Who do you guys usually play against for CPU? I normally switch between Detroit, Oakland and Colorado. Was just curious who you like to match up against!
Mile High Colorado
Only really go up against the Yankees in conquest but they would actually be good to play against because they have such a slow outfield. I love hitting the ball toward Stanton and watching him take 2 seconds to react
I start with Baltimore and end at San Francisco. Then I start over again.
White Sox
I always play the Reds or the Pirates.
Baltimore…I’m just lazy.
I always go to the Marlins because I like beating their ass since they suck so bad this szn 😕😕
Fuck Lucas erceg. All I’m gonna say is
gotta be away vs rockies to get as many ab’s as possible in coors.
A’s, Yankees, and Rockies
Nationals at max elevation custom field lol
joey gallo always destroys me, only national that does anything to me when I play vs nationals at max elevation
Where can you see the field elevations at?
This is the way
I've been playing the Reds' 24 schedule to keep things mixed up, it's nice to see different teams and stadiums instead of doing what I used to and clobbering Homers at Coors
I rotate White Sox, royals, pirates, tigers, rockies, a's, nats.
I do Rockies custom stadium but I swear this game feels rigged at times, legit will get 10 runs 15 hits by second inning and then legit will score 5 total runs for the rest of the game
What part of that is rigged
The Cardinals for some reason the As always hit nukes on my dots and their pitchers throw annoying stuff. cards pitchers drop balls down the middle like mad and the gold cards genuinely cant hit
Does anyone else hate playing the A’s the ball gets lost on its way to the plate because of the sun. Maybe I just suck 🤣
Nah dude I get you, the sun in the strike zone legit turns the ball invisible it’s annoying 😂
Rockies on a stupid short fence high altitude custom stadium.
Why Detroit who has good pitching
rockies at shield woods
White Sox
White Sox typically give you a bunch of commons to take BP against lmao
A's and Red Sox
Ok, so for whatever reason the A’s lineup absolutely lights me up, even when I bump down the difficulty. I don’t get it. No matter who I pitch, the cpu for the A’s figures me tf out and finds a way to string together some hits and runs, and occasionally a few bombs. There are few things more humbling than either losing to or barely beating the A’s on rookie.
One thing I’ve noticed beating up on the A’s is they have several hitters who absolutely don’t swing at balls. They end up running up counts on me a lot
White Sox, Rockies, or Pirates. I've had multiple 60+ run games against the White Sox. And I've even had a game where I put up 71 runs.
Jesus Christ. I'm really happy if I put up 25
You gotta find the right ballpark: high elevation, short distances to the outfield wall. I average about 30-35 per 9 innings on rookie, my best was 81-0 lol.
Can you use custom?
Yes- I actually made my own. It’s called “bowieville” if you want to try it out.
Thanks. Using it now.
How did it work out for you?
I like it! Been putting up at least 35 a game. Record is 49 so far.
Love to hear it!
It’s so unfortunate that SDS changed the way team affinity works for Season 1.3. We used to be able to just play vs cpu and knock it out in a couple days. Although it’s still possible (because the challenges are repeatable)- it’d just take a bit longer due to lowered xp rewards.
Sometimes I quit when I know I hit a milestone but I usually play all 9
I'm happy with 10
Washington nats
White Sox and Arizona
On the road, it used to be the Rockies without blinking. However, with Doyle and his damn top speed and top fielding attributes patrolling CF and gobbling up tons of baseballs, I pause before selecting them.
At least one person realises the Rockies are a threat every twenty games or so
White Sox, Nats or Rockies
Houston
Colorado
Marlins and the Phillies as online coop people LOVE the Phillies and I hate pitching to Bryce Harper. Gotta get better tho
Whoever is on the schedule for my franchise mode.
Rockies at Costco
Whoever is first in my rotation.
Normally it would be Colorado and Chicago WS. Both teams seemed to be really on their game the past 3 days. Good job by the manger to get them going in such an important weekend of play.
Nationals; I beat up on their pitching and love striking out Joey Gallo four times a game.
Joey gallo is brutal to pitch to.
The cardinals. They’re easy to beat up on but with the threat to actually do something. They never play Jordan Walker. They start Crawford at short and Wynn at DH. lol.
A's at Shield Woods 
Used to be Oakland. Nowadays White Sox
I love playing in Chicago at night its a beautiful stadium with the colored lights
Not my chicago 😭. We're doing pretty horrible this year.
Rockies but, I swear to God, freaking Charlie Blackmon still manages to go 4 for 5 against me every game on Rookie. And don’t even think about trying to take an extra base against Nolan Jones.
Agreed, CPU Blackmon is a beast.
Charlie Blackmon is the GOAT of the MLB series for some reason. I’d rather intentionally walk him with the bases loaded than give up the auto-grand slam.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Him and Bobby Witt on Rookie always seem to hit random NUKES
Brooooo same!!! He murders any of my pitchers lol
Nolan Jones hosed my Bobby Whitt lighting card when I tried to score from first on a ball in the corner 😭
Honestly, I just play against who my real MLB team is playing in real life that day, lol. Also helps me catch up with the general roster make up of a team if I'm going to watch the game but aren't familiar with their players
A's at Costco ftw
I’ve done unspeakable things to the Chicago White Sox this year…
same. it made me ashamed as a White Sox fan to pitch a perfect game and put up 25 hits and 21 runs against them last week
Rockies because they're terrible and the elevation
Always Rockies, white Sox to change things up sometimes, I try to avoid the submarine pitcher he always cooks me
Year in and year out, the Rockies take an absolute beating from my team. Plus the ball flies out at Coors.
I always destroy the Rockies lol
Rockies. I like playing at Coors. Although they seem to consistently break up my potential perfect games in the last 3 innings with a 500ft solo HR out of nowhere, so that’s kind of annoying lol.
Nationals A’s and tigers or Rockies
I really like the nationals, their pitching is very easy to hit
Yeah this is true, but Josiah grey sometimes throws my hitting off with his pitching style sometimes
The Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas Athletics, in The Sandlot.
Colorado solely for Coors Field.
Why not Costco?
I just don't like the field but also I want 9 innings to hit not 8. I assume I'd need to be home team to get costco.
Rockies, Pirates, and White Sox.
Sometimes against Rockies, usually against Detroit though with their fifth starter Casey Mize, I destroy him, they trot a lot of righties out their pen also… I don’t play as well against Oakland for some reason
I take the White Sox to Costco. Poor Prelander Berroa takes a beating.
He may never recover from the beat downs I handed him at Costco this weekend.
I think he may have been crying after Stargell took him yard three times in an hour.
Mariner legend
Dude does not stand a chance with his like 58 OVR.
Plus, he just chucks it right down the middle. Is it Willie Stargell's fault for not hitting it 500 feet?
Rockies since 19
