Number of questions about DD mechanics

@raesone_psn said in Number of questions about DD mechanics:
This thread is mostly directed to the moderators of this forum, @Collin_SDS_PSN @SDS_Jax_PSN @Victor_SDS_PSN and maybe other mods that I'm not aware of.
I've been around these forums for a few years now and I can't help but notice the lack of communication, help and/or explanations behind certain gameplay elements. All you guys seem to do is police this forum (inconsistently as well I may say), and even though I understand and agree that policing these forums is neccessary, I feel like you guys could (maybe even should) take on a larger role than just slamming the ban hammer around. This thread is not meant as a way of giving you guys a hard time, but this is genuinely how I feel and I'm fairly certain more people around here would agree with this sentiment.
So I have written down a number of questions that I have had for years surrounding DD and gameplay mechanics in general. It would be awesome if you guys took some time to answer them, as they are pretty straight forward questions in my opinion.
Note that I'm looking for numbers and metrics that we can apply, not for explanations about a mechanic or how it works/what it does. For example, in FPS games like COD they communicate the exact "time to kill" per weapon/attachment/perk and so on. They give you the exact numbers they work with. I'm looking for the same type of information here.
- How does pitcher stamina regeneration work in DD (how much % regains per X games rested)? It does not work, stamina is a myth.
- Is there a difference in stamina regeneration between RP/CP and SP, and if so, how does it differ? ^ Stamina is still a myth.
- Does the vision attribute only affect the size of the area of being able to foul off pitches, or does it also narrow/widen the timing windows, and if so, how is this calculated (For example having a vision attribute of 80+ gives you 5ms extra on the "good timing" window, or widen the green area on the swing feedback)? It does widen the timing window. With zero vision, you cannot physically hit the baseball. With each point of vision added, 5 minutes is added to the perfect/perfect timing window.
- How exactly does the clutch attribute translate in Diamond Dynasty gameplay? I have heard it gives a "small boost" with RISP when the clutch rating is high, but exactly how large and what kind of a boost is given at exactly what rating threshold? There is no such thing as clutch. That's why Jeter wasn't nearly as good as you think he was, Cowboys fans.
- Same goes for pitching clutch, how exactly does this translate for pitchers in DD gameplay? How much and what kind of a boost (or penalty) is given if the PCLT rating is at a certain threshold? ^ Clutch still doesn't exist.
- How does HR/9 affect the hitting outcome and generated exit velocity? With 99 HR/9 it is physically impossible to give up a homerun. The way this is justified is that a pitcher with 99 HR/9 generates so much gravity that he simply sucks the ball back into the field of play. Looking at you, Bartolo.
- What exactly are the thresholds for pitcher confidence and what exact boosts/penalties are integrated with these thresholds? More confidence = bigger genitals.
- How exactly does yellow/red pitcher energy affect the outcome of the at bat? Does it only mean locating pitches becomes harder, or does it also mean that hitting input from your opponent is more forgiving, and if so, what are the numbers behind this? Think of it like green light, yellow light, red light. Green light: you're rolling, just keep on cruising with your pitcher. Yellow light: this means it's time to panic, you can either pull him so fast you'd make Kevin Cash envious, or you can go the La Russa route and just get a DUI. Red light: IT'S TOO LATE STEP ON IT! (Traffic lights are just a suggestion anyway.) What were we talking about?
- Does the baserunning aggressiveness attribute in DD affect how fast a player runs the bases, or is just a simulation attribute like some users have implied? It does nothing, just like Ramone did nothing that one time in Amsterdam.
- How exactly is a PVP match set up from a networking perspective and what would be ideal to keep the latency as low as possible? MacDonalds wifi is key.
- How does a batter's tendency influence an at bat precisely? Are the timing windows for example larger on inside pitches, when the batter's tendency is extreme pull? Tendencies only matter if you're a nerd. Seriously, stop trying to ruin baseball with your advanced analytics like "batting average" and "runs batted in".
If anyone else comes up with additional questions that I might have forgotten, please add them in this thread so we can hopefully get some clarification on these topics. I think many, if not all of them, are very easy to answer if you have those numbers and if you're willing to share them (I wouldn't see why not?).
Thank you in advance for your efforts and I'm looking forward to your replies.
Added questions from other users:
- does warming up a pitcher make any difference? @lewisnadasurf1_PSN Yes, if you warm your pitcher, he will no longer need a jacket. I'd suggest using a campfire because the carbon emissions are minimal. #savetheoceans
- Does confidence effect pinpoint input and if so how? @Kovz88_PSN Read above about confidence. I don't feel comfortable saying genitals, pinpoint, and input all in the same sentence.
- Why don’t you respond to your community? @Bounceman75_PSN WHAT AM I DOING RIGHT NOW BOUNCEMAN!?!?!
- Do hot and cold zones affect gameplay at all? @nash_524_PSN No, but they are a disaster when talking about tropical storms. Seriously guys #savetheoceans
- Why is the feedback broken? I.E. the no PCI Homeruns @Chrono_Omega_PSN Because we can't fix it, we've tried.
- What gives a larger boosts to pitcher confidence...throwing strikes in the zone or throwing out of zone pitches for missed swings? Do they differ at all in terms of confidence boost @EarvGotti_XBL Bigger genitals = more confidence. It goes both ways.
- Does h/9 only impact how large an opponent’s pci is or also their exit velocity on squared up pitches? @jacksonvance35 What's "H/9"? I'm gonna have to check with the dev team on that one, I've literally never heard of "H/9" before.
Few of you know this but I am actually a dev. I have answered all of your questions above. With Luv, @sds_IIJACKINTHBOXII

Daily request for the mods to take a look at this thread and please provide information if possible. If you guys don't have the answers right away, that's totally fine- that's an answer too.

@Collin_SDS_PSN @collin_sds_MLBTS
@Victor_SDS_PSN
Can we get any sort of update on where we are at with thr answers to these questions? I know you guys are active on the forums and that you see these mentions so it just continues to make you look worse blatantly ignoring it. I get that you guys are busy but just some sort of acknowledgment would get us off your backs a bit. -
I would still like them to address the Ohtani/2 way player situation. It would be nice to use them as intended.
Just give us some sort of acknowledgement that you read these and are working on some answers.

Their silence speaks volumes to me. Incompetent bunch.

I mean, I'm fairly certain their line of thought goes something like "if we just ignore this long enough, it will eventually blow over", each time they see this thread. So I'm just gonna keep posting reminders until I get some sort of response.

You think they actually care? I think they will just eventually remove the entire post for spam and if you create another they will ban you. Not saying thats right, but this can't go on forever.

I hope they will. That will be a GREAT message to their community.

Good thread,let us gaze upward and have faith that someone knows the answer up there. Maybe a Youtube streamer ?

Arguing among ourselves doesnt help the matter at all .

I appreciate your line of thinking, but there isn't a YouTuber out there who knows something about this game that I don't already know. Besides, we want verified information coming from a verified source, meaning the devs of the studio. Not some random content creator who can say whatever he wants based on assumptions and speculations.

Youtube line was intended as humor, ark ark!

Because we all know "there's no need for speculation"

Actually all my appearances over here are an attempt at humor mostly. My PlayStation is mainly a source of enjoyment not frustration. Heck of a concept I highly recommend.

I'm kind of surprised I haven't gotten a short ban. I've been using the dev tracker to follow Collin and ask him about these questions in every thread he posts.
