Tips for terrible slumps?
-
Was going to post something like this. I'm lucky I'm winning in ranked seasons but I'm struggling big time.
I spent a weekor two grinding my rtts player and followed the suggested grind of changing pitchers to 1 overall and putting it on rookie. Super slow 84 mph fastballs right down the middle for 20 hours or so. Then went back into DD and now all of a sudden, 500/600 ranked fastballs that are going 95 mph are a blur and I'm swinging once the catcher has it in his glove.
I used to put up 10+ runs in those ranked ratings and now I can't hit. Have no clue how long it will last but hopefully I adjust soon. Don't know if it was worth grinding to get a created player.

Go to custom practice
But before that go to settings and set the sliders for fastballs and sinkers ALL the way up. Do that for 20-30 minutes before you play
Then those Johnson heaters will look like Wiffle balls -

My best tip is take a break. I feel like my patience and vision goes down the tank if I’m playing a lot in a short span. I usually play a lot better when I take at least a day or 2 off.
THIS…Go play Halo, COD, ect and don’t touch the show for a few days. The SDS algorithm doesn’t like when you do this and you will come back to a host of cupcakes waiting for you.

I was wondering if anyone was gonna reference Gracie's "Slumpbuster" method! Basically he said if the team is a wreck somebody has to bed a very undesirable woman and that will help break the team out of their funk. Also known as "jumping on a grenade for the boys".
That being said I think to complete this analogy maybe play 3 or 4 hours of RBI 15 and see if that is enough of a slumpbuster to get you back on the good foot.

Give up! Lifes way easier when you take that route!
Facts! You also don't achieve anything which is the best part.

This game is truly something else. The last 3 days I can't see the ball at all and I cant pitch to save my life.
I dont know if my Internet has gotten worse or maybe I have declined that much is such a short span of time.
Any tips to get out of this funk?
Slump Busting…google it read Mark Graces piece on it

I tried this once. Now I am in a loveless marriage with two troll children. Still haven't made WS.

I’m not a big ranked player myself, but I do grind events and BR, that said, I usually start with a couple of mini seasons games on All Star or HOF before heading online, you face cards you’re likely to face with no pressure. Great way to gauge where you’re at.
