This Game is Darn Near Unplayable Online
-
I've had maybe more fun than I've ever had playing offline this year, but online is nearly unplayable. The whole thing is just an RNG-fueled nightmare determined completely by who happens to get rewarded with the most solo HRs.
I just got done with a weekend classic game and ohhhhhh boy was it a doozy. I can't even be mad because it's such a good example of what I've been frustrated with for months.
I had 10 hard hit balls (95+ exit velo) which resulted in 6 singles, 2 doubles, a 101mph double play ball, and a flyball to dead center that died on the track
My opponent had 11 hard hit balls which resulted in 7 solo HRs, 3 doubles, and a single.
I had 1 or 2 "perfect/perfects" and my opponent had maybe 3 so that's not the explanation for the difference.
To add insult to injury, my opponent also struck out 10 times to my 7, meaning I had only one fewer hard hit ball but three fewer strikeouts, but I lost 8-1
At first I thought it was just the normal ebb and flow of RNG, but it's been almost 2 months now of me trying to win while getting HRs on a SIGNIFICANTLY lower percentage of my hits. It's gotten to the point where I'm genuinely wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Was there a shift in the meta at some point I didn't pick up on? Is everyone using power swing now? Is there something I'm doing wrong as a pitcher that the hard hit balls I give up are HRs a staggering percentage of the time instead of even hard hit singles and doubles?
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I play this game to compete online, but it's getting so frustrating at this point it's barely worth playing....

I don’t have any issues online. There’s some games i think i deserve to win and I don’t and there are some games I didn’t deserve to win and i did. The large majority of them the better player one for sure. I just don’t get hung up on a single game at all.

Ive never been able to hit online. At least you get some results... I've lost games with 20+ strikeouts allowing 1 hit and lose 1-0. Its frustrating especially for someone who isnt a good hitter to have perfect perfect outs, but i just tell myself... thats how baseball can really go sometimes and keep trying. I think my ranked batting average is like .190 right now, but my ERA is really good. I can pitch and play defense, but I absoluteky suck at hitting.

OP we get it your opponent played better than you and that’s ok.

It’s been so bad for me a good majority of the time I’ll ask for a friendly and quite often get it because my opponent realizes I’m getting screwed. Yesterday I tried to play a match in gold 2 WC. I hit everything hard. The ball was hit with a noodle man. Even with schwarver P5 and a perfect hit my ball died at the track. Nothing made any sense. My players as of late have been advancing on their own. It’s gotten so bad for me that I feel like I’m actually going crazy over it. I come on here and complain and feel like I’m one of the only ones this happens to. I watch content creators and while I see it happen to them it’s not near the rate I’m dealing with. I can go 2-22 in a round on goods. It’s truly mind boggling and I’m completely dumbfounded by it. Sometimes I go as far as thinking because I constantly gripe on the forums SDS tampered with my account. But obviously that’s pushing it but boy has it really made me scratch my head this year. Typically o can go in on chat after the match and my opponent will a knowledge that I was getting screwed but ya man it’s weird and unexplainable. People on here are gonna tell you your in ur head. I think my location amongst some other things just has it out for me this year somehow other than the few one in 5 or one in 6 matches

Content creators are pieces of [censored]. All of them. Personally, I think they're packs are artificially juiced and I really don't think Koogs can beat the [censored] out of a World Series players with bronzes and silvers. I mean come on.
