The game has become way to random. Dudes hitting balls off the end up the bat way outside, that manage to dribble up the middle. fielding has gotten worse. Pitching makes no sense, if I aim outside, low or high off the plate, with good release, why are pitches turning into meatballs? It’s infuriating

I’ll be down for a friendly

I actually love the pure analog pitching. It’s one of the best features in any sports game out there. If anybody out there is playing this game and isn’t using pure analog pitching, Phewf!! You must at least give it a fair chance to win you over. No location is off limits with any pitch, some spots can be super hard to time making them not worth the risk of even trying it. Pure analog pitching gives the user 100% control of their result. Executing is the other step. To make sure you don’t hang a curveball, or something off speed below the zone, be certain that if you make absolute certain that your Pitching Line gets passed your bar to make sure the ball misses below the zone if it misses... rather than trying to be perfect with every pitch and missing the wrong pitches in the wrong spots. You control your misses. If you release before the bar then your pitch is going to be high, below the bar and it will be low. This is assuming that on your follow through you don’t do something bananas. Same goes with the red circle. If you miss left of it your pitch will miss left, and vise-versa. Missing both targets can lead to some lesser than ideal results... but that should be expected by anyone breathing.

You are completely wrong about you controlling your misses. Instead of playing the CPU, play DD RS, and you'll begin experiencing this immediately.

Anyone hopping to see him return to DD again anytime soon should not hold their breath

Heidi Watney will interview a fan named Charles sitting in the Center field seats about zoom lenses during the 7th inning stretch. Book it.

If she's at the stadium the purpose behind that zoom lense might be far more sinister than stealing signs, just sayin' 🙂

You can turn it off under settings. Tab over to general and select strike zone off.

I think we will see they same as the first event with LS silver and below eligible

Yeah that’s a good point. I don’t necessarily think every person needed a signature series though. But then again, they brought a lot of diversity so I don’t know!

Why not?

Last year, I realized that I had no chance of acquiring any end game cards. I basically quit the game in May with only 50 hours played. This year I have over 500 hours played and I am still playing in January, which is the latest I have continued to play the game by a LARGE margin. Why am I still playing? Because I have two teams full of Signature players that I enjoy using.

For many people, like those who only play offline or those who are not very good at online play, 300 program points every inning was a grind. Early innings especially did not give enough points so grinding extra games for points was a thing.

I'd be fine of they brought back the My Career type missions but I don't ever again want to be forced to replace a player that I want in my lineup with some bronze or silver card I could not care less about simple to grind some stat.

I see your point and it’s a good one. Like I said I could see both sides. I just feel that they made sooooo many SS cards and they were all really good that no one really felt special. Obviously the players I loved growing up felt special but that’s just to me. It’s tough to appease everyone. Some want tons and tons of high rated cards. Some are willing to put in more time for cards while others aren’t. I totally get that and every one should get the chance to play how they want. This year compared to last our play numbers are Pretty opposite lol. I played way more in 18.

Fingers crossed they find a happy medium!

Button accuracy

..or even if the "List on Marketplace" option would take me to a screen where I can see his values before determining what value to put myself, that'd be greatly helpful.

It has sometimes to do with the shifting of the north pole magnetic field.
