Anecdotal, but I tend to find myself having better focus and taking more balls when I’m losing in the last 3 -4 innings. I assume I’m not alone here.
That’s cool, I found I don’t need to do that when I’m getting game winning hits like this.

This must be a “flaw” though that just seemed to happen at the right time to end the game.
CLEARLY SDS has chosen you this year. Let me reevaluate my worldview now.
Can’t think of anything else to say to dispute it? Kinda hard I know when the proof is right in front of you.
Your definition of proof differs greatly from mine.
A photo isn’t proof to you?

Wow I’m so glad I’m not playing the same game as you and that your opponents have all the scripts going their way, leading them to win is a shame. It’s like you’re playing an inferior version of the game! Are you sure it’s not a cheap generic brand/knock off The Show? I’d check if I were you.
Or do like me and own your pathetic play

That's right, a photo of a hit off an early swing isn't proof enough of there being a conspiracy.

Here is a thought. More conspiratorial than fact-based, but quite plausible. Surely would fit into a marketing strategy by a gaming company.
I believe every year SDS chooses a random set of userId's to "relax" the AI on. Perhaps set most of their online experience to "Veteran" difficulty or whatever. Those are your consistent 800 folks. And, believe me, that would easy-cheesy for the programmers to integrate into the game. A simple coded switch.
By doing this SDS has created a "point of reference" that the fan-boys can recite to argue the game-play is based on player skill not AI. Really isn't another valid argument I've ever heard than this. Don't know how many times I've seen some one type "It has to be real or so-and-so wouldn't always be 800+". Well, my response is "you have to be gullible" to believe that's any sort of quantifiable metric. Marketing...pure and simple.
Have you taken time to actually watch some of these "chosen" guys play? Their PCI placement is robot-like. So, baseball being baseball, the law of averages ends up in their favor due to many more well-placed swings than the average user.
There is no behind the scenes shenanigans going on. We are all playing the same game, good or bad.
When I started playing DD in 2017, I sucked. Bad. But I grinded and grinded and improved my gameplay until I made World Series division near the end of the year and then continued to consistently make it in 2018 and 2019. I was not "chosen", I earned it. And that's the problem many of you have, you're not willing to do what it takes to actually get better and just admit that, at best, you're average at this game. Not saying that you couldn't be better, but as long as you think the game has it out for you you'll just constantly be mediocre at best.

“I can believe that things are true and I can believe things that aren’t true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they’re true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen – I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkledy lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women. I believe that the future sucks and I believe that future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone’s [censored]. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good [censored] in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state. I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we’ll all be wiped out by the common cold like the Martians in War of the Worlds. I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman. I believe that mankind’s destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it’s aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there’s a cat in a box somewhere who’s alive and dead at the same time (although if they don’t ever open the box to feed it it’ll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself. I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn’t even know that I’m alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of casual chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says that [censored] is overrated just hasn’t done it properly. I believe that anyone claims to know what’s going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman’s right to choose, a baby’s right to live, that while all human life is sacred there’s nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you’re alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

I don’t think players think the game has it out for them, their just frustrated with having to play through the bs the game throws out. I can understand if you miss your timing on a pitch, or didn’t get green meter while fielding those should result in a bad outcome. The frustrating part is when the game makes you throw a meatball or forced an error when you did everything right. Or even when the game is rewarding bad hits while good ones aren’t.
The game itself is influencing outcomes and unless, like you said, you can become an above average hitter....those game influencing outcomes are deciding games for the average players. The question is why? Why is the game making that stuff happen out of user control?

I believe in some conspiracy theories that you guys wouldn’t even want to know about, but that’s just dumb.

Why are you always so stubborn about everything, he obviously didn't spell out THE GAME IS OUT TO GET ME, but he did suggest that WS players get there because the turns it on veteran for them, BUT not for him, he has to play on regular. That's not saying the game is out to get him?
Sometimes I love what you say, you speak your mind and you are right about a lot of things, one thing you aren't right about is that everyone who posts negative things is doing so for altruistic purposes. This guy clearly being an example. He doesn't help the case, he makes anyone who complains about the game look nuts.
Maybe I'm wrong about you, maybe you're just always mad and will just side with anyone as long they criticize the game, no matter the message. If you want to go along with this guy and have your complaints mixed in with his, be my guest.
