Why I criticize this game

@parradox-cam_psn said in Why I criticize this game:
In my line of work, you fail means you fail. Your not rewarded until your successful which means you try and try until you get it right.
I carry that mentality when I come home and get on this game.
It frustrates me to see my opponent be rewarded for failing, and myself, I don’t want the game to hold my hand. The hitting in this game does exactly that. It comes down to many things from retaining players to game sales, online gaming is huge business and there’s lots of money to be made if your game is setup the right way.
With all that being said, I’m turning a new page and accepting it. Many many suggestions/ideas along with tough criticism have been brought forward to the people responsible for this game, some of those have been implemented. With minimal changes over the years towards the hitting design it’s apparent they’re content with what it is and that seems to be the near future as well. I enjoy this game at times and want to throw it away at times, at the end of the day it’s the only game I’ve consistently played for years and despite its flaws I’ll keep playing….and accepting the flaws and randomness throughout the gameplay. The content has always been top notch.
I’ve also been critical towards other people and I apologize for that. I tried to never insult anyone but if you took my criticism as an insult…again, my apologies. Here’s to a new year and hope everyone achieves your goals. Have fun.
you’re
As in you’re failing with your grammar.
Same mistake with their and they’re.
And yea dude, it’s a video game. Chill. You would likely benefit from therapy.

People need to stop trying to compare their 9-5 job to professional sports. There is nothing similar except that you get paid for doing a job.
Do you realize that some peoples 9-5 job is professional sports.
That's not a 9-5 job. Just stop. You have some of the worst takes on these forums I've seen out of anyone.
What do you classify as a 9-5 job?
8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It is pretty simple. Some people may have to work overtime or be on call.

I use to carry that mentality, and still do to a degree. (Not towards the game, but work)
But it's honestly a very toxic mentality, and not just towards other people, but to myself/yourself to.

This is post is eerily reminiscent of a certain multi account poster Am I right @jonblaze2424_PSN and @TEXAS10PT_PSN ?
Come on man, don't take yourself so seriously.

The nature of work has changed and is highly flexible. Ballplayers wake up at 12, workout, take a nap, show up at the ballpark 3 hours before the game, meet with press, warmup, play a 3 hour game, meet with press again, fly to the next city, in bed at 4 am. And this is 7 days a week for 7 months. Off-seasons can involve business deals, training, and even winter leagues.
I get up 5 minutes before work and sign into work at 8:30 in my underwear. I then proceed to work, drink coffee, and post on these forums until I sign off at 5:00.
Who has the real “9-5 job”?
And if you don’t like your situation, change it. I assume you live in a free country.

The OP takes this game way too seriously. It’s a game. If a person needs to compare it to a job or treat it like a job, they need to find a new hobby. I already have a full time career, I don’t need a second job playing a video game that I’m not getting paid to play. If it felt that way, I’d delete off my system if my wife didn’t already do it for me. There are too many other things in life to worked up about and a video game is not even in my top 100. Heck, I’m more worried about my dress pants still fitting after two years of not having to wear them due to working from home.

I got 99 problems and not having the Roberto Alomar card ain't one.
Ok....yes it is!!!!!!!!! I'm missing one card. Sure there are wars and pandemics and Fresh Princes slapping comedians in the name of love.....but where is my Roberto Alomar card??
I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

Took me a full year of playing (‘20) to realize the results weren’t entirely in my control. In ‘21 I was no longer frustrated by bogus hitting results. It allowed me to stay calm on focus on the next pitch / at bat. As a result, I got 3x better at the game in ‘21 and won well over 3/4 of my online games, flew through moments and showdowns etc.
Credit to CBREV and his videos for helping me make this change.
I agree 100% the RNG is frustrating. I wish they’d tone it down OR offer a mode where it truly is stick skills (RS “Extreme”) or something.
At the end of the day I can’t blame them for wanting to retain their player base with RNG to give everyone a chance. At the end of the day if you put more good contact on the ball more often, youll get more hits.

Unless he is infantry or special operations in the military. Technically both are considered to be professional athletes.

Would I be correct in assuming that you also do not support the strategy of bringing a starter out of the pen?

My life mentality is do what puts the least amount of stress on yourself. Work bringing you down? Don't bring it home with you, as soon as you punch out, work doesn't exist. Your job bringing you extreme stress? Find a way to lessen your work load if possible. Enjoy life, don't stress through it.

I assume he lives in America and is giving a critique about not being “truly free” without any consideration of context. Could be wrong, but probably not.
