The broken CPU pitching is making me already bored of the game
-
The offline grind is already long enough and now its even worse since the broken buggy trash pitching throws balls 75% of the time and when they do throw strikes its usually on the edges of the strike zone. Who the hell wants to stand around and get walked or HBP half the time? If you wanna hit the ball you gotta swing at junk outside the zone. How do they even release the game in this state when half the game straight up doesn't work?

sds acknowledged it and looking into it

Try being patient. Some of those free passes = free runs = free pxp

Good I am not the only one that thought offline pitching had issue. Mini Seasons is a grind, fun at times, but only when you are not just walking all the time. I had five walks in a row, and won the game 1-0. And to top it off I only had one hit in the hole game. The patients thing is weird, becuase you are wating for somekind of good pitch to swing at, but after so many bad pitches, when the good one comes, I have fallen asleep at the plate. Every pitch should have me on the edge of where is might go. Pease fix this SDS. I only play offline.

@K9_21owl
One wonders what “looking into it” means and how long it really takes to adjust the sliders or whatever.Ten bucks says this is all about SDS finding out the player base’s line of acceptance for cpu balls.

Here is the thing we get very little in terms of communication when the devs have shown they know how to use this forum. It would be nice to know of even a vague ETA on a patch to fix this stuff so we have an idea how things are going. Keeping this mostly radio silence makes them look bad and I think players are starting to get annoyed. I have seen more hostile posts between the players in the past couple days. We ( the players ) are starting to turn on each other cause we have no idea who to be upset with at SDS. I will be honest I do not care who's fault it is if this was bad work on the devs or they were rushed by upper management or alittle of both.
I think at this point all I want is this to be fixed and some communication from the dev team that CLAIMS to listen to the player base but when it really counts is mute and starting to look worse by the hour. You guys at SDS have built a TON of good will over the years it would be a shame to destroy it by NOT saying anything.
FIX YOUR GAME and please give us some updates ASAP -- THX

Here's some tips. Use some hitters with the bad ball hitting quirk. You'll be surprised at how well they hit.
Take the first couple pitches unless they're meatballs down the middle.
Take your walks. More men on base = more run opportunities.
Stop playing on rookie. It's by far the worse.
Play on veteran or allstar.
If veteran is too difficult, go practice on allstar for 15 minutes, then go play games on veteran. I guarantee you will see the ball better and will get better results. -
i want to see if i can win a game without swinging a bat once due to the walks lol
-
@Shauwn "Stop Playing on Rookie" this narrative you and others are trying to push is ridiculous, SDS has used the saying "Play your way" and that way for a percentage of the community is playing on Rookie weather that be for a casual experience or for any other reason that's how they're comfortable playing the game, not everyone has the ability, skill or time to play on higher levels.
-
@Shauwn the bad ball quirk is smart! I hadn’t thought of that. I will try this out later.
-
I wish that would happen when I play but the CPU on rookie throws me ZERO balls but then again I haven't been able to play much because I play on Nintendo switch so it crashes ALOT
-
It even does on veteran, not just on rookie. And it makes the conquest and moments a pain in the [censored]. I don't need anyone's permission to play on rookie and veteran.
-
The CPU to start this year, i'm a free swinger but this is outrageous this year so far
-
Well it has made more disciplined at the plate. I had a pitcher throw a Perfect Release fastball that almost hit me lol.
-
@halfbutt true that.
Early on in last year’s game the RTTS pitching attributes not increasing/ resetting was being looked into.
That bug has carried over into The Show 24. A lot of very frustrated and angry RTTS players right now.
-
@Shauwn just for the fun of it I went to Franchise and started a game on Veteran and never swung for the first inning the cpu walked 5 of my batters and 6 more in inning 2 after that I just quit that game out not sure how much worse it is on Rookie but playing on Veteran doesn't show good results like you say
-
Hmm. I think I’ll go practice on all star for a few minutes so I can beat the cpu on veteran. LOL,
-
Why any one WOULDNT play this PXP card collection lifesuck on rookie is beyond me. You get the same PXP as on All Star, HOF, or Legend. Why not bang out 50 hits, 40 runs, and strike out 23 rather than settling for less on the higher difficulties? The only way to increase PXP payoff is by suffering through the toxic dashboarding scripted hell of Ranked. I strongly suspect that the whole point of making rookie intolerable is an attempt to encourage players to migrate away from computer play toward their h2h cesspool. Fcuk that. I’d sooner put in my own catheter.

I played against Strider and the Braves for my test. He tends to have a bit better control.
Btw, it's not insanely better, but the cpu should throw more strikes than on rookie.

I played against Jacob Degrom and 11 walks in 2 innings and when looked at the analysis it was 38% strike rate on Veteran
