Different Batters Views / Batting Inputs Must Not Be Allowed In Ranked Games
-
@dap1234567890_PSN Sometimes you have to listen to good ideas when presented. My idea would not make the game any less fun... just more balanced. Is balance bad?
-
@Squid_Adams_MLBTS The settings we all use are allowed. Steroids are a banned substance and not allowed. See the difference genius?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN Love that you used the dictionary to construct that post haha.
-
@Squid_Adams_MLBTS Can someone point in the direction of a "good idea" in this thread? I think there must be one person who can determine what a "good idea" is and how it differs from a "bad idea". I just can't seem to figure out who that person should be. Any help?
-
@Squid_Adams_MLBTS Good one.
-
There's no getting better at a game that's as inconsistent as this game is. I have plenty of games I blow my opponent out... but those are no fun either, because they always disconnect around the 4th or 5th inning. The getting better part is just me switching to the crotch view.

Hmmm, do you come up with excuses much? The game plays the same for everyone. So, no one is at a disadvantage because of how the game plays.

@dap1234567890_PSN You probably think a Juan Pierre card with 125 power would be a good idea. You want MLB Slugfest, I want a simulation experience. This game is trying to ride that line and it's a complete failure. Look at Metacritic user scores. I'm the majority on this, but the people who hate this game aren't fighting for it on the forums like me.
-
@dap1234567890_PSN If it's an excuse, why do people use Strikezone? Think about that. Do they like looking at bulges? What is the reason? It couldn't be that it make[censored]ting easy?
Think out your responses, man. You're firing away at a rapid pace and not doing yourself any favors.

@Squid_Adams_MLBTS So did the Dodgers in 2017 but the Astros got to keep their trophy anyway.

@Squid_Adams_MLBTS I suppose you have never heard of the 13 cognitive distortions posed by Dr. Aaron Beck. In this thread you are working your way to exhibiting all 13 of them. I am greatly impressed how some one can rack up so many of these cognitive distortions in a single thread. Sounds like all you have are "low IQ" responses full of cognitive distortions.
-
Normally when I lose a game I either play another one or take a break for a while.
-
@Squid_Adams_MLBTS . Let's put it like this you can't force someone to use a certain hitting view or hitting
-
@GoozeFn_PSN Should have never happened. That's when I stopped supporting the MLB. That World Series should be considered null/void and anyone responsible for taking part should be banned from baseball until they die (think Pete Rose) Rob Manfred is one of the worst things to happen to the sport. When something is wrong, I call it out.
-
@dap1234567890_PSN Elaborate on your hypothesis and how I fit each of the 13 cognitive distortions, please. Love that you're trying to make a higher IQ comment, but it just reads as "My community college professor recently told me about this."
-
@theBlindRhino_NSW I was leaning towards selling, but maybe your solution is more rational? Though I imagine, after any kind of break, I'll return to the same broken game I left. I took 4 years off this series hoping for improvements and it only seems to have gotten worse. I guess I should blame the enablers, most of which are in this thread.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW Very true. But I will campaign for SDS to do that. It would go a very long way to making this game consistently playable... and we all know that's true (even if it's tough for many to admit)
-
I think you should sell. Play single player games.
-
@theBlindRhino_NSW Basically what I did in those 4 years I took off lol. But video games are largely a social medium. Sure you can stick to Solitaire all the time, but then you're robbing yourself of the fun you might have had if you played Poker. This game is not completely broken. It CAN be an incredibly fun game. But you have to go through a lot of BS to get to that fun. The adjustments they'd have to make would be so incredibly small, which is why it's so frustrating to see the game in this state.
No one answered my question... maybe because it proves I'm right? If there's no advantage to using Strikezone batter view... then why do people take the time to go to the settings and make that adjustment? Do they like bulges? Or does it give them an advantage?
PS... as a Switch gamer myself... you should not be allowed to play XB or PS players online. Your hardware is far inferior and likely leads to more inconsistencies with how the game performs.
-
@Squid_Adams_MLBTS You can turn off cross play. You can join a league where everyone agrees to play a certain way. To declare that all online play should be restricted to one view and type of play is asinine. Some people use certain methods due to disabilities. So essentially we should get rid of ramps because everyone should be able to walk up stairs. Braille should be outlawed.
I use Strikezone because I like to concentrate on what matters in hitting a video baseball. I use zone hitting because it feels more realistic. I get destroyed in online play sometimes. Sometimes I think I lose to people who are not as good as I am. Sometimes I get lucky.
This whole thread just comes off as extremely myopic. SDS is never going to bend to your will. Nor should they. You are the minority here.
