    This game is awful. Don’t listen to these fools, you’re allowed to be critical of a game you paid money for. It truly is a disgrace of a game. Keep making threads about how bad this game is and what you’re upset about. Don’t let the SDS sheep try and stop you. They think by defending them, that SDS is going to flood their accounts with headliner packs.

    He was stuck out 18 times in his late game, but claims everyone just swings.......

    I think he means, he swings at everything

    To the OP it happens bro. I got struck out 26 times yes 26 awhile back to a guy. I was hella frustrated cause that was a record for me but it happens. I’ve been getting better over time but I still run into slumps every now and then with close to 20 strike outs.

    I just looked at my stats in H2H. I’ve been at bat 1902 times and been struck out 982 times that’s more than 50% of the times I strike out lol so don’t feel bad.

    This game is terrible PCI do not matter people free swing and taking pitches does not matter and then with some PCI if the game likes the other play you get hosed over and over and over and the PCI and the pitcher you use does not matter

    So...its ok for you to swing at everything and strike out 18 times, but any body else does and they are a "free swinging loser"? Sounds to me like you are a "free swinging loser"! How else would you strike out 18 times and not be the "free swinging loser" that you like to call every one else that you play against?

    Not only that, how is your opponent that only struck out 4 times compared to your 18 times and won the game a "free swinging loser"? Apparently his "free swinging" is connecting with the baseball while your "free swinging" misses which also includes him winning and you being the loser!!!

    YOU strike out 18 times and lose but your opponent is the "free swinging loser"??? Yep, you are definitely one of those "special" people!

    I struck out 21 times and won. It always happens to be that one pitching mistake. Was down 1-0 till the 8th inning. Hit a first pitch 3 run homer. Won 3-1. The other player was a good sport. We both GGed each other.

    It's baseball. It's fantastic 😍😊

    That's not what I think. I think by playing the game they'll flood my account with packs. I don't think SDS cares what I have to say but I just grind the programs, flip cards on the market and they flops my account with plenty.

    I enjoy the game a lot. It has its flaws for sure but I still find it very fun. But that's me. So I keep playing. You hate it. So stop playing and don't buy it again. It's just not worth it to be this angry over a video game. Stop playing and demand a refund. Of course the fact that you keep playing every day will ensure you don't get one. You are using their product thus getting your money's worth.

    People will stop throwing out of the zone when you stop swinging. If not, take your walks. I sometimes get bad and chase pitches in the dirt, the only person I get mad at is me. If you have to shut your eyes, look at your phone, put the controller down. But until you prove you won't swing at pitches out of the zone, you aren't going to see a strike.

    That’s not what you do though. You make complaint threads with little description of what is making you upset. You just say this game is awful and blah blah blah. Nothing constructive about your posts at all.

    Did you get two runners on with very early/very late hits? When I give those late in the game I know my opponent will send one into orbit next

    There has only been one game with 21k’s in the history of the game and it was a 16 inning game where that pitcher’s team won. There are five other 20k games that all had that pitcher’s team win the game. I don’t know that there is a reference point to say “it’s baseball”….but it definitely sounds like “MLB The Show”.

    The game really is terrible in every aspect besides content. Gameplay is the worst in all of gaming.

    If they swing at balls, keep throwing balls. Simple as.

    You have the same take in every thread but I fail to see how it relates to this thread. OP complaining about people swinging at every pitch and you somehow link that to SDS and gameplay. Is SDS pressing swing on OP's opponent's controllers? Why not save your one line for threads where it's actually relevant?

    And my response to OP, yes, exactly. Why indeed? Seems like you answered your own question.

    Sorry, but I think you need to quit pretending you are fooling the community. The person swinging at every pitch is YOU. Embrace what your abilities are at present and try to get better.

    I have admitted openly on these boards that I am easily the worst hitter online, but I have gotten slightly better, and have had games where it all came together for me and had some pretty good games.

    If you were beating all these "losers" so badly then why would you be upset that they are chasing all these horrible pitches you are throwing? I would be thinking "great, I have a chance for a big game today".
