Multiplayer Program Flaw

@GoozeFn_PSN My apologies, but yes! I agree, and that's where my frustration lies I suppose. Is because there's no incentive for people to finish games it makes it very hard to complete this. Will I still finish it? Maybe. But right now its really frustrating.

Online missions and missions in general have been quite annoying and regressed over 24 and 25 compared to where we were.
The doubles missions seriously need to stop. I shouldn’t have to play in the least hitter friendly ballparks to get a hitting mission done. It’s not my fault that the game’s hitting engine is so boom or bust. I almost completed most teams’ single season HR records before I got 25 doubles with the respective teams for team affinity.
I completed multiplayer 2 program’s 3rd drop through all events. It took 11 games to hit 16 HRs. It took 20 games to get 15 doubles. I hit 28 HRs while trying to hit the 15 doubles. But even that’s misleading; I actually hit like 12 doubles and 3 triples, but I had to stop at second because of the mission, while having a couple HRs dashboarded.
And even that’s misleading, because I was using a lot of extreme pull hitters and just ambushing outside hoping to get doubles against the shift instead of trying to have quality ABs.
They already learned this lesson back when everyone complained about doubles missions in 18 and they went to XBH missions in 19 because of it. And now we’re just regressing backwards.
Saves missions are the same, whether online or offline. I shouldn’t have to stop trying to hit in order to get a mission done. I shouldn’t have to IBB people to get a mission done. Heck, with saves missions in ranked in 24, I would have to start openers instead of a SP. If I got a lead quickly, I would go RP (opener, doesn’t get win because of 5 IP requirement) -> RP (pitcher of record / winning pitcher) -> SP (out of the bullpen) in order to get the SP to earn a save when the opponent quit early.
Online missions shouldn’t require you to suck. Saves missions require you to play worse. Like @trfatboy22_PSN should probably just stop hitting once he has a 1 run lead in ranked if he wants to earn saves. Hope he can hold the lead, or start hitting again if he blows it. Doubles missions require you to try to hit worse.
Heck, through 14 games in the last moonshot event, I had given up only 1 HR. Some of us are actually good pitchers. To get the 3 HRs given up mission done, I had to intentionally throw it down the middle of the plate. That’s just stupid. And it’s two years in a row that they’ve put in a mission to intentionally give up HRs online.
Every year, the developers act like they play the game. I genuinely don’t believe them for a second. People who actually play the game would not make such stupid decisions. They’re just trolling us, over and over again. And it’s ridiculous.
-
@trfatboy22_PSN you don’t have control over winning? lol but you do.
-
The saves were pretty easy to get in the event. Had it done in like an hour while also knocking out a bunch of other stuff.
-
It’s always the same problem: people want all the rewards without doing all the requirements.
Play the game, see where you’re at near the end of the program. Nobody is entitled to everything. The most difficult ones are meant for people that are either great players and/or play a ton.
-
Well, they could make Home Runs a requirement again and all your opponents could dashboard when the ball is in mid-flight.

Exactly this … If you want the big reward (50-bundle), you gotta play … The program is not designed to be done within 2-3 hours.
And: You do not have to complete it

@trfatboy22_PSN
No, it doesn't. You're saying it's a flaw in the multiplayer program. Claiming there's a flaw in a program you have clearly no desire in participating in or committing to, gives you no credibility.If you want all the rewards, play all the game.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN
Too sweaty to win 1 out 6 games? Because that's the equivalent of going .500 in RS, in terms of trying to achieve saves. -
@TubaTim90_PSN Its a flaw because you don't control your opponent quitting the game. And this happens in nearly every game.
-
@trfatboy22_PSN
Again, not in events or BR. The answer is in front of you; it's not a flaw if you don't like it.I'm trying really hard not to sound condescending, but if multiplayer is too hard for you, then you need to get better at the game in order to obtain multiplayer-specific rewards...
-
@TubaTim90_PSN People do still quit in events. All the time. And regardless you shouldn't have to play modes that let high ranked players stomp all over worse players in order to complete things. These are Grinding missions, you don't have to be good to get them. That's what WS and Flawless rewards are for. Those are the ones that reward skill. So even your second argument is objectively incorrect. Not to mention irrelevant to this conversation.
I finished the first MP program no problem and I will probably finish this one too. But having a stat based mission for a stat that your opponent can just quit the game and deny you is inherently flawed. Regardless if you think people don't do it or haven't experienced it. I have and what you are saying isn't a solution to the problem at hand. You just wanna be a "git gud" kinda guy and that's fine. But take it elsewhere because it's not productive.
-
@TubaTim90_PSN I don’t know his ability. It’s definitely the most difficult mode to win a game online.
-
@trfatboy22_PSN Id say quitting in events is even worse than before. It’s true that the majority of games don’t go all the way.
-
Maybe they should just add into the multiplayer programs things like “5 completed event games”, or br or ranked to encourage people to not quit mid-game. It’d make it easier to finish other objectives like saves, etc but also reward people if they are outmatched to hang in there for points to compete the program.
-
@Virusrev_MLBTS That is actually a good point … Maybe we all (even if we pretend, that we „NEVER“
quit) play the game it is supposed to be played (e.g. „the final out“) … If you want to have a save, then you should allow somebody to have a save too …I get the feeling, that blaming others (in this case SDS) is easier than giving a good example.
And if you want to play like you want, then you should not complain about things like this (completed games would be awesome too
) -
@GoozeFn_PSN
That’s just not true though. By definition, RS is the most sweaty mode. At least in BR there’s a fairly consistent matchmaking system -
@TubaTim90_PSN No, what you’re saying is not true at all. You’re matched with people around your skill level in ranked. BR is full of goons that can go 10-0. There’s no reason to even play BR anymore if you can’t go 10-0.

I played a bunch of online (ranked) the last couple days. Somehow got up to 600,but only one save
Tried event. Full of WS icons and people with .400+ averages (I know moonshot just happened but still)I only had one game against someone around my skill level, and lost it.
Went backed to ranked and miraculously had a guy finish an 11-2 game and got a three inning save
Nimmo needs to get supercharged again, hes carried me (Topps Now gave him a card, please please please put that in game)
