I wish most people would take this to heart. Far too often it feels like the people (and I'm mostly referring to watching Twitch streamers), are trashing the opponent, not the game. It makes me feel uncomfortable watching. What if that person was a huge fan of theirs, and when they get matched up, they excitedly turn on the person's stream only to hear them trashing him/her.
I understand how frustrating it is to "know" you are better than your opponent and to lose, but it's not their fault.
This happened to me with quash. Lol. I tuned in all excited too. He got mad for lining out 4 times in a row and I was up 2-0 from a bloop and a blast. Starting calling me a [censored] anytime I switched pitchers or subbed in a fielder, yelling about anytime anything happened. I was just laughing bc it just happened to me in a game before lol but I wasn't entirely thrilled at how he handled the situation, felt awkward. He ended up winning. Gotta give him his credit there. 5-4.
But I agree with you both. For some reason everyone is tainted with how the last couple years of the game have gone and forgot that we're all playing the same [censored] game and we're all getting screwed the same amount in some way, shape, or form. and we're supposed to be a community around here anyways so I'm not sure how people get so hostile. (I think that's more of a cultural/society thing vs a broken game thing though)
Players might be coming around: as the season has worn on, fewer people have jumped on PSN to go bananas.

if you lose it is never the other players fault, it is most likely you or the game.

I ended up getting matched against Cbrev on the last day of last season. I was in the low 800s (first time all year) and he was at like 887. he had a no-no on me until the 7th. i finally got a hit with Jr and broke it up. earlier in the game 2 really hard hit balls ended up going right at Jr and he missed them, ended up giving up 2 runs each because of it. He said my Griffey was broken in his YT video.
i ended up quiting only after i broke up the No-no, mainly because i had an hour left till the new season started and i wanted to try to get in one more game (ended up leaving to go pick up my kids). In his YT vid he gave me props for not quiting while in the no-no, and for sticking with it as long as i did. never trashed me in his video, never said i sucked, he said he got lucky on some really hard hit balls by me. i was dreading him posting it because of how awful i played and how he would react. but he was encouraging.
moral of the story...why trash a player? everyone has bad games. it happens. I won 4 in a row this past weekend and have lost 2 since on games i feel i should have won but whatever you go and play again.

I just went 1-4, despite constantly SCORCHING the ball; they were loud outs, and my opponents got a few homers on "Early/Okay" swings.
That's not on them, they didn't cheat, and they probably have gotten similarly screwed by the hitting engine.
It seems like a lot of people only come on here to complain about getting screwed, but rarely to celebrate their walkoff on an error, bad animation, or cheap homer.
PSA: we're all going through it.
you are absolutely right mate its more the immature ppl who don't grasp your concept

I'm gonna celebrate the walk-off here for the first time! Played some cheeser. wanted to bunt dance the entire game. that doesn't bother me. i just pitch. Dude scored his only run on a single by Sandberg, then 2 steals and gets the pitcher up who lays down a perfect squeeze down 1-0. I couldn't hit anything...everything i put good contact on was a flyout to warning track or line out.
Get to top of ninth. he has like 3 hits and that 1 run. first batter he hits, next 2 guys get out, then bregman gets on with a wild pitch on a bad swing...Bellinger up next...Crushed into the RF bleachers for a Dinger. I win 3-1! Most satisfying victory i've ever had!!!

One of my losses was to a BAD player who did his damndest to abuse the rundown, bunt, and steal mechanics.
He barely swung at pitches and almost always gambled on beating the pitcher or the tag animation.
It sucked, but that's something SDS has to fix: exploits are on them.

N question the game sucks for everyone in 2018 and 2019. [censored] game for both opponents. Hilarious that SDs still lies on these forums that there is no RNG and DDA.

Um, when has SDS ever claimed there was no RNG?
-
What’s up Eatyum, quite a bit from the devs on this site. They have repeatedly stated in these forums since 2017 when players have called them out that it does not exist in there game.

They have never denied RNG bc it exists in virtually all games. They have denied DDA though, which is what people are really concerned with when they're talking about RNG and all this comeback logic stuff. ever since, I believe it was EA, published that paper on DDA and it's functions. Idk what to believe, if SDS adopted that, but it's a fun conspiracy that makes you feel better about some losses lol. And it definitely helps you feel better about the inconsistencies with both games.

Tbf, EA didn't publish it but it could be found in their patent, which is in public domain:

I wasn't entirely sure the specifics. Thank you for clarifying

This happened to me, I tuned into a twitch streamer, I was not a fan just wanted to hear him talk about out game. I beat him and then he called me trash for swiping the floor with
️ him -
Oh it’s the game. I get pissed but yet I continue to play it knowing late and early are going to be rewarded more then good timing and contact.
