Re: MLB The Show 21

Def watch the pitcher’s hand. I also set my batters aim to my fav part of the plate (down and away) and I’ll only swing if the ball is heading there. Once I get 2 strikes, I then just focus in the dead center if the plate. Also, you’ll learn a lot about the pitcher if you don’t swing until AFTER you...

Re: MLB The Show 21

This game still owns my soul. Mostly playing the 3 different Online Modes (ranked, BR and Events) depending on how much time I have. I probably worked harder unlocking the Ozzie Smith Card than I ever have in a game before. IMO, this is the greatest sports game I’ve ever played. What a celebration o...

Re: MLB The Show 21

I've lost my mind to the card collecting side of this game (which is a first for me with any sports game). They've got the gaming-crack formula dialed-in just "right". Again, what a game.

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

Did anyone else get invited to the Beta Xbox cloud gaming on iOS? Pretty damn cool playing MLB 21 in my iPad Pro yesterday although I got a couple of hits and mostly threw balls due to the bad lag and latency of the controller, seeing a bunch of Xbox library games on the iPad was very cool. Obvious...

Re: MLB The Show 21

Ha, I am playing with the Cards! Also, despite having Yadi, I've yet to actually throw out one single guy trying to steal. Even if I get the green arrow thing "perfect", he still beats it by a mile. I don't want to touch sliders. Am I missing something??

Re: MLB The Show 21

Occasionally, I want to drill a guy for a little payback. I find trying to hit the batters is incredibly hard. I’ve only done it once on accident and not once on purpose, :twisted:

Re: Kicking The Tires On A New TV...Advice Needed

I’ve seen those comments on Reddit, too. It’s not been an issue for me at all. When I got the set last summer, there was ghosting going on with VRR, but it was quickly addressed in firmware update a few weeks later. Since then, it’s just been awesome. You’ll love it.

Re: MLB The Show 21

I like playing with 'guess pitch' on. It's a nice little reward for getting it right (even if I still swing and MISS 99% of the time).

I tried pinpoint. Too wacky, maybe I’ll keep trying it. I messed around with some of the other modes. Battle Royale was really fun. Conquest made my head hurt.

Re: MLB The Show 21

I had a pitcher take a grounder off his ankle which led to a mound discussion and him waiving away the trainer. Just good stuff. That said, I’ve yet to have any of players get injured, but I’m sure it’s coming.

Re: MLB The Show 21

Yeah, thanks! I’ve turned it back on and it certainly helps make the games more “active”. I still can’t believe how great it is to have an MLB game again (never had a PS).

Re: MLB The Show 21

Isn't Dynamic Difficulty like "rubberband AI"? I typically turn that off in any games I play. Do most people play with it on? Also, is this a bug? I had runners on 1st and 3rd, I hit the batter & the game suddenly ended. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AHhVpk4MKFzyj7g&cid=D88510F5D8F6F62F&id=D...

Re: MLB The Show 21

Holy crap this game is great. I seriously can’t believe how good it is. The player animations are so smooth and varied. Anyway, good stuff. A couple questions from a first timer: 1. For franchise games, it asks me to choose the weather before each game. Is there way to have it be random? Seems I odd...

So I never played the Wolfenstein new games and download the new order on GPU. Man after 30 minutes I hate this, it is so scripted and honestly not much fun. What am I missing here because these games got like rave reviews when released. I liked The New Order (one of the few shooters I actually fin...

I bought this game and have found it be really hard. I’m getting skunked on the futures tour. My guy is rated 30 and I’m playing guys who are 60+. I’m lucky to score a single point most matches. Thoughts?? Overall, the game looks ok (series x). I’ve played a ton of tennis games over the years. I lik...

Re: Is it the pandemic or ...

PUBG, in particular, was a real, uh, 'game changer' (pun semi-intended). I also think games like GTA and No Man's Sky have made real innovations in the way they evolved their games in the "community space" over many YEARS.

I got the Jackie Robinson Digital Deluxe version. 4 day early release.
It looks like the only difference with the versions are some kind of ‘ultimate team-ish” card packs, right (I’ve never played The Show before).

Re: MLB The Show 21

What version are you getting? Looks like there's 5 (?) different flavors for pre-order.
