CPU Super Dotting & Other Nonsense
-
I'd actually say the offline content is worse...getting the two Jolts per team is pretty easy and the foam fingers are pretty useless and just PxP grind. It used to be TA was supposed to last the season, and it was nice when it tied into MtO, but I've read elsewhere they are not adding to it this season. Outside of the WBC content the programs have been couple hour grind each, so as someone who's done MLB the Show since 17 (I think) this has been by far the worst/most barebones offline content.

Once the game is on PC I will undo all the nonsense from the CPU as it happens. Cpu dotted strike? REMOVED, super dive from a common fielder? OUTS REMOVED AND BATTER UP ONCE MORE. No more suffering once the PC version comes out. And once I hit 20 attempts on a moment, UNLOCKED
So instead of getting better your choice will be to cheat yourself? I mean moments can be frustrating but usually not that hard. Even the Muncy 3 hr extreme moment wasn't that bad 5 tries I think. It's about practice and choosing pitches to swing at. "Undoing" something because you don't like the result won't make you better.

@Rhyno1986_XBL The problem is "play your way" was some sort of mantra they were pushing yet Moments end up being required for nearly everything (I say nearly because I've noticed you can do Spotlights to completion and skip the moments). I will admit they've made moments much easier than in the past (anyone remember the Griffey father/son HRs one?) but why push a narative of letting people play their way then gateway pretty much everything with Moments. IMO every moment should have a matching "grind" so that if a moment is too hard they can accomplish it another way. For instance a player moment "hit a HR" could be matched with "10 HRs in offline gameplay" or some such.

It's not just the super dotting, it's the CPU defenders all being gold glovers no matter what their attributes are.

This is the single biggest issue. I’ve seen defenders fly to the ball and then fire a canon to 2nd base without even taking a step, just watch the ball fly out of their hand as soon as they grab it.

There’s nothing passive about their aggressive push to herd you into that toxic online RNG sewer.
As for fielders, ever notice how almost every time a ball hits the wall, it’s as if the fence hands it straight to the CPU OF?
Can’t have too many triples now, can we? How many times have you been thrown out at second on a gap shot? -
Completed all offline programs and still at like 100K xp so yes there isn’t [censored] to do offline. Guessing you are an online player and if so good for you but stop making judgements on offline. Unless you want to grind mini seasons over and over again once TA is done there is nothing to do.

What moment is too hard? Even the latest extreme moment is on All-star. I completed it in 5 attempts. The only extreme moments that have been super hard are the extreme ones on HoF. Veteran moments are not that hard to complete.

This is why I have uninstalled the game. It's way to sweaty for me even on the lower difficulties and I agree they are pushing people to play multiplayer. Thats another reason ive uninstalled also. Multiplayer is toxic, full of cheaters and its broken in my experiences. This game isnt fun. Just a chore.

How many times have you been thrown out at second on a gap shot?The one I like the most is 90%(or greater) when the CPU OF dives for it, it hits him and stays near him just about never gets passed him, though I dislike diving/jumping altogether, as it's almost always low fielding/low react/ slow guys that do it and come up with it to rob you

It's funny to me how the offline player base is saying that they're pushing people to play online; however, the online player base is pushing the exact opposite theory.

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN nothing more than a symptom of SDS not doing the best job of catering to either base. both sides have legitimate things that they can point to to explain why they see things that way.

No play your way isn't a lie like pci shrinkage being removed was. You can play your way, you don't have to do the moments to complete the programs. You don't have to play events, DQ, conquest, BR, ranked or anything else. But yes the rewards in those areas might not be available to you if you don't. Doesn't mean they are forcing you by saying if you don't you CAN'T complete anything. Heck I even think all the event and half the DQ rewards you can but off the market.
