Btw, there was talk of throws to 3rd base not being able to be cut off.

But in the video i saw the option to cutoff throws to 3rd at least twice, so it looks like you can.

That is Mt Davis built by Al Davis the owner of the raiders. Thought Those would sell out but never did. The old A's staduim was a beautiful park.

What's going on with pitch edits? I was about to start updating them but I guess that will be on hold for now.

I'm still at the beginning of that 7 hour marathon but I already hope that lumbersexual will make it far in the tournament.

Good that You agree. I find the current A's stadium very unique in baseball nowadays.

Slowly working my way through the stream.

Made me realize how much i miss playing sports games(games in general tbh) with friends/my brother on the couch.Just don't have many friends who play games let alone sports games anymore and would want to play games when we do meet up.

Was good to hear they want to get better stat tracking in the game.drooling at the thought if they could get player cards/stat tracking like nba2k into the show.Then i could see a real use for y2y saves in franchise.

Wish there was a better phrase as the show is certainly not a turd!

2 things I wish they had were numerous signs in Left and right field and the Bill King Booth

I'm watching the live stream again the past few days and was just wondering about directional hitting. It sounds cool and all but will it be too easy? Just asking since everyone that used directional hitting during the stream seemed to be getting a lot of hits.

Here is what I think I noticed especially watching the last game. Nick greatly outhit Kirby (Kirby was using directional) but Kirby seemed to get more solid contact on his hits. So I wonder if someone who is really good at zone hitting has a greater influence over what happens during an at bat than someone using Directional. I plan to try a few games of directional hitting and see how it goes. I normally use zone.

IMO, zone will always perform better as it depends more on user skill and not weighed as heavily on player ratings with PCI placement

I'm not sure how easily I could change from Zone to Directional. I've been playing Zone forever and I think it would be pretty hard for me to try to not hit the ball where it is going rather than pointing in the direction I want the ball to go. Also pretty sure I would be be aiming up for the fences all the time with directional instead of just trying to make good contact. Just don't see me using directional hitting.

I use zone and at the event my biggest challenge was to try to stay the course for the type of hit I wanted to produce. I kept wanting to move the left stick to where the ball was in the strike zone. It takes some getting used to if you are strictly a zone player.

yeah, that's what I'm thinking. How well do you think it produced the result you wanted? Like if you wanted to hit a ball in the air to right field (up and to the right I suppose), did you think you got that result most of the time? Or did you see results that were totally different, like a grounder to 3rd base when you wanted right field? I imagine a lot of it has to do with the pitch and your timing, but when those two things are good, did you get the result you wanted the majority of the time?

What I did like about the system is it not being a total overriding force. Timing, pitch type, location player attributes have input on the result. It did feel satisfying when the different factors lined up getting your desired result. I also found that you can over compensate using this system by pulling balls foul where normally they would be fair. A lot of that depends on the hitter's push/pull tendencies.
