re: Where's All My MLB The Show 19 Fans At?!?

First year playing. I’m starting to get my swings down. This is a game where I have to pay 110% attention to. Madden/2k I could get away being lazy and do stuff on my phone while playing. The show? Nope. I’ve caught myself browsing TD in between bats and what happens is that I’ll swing at a slider 5” off the plate when I do that

My team is at 80 overall. Have about 76k in Stubbs and not sure what to do to get more. I have a good bit of the challenges to do still. Had to take a break from 1st inning boss challenges because I was trying to hit Gossage with 75ovr players at the time.

It is far far better than 18

I saw that that OSFM full minors rosters were released. Anyone had a chance to download and give them a run yet?

time to start the franchise.

Man it’s so satisfying to work an 0-2 count into a 3-2 count and then hit a homer.

It’s comparable for me to working the good user LBs over in M18 in online franchise. It’s like poetry. They think that slant route is where I’m throwing but instead I’m waiting for the late post and they took the bait.

Pulled Jose Ramirez from a pack last night. Puts me up to 4 diamonds, Ramirez, buster posey, ty Cobb, and verlander.

I was playing a BR game tonight, nursing a 1-0 lead, my opponent has Migual Sano on 1st, he hits a blooper with Yelich in-between my SS and LF. I have rookie Bryce Harper at LF. Barely doesn’t get under the hit, his throw into first actually goes to my 2B who isn’t looking for the ball... it goes flying into the stands in-between shallowing-ish 1B/RF. I’m screaming at my TV because I was outplaying this guy by sitting on bad pitches and making solid contact. Now is going to literally throw this game away. Sano and Yelich are running free. By the time my 1B recovers the ball, Sano is looking to score, about a quarter down the 3B line. My 38 arm str 50 acc 1b throws a DART to my catcher to JUST get Sano out. I then run up to Yellich and get the tag out

I thought he was going to get a walk off inside the park home run with Yelich to getting a miraculous two save to win the game. My decent fielder makes a shite throw meanwhile my shite fielder throws a Mahomes rope to home. My opponent shouldn’t be too upset. He was swinging at all of my pitches while they nosedived into the dirt. I wasn’t going to pull my starter but had bases loaded with 1 out when he came up to the plate.

Side note played Rookie Zack Greinke messed me up the other day. His 71mph curveball mixed with his fastball was impossible for me to read. That curve would sit about low center then drop into the dirt. Then when I sit on it, it’s his fast ball for the strike. I was dying a slow death.

Yes

You’ll get used to it my man. It takes some time. I usually always take the 1st pitch in every at bat. The more pitches you see, the better you’ll be able to distinguish what’s a strike and what’s a ball. As far as timing, this is something I still struggle with a bit. You can just adjust the slider to make it a little more forgiving. If I were you I’d put it on dynamic difficulty for now also. This lets the game adjust the difficulty based on how you are playing. And don’t feel the need to power swing a lot. I only do it when I’m up like 2-0, 3-0, 3-1 in the count. You get plenty of home runs by just contact swinging.
