Did SDS do a major overall on game mechanics?

Why isn't Mike Trout putting his glove up for a pop fly? Why is Shane Victorino not putting his glove DOWN for balls rolling right to him.
Why do my swim moves on slides no longer swim how they used to? Why do they always just go feet or head first, without going left/right of the bag?
Why am I an 1100 player in each of the last 3 years, but can't break 800 now? Why have I supported this game for 15 years only for this year to be the trashiest it's been since I can remember?
What incentive do I have to continue to support this game? It's unplayable in DD right now, and if I wanted a franchise sim there's plenty of cheaper options.
Do you have fiber?

I've said it about a hundred times around here, but if you go watch the pre release dev tourney or ANY streams from week 1 early release you'll see that we're not playing the same game. The hit varieties during pre release we're great compared to what you see now.
My question is why change everything just 2 days after national release? Was that the plan the whole time. Have great reviews from pre release then pull the rug out from under everybody. Hitting had never been greater.
I would hate to create something over 8 or 9 months like these devs did at release and then change it all just like that.

You have to hold the stick to the left or right for the hook slide. Works everytime.

@D_e_m_I_s_E I do have fiber, and PS4 Pro, and a BenQ gaming monitor. I'm hardwired into the fiber. This game is all I play on the PS4 but I do everything I can to make sure that when a negative result happens, it's my fault and not my techs.

My CAP is a LF with 99 speed and 94 fielding. He had a liner bounce right off his chest yesterday - opponent didn’t even score, his runner was running back to 3rd in anticipation of the routine catch.

You can control PS and SDS connection issues. I have 100+ mbs up and down with 3ms ping. Sometimes I check my speeds through network in settings and i get 30 down and 3 up(just an estimate/ it fluctuates when they are overloaded)

No but I can control the connection issues between my router and my PS4

This all we can do. After that we're in their world.

I think you also have to press L1 AND toggle direction for slides now.

Yeah I have issues Every. Single. Game.
I know that sounds hyperbolic. It really isn't. I can guarantee you one of my outfielders will either let a fly ball land right next to / in front of them after they've been sitting under it for an hour or so, or there will be a grounder through the infield, and then through the outfield because my fielder will make no effort to bend down and pick it up.
I've had issues getting my baserunners to slide this entire year. They will not slide left/right of the bag anymore
I had the same problem two times now, the first time I deleted my saved game settings and it worked for a little while. The second time I deleted the whole game and reinstalled it and it’s been fine since for that issue. I then had my catcher meter no longer showing up on stolen base attempts. I then deleted and went back to the same settings and that fixed it as well. Do what I did and it will fix your problem. Even though we’ve never had to do this in any year of the game.

Really? I've just been doing the stick and sometimes it seems to work and others they don't. A lot of it was done offline too, if I'm doing moments that call for extra base hits and I hit a single I'll just send it and hope to juke them out. I don't think it's worked yet (maybe once) but sometimes they do at least go the direction I want.

Yeah, they changed it this year.

Figured you had fiber with your issues. I think super good internet is a huge detriment in this game. It is not the yours or the techs fault. IMO, it is coded so everyone with poor to mediocre internet can play the game smooth while the people with really good and really really bad suffer. I made a list of connection type issues in another thread. You would probably recognize all of them and pretty frequently.

Thanks. I was wondering why it never worked.
My catcher throwing meter is m.i.a. as well. -

He doesn't understand that RS world is completely different than CPU world. Especially when it comes to the type of complaints about this game are pretty much related to RS gameplay which CPU players will never really feel.
He only plays CPU and claims Events games which is still not the same considering its 6 inning game with quick counts, and limits players to silver, bronze, and common level. So just as an example, he'll never experience if he had a Trout in CF or any diamond defensive player making an error vs. common level player making an error which might be more acceptable, i.e., common player makes error = player is trash vs. Trout or diamond player makes error = game is trash.

SDS programmers need to do the right thing and just resign.
