Game is Awful

@m_caraballo24_PSN how bout the smoked [censored] rockets right at infielders? I swear it happens like 5 times per game.

@Talkingben9558_XBL
Besides telling a troll he’s odd when he constantly butts in on people’s criticism you are incorrect and completely wrong. Nice try and quit fibbing it’s silly man. Move on -
@m_caraballo24_PSN Which game? MLB?

It is pretty crazy how many outs I get on perfect perfects. Today I hit a perfect perfect with Willie Mays - fly out at the fence. I hit the same pitch next time at bat with Mays and it was “good” contact and “slightly early” - no doubt HR lol
Why don't I see that out listed as a Perfect in the game log? It does not show May[censored]ting a perfect/perfect in any of the three logged games. I think I glanced at like your last 8 games and did not see a single perfect perfect out.
Perfect Contact Hits (Perfect-Perfect)
Schmitt: 104 mph (Schmitt homered to right (438 feet). 1 RBI)Perfect Contact Hits (Perfect-Perfect)
Seager: 107 mph (Seager homered to center (453 feet). 1 RBI)
Schwarber: 109 mph (Schwarber lined to center for a single. )
Rolen: 111 mph (Rolen lined to left for a single. )
Judge: 106 mph (Judge homered to center (492 feet). 1 RBI)Perfect Contact Hits (Perfect-Perfect)
McCovey: 111 mph (McCovey grounded to center for a single. McCovey advances to 2nd. )Sure, it happens. I am not denying that but I don't think it happens nearly as much as people claim.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good lie.

@The_Joneser_PSN I laughed way too hard at this….thank you.
-
@m_caraballo24_PSN well if your judgment of intelligence is based on your spelling and grammar, you’re in big trouble.
Also this post you started is just a cry fest, no solutions just crying because I’m guessing you lost your last mini season game on rookie, so you came here congrats.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN thank you. Is it frustrating? Absolutely. If you played baseball at all, heck just through High School, you understand this is part of the game. The only people who don’t understand this (for the most part) are people who have never played baseball except on their (insert gaming system).
-
It's the worst It has been for years. It's a video game. Good input should win 99% of the time. Reality is good contact hardly gets you anything in this game. The developers are making millions though. They couldn't care less. As long as the turds keep playing and spending money
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN -- Thanks for this callout. We'll look into this.
-
I just threw a 1 hitter in the classic and lost 1-0. It’s not just you bro.
-
@platewelder_363_PSN But that 1 hit was a HR. You only had 4 hits and twice you were thrown out trying to take an extra base. 1 of those 4 hits was a bunt single too. Your opponent had the only perfect perfect out of the game. Looks to me like he outplayed you.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN did he though? He wasn’t really close in 26 at bats. I got thrown out at third trying to take an extra base. The only reason I went was cuz the CF had trouble picking up the ball…..AT THE WALL. So yeah, I went for it. Guy had 66 speed. Should’ve been enough. It didn’t work out. He won so hats off, but does getting lucky and running into one mean I got outplayed? Btw, the pitch he hit out was supposed to be high and tight but it carried over the plate. I put it where I wanted it. I didn’t miss time or anything. It just didn’t go there. It is what it is.
-
@platewelder_363_PSN Yes. Sometimes that’s how it goes. I had a bad weekend classic this time around. I wasn’t playing well, but I’m not blaming it on the game. How are you going to be mad about losing a game where you had 4 hits, 2 of which you ran into an out and 1 was a bunt hit?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN who said I was mad bro? I believe I just said it is what it is. Just commenting on some frustrations. I shall endeavor to play mistake free before commenting again. Sorry I wasted your time.
-
I’m really feeling this currently. I played 1 weekend classic game with a lot of the new cards with 100+ power, and good timing/good contact was a line out/flyout everytime. Dude won 1-0 from a solo shot.
Same with Diamond Quest today, everything was a lazy flyout good timing/good contact with the new Harper, Diaz, and Adell cards. Hate that it feels this bad going into All Star content, because I’m kind of turnt off from playing rn. Just feels too scripted like EA games.
-
Lol....some of the complaints about this game can be ridiculous but the show boys that constantly defend the indefensible (not saying this thread absolutely fits that category) are absolutely hysterically embarrassing. Face it fan boys, the game has major issues and has been in steady decline for about 4 years. It still has its appeal, and if you love baseball it still can deliver at times, but it's quest for the almighty dollar and lack of ways to build on the franchise has sent it into the all to familiar arcade style game nose dive. It was inevitable and it's ok, you'll meet someone else.....

@Ledfoot_19_PSN IMO all of the issues with this game can be summed up by 3 things: connections, servers and DDA. I highly doubt the coding in the game is that big of an issue. When those 3 things are good, the game plays great. Problem is 99% of the time, one of those are affecting the game.
Have you ever noticed that streamers rarely run into these issues? Have you noticed that most of the top players in this game are close to server cities with notoriously bad internet? Have you noticed when you are up by 4 your players run slower, get thrown out more? This is why you don't try to get extra bases or steal when you are up. That is the DDA kicking in. How about when you are up and all the sudden all your good swings are outs?
If you truly analyze everything you see without worrying about wins and losses, these issues are blaring and very noticeable. I have no intention or never will be a top 50 player in this game. I am almost 56. The game play is very bad due to those things. SDS could really make the game a much more enjoyable experience with better connections and servers.

While everything you say is valid and accurate that covers the online aspect. The offline game has become bad arcade like rather than sim. In a real MLB game you won't see the following;
I don't care how good an arm a guy has nobody is catching a ball on the right center field warning track and gunning out a guy with decent speed tagging from 2nd to 3rd by 2 feet.
You won't see a ball hit for a line drive a few feet over the pitchers head with 108 EV and 9 degree launch angle stay in the air until it reaches the centerfielders glove in mid center field.
You won't see 6 to 8 amazing highlight reel diving and jumping catches in one game.
You won't see a wild pitch per game.
You won't see pitchers throw 3 to 5 pitches 2 feet off the plate but also dot the edges of the strike zone 3 to 5 times all in the same at bat, every at bat.
You won't see players blast fat pitches right at someone 95% of the time but then blast a HR on a just late swing at a ball across their belt buckle.
Add in that for some magic reason Rookie and Veteran, maybe all difficulties are different depending on what you play. If a I play Rookie on vs CPU I've put up 30 runs a game. Play Rookie on Conquest and 7 out 10 games end 1-0. I can still strike out 7 to 8 batters every game but you won't blast the ball around like vs CPU.
DDA or RNG, whatever we want to call exists in all games and I understand it's need in sports but all to often it replaces skill and knowledge of the sport in which we are playing. Sports games inevitably take the turn down the arcade road because you can't offer much change to a sim sport and developers end up losing any care for what hardcore sports guys want. They just try and keep the kiddos and the streamers happy while finding new ways to milk wallets.
Just my opinion
