Grant Taylor

Dustin may and Danny columbine also had this issue to name a few others. But Taylor is extra brutal with the speed. Seems to jump out of his “hand” and teleport to the spot
-
It's been glitched all year, people are just seeing it now because he got a better card.
They're not fixing it.
This^ have his life series Parallel 3 from the moonshot event lmao. I couldn’t believe they gave him a 94 but oh well. Just go into practice and figure out how to hit him. Sometimes he’s easy, other times not so much.
-
The team is looking into Grant Taylor to see if his animation is bugged or not.
I'll keep everyone posted as necessary, but in the meantime, feel free to continue adding your experiences to this thread.
Thanks!

Thank you @sds_joek_psn! It’s only out of the windup. Looks very similar to how Clemens was last year before the patch. Like a stutter and the ball leaves his forearm rather than his hand. Hard to explain. Stretch is totally fine.
-
Just so strange that I haven't seen anyone bring him out of the pen with a runner on. Must be a coincidence.
-
@TH3L1GHT_PSN his release out of the stretch is normal, which makes him much harder to pitch with
-
@SDS_JoeK_PSN have yall looked at hader and king?

Probably, then got caught looking and went back to the dugout, sat down, upset being struck out yet again, not able to fix......
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN it was sarcasm. Thank you for the genuine response though for anyone who didn't know.
-
it was sarcasm
aw, dang it
-
Is this an online thing because I've faced him in the mini season and didn't notice anything. Just curious.
-
Ah oh now we're seeing the other side again. ANOTHER glitched pitcher, but SDS is refusing to communicate or do anything about this again. Why? Well because this DOES NOT affect SDS. It only affects players, but hey at least it's just the wined up delivery that's glitched. He's still hittable and in the stretch he is BP. Just don't watch the pitcher like normal focus at the shoulder because that's where the ball in his delivery spawns from.
-
…..SDS is refusing to communicate….
Roll back about ten posts
-
@sds_joek_psn Dustin May had this problem recently too, I know he’s likely to get a diamond card soon. Please have the team look into him as well
-
Hasn't Dustin May been like that since at least '23?

If it affects the people that play our game, it affects us, and we understand that.
The team is working very hard on a number of issues that are of concern to the community -- Grant Taylor, Hader/King, and many others.
It's been a while since I've said this, and it bears repeating: Sometimes circumstances make it easier for us to give updates on these things and sometimes they don't. But please don't take a lack of public updates to mean that nothing is being done.
These things can take time and require a lot of internal coordination -- Making the team aware of an issue, being able to reproduce it and find a fix, testing and implementing that fix, and messaging out the fix are all important parts of the process and have to be considered.
Just to offer some friendly insights here.
In this case (Grant Taylor), I can say that this does seems to be a bug and the team is looking into it. I'll keep everyone updated appropriately as much as possible.
Thanks!

@SDS_JoeK_PSN Thank you JoeK for an update. I long ago did a research project in college on software engineering and testing. I know how much goes in to design and test, so thanks for letting the public hear that!
-
@SDS_JoeK_PSN Thanks, Joe. I really appreciate the context and the transparency here.
I wish more people understood that a lack of public updates doesn’t mean nothing is happening behind the scenes. There’s obviously a lot that goes into identifying, reproducing, testing, fixing, and communicating these issues.
Thanks for continuing to bridge the gap between the community and the team. Please don’t let the louder negative comments get to you. Plenty of us understand the time, staffing, budgets, and testing involved, and we appreciate the work you and the team are putting in.
It’s still a great game that a lot of us (even the folks complaining) are playing every day.
-
Don't get me wrong -- those negative comments can be important too in many ways!
My intention here certainly isn't to write people who have negative opinions (I know that's not what you're suggesting here).
It's understandable -- there's a lot of negative happening. There are also a lot of people that feel like we're ignoring certain things, and while I can understand that too, I just wanted to throw out a little context that hopefully shows, for what it's worth, that those issues aren't being ignored.
I know that won't land for everyone and that's totally ok.

Anything about cheaters? They have to know this is a huge issue. IMO, cheaters do way more harm than a king/hader/taylor (although I agree they should definitely be fixed as well) glitch.
I know people want to bury their head in the sand when it comes to cheaters but all online games are infested. I do think since they are connected to the consoles, it should have been handled by Sony/Microsoft years ago. They should have never put this on the game devs in the first place but here we are. Very few games are actually doing anything about it. Back in the day GTA placed cheaters in their own servers.
