This game is horrendous. I’m sick of people sticking up for SDS. Content is the only thing that has saved this game since 19. SDS is producing [censored] just like EA, because they know there isn’t a better option.
Yet you are still playing it and still complaining about it. Not a good look

The graphics, the gameplay, different modes, the different moments, all of the legends, RTTS......this game seriously has it all. Never in all of my years did I think I'd see video games come this far, and this game is the best sports game out there at the moment by a country mile.
A major pat on the back to SDS for what they have done, I hope they continue this for years to come.
You must not have tried online DD yet...lol But I will agree the graphics and animations are unbeatable.
DD is the absolute best part of this game. Obviously there are tons of babies on here who cry everytime something doesn't go their way....but
amen pal preach it

Game is in a really good spot. Patience and methodical gameplay is rewarded over hyper-aggressiveness. Strategy is a big factor in winning. The only thing i'd want changed is the effectiveness of that darn sinker. High sinkers are too effective in game and they wouldn't be IRL
High sinkers is your single hangup. And your name isn't Ramone?
That's another thing the gatekeepers (gaslighters) like to do. They'll focus on some silly trivial thing in the game that is so-so low on the totem poll..relatively speaking. And they'll just write post after post about it. Pinpoint is over-powered, sinkers suck, etc. Which, perhaps they are, but that's not even scratching the surface of the obvious AI interference to control outcomes.
Meanwhile, irritated folks drop posts in here about the overly manipulative AI and resulting horror stories and these same posters come to the defense of "da game" and blame it all on the terrible player, the monitor, or the lag.
It's a farce and I believe the gaslighters don't realize anyone with 2 brain-cells to rub together see through the scam. Follow the tons of profile and watch them contradict themselves all the time.
They'll answer replies from themselves as if they are a different profile..completely forgetting which profile they are currently using. That's just amateurish gaslighting (utilizing the power of numbers) to not keep track of your profile or the character that profile is supposed to adhere to.
They'll post stuff to bait people into giving up info about themselves. It's fun just to watch and sometimes play back. In fact, it's a lot of fun.
And that's fine. Everyone gonna post what they wanna post. Free country.
I don't care either way about what you said, but please stop using the term gaslighting when you clearly don't know what it means.
Not that you know, because obviously you don't. Gaslighting is a pretty broad term.
Marketing built on deception and manipulation is gaslighting plain and simple. Just a couple examples of why it's extra relevent in this context.
The constant bullying of people out here that gripe about the phony AI controlled play. Especially when they lose, a whole army (one or two with multiple accounts representing SDS) will instantly start pointing out how it's the OP's fault - they suck, they aren't doing it right, blah-blah.
That's enuf..I got several, but that one single example is a classic sign of gaslighting. Don't say stupid stuff and folks won't have to shove it up your..

You guys that are on here praising the game need to give your head a shake. The content is pretty great. The idea of the game is also great.
The experience of playing the game is not great. It’s not a question of being burnt out on the game, unless you are talking about being burnt out on unsatisfying gameplay.
Well said. The "idea" of the game is a noble one..it's just doesn't translate when it's just another game where the code is controlling the outcome..not the humans operating the controllers.

Incorrect, that's called manipulation.
Gaslighting, who's origins come from the 1944 film titled Gaslight, is when someone has a specific experience, but someone else (the gaslighter) tells that person that they had the opposite experience.
In the context of this game, and example would be:
John: I just made perfect contact on a ball and it ended up going foul
Gaslighter: No you didn't, you swung early and you didn't even hit the ball. It was a swinging strike.
John: No, I specifically remember making contact and getting the Perfect/Perfect indicator, as well as the sound the game provides when such contact is made.
Gaslighter: I was standing right here, I watched you swing and miss.
Gaslighting is an abusive form of manipulation, and people in these types of relationships eventually start to believe that what they saw or experienced was not reality. They slowly begin to think they are crazy, and even when they are no longer in the abusive relationship, they question their own ability to see and understand reality.
But go off son, I'm sure advertising a game differently than your experience is almost the same

Dude, you're trying to pull one definition out of context and say..this is the only thing that gaslighting represents. I can do the same thing. But, gaslighting is synonymous with manipulation, conning, and deception.
Let's put it in simpler terms. Gaslighting is arguing and trying to beat your target down with whatever tactics you argue with to support the argument. Plain and simple. We're gaslighting each other at this very moment.

Also, since you're quoting Merriam-Webster or whatever internet source because you're not sure either...here are a couple Wiki dot points that indicate "gaslighting":
• Withholding information from the target;
• Countering information to fit the abuser's perspective;
• Discounting information;Sound familiar? When you got the mods out here (dressed up like civilians..ha) that deny everything a complainer says about the game is actually the games fault. Classic Gaslighting.
TBH, I don't think I've experienced any forum argument that didn't involve at least some key aspects of Gaslighting.

In the context of this forum and the gatekeepers:
OP - "last night in one of my games some very usual stuff happened that made no sense or fit with any reality, physics, or gameplay I've ever seen in an actual baseball game".
Gatekeeper 1 with burner profile - "You suck."
Gatekeeper 2 - "It has to be lag"
Gatekeeper 3 with burner profile - but perhaps the same person as Gatekeeper 1 - "It's because you need a new monitor the game is perfect"
Gatekeeper 4 - "Get Gud".
In every instance "attempting" to make the complainer believe they are wrong/insane/stupid/etc. Or worse, making them feel so bad about themselves they feel it necessary to buy a new monitor to "get gud".
My example is much better than yours because it happens on this forum all the time. I've never-ever noted the dialogue you mentioned even remotely connected to this game.
Even though you "said" yours was relevant to this game..it wasn't. Your dialogue was as if some batter was arguing with an umpire at a baseball game.
Gaslighter: I was standing right here, I watched you swing and miss.
C'mon..that can't happen in this game can it? Well, not unless one of those manipulating gatekeeper gaslighters happened to be standing right behind me in my house while I play a console game.

BTW, I actually saw the movie Gaslight long before I ever heard the term. You are plagiarizing stuff you Googled. Which is fine, most folks do..but at least throw a "Cite statement" out there when you're using some other sources facts.
It's a very over-used term..I'll give ya that. But, that doesn't mean it doesn't fit a whole lot of situations.

lol, ok bud. While I'm a teacher, I do have a degree in clinical psychology as well (Family business, but not something I wanted to pursue).
And, if you knew anything about the field of psychology, you'd know that diagnosis and abuse terms come from the APA, not Merriam-Webster.
Keep digging a hole, or give up, I don't care, and I won't be back to check.
My point was simple, don't use these terms in such a loose and incorrect way. Between gaslight and Narcissist, the entire internet world thinks they are diagnostic experts these days.
Good luck bud.

Game is in a really good spot. Patience and methodical gameplay is rewarded over hyper-aggressiveness. Strategy is a big factor in winning. The only thing i'd want changed is the effectiveness of that darn sinker. High sinkers are too effective in game and they wouldn't be IRL
High sinkers is your single hangup. And your name isn't Ramone?
That's another thing the gatekeepers (gaslighters) like to do. They'll focus on some silly trivial thing in the game that is so-so low on the totem poll..relatively speaking. And they'll just write post after post about it. Pinpoint is over-powered, sinkers suck, etc. Which, perhaps they are, but that's not even scratching the surface of the obvious AI interference to control outcomes.
Meanwhile, irritated folks drop posts in here about the overly manipulative AI and resulting horror stories and these same posters come to the defense of "da game" and blame it all on the terrible player, the monitor, or the lag.
It's a farce and I believe the gaslighters don't realize anyone with 2 brain-cells to rub together see through the scam. Follow the tons of profile and watch them contradict themselves all the time.
They'll answer replies from themselves as if they are a different profile..completely forgetting which profile they are currently using. That's just amateurish gaslighting (utilizing the power of numbers) to not keep track of your profile or the character that profile is supposed to adhere to.
They'll post stuff to bait people into giving up info about themselves. It's fun just to watch and sometimes play back. In fact, it's a lot of fun.
And that's fine. Everyone gonna post what they wanna post. Free country.
I don't care either way about what you said, but please stop using the term gaslighting when you clearly don't know what it means.
Not that you know, because obviously you don't. Gaslighting is a pretty broad term.
Marketing built on deception and manipulation is gaslighting plain and simple. Just a couple examples of why it's extra relevent in this context.
The constant bullying of people out here that gripe about the phony AI controlled play. Especially when they lose, a whole army (one or two with multiple accounts representing SDS) will instantly start pointing out how it's the OP's fault - they suck, they aren't doing it right, blah-blah.
That's enuf..I got several, but that one single example is a classic sign of gaslighting. Don't say stupid stuff and folks won't have to shove it up your..
Incorrect, that's called manipulation.
Gaslighting, who's origins come from the 1944 film titled Gaslight, is when someone has a specific experience, but someone else (the gaslighter) tells that person that they had the opposite experience.
In the context of this game, and example would be:
John: I just made perfect contact on a ball and it ended up going foul
Gaslighter: No you didn't, you swung early and you didn't even hit the ball. It was a swinging strike.
John: No, I specifically remember making contact and getting the Perfect/Perfect indicator, as well as the sound the game provides when such contact is made.
Gaslighter: I was standing right here, I watched you swing and miss.
Gaslighting is an abusive form of manipulation, and people in these types of relationships eventually start to believe that what they saw or experienced was not reality. They slowly begin to think they are crazy, and even when they are no longer in the abusive relationship, they question their own ability to see and understand reality.
But go off son, I'm sure advertising a game differently than your experience is almost the same
Also, since you're quoting Merriam-Webster or whatever internet source because you're not sure either...here are a couple Wiki dot points that indicate "gaslighting":
• Withholding information from the target;
• Countering information to fit the abuser's perspective;
• Discounting information;Sound familiar? When you got the mods out here (dressed up like civilians..ha) that deny everything a complainer says about the game is actually the games fault. Classic Gaslighting.
TBH, I don't think I've experienced any forum argument that didn't involve at least some key aspects of Gaslighting.
lol, ok bud. While I'm a teacher, I do have a degree in clinical psychology as well (Family business, but not something I wanted to pursue).
And, if you knew anything about the field of psychology, you'd know that diagnosis and abuse terms come from the APA, not Merriam-Webster.
Keep digging a hole, or give up, I don't care, and I won't be back to check.
My point was simple, don't use these terms in such a loose and incorrect way. Between gaslight and Narcissist, the entire internet world thinks they are diagnostic experts these days.
Good luck bud.
Perhaps you are..perhaps you're gaslighting me. Claiming to be a teacher and having a degree in, whatever you said, in order to establish an environment that should put you as more of an authority. To give you credibility that allows your superiority to beat down and confuse the other guy.
When I'm the other guy..ain't happenin'. Not tootin' my own horn or anything..and I may not be an actual Wordsmith (pretty close to the Googled definition though)..I really have strived my whole life to use words/terms/etc. properly. If I miss..I'll admit it.
Yeah, sometimes they'll reference Gaslighting in the world of mental health, and sho' enuf it fits there as well. Works in politics too. Don't know how many times Trump was accused of gaslighting. For things very representative as what I've already mentioned.
So, if you admit you don't own a copyright on the meaning of the term gaslighting..I'll admit that I'm arguing with someone just for the sake of argument and pretty convinced we're both correct.

This game is horrendous. I’m sick of people sticking up for SDS. Content is the only thing that has saved this game since 19. SDS is producing [censored] just like EA, because they know there isn’t a better option.
Makes me laugh all the people who hate this game yet play it everyday (and complain and cry ) like clockwork at a certain point u might need therapy.
See I play offline mostly to parallel players. I have 72 ranked games, have only completed one br program for story. This game is trash and I’m sorry you don’t think so. Those who think it’s good are the ones in the minority
I'm curious on how you determine that people that enjoy the game are in the minority? I hope it's not based on the opinions given on this forum because that is such a small amount of people that it really isn't worth noting. The fact that people are still playing this game, playing a lot and a lot of different modes says that overall people are either dealing with limitations or enjoy the game. Don't base anything off of what you read on here either way and state that it's the majority or minority.

I, personally, believe anyone that has played this game for a bit have encountered times this game has made them cuss out loud. Perhaps thrown their controller. Likely happens with many games. Do they have more moments of fun..likely.
But, doesn't take many really bad incidents to offset a world of good.
Don't care if it's The Show or Mario Bros. Some ppl are more discriminating and cynical than others.
Those are likely the ones that take that bad incident, or several hundred, and just give up on the game. Happened to me.

The graphics, the gameplay, different modes, the different moments, all of the legends, RTTS......this game seriously has it all. Never in all of my years did I think I'd see video games come this far, and this game is the best sports game out there at the moment by a country mile.
A major pat on the back to SDS for what they have done, I hope they continue this for years to come.
You will now be crucified by. Bunch of dudes living with their mothers.

I didn't google anything bud, some of us have brains, read books, study, and retain information. If you had to google it it means 2 things. 1: You have no idea what the term means (duh, that's why I called you out). 2: If the definition was similar to mine, it means my brain did all of the above quite well, which is no surprise, anyone that passed Dr. Markley's Abnormal Psych class deserves a medal (it's been close to a decade since I finished my B.S. in Psychology).
As for your political reference, that is exactly what I'm talking about. People have taken psychology specific terms, with little understanding of the complex meaning, and thrown them around on social media, forums, etc.
It's exactly your reference to the misuse of the term in politics that my OP was about. Stop using terms you don't understand incorrectly. Gaslighting is a serious issue, one that causes a lifetime of emotional harm (typically for women, as men are the majority of humans that use such tactics), unless it's an actual example of said behavior. When you actually see it, please call it out. Otherwise, using it in reference to a baseball video game simply desensitizes the term, and makes victims of it seem less believable.
If this is too much for you, fine. But find another term. Manipulated by SDS, it gets the point across the same, but it doesn't damage the integrity of a serious behavior flaw.
Or, you could say: All of you guys who support the game, despite the manipulation you've experienced by SDS...etc. etc. etc.
You get the point. Do what you wish, it's your life after all

I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You know you've been looking all this stuff up. No one just knows this off the top of their head. To quote one of your many, obviously, stolen bits - "Gaslighting, who's origins come from the 1944 film titled Gaslight"
That line right there convinces me you've been stealing info off the internet. Who are you really? Are you a teacher or a 14 year old student. Hard to tell..TBH.
Jj..I don't care..just don't try to pass yourself off as something you're not. It's not flattering..and we'll leave it at that. I understand ppl have to find info,nothing wrong with that. But don't pretend it's coming out of your head. I know the difference.

• Discounting information;Sound familiar? When you got the mods out here (dressed up like civilians..ha) that deny everything a complainer says about the game is actually the games fault. Classic Gaslighting.
TBH, I don't think I've experienced any forum argument that didn't involve at least some key aspects of Gaslighting.
lol, ok bud. While I'm a teacher, I do have a degree in clinical psychology as well (Family business, but not something I wanted to pursue).
And, if you knew anything about the field of psychology, you'd know that diagnosis and abuse terms come from the APA, not Merriam-Webster.
Keep digging a hole, or give up, I don't care, and I won't be back to check.
My point was simple, don't use these terms in such a loose and incorrect way. Between gaslight and Narcissist, the entire internet world thinks they are diagnostic experts these days.
Good luck bud.
Perhaps you are..perhaps you're gaslighting me. Claiming to be a teacher and having a degree in, whatever you said, in order to establish an environment that should put you as more of an authority. To give you credibility that allows your superiority to beat down and confuse the other guy.
When I'm the other guy..ain't happenin'. Not tootin' my own horn or anything..and I may not be an actual Wordsmith (pretty close to the Googled definition though)..I really have strived my whole life to use words/terms/etc. properly. If I miss..I'll admit it.
Yeah, sometimes they'll reference Gaslighting in the world of mental health, and sho' enuf it fits there as well. Works in politics too. Don't know how many times Trump was accused of gaslighting. For things very representative as what I've already mentioned.
So, if you admit you don't own a copyright on the meaning of the term gaslighting..I'll admit that I'm arguing with someone just for the sake of argument and pretty convinced we're both correct.
I didn't google anything bud, some of us have brains, read books, study, and retain information. If you had to google it it means 2 things. 1: You have no idea what the term means (duh, that's why I called you out). 2: If the definition was similar to mine, it means my brain did all of the above quite well, which is no surprise, anyone that passed Dr. Markley's Abnormal Psych class deserves a medal (it's been close to a decade since I finished my B.S. in Psychology).
As for your political reference, that is exactly what I'm talking about. People have taken psychology specific terms, with little understanding of the complex meaning, and thrown them around on social media, forums, etc.
It's exactly your reference to the misuse of the term in politics that my OP was about. Stop using terms you don't understand incorrectly. Gaslighting is a serious issue, one that causes a lifetime of emotional harm (typically for women, as men are the majority of humans that use such tactics), unless it's an actual example of said behavior. When you actually see it, please call it out. Otherwise, using it in reference to a baseball video game simply desensitizes the term, and makes victims of it seem less believable.
If this is too much for you, fine. But find another term. Manipulated by SDS, it gets the point across the same, but it doesn't damage the integrity of a serious behavior flaw.
Or, you could say: All of you guys who support the game, despite the manipulation you've experienced by SDS...etc. etc. etc.
You get the point. Do what you wish, it's your life after all
I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You know you've been looking all this stuff up. No one just knows this off the top of their head. To quote one of your many, obviously, stolen bits - "Gaslighting, who's origins come from the 1944 film titled Gaslight"
That line right there convinces me you've been stealing info off the internet. Who are you really? Are you a teacher or a 14 year old student. Hard to tell..TBH.
Jj..I don't care..just don't try to pass yourself off as something you're not. It's not flattering..and we'll leave it at that. I understand ppl have to find info,nothing wrong with that. But don't pretend it's coming out of your head. I know the difference.
lol, thanks for the compliment, truly. It's not that hard to imagine that someone who studied psychology would know where a term comes from. If you are honestly interested in learning more about this, there are some fantastic youtube channels out there. I recommend starting with Dr. Kirk Honda (We both graduated at Antioch University, a couple years apart). He's one of the best around, and he explains these things very well.

Yes this game is great, but way too much toxicity online to fully enjoy
