Well, I can no longer successfully put a bat on ball online. I am [censored]. I can absolutely dominate with my ballplayer on legend difficulty in road to the show, but can’t get more than 3 measly singles against 84 hunter greene on all star with a fully loaded diamond squad. Complete game shutout with 15 K’s. He still had 1/3 stamina after throwing 120 pitches and could continue to throw every single pitch type on the black. I am so frustrated with myself. Even took 3+ days off from online play and still absolutely sucked when I came back today. My once team average of .350 has plummeted since getting to all star ranked seasons. I guess I’m not cut out for this….
Jesus… I thought me hitting the ball every time vs trash players was bad… 15ks? I dot. Think I k 15 times in 10 games… I’m more mad at the feedback on good hits. It’s like the game nerfs you at times and buffs the opponents….. I’ve lost 3 in a row…. No one hit the ball well according to feedback vs me… but broken bat hits and random homeruns beat me… yet good swings and constant outs you lose. This game is as garbage as 18, it’s a carbon copy of the dookie randomness of taht game. Forces hanger, rewards poor swings and doesn’t reward good ones other than perfect….just a bad experience.
For those of us who struggle to hit, trust me the game is not nerfing anything or helping us. I have never won a 9 inning game online. There's no way for a new player to catch up to guys who've been at this for years. I just wish SDS would have honored the idea of more content for offline players like they kept
about in their steam. I've been done with everything for a week and feel like I'm just running RIB from last year over and over with the mystery map. The big difference...that was December. This is 3 weeks after the release of the game. -

Deep breath. Take a few pitches. Don’t become predictable. Take a strike. Patience. You gonna be fine king.
Trust me I try, but when I take pitches. They’re just painted on the black. I wish I could show the pitch chart of the whole game. Out of 120 pitches, a max 3 came over the middle of the plate. And it was constant 99 on the down and away to both sides of the plate. Was completely no chance to try and hit that pitch for me. I’m just not good. People complain about meatballs being forced into your pitching. I don’t think I ever saw a meatball the whole game. And if I did, I’d predictably miss it since I am hot [censored] anyway. Too bad there’s nothing to do offline the next few days since I’m done with everything.
If the pitches you’re taking are painted in the black you’re going in the right direction, you can’t do much with those anyway.
Play the event, it’s a less stressful environment and it’s all star also, so it’s good practice

You are… but it does take lots and lots of reps if you have the time and energy to do that.
Offline I can hit anything, and I consider legend difficulty as comparable reps to online all star. But it sure as heck doesn’t feel like it. I instantly lose my eye and can’t lay off anything, and I get extremely antsy since I’ve become used to the AI pitch style.
Yeah, that’s understandable. My learning started exclusively online and then I went offline, so my experience is different. However, from my perspective, playing online on All-Star can legitimately be tougher than legend offline because your opponent picks up on your tendencies and adapts.
Interesting. I find the opposite, especially this year. I find legend mini seasons and even conquest a good challenge this year, much more than last year ( I don’t play RTTS so maybe that is different). while AS online has been the same as last to me ( I don’t enjoy it but do well, prefer HOF for more of a challenge and better gameplay.
But we all view things and play the game differently.

But good gawd is it boring. I'm 3-0 and I think all 3 games were 1-0 won in extras with the runner starting on 2nd. It's a bunt cheese fest lol.
I'll just focus on BR and buy the rewards from this event. I hope the next one Is better. I always liked the all silver or all gold events.

I agree , this one is brutally awful. Second one in a row that I will buy the rewards and I usually max out every event. This game may lose me this year though, and I never thought I would say those words.

The next program, and new content are going to have to be
with a good grind and good rewards, or I think alot of people may move on. -

It’s been so long since I played offline on legend. I probably have no clue what I’m talking about lmao.

I either have changed allegiance from my lifetime Dodger loyalty or it’s another issue with this game. I will Let you guess which one it is, my friend.
