The better players should still end up on top. You know going it's 3 innings so draft accordingly. I'd prefer longer to remove the effects of errors and other occurrences that are likely to only affect one of the two players in such a short game.

My concern is if people will stack their team with relievers with better stuff over starters. You know there will be people who draw Neshek and then use them every inning even when their energy is depleted. I love the idea since Hearthstone is a fun balance of risk/reward, but in 3 innings it may come down to how lucky you are drafting. In Hearthstone even mediocre cards can be used for solid strategies. If you draft the equivalent of a 1/1 Hearthstone card in The Show, that player is pretty useless.

Like others I still enjoy playing baseball with traditional baseball strategies. I don't like stacking my team or playing in a way that doesn't feel like baseball, but it's a video game so I will work within the game's systems.

I believe itll be the opposite. Ppl stack their team with speed n try to steal and bunt their way to 1 run.

Yeah. And speed can be gotten for cheap.

But if they really fixed the bunting and bunt defense this year maybe it won't be quite so overpowered.

Based on the video, every team will have 1 diamond, 2 gold, 8 silver, 13 bronze and 1 common player. It's going to be difficult to "stack" a team in any way.

If your down 2-0 after the 1st, it's going to be hard to come back most of the time. People are just gonna get pissed in this mode. Rage mode more like it.

Or they treat it like last 3 innings of the game where they need to manufacture runs with bunting, stealing, sac flys. Risky to count on home runs in 3 inning games, if you hit one great but if there's a dominant pitcher on the mound, gonna need to scratch out a run or two and not rely on long ball.

That is what i don't want bunting stealing cheese. I never play that way in DD.
