I've never gotten past division series and never even finished with an above .500 record so I wish they'd throw some of that DDA my way. I always assumed the poor record was due to plate discipline so comically bad that even with contact swing I strike out all the time and hit below .200, but by the logic of posts like this I'm secretly the most elite player in the game and SDS just can't handle all my awesomeness so they work overtime to keep me down. Makes sense lol
DDA can only do so much. It will put you in positions to win a lot. Down 3, it will give you a few hits on absolutely horrible swings to get that tying run to the plate. What happens next? For people like you, you strike out. People like rebel put the pci on the ball with good timing. I'm sure you've won a ton of games you had no business winning.

Nothing against the person posting and it is frustrating to lose when you feel you played good enough to win. I just thought to be fair though in baseball which IMO the best sport of all the major sports it is a game that favors the pitcher and as everyone knows even the best hitters guys who are HOF caliber in real life arent successful 40% of the time while and the top hitters on the Show are at best .500 overall hitters meaning the best the game of baseball has to offer fails at hitting at least half the time combining The Show and real life. I read many times from a poster that they lost to a team that had × amount of strike outs. I have to assume the game was close in most cases and most likely not a 11 to 10 shoot out so I think what is missed is there people who are very disciplined in there hitting approach taking balls obviously and even good about llaying off pitchers pitches and that is a great approach but in this game if you match to hitters who are admittedly not goons who will mash anything on the screen the guy who may be flailing at many pitches does guess right and when he does hit from a attacking aggressive position leading to many of his or her hits to be XBH it is a risk reward approach and probably a good 1 if your not confident you are going to string hits together and advance runners. So the other player who feels hes doing things the right way by being disciplined at the plate trying to be smart and work counts what he is not doing is taking the amount of swing the more aggressive player is and when the more aggressive player figures something out with a pitch sequence and guesses right a few times runs are on the board while the more disciplined player electing to walk and be more reactionary to what is thrown if he doesn't have the hits and walks strung together often will not see runs. In real ball teams that have a couple good innings or teams that may strike out a lot are seeing the ball and getting what there looking for put up runs at a high clip. There is of course a flipside when the high strike out power teams aren't able to guess correctly or are not seeing the ball they do extremely poorly. Just a thought I've read many post similar and think sounds like 2 guys pitched pretty good and 1 finally got on a few balls it doesn't matter when your opponent scores if you dont out score them
Thanks for the sensible reply. Little light in the paragraph structure, but the content, obviously, was from the heart.
Yeah, I dunno how they got it coded. So many random outcomes. Sometimes you'll be the guy that gets sketchy unhittable pitches..sometimes you'll be the guy that thumps the ball, but always at'em balls.
Sometimes you'll be the guy that gets that homerun that wins that 1-0 extra-inning fiasco of a game (happened to me many times) and you just sit there thinking - my opponent is probably really pizzed right now because I didn't even intend to swing at that ball..checked up and smashed it 440 with 115 exit velocity. Those are the moments you know how the game really works.
Won 1-0 in off a homerun in extra innings this year?

Exactly. The winner of the online contest is decided before the first pitch is even thrown. SDS is a steaming pile of S-H-I-T

I agree the game outcomes are decided before the first pitch. Then it's all a matter of HAL manipulating the action to line up with the predetermination. Sometimes he's crafty..sometimes pretty obvious.

Why does nobody post when the game supposedly hands them a win?
I have on several occasions. These situations are when it's most obvious and the fanboyz have no recourse to say "you suck", "get gud" and all that rot.
Before I go on..word of wisdom..never call out the AI in a game you lose on this forum. At that point you're a target for the SDS affiliates to tell you how bad you are, and the authentic game just exploits how much you suck. They are so predictable..it's like throwing filet mignon out to the hounds. They never even try to explain WHY what you just described as ridiculous might have a valid explanation..they only want you to feel bad for mentioning it.
We've all been on the receiving end of the game in which ya can't hit jackShip. You're starting to get pretty irritated at the hijinks...I've actually just went into acceptance mode..going through the motions of another AI generated loss..When SUDDENLY his pitcher, that couldn't miss the strike zone the entire game, walks one of my guys on terrible pitches, then one of my anemic swings (check-swing on more than one occasion) sends one outta da park..and I end the game a 2-1 victor.
Actually had Jon Lester pop one in the 8th inning of a game I was losing 1-0 exactly like I just described. Jon Fruckin' Lester. The pitcher, you know that holds the MLB record for most AB's w/o a hit.
Meanwhile, likely, my opponent has already fired up his rant on this forum describing in detail the clusterfruck he just suffered. It's a parody..Funny stuff. Sometimes you just gotta laugh to keep from crying.

Not sure but if it’s the long, and I mean 7 long fly outs to the very deepest part of the park I had in a game against a [censored] team. Then yeah I believe it. I just laughed it off. After the first 2 I knew everything was staying in the park. Nothing I could do. Try blowing on the TV. Didn’t work.
Ha..sometimes if you just bump the TV..like a pinball machine..it shakes up the AI and things start rolling for ya.

It’s what we call rng. It’s the randomness of certain parts of the game that seemingly helps those that are not as good as their opponent to keep that person coming back because it gives them a sense that they are better than they actually are. It also doesn’t exist. RNG is not tilted in one direction or the other. It’s just that, random outcomes which could be influenced by what the player does prior to the outcome. A great player will beat a terrible player 100 out of 100 times. Those that are complaining about what this dill hole post is complaining about are not as good as they think they are and come to these forums to complain that they are being cheated by the game. And DDA is an EA sports outcome/decision table. It is also trademarked by EA and cannot be used by SDS. So this OP is misinformed and throwing around stupidity because he thinks he is better than you. He should be ignored and not responded to. Hope this explanation makes sense.
"A great player will beat a terrible player 100 out of 100 times" Absolute nonsense.
Player will beat player..regardless of skill level..when the AI decides it will happen. That simple.
You have zero credibility kid so do yourself a favor and stop embarrassing yourself. Just shut your trap and stop posting nonsense. When you came in this forum spouting DDA you lost all credibility. DDA is an EA sports logic table which makes decisions based on input. It is also trademarked. So take you butthurt complaints somewhere else!!!
You are probably young and gullible yourself. You may have some success at this game and really want to validate yourself by using the game as proof. OR, some other agenda I'm not going to get into.
But, the reason I think you're relatively young (or not the sharpest tool in the shed) is you present your arguments based on half-azzed information.
First, DDA is a generic term. It's not owned, copyrighted, patented, trademarked..or anyone's intellectual property. It's merely a term used in the software gaming industry referring to code specific to "equalizing" a player's experience.
EA does have a "patent"..much different than "trademark" that you mentioned..on THEIR version of DDA. My understanding is, they do sell it to other companies. I've never suggested SDS bought or utilize it. They have their own DDA code which probably doesn't line up with EA's.
Ever think the nonsense might be on your end? I know...deeeep, right?
I wouldn't waste my time arguing with these people. Anyone with half a brain knows it is in every sports game made. It is why in Madden when you are up 2 td's going for 3rd you magically fumble. When you are up by 10 in NBA and suddenly can't make a shot. These people won't believe it until it comes out which eventually it will. I still enjoy the game most of the time but I know how this stuff works. I don't get mad at losses.
Yeah, but I get tired of seeing the same fan-boyz/SDS-affiliates jumping on people that report problems. They hate people posting truth that detracts from the fake experience they try to fabricate in this game.
When they really go predatory is when someone complains about a game they lost.
Then they just jump on with both feet and try to deflect the real problem in the game someone is irritated about by telling them they suck. It's the exact definition of bullying.
And these guys are so easy to slice and dice because all they got in their arsenal is "get gud", "conspiracy theory", or "quit being negative..you suck".
I don't like bullies.
I usually get told I suck about every other week. Still doesn't detract from the fact there are connection issues with this game. Opponent and/or server. I don't pay any attention to it. Just want the issue fixed but hasn't been for 5 years now. I also still think devs post on here, they just don't do it with their SDS Dev account.
If I was a developer (and maybe I was)..I also would not like people finding fault with my creation and sharing it in a forum. Whether accurate or not.
But, those that have advanced enough in any career where you're laying your product out there for the masses have go to develop thick-skin and understand MOST folks just want your product they paid for to be better. I don't care if it's actors, singers, directors, writers, or software developers. It's typically not personal when you get negative critiques.
And those creators with strong character and some sense of self-awareness will take it as such and do their very best to meet the demands of their customers.
It's the ones lacking in character that seem to lash out at the critics. Whether said customers be completely right, completely wrong, or somewhat on to something.
Yea, I don't see mine as negative at all even though a lot of people will tell you it is. I would guess their game works pretty [censored] well in the studio. I think the main issue lies with people's connections and/or server issues. I don't think it is a coincidence last weekend I was seeing ton of issues and server errors were popping off. Better servers, match making and ping indicators would solve all these issues. I bet the game would run really great if all these were implemented.
Perhaps it is servers/network sometimes. Regardless, couldn't you take some of the loadsamoney from the revenues of half-mil, or whatever, copies sold a year and upgrade the infrastructure so the fans you alienate don't go off and tell any other prospective customers to fuhgeddaboudit?

I guess, if i lose i lose. last night game froze after 3 innings i was down 2-1....i messaged the other guy (both xbox users) he said was froze too...have it. i guess i love playing, i'm not even good but i enjoy it. I was stoked i completed my live series today NO MONEY SPENT....thats the highlight of my day. have fun, take a loss like a man (or woman) and move on.

I just play to play these days. Learned that last year. How the game plays is what determines is fun for me, not winning and losing.
Now that I say that if you start doing things that irritate, I will try my best to beat you. So one of my dailies yesterday was HR with a silver player. With the event, I thought that would be a good place to do it so I loaded up all silver switch hitting lineup except for Posada. Opponent hits a non-pci HR with Mantle and replays it. OK, so now I want to beat you. I hit a 2 run HR with Santander in the bottom of the 2nd. Naturally had to replay that one. He hits a contact swing inside the park HR to tie it. Bottom of 3 base hit by pinch hitter and perfect perfect gap shot by Mondesi. I really would have quit after my Santander HR had he not replayed the Mantle HR.

Yeah, same thing I resorted to in FUT a couple years back. Load up with your favorite players and just let the AI do it's thing.
It's going to treat a straight Padres lineup as if you were loaded with high diamonds anyway. You'll likely win/lose just as many. But, then, at least your identifying with your roster.
