It’s unplayable over 800 this year, I can’t believe it. Every pitcher has outlier…not even remotely fun to play ranked anymore. Kind of destroys the whole point of DD for me.
I think they try to please everyone with it ... So everybody who bunt cheese L2 hold stuck at all star and people who just contact hit till death a 37 ft outside slider and tip it foul can make it to pennant ...top player got there ws ranking between them all the rest who enjoy baseball and wanna play a good real sim game ( w or L ) is just lost in all that non sense baseball they love to call simulation ... Well it suck cause game have so much potential...

I’m just tired of out-of-pci early timing homers on low curveballs
I just lost a game against a guy that was flailing all game and had four home runs with single digit pci ratings. At this point I am chalking it up to the feedback being wrong.

I tell myself I do but then I'll play a few games of it and then want to slap someones grandma that's how frustrating it is. But then I don't play for a few hours and I get the itch again. Rinse and repeat.
What makes it lame is every game is the same. Who can keep their opponent from hitting the fewest homeruns. Because there is no other way people score besides HRs. LITERALLY. No other way. 90% of the games I play are like 1-0, 2-1, 2-0... The default sliders for the game are bad so you see a lot of things like outfielders being able to run from a mile away to get under a ball and catch it. Line drives off the bat arent realistic at all. It looks like when you hit a golf ball with a 9 iron.
But yeah my biggest gripe is the lack of diversity when it comes to plays on offense. All you see is. Strikeout. HR. Slowest hit ball ever for infield single. Pop-out to catcher that only went 7 feet in the air. Or line drive directly at an OF.
just spot on here

I guess it would be fine if we didn’t have real baseball to compare it to.

Nope. Made world series twice, it was fun for awhile but i mean i'm hitting like .250 on hof i thought i figured out cabrera but my last few outings have just been awful. im done. hardly playing i play chise here and there but i wish they could incorporate a franchise mode right into DD with new cards being released as free agents in your franchise.

My main gripe is that from one game to the next the game plays really inconsistently. Pitch speeds and timing windows can vary wildly. It also seems usually one player gets the benefit of poor pci homeruns and balls finding holes while the other makes errors and has a noodle bat.
How much of this is connection related? Not sure. Very annoying though.

This, in general, really sums up the problems with the game in a nutshell.
You could say a lot about the gameplay but nobody would say that it is consistent, unless you were saying it is consistently inconsistent.
I think this is by design. It allows the gameplay and outcomes (can’t have batting averages look like a video game) to be controlled/manipulated.
The whole pitch this year was about playing the game you want. There was even the whole sim/casual/competitive choice that was supposed to cater to the type of game you wanted. Right.

I’ll say it again, 100+ attributes are messing with the RNG which in turn messes with outcomes which then leads to 90% of the complaints we see. 99 should be the max, gameplay is so much better offline when using just regular rated players.

I enjoy it when it plays well, but I don't play a ton online anyway. My most recent game I had struck out 14 of 16 hitters. One grounded out to second and you guessed it the other was a solo bomb making it 1-0 while I had 7 hits and was making decent contact all game. Just couldn't push a run across. I just kinda shrugged it off as part of the game and felt like I woulda won anyway but I decided to go ahead and quit to hop on COD with a buddy. I just had to laugh at how that game is pretty representative of ranked as a whole.

My guess is it is all connection related. I would bet this game runs great in the studio. Problem is matching up people with bad internet or matching people 1000 miles away. When ms are so important, it isn't a good idea. This game desperately needs to improve on the networking side of things. That is where most of the issues lie. Seen some streamers complaining about it the last few days. That is actually a good thing. Maybe it will open SDS' eyes.

i love ranked until WS comes along

Hitting this month seems much easier than previous seasons. Might be better cards but so far I’m hitting .330 all on HOF and previous months I’ve made WS hitting .280
Maybe I just got gud -
