The main theme for me in this entire thread is human beings attaching value, and sometimes even self-worth, to their success in a video game. It’s not necessarily sad, but it’s indicative of a bigger picture in which the importance of your online record or your reputation as a “good video game player” can get carried away. The game (and any video game) seems like it’s a better investment for someone who can play it for fun without it impacting their mood or self-worth.
I quit out of over 200 games last year. I could not see the ball, react or recognize pitches when I got in the 800's this year or last year for that matter. I quit out of like 12 straight games to do dailies using silver pitchers and such. I reached 800 again and the same thing happened. I had 19 strikeouts because the pitch speed looked like 120 mph. Game is zero fun when this happens. You really think I care about my record? I call it like I see it. BTW - I won that 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?
Has nothing to with hating you. You simply are not good enough to make the plays when they are presented to you. It is probably why you get beat by 5 instead of being mercied.
So with or without DDA, the better player gets a decisive win. I'm not seeing the downside.

I just had a thought after having a game that I think many would say DDA played a role in...
I think there is a strong correlation of guys who feel DDA is in the game and those who play games as the away team. Just a couple notes from my last game:
I had 18 hard hit balls in the feedback...with 5 hits. My opponent had 7 hard hit balls...7 hits. I had 4 P/P swings...and two were foul. He had 1....it was a hit. My other 2 were hits. The PCI feedback for us both was so incredibly different. Any person would be like yea....that old guy WashedND was clearly the better player. He out hit me but I fortunately got the W. I was up 6-1 and he tied it 6-6. HR in the 9th and shut door in bottom of 9. It may have just been the connection, we were playing in Coors.

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.
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.
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?
All star hero here
Lol right buddy. I wasn’t gloating, just making a point. If it makes you feel better, I’m sitting right around 850
Sure you are
Why would I lie? You can easily check it out. Pretty brave coming from someone who can’t even hack it in Allstar with your pathetic record and BA
Lol. This isn't about me son. And I stay up nights thinking about my record and BA in a baseball game. Stfu

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?
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.
Ironically leaving pitchers in too long is what prompts most of these DDA posts in the first place. You really think SDS has the ability to program defensive animations to favor/go against people based on situation? You are giving them too much credit if that's the case. They haven't gotten catcher fielding right in the entire history of this game being online. You thinking they have the capability of programming DDA is laughable
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.
Idk what DDA is but this thread nails exactly what I’ve been saying. Just posted this on another thread-
Where are you playing most of your games? There are plenty of pitcher’s parks to choose from. It makes a huge difference. The real issue in the game is inconsistent gameplay such as the game overcompensating in order to keep games close as well as huge momentum boosts. I understand there are momentum swings in real life as well but it’s not like a player swinging a hot bat has any actual advantage. In the game we get constantly changing PCI which leads to very inconsistent results as it relates to user input. It makes no sense to me why one inning PCI input results in an IF pop up but the next the exact same input results in a home run simply bc I might be down a few runs or the pitcher is beginning to tire. Fielding is just as bad as guys will start making errors on routine grounders or they’ll look like they’re suddenly moving in slow motion and not able to track down a routine fly ball (this is something I noticed a lot more last year). Infielders suddenly taking forever to get rid of the ball and guys beating out grounders is another common example. These types of dramatic swings in gameplay just make the game feel rigged, I can’t be the only one who feels this way.
I believe there are MANY others that feel this way. All of what you have said supports the idea of scripting. This is the easiest type of coding for low talent help. This game is basically a license to rob kids. I have played every iteration since 15. It’s always the same nonsense but different excuses; this is why the game always plays the same from beginning of the season until the end. Baseball is unpredictable, thus, if you make a game that plays very inconsistently all year long you can say it plays just like real baseball. Good job SDS you have yet again created an inconsistent mess. -

Youtubers make this game not even worth playing online. Saw a video last night of a zoom in trick (on strike zone cam) that makes hitting unstoppable.
zoom in trick? you mean using the strike zone camera? I hate being that close, cant stand it
-
I experienced this last night in a RS game.
I went 7 innings pitching a no-hitter with my ballplayer pitcher from RTTS - his first appearance in DD RS.
However I still suck at batting, so I only had 4 hits and just 1 run.I decided to pitch hit for my pitcher in top of the 8th because I was only up by 1 and wanted to get on base - my ballplayer has [censored] batting skills.
I ended up not scoring any more.So here we go, bottom of 8th, I bring in Dibble.
Strike out the first 2 batters.
3rd guy comes. hits a chip shot to right field for first hit of game.
Next batter strike out inning over.Top of 9th, i do nothing.
Bottom of 9th.
I bring in my closer.
Strike out first 2 batters.
3rd batter steps up, now suddenly I can't throw a pitch to save my life.
I have full energy and full confidence.
I am using PinPoint and doing perfect releases.
Wild pitch, wild pitch, ball, ball - walk him on 4 pitches. WTF
Next batter, strike 1, strike 2, wild pitch
On this wild pitch my catcher decided he was just going to sit there and watch.
Runner of first goes to second... catcher still not moving.
Runner heads for 3rd, catcher comes alive, grabs ball throws to 3rd.
Albert Pujos is on 3rd, he has been making plays all game... he drops the ball and runner is safe on 3rd!So now, I am up by 1.
Bottom of 9th
Last batter, 2 strikes 1 ball
If he gets a hit, its a tie game. If he hits HR, I'll lose walk off style.I go to pitch and hey, everything is back to normal, i put just off the plate but he doesn't swing 2 ball and 2 strikes.
But I feel like the DDA is off now - I slam a 104 MPH fast ball right past him for the strike out and win.Bottom line, I feel like the game let him get a runner on 3rd to make the ending exciting.

One possibility that nobody seems to like is that your opponent, who couldn’t hit his way out of a paper bag for most of the game, actually starts to make adjustments and better swings.
It happens.
Similarly, your pitching sequences might not be as bulletproof as you thought. Nobody likes to admit their opponent figured them out.

Lmao exactly... there are so many factors. People forget they are playing ranked and are playing ppl of a similar skill level so their opponents aren’t completely inferior to you. People leave in pitchers too long if they are dominating and then stamina becomes an issue if the pitch count is too high. Everyone gets so mad about weak/late hits but seem to forget that it also benefits them too. I’m guilty of it as well but when it happens you just have to take a step back and realize hey that’s baseball lol

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
I did not believe that hotspot "hypothesis" either, but I am a believer now. Last year my 400gbps internet went out and had to switch to my phone's < 3gbps hotspot and actually saw the ball better and the feedback was usually more accurate. I actually went 14-1 in a HOF Event (my personal best) a couple of years ago at my family's home one summer, when their internet speed was as bad as dial-up quality.... I could give a couple of more examples of this, and while I do not know why the hotspot or a slower internet connection speed seems to work better sometimes, after having to experience it myself, I second his hypothesis.

lol no, but here is my guess of why he may be correct:
A P2P connection will connect at the lowest upload speed, therefore, if you are the player with the slower upload speed (hotspot), your connection will determine the speed of the data transfer rate. However, if you have the superior connection, then your gaming experience may seem "slower" due to latency from your superior download speed being so much greater than the other player's inferior upload speed. Your superior connection is basically downloading the data bit by bit at an (overall rate) faster than it is being uploaded.... so a frame or two may be delayed on your end due to the upload speed of the hotspot having so much lag and being inconsistent. -
i didn’t see it in HOF and legend, but am definitely seeing it in allstar and veteran

Yep there is no skill in this game what so ever, just tell that to pitching rebel, YFK, Trumanation, or any of the guys who are top 50 every season. Guess that “DDA” is in their favor every game. Such a troll post. Gtfo with this garbage. And RNG means random and does not mean comeback logic. So if there was RNG it would be completely unbiased. What most people are actually dealing with is not any of these issues, it’s your connection to the servers or more importantly your ping while connected to the servers. Bad ping or inconsistent ping can make the game feel like RNG, CL, or DDA. But complainers are always going to complain rather than logically reason about what is actually going on.

Lol… nice try. You don’t think that account buffs are possible to make streamers look good? Don’t kid yourself. Take a look at showdowns with the perk cards. Clearly they can code buffs into the game however they want. Skill doesn’t matter in this game. Skill can’t combat the constant good/good or even P/P lineouts and flyouts while the opponent hits very early/weak home runs or continuous flare hits. Such a joke.
