Just played one of those toxic losers. Bunting with players like Bellinger which is laughable, holding R2, replay first HR, yada yada.
I settle down after getting annoyed the first few innings and just started crushing him. He was total trash and only hit 2 HR both on pitches that just got grooved down the middle when they shouldn’t have. I’m up 13-3 in the bottom 8th with 2 outs.
He lets his 3 minute+ timer go all the way down to zero. The screen pops up to forfeit their game, but the words on the screen are totally scrambled like it was two messages on top of each other. I hit Square and of course he magically tricked me into a Friendly. Then he messages me bragging about it.
How can I report this guy. Waste 45-60 mins of
Peoples time to exploit something in the game that SDS NEEDS to address and make impossible to happen. Very annoying.Then to top it off I start a new game and get a Network error in the top of the 1st and take an L. Awesome. ‘21 can’t come soon enough!
This is why I continue to hate online play

I played 2 bunt with power hitter turds the other day and since it was an event I just quit. No stats for you abs no frustration for me . I’d rather lose an event than deal with that garbage
-
I get the whole bunting with Ty Cobb, but I’d rather swing with him because he hits a lot of home runs.
-
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve met this player. He/she is all over mlb the show. Bunt dance, bunt, steal, replay, and then forfeit time glitch. Then if all else fails they quit.
These are ppl that can’t accept losing.

Regardless of what the jumbled words say, the icon for the square isn't a trapezoid or infinity symbol.
What exactly are you trying to say? If someone walks away or just decides to Let their timer expire instead of quitting, a message pops up and says something along the lines of accepting the forfeit press “SQUARE” or you can choose to wait longer.
What does this have to do with trapezoid or infinity symbol?
I was trolling the OP that claimed they fell for it because they couldn't make out the jumbled words. This entire discussion is meh.
Yea well I am the OP. First year playing DD and I’ve played roughly a million hours of it this year and this is the first time I’ve ever had this happen and I was rightfully annoyed and ranting about it. EVERY single other time someone has let the counter go to 0:00 and I clicked SQUARE they were forfeited until this nonsense last night.
I’m sorry if my topic doesn’t excite you. I feel like it’s something that should be discussed, should be addressed by SDS so losers can’t exploit it and maybe reading about it will help someone else from getting cheated out of a win.
Really? Because I’ve had about 40 people this year alone try to run the timer and throw a friendly to try and trick me and it’s worked zero times. This has been a thing for years.
It’s not an exploit - it’s a cheap way of catching you not paying attention.

Ah yeah those are the worst. Let me say one thing about bunting with Bellinger tho; I used to think this is cheesy and lame as well but I changed my mind on this. You see, 9 out of 10 players in this community have the auto shift turned on because it's on by default. That's lazy and a bailout tactic handed to them by the devs (not a shift in general, but the fact that's is on automatically instead of manually by default).
So with lefty bats who have a shift based on their pull tendency, I pull the ball into the shift so often that's its basically a free out most of the time. Bellinger fits this category. So I started to try and bunt towards 3B to get on base and see if my opponent actually adjusts to it by taking off the shift. If they do, I will swing the bat and no longer get out because of the shift. If they don't, I will bunt against the shift and I'll continue to do so until my opponent makes adjustments. Funnily enough, some players never take the shift off once in a 9 inning game while I'm having a field day bunting against it. Is that me being lame or them being stubborn and dumb?
I turned auto-shift back on because I got sick of all the up the middle hits I was giving up yet always getting ground outs when I was the one hitting. It wore me down. I also don't think it's cheese to just bunt normally because that's baseball. But, people should also know you can bring your second baseman in to the grass and you'll be able to throw out the runner if they bunt it to 2b.

Yes, like I said every single other player that allowed the timer to go down to 0:00, the prompt came up, I hit SQUARE and they were forfeited. I also wouldn’t say it’s a “not paying attention” thing when the words on the screen were all jumbled up like the game was glitching out. If it had clearly come up with the Friendly Quit message and I clicked it not paying attention than that would be on me, even though it still is a joke that losers do it and that the game utilizes the same button for both actions.

Auto shift was implemented to try and save people time, I can only imagine the complaints if people had to wait for someone to adjust their defence every pitch or every time an “edgy man child” bunt dances.

Eh it's literally a matter of seconds if you know what you're doing and you can set it for the entirety of the game for certain players. But that's the problem, most people don't know what they're doing. So yeah, skill gap please thanks.

I know it takes a matter of seconds, but a lot of new players or more casual players don’t. I don’t necessarily know if thats a skill gap or just a lack of communication and knowledge about that particular feature. I stopped playing ‘20 in May, the last few games I played having auto shift on or not didn’t matter because it was pretty much HR or bust.

This is the show equivalent of the hidden ball trick. Gotta blame yourself for napping.
