Honus Wagner definitely feels like the easiest of the hitter programs so far, considering that I finished it inside of a day. Not having a bunch of pain in the rear end multi-game moments helps, too.

One of the things that still bugs me after years of it is the weird insistence on only going "off the scale" for certain stats on the legends. Like, I get that when you're trying to scale the stamina of someone like Walter Johnson against a present-day pitching environment, or Ty Cobb's contact, when your rating system considers a 99 to be "the best" of the current era, okay, maybe you have to go higher than that sometimes. But then you have Rickey Henderson, who somehow has "only" 99 speed and stealing, instead of about 140 or whatever you would expect for a player so superlatively good at a particular aspect of the game. Don't get me started on stuff like the prospect ratings... three different Dylan Carlson cards, all with different stats, 99 overall Jo Adell who's played less than a month in AAA, literally everything about Brusdar Graterol... it's just a shitshow. Ratings inflation is a problem in every sports video game, obviously, but I play MLB The Show the most, so it's what I'm most familiar with. Unfortunately we aren't going back to the days of NHLPA 93 with 1 overall Shawn Chambers any time soon. Moe_Rahn fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Jul 3, 2020 |

TheFlyingLlama posted:depends on the card, and the standards seem incredibly weird. 1999 chipper jones gets SS as a secondary position off the 1 inning he played there that season, but the SS Gary Sheffield was a primary SS his first 2 seasons and he doesn't get it.

My first name is only in the game as a last name (although there's a first name that's off by one letter), and there's only an alternate pronunciation of my last name. So every time the announcers say my guy's name, it makes it seem like they're reading it for the first time ever without preparing, and getting it wrong. Still beats the NHL series, which only has my middle name as a commentary option.
