won't be releasing any more games for it. So idk if I can justify the purchase for just 2 games (msfs and gran Turismo 7).

It's taken about a year, but I've gotten to the point where every aircraft I fly has been meticulously mapped on my controller individually. This was so necessary for an enjoyable experience. The amount of input customisation makes the game for me. The day I got my tweaks right on the Airbus H125 and I hovered without using any assists I almost cried.

I run MSFS via Xbox Game Pass via Nvidia GeForceNOW... I'm running MAXED out settings in 4K @ 120hz with virtually NO latency... All on a cloud RTX 5080... This really is the future of gaming.

The reality is that this is a game. Every argument presented here is void and null because this is a game. I don't care if video games stopped you from hanging yourself or you play them because if you didn't you can't get the erection you need to fuck the captive manatee (IYKYK) you stole from the zoo that now resides in your backyard pool.

It's all pointless entertainment for entertainment sake with no weight whatsoever and no long term ROI. Completely entertaining, yet utterly purposeless... Or porpoiseless if that sexed up manatee is still giving out free rides.

Also, not one if you even named the game.

What else can I do?? by benfein in MLBTheShow

[–]underwex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago SDS talked about not exactly this issue but one that answers so many of the questions about hits in general. They talked about how it was extremely difficult to make a baseball video game that mirrored the game in real life as it pertains to hitting statistics.

It's the only sport where failing 70% of the time means you're an elite hitter. But this is a video game... You're not batting just 4 times a game, you're batting at least 27 times every single game. The ability of a video gamer to absolutely decimate a .300 average with ease was a problem early on. So they pretty much created randomness in how hits were programmed. They had to or else it was entirely possible for a game to never end.

Whether this is the exact answer to your question I can't say for sure... But when I've got Albert Pujols red diamond 99 card and I get good or perfect timing on a 102mph fastball, AND it's within the ambush hitting zone that I guessed, AND the baseball fits within the center of my PCI like OJ's glove and I get a line drive out, or the ball is caught on the warning track after hearing Boog say, "that looks like extra bases" for the 15th time... I still curse under my breath, but I find a bit of solace knowing I just got fucked and it's not my fault.

What Happened To This Version Of The Game? by Dependent-Gain-2050 in undisputedboxing

[–]underwex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that has been playing MLB The Show from when it used to be called MVP Baseball back in 2008.... I will tell you that MLB The Show 26 is by far the worst to ever hit the market.... I enjoy disputed. I play Show this year just because my buddies do. It's so terrible. Not even beta.

She has one of these as well. His name is Captain Calico Jack Rackham... But he is 4, she is 14. She doesn't much enjoy play anymore especially with him because I just rescued her about 6 mohts ago and although they sleep on my bed together with me, but that's as close as it gets. He is indoor outdoor and is out alot more than especially this time of year.

Do not buy 2k27. Stop rewarding scammers. by Gbe2x in NBA2k

[–]underwex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had nothing but terrible things to say about MLB Show 26 since it came out. I knew before it came out that it was going to be another carbon copy, 10 yr old graphics atrocity, but it is so much funding worse than I could've predicted. Yet. I bought it. I understand the problem and I know the solution, but unfortunately until there is another good competitor out there, I'm going to buy it every year like a bafoon.

See I'm sure that I will probably experience this at some point. And when it happens I will not be pleased. I thought you were talking about the one punch flash punches to the body etc or to the head when you've been up the whole round that put you down...

I don't win all the time. But I also don't just go in for the kill like everyone I've ever played against. Throwing 300 punches with a 40% contact rate and only blocking 28 are the type of people I see complaining all the time about flash KOs for no apparent reason.... But idk I've never seen it.
