I love Chipper, but if you put him next to the guy from Metallica, there's no way I'd guess who's who.

Do former Yankees just love making stupid descicions in every state, or just Florida?

Kakes had a great career. When he first came to Atlanta, I did not think I'd be this sad about him leaving. Definitely could have gotten 3k in a just world.

Should have re-signed Duvall

It's super weird no one signed him for so long. Duvall is great! If he had been healthy for the NLCS, the Braves would have won the world series.

If any of youse guys like OOTP, (I know you do, Bewbies), OOTP22 is looking pretty cool. Individual players have a lot more slider settings, like you can select a pitcher and now he has his own individual slider for "pitch around", and everything else.

The new ballparks look gorgeous, they have made some improvements on the 3D animations, and there is some new offshoot of Perfect Team called Perfect Draft that we still don't know the details on.

Oh, this sounds awesome. I'll probably pick it up when it comes out.

20 owns for sure. They haven't really been able to do much with franchise in the past... forever, but the career mode is fun and doesn't have the cheesey story mode stuff really.

Video game nonsense update: The new career mode in The Show 21 sounds kinda weird, for those interested. They let you be a two way player, and try to give you a narrative for your player through pre-recorded podcast episodes. Really not a fan of the character progression changes, though. It sounds more frustrating and limiting.

The devs philosophy wrt RTTS has been weird for a while now. Starting with 18 you're basically forced to be a middle round pick at best, and the cap/archetype system makes it really tedious to make a player that doesn't conform to a traditional mold. Now 21 makes it seem like it's even more restrictive, with hard limits on how much you can load your player up. It also kinda sounds like you can only have one RTTS character now instead of a bunch because they want them to be usable in DD, which loving sucks because I loved making a random assortment of weidos.

Like nobody is playing RTTS to be a scrappy middle round .250/.320/.430 utility IF, they're playing it to either gently caress around with unothodox characters or to enjoy a power fantasy of hitting .400 with 70 HR's while playing GG SS.

Honestly, the custom character stuff in Diamond Dynasty always sucks. I don't know why they'd merge it with RTTS when most people just want it completely gone from the mode. Seems like a lose lose.

Moving the ASG out of Atlanta would probably piss off a ton of Braves fans, and I'm all for it.

Does anyone actually care about the ASG these days though?

Probably not, but it's 'bringing politics into sports' and being vaguely leftist in any way. My dad didn't even watch baseball last year because he remembered there's a players union due to The Thing and he didn't like that. Didn't even watch when we got to the NLCS for the first time in twenty years.

I'm super stoked, I think this is a good team with a high ceiling but I mostly just wanna fill a ton of time with baseball.

Interesting non-news I hadn't actually heard until today: Atlanta had agreed to a $9m deal with Kirby Yates early in the winter, but he failed the physical.

I am excited, but terrified. Worried we'll try to rush back Soroka.

Can't even jokingly refer to him as 'Mariners Legend James Paxton' for having that happen on a one year contract because he's pitched for them before. This really sucks, I hope he recovers well.

The Show is like the least micro transaction heavy major sports game. Like it's there if you want, but they literally give you so much free stuff and so much poo poo to do to unlock more free stuff that it seems like paying would make the game less fun.
