With perhaps 3 pitches from the mound to make sure there are no mound issues? I know this is where desire to shorten games comes into conflict with existing commercial time, but is it really necessary to have a full 2 mins 30 seconds for on-mound warmup?

Bringing back bullpen carts for every team and changing this rule could shave another 6-10 minutes off the average game I’d guess. Might require managers to start warmups slightly earlier but that just adds to the strategy imo.

If so, is there any way to see popularity in game?

Are there any settings I could try to draw walks? Love most everything about this game—gives me a retro feel while still being fairly realistic with this one exception. I’ve yet to see ball 4 in 4 games, and I’m taking pitches to the point of double digit strikeouts.

If I bump up the difficulty more will they be less in the zone?

I was in SAVE. My payment for August is still $0 with Mohela. I’ll cross 120 months in October. If, by some miracle, I haven’t been moved to a new plan by then, would my buyback be based on the $0 I’ve been paying since COVID times?

My payment should be something close to $1000/month, so praying this is the case lol.

I’m intrigued by this game, but it seems from some of the vids I’ve seen that each game would take quite a long time—maybe longer than The Show?

I’m someone who’s really only into franchise mode, and I ask because seasons become a grind if each game takes ~1 hour.

My only racing memory that predates the 1998 Daytona 500 was the last race at North Wilkesboro. I remember the family members I was watching with saying it was the end of an era, but of course I didn’t appreciate it at the time.

The interceding decades showed that it truly was the beginning of the end of something. And while I was an avid fan until about 2017 when the stages were implemented, it definitely felt like the sport was gradually losing its soul.

I stepped away with the stages, and started watching IndyCar and F1 for “”purer” racing. But when I heard that Dale Jr and others were actually bringing this track back, I became intrigued. And when they announced a points race, I knew I had to come.

I’ve watched every race this year for the first time in seven years. It truly feels like coming home. NASCAR needs to be racing around backgrounds where Junior Johnson and others moonshiners honed their craft. And I’ll be going to the N Wilkesboro races this weekend.

Apologies for the overly nostalgic post, but I do feel like the importance of this weekend is being underplayed a bit.

Fewer QBs with 50TDs, more 1,000 yard rushers, nobody with 30 sacks etc.

I'm doing a career starting in 1993, and want to track existing career stats for drivers racing before that season going forward. I tried to use AI to help me with this, but it insists on making up numbers lol. So all I've found to do is manually paste every driver's career stats into Excel from racingreference, and subtract the post-1992 years from them. Has anyone done this/is there a shortcut or program that will do this for me?

Like, could we have it in a 0-0 game in the first inning if the catcher ignores a steal?

DM me if interested.

1 for $200 or both for $380. Sec 314 row J

DM if interested!

The whole point of pitchcom was to prevent sign stealing. It seems to me if pitching coaches are physically calling pitches from the dugout (because they don’t have the pitchcom, right?), we’re back to where other teams could see them, perhaps even easier than when the catcher was doing it?

I know cautions breed cautions, but once the first one falls here I can seemingly never get another green lap in. I’ve tried my usual fixes of decreasing the wall offset (10) and increasing the drafting distance (1.8 I think) but to no avail.

I did up the pit road speed to 45MPH to limit the issue even in the base version of cars getting lapped while pitting. I don’t think that’s the issue but mentioning in case it could be.

One roadblock I always have in this game is the absurdity of seemingly needing to build a second power plant between 2,000 and 3,000 residents. I’ve tried upping the budget which helps a bit, but doesn’t delay things too long. I’ve also tried the Energy Saver policy.

These power plants are super expensive, I use up all my $ from the milestone reward, and things tend to spiral out of control from there.

Am I doing something wrong? Usually use the baseline coal power plant. I’ve tried supplementing with wind but doesn’t seem to be enough bang for the buck.

Hi all,

I'm curious about which of the earlier titles has the most mods, or most complete mods available. I'd love to do my own "career" mode within one game, using the cars and tracks for each season. I'm aware of F1 Challenge, but for some reason it doesn't run well on my computer even though much newer games run well.

It seems like F1 14 has a lot of content on Overtake, but unsure if it's the best option.

Quite a few pitchers have gone to Japan and come back as better pitchers. Miles Mikolas, Colin Rea and Foster Griffin are somewhat current examples.

It seems to be they learn to deemphasize velocity, learn better pitch mix and working the edges (someone correct me if this is wrong).

I understand the focus is on velocity these days, but wouldn’t it make sense to teach these skills in the American minors rather than making them learn overseas and wasting some of their best years? Heck, bring in Japanese coaches if needed.
