Why this game is an absolute joke

As Yogi would have said, they wouldn't have won if you had beaten them.

Believe it or not Randy Johnson struck out 19 and lost 1-4
Oh yeah ! I forgot about that. Well be that as it may. I'm still mad.

I want to make it clear I'm not defending that, I would be livid as well. However, how is it possible to make it never happen? The only way would be all good pci is hits and all bad pci are outs, otherwise this scenario is bound to happen at some point.
In the year where stick skills reign supreme one expect good input being rewarded more often than not.
Sure, but that doesn't answer my question. How do you ensure it NEVER happens? Because even if good input is rewarded alot, this scenario is still possible by getting extremely unlucky.
IRL it happens, so it needs to happen on very rare ocassions. What hitting need is good input to be rewarded a little bit more.

Yeah... let's get it out of the way. I lost a game and I'm bitter
I struck the guy out 19 times.... He struck me out 7
I put the ball in play 20 times.. 7 of which had PCI of 14 or high and didn't get one of those to be a hit.
He put the ball in play a whopping 11 times TOTAL.... ONE PCI of a 14. Everything else was a 12 or lower.... Including the game winning HR.
Now this is All-Star Hell of course since the season reset. But Can someone please chime in here and tell me Git Gud or defend the game to the end of times. Because that was literally the most frustrating games I have ever played.
git gud???
but like that's just baseball for u, its frustrating, but i just tell myself to try to stay cool and 90% of the time u will win games like that. i think one of the most important things on this game is to pay attention to ur swings--like did u get good timing/contact--and not the results. cause at the end of the day thats what matters. if u hit lots of perfects itll average out to wins and u dont wanna get thrown off by one going for an unlucky out with runners on or something

Git gud.

Git gud SDS..Build us a game where you don't have to hear these sorts of reports. And they happen all the time, they don't get reported all the time, it's just eventually someone will completely lose their cool and just have to vent. No one really wants to bitck..we just don't like games stolen from us for the sake of parity.
I had one couple days ago same sort of script plays out. Opponent doesn't appear to have a concept of the strike zone..swinging at every thing, gets that where-did-that-come-from homerun to tie the game 1-1 in the 6th. 9th inning I bring in Hader to face his lefties and a perfectly warm Hader walks the first 2 batters. I was putting pitches on the inside edges and they were animated so far outside this free-swinger just held the bat. I understood this all to familiar recipe and quit..giving him the 1-1 win. Haven't played RS since.
There has to be a way, right?

This game is and has been for years screwed up by connections. You can't take this game competitively. Just play with different cards and not care if you win or lose. That's what I do.

Analyzing PCI feedback etc will only make u nuts and stop u from getting better. I personally don't even think I know how to check it. Also I don't wanna know for previously stated reasons. The better player wins a vast majority of the time. That's fine with me

I don't think there are any metrics that prove the better player wins even a lot more..much less vast majority. We don't even know it's 50% of the time.
It's all very subjective.

Well, today I won a game on AS difficulty pitching with 99 Ohtani. Prior struck me out like 18 times. I no-hit the guy. The only run scored was on a BS home run by Chipper, pulled to RF AND THE BALL MARKER WASN'T EVEN IN THE INNER PCI. No joke.
We were both rated about 600, both with records slightly over .500. Hitting is INCREDIBLY HARD in this game. I might just bow out of RS -- it's flat-out not fun, and I don't have the time or desire to "git gud."
-
Who were the pitchers? Did his pitcher have drastically more H/9 HR/9?
-
Personally, for me, I just try to chill and play and whatever happens, happens. I try not to get too caught up in the bad luck aspect of the game. I’m sure over time it evens out for me.

Normal RS game takes 35 mins. When these R2 holders play it takes over an hour. Time for SDS to clean up a lot of things.

I’ve had many games where I’m dusting my opponent and lose. Happened all the time in the early days 19, hitting lineout after lineout just to see my opponent get rewarded on their one good swing. I remember I was told “your facing Nolan Ryan you’re not supposed to be rewarded” lol sometimes the game shafts you.

LOL... the Ol' Spite report
Yeah bout to do another. Just lost to a dude I struck out 15 times that made solid contact once….. meanwhile I hit 5 to the track and multiple line outs while he has 2 hits. One seeing eye single and a random homerun somehow… absolute jokesZ they said skills matter, but they definitely don’t

I want to but as a college player and coach it just frustrates me losing to morons that have no clue about ball. Stick skills definitely don’t matter. What matters is home, inside fastball and sinkers with outlier and lucky swings. You know you’re screwed when all your balls in play are outs and the other guy couldn’t hit their way out a wet paper bag and spam pitches that would get wrecked in the real…. Definitely not made for real baseball people. I sometimes laugh at it but I sometimes want to reach through the game and beat the dudes [censored] for knowing nothing about ball and being able to win

It's not your opponent's fault. They just want to win..same as you. No, the entire cause of the frustration is in the RNG/DDA code that allows these things to happen.
I never get mad at my opponent, I get mad at the developers. They are the responsible party.

That is the part I don't get? Why even have the PCI and swing feedback if it isn't relevant and doesn't matter! It just gets people pissed off! Either make it matter like in the Pro Yakyuu Japanese game or get rid of it.
I for one am sick of making contact with the ball as the bat head is exactly parallel with the front of home plate only to have the ball be pulled foul by 200 feet! It's like physics doesn't exist in this game!
