    When an early swing without touching the ball with the pci can be a HR and 20 good timed swings dotted inside the pci can be outs it not really skill. Just a casual game. The only skill really comes down to whether a fastball zooms by with your connection or not and not swinging at low pitches out the zone unless they allow you to foul them off 10 times in a row.

    I don’t know about DDA. But it’s definitely best to take it as a casual experience and hope your connection allows to see the fastballs.

    This game has been downhill for awhile now gameplay wise

    They say input matters more than ever, but good timing and in the pci is a fly out or lineout more often than a hit. Very early and very late almost seems to get more hits in some games. I also love when perfect perfects go foul, sometimes they change the feedback to just early, but I have had some where they still say perfect and it goes foul.

    That's RNG for you. It's like playing Xcom some days.

    Uh oh. You gonna make the sds apologists mad that you even suggest DDA. Ive noted a few times on here that DDA is a actual thing, and makes for Modes like DD, muT, and Fut thrive. They release these new cards all the time, and that makes Johnny thinks if spend such and such real money the latest and greatest card will prevent him from losing which we know it won't.

    I'll believe in DDA when mercy rules in this game cease to exist. If DDA was truly a think mercy rules would simply not happen ever. 90% of the "this game has DDA" posts are made by a player that left his pitcher in to long or brought in a scrub reliever and lost in the late innings. There just isn't enough proof that it exists. Anyway doesn't EA have a patent on the entire concept of DDA?

    There's 100% dda in this game. They can deny it all they want but all you have to do is watch the game and pay attention. I can usually tell whether a play will be made when it is hit depending on the score. For instance, a ball in the hole at SS. If you are winning, 9/10 times that runner will be safe. If losing, the SS will get the quick throw animation. No different than the dribbler on the infield or a thousand other scenarios. This is why when you are in the lead, you take no chances on the bases and have to make sure your guy will 100% make it. You have to factor that the relay will be very quick.

    Do you know how there are mercy rules? Because people leave their pitchers in too long and that trumps any DDA. Do mound visits and switch pitchers and the chances of you being mercied are extremely rare. The game will help you out if you are losing and give you chances.

    I must be f* terrible at the game if I’m 23-3 with two disconnect losses. DDA must always be in my favour right?

    You have no clue how that works. You being 23-3 has nothing to do with it. I was 23-3 at one point too. The game is going to give your opponent some favorable things if they are losing unless they keep their pitchers in too long. It is why when you are up 5 that your opponent gets those dribblers. Can you then make the pitches to get out of it? If so, that is how you have a good record. It is also why people do collections so fast. It is easier to hit with 99 Chipper than 88 Gallo, therefore you have a better chance of overcoming any bs the computer might throw your way.

    I can give you instances of DDA in EVERY game. The better player will overcome it most of the time.

    So Madden doesn't program in fumbles when you are about to go ahead 21-0? I'll give you more examples. Ball to the gap. Your 99 speed outfielder physically slows down when you are in the lead and the ball drops. However, if you are behind he speeds up and makes the catch. Are you saying you have never seen players speed up or slow down. If so you are not only naive but blind. You may want to get your eyes checked. It happens all the time.

    I don’t think there is DDA but I do believe there is RNG that at times can feel like it’s against you. I personally think pitcher confidence needs a nerf both ways. When it’s high it is too powerful. When it’s low it’s too powerful.

    There is DDA in madden. I'll give you that. Because EA has a patent on the concept. Just seems strange to me that the person that thinks McDonalds wifi or a phone hotspot helps you out in this game more that a good internet connection thinks that outfielders speeding up is DDA and not connection based

    No skill is need for this game brotha. The sooner we figure it out the less stress we will be. Just played two event games. Was leading by 2 and 3 and lost both in the last inning off ridiculous HRs. I’m about to play Lego Avengers

    This is a bad reference.... all SDS has to do is manipulate sliders and that's easy. There is definitely some weird scenarios in this game where you can get perfect perfect outs all game and watch your opponent smash early good hits in the same game.

    I'm terrible at this game and I always end up with a terrible record, so if there's DDA or RNG or whatever then the devs clearly have a personal grudge against me because I never seem to benefit. SDS, why do you hate me so much?
