This might be Tales From My Ass but I think the timing is more forgiving if you use Zone than Directional/Analog.

That actually makes sense, though, since you're adding the dimension of having to aim the bat with the left stick. It should be more forgiving. Directional seems to be the most punishing of all in terms of timing. If you swing even a fraction off, you're gonna foul the ball out of play.

I was only really having success with directional when using the contact swing

Sweet, Michael Pineda and Manny Machado are now golds. Machado was my worst player starting and Pineda was my original best starting pitcher. Haven't used him in ages.

Yes I knew holding on to Pineda was a good idea! Now to sell my two Puigs, David Wright, and Pineda.

I've had, like 3 Pinedas and fed them all to my created player.

Late last night I checked the market and saw that Shelby Miller had shot up to 6,000 stubs probably cause a lot of people that he would boost to a gold for almost throwing a no hitter yesterday and he didn't move at all lol. Back to 3,000. He might get a boost next week though

Will somebody reset those two games between villa and myself (not the 8-2 one)? We both selected reset last night and it still hasn't taken.
I just went to reset, it's the 1st and 3rd games? Just now it said in progress, but we'll see
I'm not totally sure...hit reset on both and usually the game says it will reset in the events menu but it doesn't. ugh

I did the same earlier and both are still saying in progress.
Nah, we can reset that one too.

We'll because after that 6th inning bullshit missed double play and then you scoring 2 runs afterwards I just really didn't give much of a Fuck because the game felt out of reach.
It ended up being a pretty fun game though aside from that 6th inning

I'm fine with the base stealing, but don't pull that bullshit anymore. I don't give a shit if the game wronged you, you don't understand real MLB bullshit pain to be doing that stuff!

But he was giving you an easy out, pitchers aren't fast enough to cheese bunt
DietRob
i've been begging for over 5 years.
I dont understand what the big deal is. It was my pitcher I was trying to speed things along and get out of the inning there were 2 outs. Why should I try to get a hit with a pitcher that is terrible at the plate if I'm leaving him in the game. I'm starting to feel like it might be best for me to leave the league.
and to say I don't understand REAL MLB games when I watch hundreds a year is a really funny joke.
Just use common sense. Like I said the other stuff was fine. But it's well documented that bunting is overpowered and when you drop one with a pitcher in that situation, it just reeks of cheese.
I'm talking about in the game.
but yeah, give me any time a pitcher has bunted with 2 strikes, nobody on, and I'll shut the fuck up
DietRob
i've been begging for over 5 years.
If you honestly think I was trying to cheese with 2 outs and a pitcher at the plate then I really don't know what to tell you.

I guess you are going to say it has to be a pitcher though lol

I've never thought of you as someone who would try to cheese the game in that way, but like I said, nobody actually does that shit. And we've said over and over and over in this thread how that bunting shit is ridiculous and you said you didn't give a fuck and would do you what you want, which is fine, but understand in that situation, it's not a good look.
How does your years of baseball experience tell you that a fast position player is the same thing as a pitcher?

But if it was a fast position player that I did this with then I would most certainly be cheesing though, right?

man this game makes me rage like no other. and i never get angry playing games
Nope!
And I guess that's what you haven't understood.
I'd like for you to stay, but I hope you get why that shit is irritating especially to people here who have played a bunch of games and have to deal with that on online play
I probably should have let it go, but when that stuff happens it's really annoying to deal with even if I got a free out. I don't think you're a cheeser but in that situation with that guy a bunt just seems like "well fuck it hopefully the game bails me out" not baseball
DietRob
i've been begging for over 5 years.
Yea, I guess you're right. I don't understand. The only games I ever play online are in this league. So I'm not exposed to all of this cheese stuff that the rest of you are. I've never thought anything I've been doing was cheesing. That's not the type of player or person I am. I'll just play by whatever rules you all want me too. I never thought I would have to defend myself for stealing bases (earlier in the thread) and now bunting. But here we are. It doesn't matter enough to me to continue to argue about it.
It's cool man. I don't want to be the 'heel' of the league so I'll do my best to follow whatever guidelines you all want to set down or try to at least and if that becomes too frustrating or restrictive for me then I'll go ahead and leave and just play offline like I normally do.

Again I never said your base stealing was a problem. Don't put words into my mouth!
I'm not even against you bunting with your fast guys, or squeezing, or sacrificing, any of that shit. I NEVER SAID THAT! I guess you just picked the very rare situation that I could bitch at and I decided to be a bitch about it!
If you had a guy on, that's a totally different story

Oh, cool. Yea I didn't realize that. So if I do that I can see if the opponent is in 'bunt' defense. That's good to know!

I haven't been exposed to cheesing either so it sounds like we are maybe being a bit harsh on Rob
But I think I get what you're saying which is just to play the game like a normal team would
My tendency when I'm losing bad is just to get silly and do really stupid shit when the game is out of reach to try and have some fun with it

I just mentally check out and strike out a ton when I'm getting my ass whipped, or if I'm pitching just deal fastballs down the middle hoping to get mercy rule'd.
Pretty much what I did tonight against drizz. Gattis got got. Almost had him in the last two innings though!
