    Why even bother. Just so broken and unrealistic.

    The reality is SDS has made this game to give bad and casual players a chance to win . Unless your a top 50 goon it’s hard for most of us to over come the bs. Ive force myself to play this game because I love baseball

    So how does the game know that the person is a bad or casual player?

    It doesn’t, it just rewards bad input far too often. We understand that there is randonmess in baseball, there are bloop hits, unlucky ball bounces and all that… but this is a videogame and input should matter a little bit more.

    For starters pitcher’s confidence shouldn’t be included in the hitting outcomes equation, if your confidence is up and you threw an absolute dot, if I was good enough to put pci on the ball then don’t punish me.

    We've seen this happening in front of our eyes for years now. It's a toxic monopoly they have over MLB rights coupled with the cash cow that is Diamond Dynasty aka a "Gacha" game. They can now cater to the people that have money and feel happiness over spending real life money on a virtual item.

    This was bound to get more and more casual.

    Have you ever played real baseball? Confidence is key. I think currently hitting and pitching is pretty balanced.

    Also this is a video game. If you want to be perfectly realistic go play on a real diamond. It's the BEST video game of baseball we have and I think SDS has done a fine job.

    It's not perfect but it's fun. That's all I care about.

    Stop complaining about it and try to enjoy life.

    LMAO… because it’s a video game is why we complain, good input should be rewarded more, I felt the same way about the game when I was new, it felt fun and balanced, then I got better and started to see why ppl were frustrated with the bs hits and lineouts. You’ll get there eventually.

    100%, also the game will penalize you for swinging early more times than not. All because they want you on this stale game longer. If I put a good swing on a meat ball with a high vision/contact/power hitter don't penalize me with a weak pop up because I swung early.

    Very broken

    If I’m very early/late I do not get mad, JE pulled for fouls or good/good lines that hang unrealistically until fat [censored] Babe Ruth playing in a secondary position gets to them, those make me go crazy.

    agreed, I meant early swing in the count. Like first pitch swinging, they will penalize

    I have played baseball and even pitches, high confidence never allowed me to hang a slider watch it get squared up and turn into a lazy fly ball

    They need the casuals that are spending real money to feel like theyre getting their money's worth. So instead of feeding the casuals to the more serious players on a platter, they just upped the RNG so that the casuals have a better shot with their Money Spent team.

    If it's going to head in that direction, then the game needs to stop being $70 every year or make Diamond Dynasty it's completely own seperate free to play game where the more hardcore players wont feel cheated.

    I hit more first pitch HR's than any other time in the count. This couldn't be furthest from the truth.

    My obsession with the MLB forces me to play too which I hate. There is no reason on earth that my opponents should have 4-7 extra opportunities from foul balls when they swing at every single pitch in the dirt. 100 percent built for casuals you are dead on!

    I knew this game was toast when they included free swinging switch and xbox users. Just give us a competitive mode free of RNG and DDA. Its not to much to ask. Its 2018 all over again!

    Its like putting change in a vending machine and your chips get stuck half way down. Your input means nothing in this game is the point he is trying to make.

    Offline plays well if that's your thing but online is a RNG nightmare.
