    @Captain_Chegster said in Change My Mind: This game is not Fun or Competitive:

    1. Facing 99 Kluber every [censored] game.
    2. Skill Generally is Not Rewarded
    3. Fly balls bouncing off our defenders’ heads.
    4. The game is not allowing us locate pitches & Our pitchers throwing meatballs right down the middle for homeruns regardless of pitcher control stats.
    5. It’s either Homerun, double play, or bust.
    6. Perfect/Perfect feedback is an out. But Good/Okay Contact is blasted into the stands for bombs.
    7. High Sinkers and High Velocity dominate this game.
    8. When you start smacking around Little Billy, the game’s RNG & scripted gameplay starts to impact your win/loss w/ errors and other bs.
    9. Constantly being unfairly matched up with Godly squads.
    10. Most importantly, Why even “practice” when it doesn’t make perfect in this game?

    Unless anyone can convince me, I’m taking a break from this game until they patch it. Call of duty has been fun.

    There really isn't an algorithm for team matchmaking, there is the rating mod, but that only affects it so much. I'm not really sure what they can do because people with really good teams in low divisions would probably have to wait awhile to find someone if it was based off overall.

    @eatyum said in Change My Mind: This game is not Fun or Competitive:

    1. Yep, agree

    2. Disagree, the skilled player comes out on top more often than not.

    3. 1000000000000000000000000% AGREE, SO FRUSTRATING.

    4. Agree

    5. Don't agree, at least that's not how it is for me, yesterday, I scored 14 runs, only one was off a home run, I'm more of a singles hitter (though that's also because the hitters I chose reflect that). I realize I'm not the majority, but if people are picking all power hitters, it kind of makes sense that's how the game is played.

    6. I feel rewarded for my perfect/perfects.

    7. High velocity should dominate, but agree on high sinkers

    8. Nope, don't believe in that.

    9. I don't agree, but I can see where you are coming from, matchmaking is a tricky subject with many different views.

    10. Once again, disagree. It took me a ton of practice to lay off balls, now I draw walks all the time, practice helps.

    Couldn't have said it better myself.

    If everyone is facing Kluber why isn’t he getting lit up online? I’m being serious here.

    I’ve been playing offline only because I’ll delete the game if I lose a ranked match due to my fielder taking a pop up to the face without trying to use his glove. It happens enough offline

    Hitting his sinker produces rng results if you even can react to it in time to line up and maybe be rewarded. Also most players have extremely small pcis against him regardless of what he's throwing. And most people are playing against him on events every single time which is hall of fame now and just amplifies those first two problems.

    The fact SDS laughed he's going to be a problem like Kershaw last year and thought this was funny not a problem is all you need to know about how mediocre they are at game design.

    Then why is it there? That's bs it definitely effects the game. I can tell when Matt Olson starts booting grounders at 3rd and Sandberg cant make a throw to 1st there's a tilt problem.

    Well your first problem might be putting Matt Olson at third, he's a first basemen who can play right field, not third base.

    Secondly, IDK why they still show it int his years game, but it 100% does not affect anything anymore. They did away with it affecting matchmaking last year

    Why would anyone try and change your mind? If you don’t like it, don’t play. That’s all that matters, not what we think.

    Wow. Such intelligent counter-arguments.

    You , my friend, are a MASTER-deBATER!

    You just reminded me of what Chris Berman said on NATIONAL RADIO in the playoffs last year during the STL game: “It’s a fly ball to center and Bader masters it to retire the side”. My jaw dropped while driving.

    Skilled players are most certainly rewarded. If you disagree, it’s probably because you’re on the wrong side of the equation.

    I meant to say 1st my bad. To be honest who are you to even comment. I bought the game I can voice my opinion and or agree with someone as well. Keyboard warrior go have your my make you a sandwich.

    Clearly it still affects the game matchup wise. Keep drinking the kool aide.

    I think this was very well put. People are constantly disapointed with video games year after year instead of just realizing video games can be frustrating and are never perfect. I think this game is the best they have dropped since 2017.
