RS by difficulty?
-
@IrishFist412_MLBTS Same for me this year … As I get into the 700s, shield woods is appearing much more often. Since I do not make good enough/often contact, I lose those games more often than not.
Highest was 768 and that was when I had the Oakland A‘s Theme Team on for me :).

It's the same for me. To top it off I can't pitch . I have trouble getting perfects on pin point and inevitably put it right down the middle . I don't know how my opponents get perfects on like 80% of their pitches . Absolute dots.
You gotta practice it in single player and really cocentrate. I do perfects over 90% of the time, but I worked hard being able to do it over the course of the game. Still, some pitchers do make it harder for me to… e.g. John Donaldson (and I do not know why)
-
Pitchers with lower control attributes are a lot harder to get perfect with pinpoint

When you get around hall of fame and struggle, something that will help is custom practice. Turn your in game settings to competitive from casual or simulation, then put the difficulty up high but the trick is, don’t use hall of fame if you struggle with it.
Pick legend for pitching and batting.
A lot of ppl don’t know but whenever you are playing against the cpu on say all star, that same all star game against online players is actually called all star +.
It makes it out to help the playing field and make it more competitive but if I am about to play hof on dd I go change the settings.
TLDR you can find this in the in game strategy guide.
Practice on a level higher than you’re used to against cpu to get accustomed to online diamond dynasty.
Hof vs cpu=hof
Hof vs ranked player=hof + -
@LookatTheRhino_PSN I’ll try that, Thank you!

If you go into a game against the cpu, you
can pause and go to settings and there’s a
strategy guide with really helpful info about everything on the game .A 99 contact 99 power hitter willhit more line drives and homeruns
than a 60 contact 60 power hitter.A 99 contact 60 power hitter willhit even more line drives, but fewer homeruns.
A 60 contact 99 power hitter willhit fewer line drives, but will hit
every hit type slightly harder than even the99 contact 99 power hitter in orderto compensate for their fewer balls
put into play. -
I'd simply ask for Legend players stay in Legend at the start of new seasons. Also, I wish this game mode went strong until release of new title.
-
No thank you.
-
What if you get to pick your difficulty but once you pick it you have to stay in that difficulty until that season ends. Or if they made a slider that you can put it how far you want to stop it at. Like if you want to stop at 600 or 800 that how far you go. They have to do something because not everyone wants to play on hall of fame or legend.
-
@MoeBuug68_XBL That would lead to lots of good players picking lower difficulties just to beat up those ppl who demand such things.
Guys, try to get better, live with losing to better people and/or try to face the challenge. That is what ranked is for. If you are playing for fun, pick other modes or live by the result. As long as there is no incentive for the goons to go to World Series/Legend (an icon and/or „some“ stubs is not it), you will have to face them.
-
Why does it matter that you make World Series if you're not getting the same rewards as everyone else on each difficulty level?
-
@YOSHI24_XBL I have made it to world series multiple of times and I have even made it to 980. I was pushing to get to a 1000 but I just quit. Because there is no point even getting that far with no good rewards after that and it just a game. I was jumping into practice mode everyday and playing that 10 to 15 minutes a day just to get good in this game. I know about hard work and practicing a lot because I play four instruments. And ranked rewards to me is not worth it anymore. All the stubs and cards that I have gotten came from only playing mini seasons. And that is way more rewarding playing mini seasons than playing ranked. Yes, it does get boring sometimes but it way better than playing ranked that it takes 45 minutes to over hour just to play one game. And that is not on top of the other stuff you have to deal with playing ranked. I was throwing a suggesting out there to help out or to see what people thought about it. A lot of people don't have the time to practice 15 to 20 minutes a day. They just want to jump in and have fun. That is why sds needs to turn casual mode into a rewarding experience. Where you can get card, pxp etc and just have fun in that mode.

World series I think should remain hard for most people to get to.
I agree with people here that if you want to do good on hall of fame you have to go into practice mode and put some time in. Before I play ranked I go into practice on hof difficulty with Fb slider speed all the way up. I start lefty lefty hitting against randy. Just fastballs inside as strikes to get my timing and confidence down. Then I have him pitch inside and outside and I try to not swing at outside pitches and turn on the inside pitches. This is to try to speed up my ability to pickup location.
I typically don't practice hitting off speed because I don't want to practice for an hour.
Going into a real game I carry this same approach. Sit inside fast pitches until 2 strikes and try to not be late.
A good opponent will figure out my strategy but a bad one will not. Alot of players just mindlessly throw the same routine of pitches.
On all star I can react and hit all strikes at any part of the zone without sitting. On hof I kind've have to sit altho I typically sit inside and not in a specific quadrant.
Usually if I'm late on everything in practice and my pci is all over the place then I know today is not the day for me.... Other days I crush everything and I go in with lots of confidence
Another practice drill I sometimes do (with just fastballs) is I don't leave practice until I've hit 10 balls in a row over 100mph. The outcome doesn't matter just over 100mph because that's telling me I'm squaring up everything in different locations

Jepp, I tried to make the point with this incentive-thing. And if ranked stays like it is AND you could choose, people would choose the fun side and beat up people on lower difficulties. Because there is no incentive to play for WS
And ranked like it is would be absurd if everybody could choose the difficulty. It is the only competitive mode there is -
@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN Because I would like to have something to aim for but I know AS difficulty is what I enjoy playing on. Just would be nice to not be forced into 2 hit shutouts that aren’t fun to me.

Lowering the barrier for reaching a goal is not how it works (in life)… If the modes stay as there are: play events and/or BR. If you want to reach the highes level you gotta play the highest level and you gotta invest.
The last few years I really worked and managed to get to 895 and 897 (this year I did not reach 800). That was hard work but it was very rewarding getting to see me get better in the game…. although it was very frustrating to lose my ws-game a couple of times
-
@YOSHI24_XBL Yeah I’m not a fan of 3 inning games, That’s not baseball to me.
You are absolutely right about real life not lighting up lol…But luckily this is a video game
…I just think there’s room for average Joe’s to enjoy making WS too. I felt my suggestion would allow that to happen because it’s not taking anything away from good players who would still play on the HOF & legend. And it’s not cheapening the “elite” rewards.
