Suggestions for SDS that they won't listen to
-
-
Create an all Strikes mode- If anyone remembers the 2K games, there was an option to turn on all strikes where you couldn't physically throw a ball. Give the people this option in some online game modes if they want to. A lot of people are strapped for time and don't want to sit there taking 45 of the 100 pitches they see. Make people throw it in the zone and let people swing at everything.

Don't make the difficulty go to legend until someone reaches 1000+ rating, GOAT 1100+.
I think a lot of people are huge fans of playing on HOF. The game is challenging but it's not a slug fest like AS, but not a 3-2 game on 5 hits like legend. The issue now is that HOF is only 700-900, so you only have limited games on HOF. I have no interest playing on legend, so I try to play only a few games of ranked a week so I don't get to 900 with 2 weeks left in the season and have to sit there striking out on legend for 2 weeks before I go back to HOF. -
Make Weekend Classic count towards overall record- After you play your 6 games, it becomes casual mode basically. There's no incentive to winning other than a pack because it doesn't affect rating or record, so you get a bunch of people who once they get down 1-0, they just quit.
-
Fix the randomness- This goes without saying, but the game is way too random. When two guys who are close to a similar skill play, it comes down to who the game gives a a HR to on late timing hit or who the game lets hit a very early HR.

I don't see this ever being a thing in Diamond Dynasty. In non-diamond dynasty modes though then I say yeah, why not.
The only argument against that is that advancement in DD is tied to XP and if the pitcher only throws strikes then chances are the XP gain per time spent since batters would get more hits and earn more XP quicker.

@tttmerig_PSN HOF has been 700-900 the last 5 years (at least).
-
RTTS is basically an all-strikes mode if you fiddle with the sliders enough.

Get rid of the Pitcher wall.
Get rid of the line drive to 1st then touch the base double play. Happens every game. -
@tttmerig_PSN Here’s a simple one: make all the modes in DD play the same. For example, Rookie in vs CPU play the same as Rookie in DQ play the same as Rookie in Conquest play the same as a Rookie Moment play the same as a Rookie Showdown.
Would solve a bunch of our frustration issues.

There's a slider in Franchise and RTTS that will let you do just that. I think it's "frequency of strikes." If you're trying to get used to timing on a certain difficulty, it's a great thing to use.

@hoosfirst_PSN Cryyyyy, i hate baseball! Get rid of the fielders all together! I can't believe they have those guys out there making me get out! Cryyyy. That's what you sound like.

None of these suggestions seem like crying to me. Let's keep things productive, please.
