This game is way too hard for beginners
-
@jenkinmeyer_psn yup! Just the other day, played JR conquest and struggled on vet (even lost a game) before finishing. Low scoring games. With my “God squad”.
Followed that up with a vs CPU game in Coors with a bunch of Topps now and NGL and rookie cards to finish JR XP. On vet. Put up 20 runs.
Much, much, much different games.
-
The only difference I see between this year is CPU lays off the outside slider/circle change more.
There was a change made last year I feel to make the CPU pitch better. They do a LOT of low pitches which are the toughest IMO to not get fooled on. They also attack the outside corner as well. Further, I feel Commons and bronze have way too much break and control.

Diamond Dynasty is not meant for beginners and SDS would also prefer that most people in the mode play online for the majority of the time.
Also, if you play with timing or directional hitting it gets a lot easier when the 99s that don't have flaws come out. Would I prefer that Rookie mode be easier for my old and declining reflexes? Yes. Does it benefit SDS to make it that way? No.
-
One other factor worth considering:
Anyone who's been playing for more than a month was used to running out all-99 lineups. Now that the season has re-started, there's a lot more golds and (dare I say) silvers being used. Maybe, just maybe, the fact you haven't rebuilt the super-team yet is why it seems harder than it did just a few months ago.

@markemark_NSW oh ok my apologies but imo 26 is way easier then 25 the amount of bloop hits u get this year is crazy. This year as the “worse” player u can still win as last year the better player won 95 percent of the time this year is literally a coin toss as to who wins.
I agree with your assessment 100%. The gameplay is much better than last year. Not remotely close to good but better. Maybe from an F to a D+ or C-. There are other things in this game that plague it worse than being able to hit or pitch this year. Quite honestly when I played events it wasn't all that bad, I got my Biz card my 2 Jackie Robinson packs and said deuces.

@theblindrhino_psn I'm pretty surprised that you don't even understand what he said. If opinions are offending you, ignore them. It cannot be that deep that you have to drag on the conversation. Get over it.

Stop right there. Why should playing with legends flashbacks tons of other baseball players be gated by “you’re not good enough to use these legends you scrub” sort of mentality
People that play offline or in franchise and game modes you don’t enjoy shouldn’t have to engage in this [censored]. They’d like to play say, WBC with the WBC players without having to be railroaded into the gacha system.
Whether you suck or not at something shouldn’t exclude you from content
Some people would love to play franchise with the new cards and vast assortment of players. Let them, what is the harm?

They can, they're called the Free Agents, Mid-Century Groundbreakers, Expansion Era Boomers, and Long Ball Beasts.
I am not sure you know this, even if it has been in the game for over a decade now.

Are those set rosters? I don’t know or have a clue but I know if I were a franchise player, it would be way more fun to have some legends or whatever sprinkled in instead of playing with outdated rosters and just SDS’s general horrible rating system on players.
If Joe Schmoe is a 64 bronze (according to their 3-year criteria or whatever criteria they use) why does he also have a 95 diamond?
Is he 64 or 95
There’s crazy ratings ranges that have never made sense to me thus rendering live series entirely useless
“Well he got a base hit last week so clearly 200/103, 65 power left 85 right. 99 speed”
They undermine LEGENDS with Topps now cards

Guessing you have no life. Congrats. Glad a video game defines your identity. For the rest of the normal people out there we have made very clear points that are obviously way too far above your level of intelligence. We are all super impressed that you can mash on legend though. Does that help feed your massive ego?

I’ve said this for years and have been a WS player every one of those. My niece is 7 and can win on Fifa at the lowest difficulty 5-0 every game. It would take her years to be able to score five runs in this game. Not that she wants to, plays it, or has interest, but I’m sure some kids do. I’m sure some people with bad eyes, slow reflexes or mental issues wanted to try it and did for a hour at the most.
I played RTTS last night because I’m sort of waiting for Friday. I played on Allstar. I play every DD game on legend for the bonus PXP. I got pV on Bobby Witt in less than 60 at bats. I promise you I had “solid contact +5” on EVERY dynamic challenge and didn’t complete a single challenge for the bonuses through high school and have one college game left. What type of new player would have enough fun failing every challenge lol.
Who are we gate keeping from completing offline content? Kids? Retired people? Mentally disabled? What is the point….just make rookie automatic like every other sports game. They aren’t about to take over BR and win millions of stubs….thats what cheaters are doing.

@TripleH-4481_PSN Lol mash on legend? He’s just another guy that thinks you can’t see his stats and wanted to sound cool. His 99 Felix is 13-19 with a 5.31 era….OFFLINE. Zero ranked games (who woulda thought)…just in the lab grinding lmao
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN I want to piggy back off this because I agree 1000 percent. Stop coming in here insinuating people suck. Everyone has a right to enjoy this game without getting pounded on and told to get better. You do not want to jump online and play nothing but pros every game! Unfortunately that is what's starting to happen now. Why do you think the 500 rank is so hard to get past now. Wrong attitude to have.
-
@jenkinmeyer_psn They are.
-
@Ditka06_MLBTS yeah as a decent online player I’m a ws player who plays well over 500 ball and I will try to restrain from calling anybody bad at the game. tbh if a player comes online and gets it handed to them I respect them for even venturing online. I get everybody gets there joy in different forms the gaming community needs to work on this and become more accepting of people having fun. like not everybody is pros not everybody can hit on all-star or hof and that’s ok as long as ur having a good time while doing it people just gotta learn to do them and not worry what other people think.
