The ScoutScoops Ridin' Rosters Full Minors 21 roster for Franchise Mode was put into the Vault on Friday.

Those guys are amazing.

It took me way longer than it should have to complete the monthly April rewards collection.

If taking forever to to boost your overall is broken then yea. Just started my 2nd year in AAA full time after leading my team in every hitting category and they finally moved me to the top of the lineup yet I’m only a 69 overall.

Yes, but they announced that new bat skins are available for purchase, so there’s that.

Yea yea. The logic in the game doesn’t make sense. Like I said, lead my team in every category then the start of the next season they’ll take me out of the lineup or I’ll sit a game and come in to pinch hit. I’m never gonna make the majors

I was watching some streamers play this game last night, and it looks ridiculously hard.

I was sent back down to the minors after winning the NLDS. Not like after the season, like the Braves were playing in the NLCS but I was in the Gwinnett clubhouse. WTF?

If you’ve never played before it’s got a steep learning curve. Once you get over that hump though it’s not “easy” but it’s not hard either.

I used to be awful at hitting. Through 40ish DD games I had a BA of like .160. I’m now making consistent contact. I’d say over my last 15 games I’m around a .300 BA.

I finally got to the point where I can pretty consistently hit the ball hard on All-Star difficulty hitting....but I"m still entirely out of my league once I step up to HofF.

I did semi-master pinpoint pitching though and that's helped a lot on that side of things. I find that I hang way fewer pitches up in the zone vs with meter.

Game is maybe the hardest sports game I've ever played. That being said, I've never played this or any baseball game in the past

I noticed that right away. I would get good release with meter and the pitches would still drift over the plate if I was trying to paint a corner. Very frustrating when I like to throw fastballs 30%+ of the time.

Did they patch in the RTTS progression? My missions aren’t progressing with my archetypes.

Pinpoint might be worth your time to try out then. There's a learning curve for sure but it's not all that difficult once you figure out what you're trying to do. Watching a couple Youtube videos on it helped me out a ton.

I use it. I was responding to the guy above saying how much better he is using pinpoint vs meter.

Pinpoint is the best way to go.

I must suck at this game because they only let me play one game per series basically. It's much harder to hit home runs with this one than previous year's games. I feel like I'm going to be stuck in AA for at least 3 seasons the way this is going. Kind of frustrating seeing that I only have time to play maybe once or twice a week since i have two kids under 3 and a full time job

I threw my first perfect game with Pedro the other day. My last out they blooped the ball into the gap between 1B and the outfield. Thought for sure it was over. Fortunately my shifted 2B made a great jumping grab while running there.

Followed up with a 2 hitter with Fernando.
