For us mere mortals HOF just isn’t fun. The pitch speeds are just too fast and the gameplay is straight up boring. I get a few hits, my opponent gets a few hits and whoever hits more HRs win. There’s really no variety to hitting on this difficulty for ranked. Going from all star to HOF with the varying timing windows is brutal for me. Sorry for venting…feel like they ruined RS this year.
It’s more or less whoever gets lucky with home runs is the winner. HOF is brutally ridiculous!!!
Makes you appreciate people like Littlemann and Weens who hit Legemd like it’s Veteran for most.
I mean…..yeah you’re not wrong. But I certainly am not gonna put in the time it would require of me to get that good. I’m too old and have too many responsibilities. I already spend too much time on this game.
Man, I am way too old to ever be elite at this game too. My 11 year old son has unreal reaction times when hitting ( but doesn’t understand the pitching strategy yet). Makes me realize how much my hand eye reaction has slowed.
Agreed. This is the only PS game I own and it’s simply because I love baseball!! I’ve been playing since 2015. The first time I saw the Topps cards on the screen and was like “I had that card when I was a kid”, I was hooked. I was a really player in ‘17, but like you my reaction time has slowed drastically!! I’m still decent and if I try hard I can get to mid 800’s, but I play now for fun. About once or twice a year I try to summon all my patience and put together a serious run for 900 just to see if I can still do it. Made it to 846 I think this year. Haven’t made it to 900 since ‘17.
We live the same experience, my friend. I have made one teal attempt at WS each of the last two seasons ( I have played The Show since first iteration but just started SD last year).
Last year I hit 870 and this year 876. Last year I had a few soul crushing losses that ended that run and this year 2 disconnect losses that put me over the edge at that point. Mentally far too draining for my sanity !
And like the guy said above, consistent “practice” for a video game that is supposed to be a “getaway” from stress is one step too far ( and my wife would have me committed “.
It’s not as much about practicing as it is about committing to playing on legend/HOF and sticking to it. Believe it or not you will get used to the pitch speeds and timing windows.
You guys go ahead and complain instead so every mode in the game is on slow pitch softball, with strike zone pcis and you can’t strike out.
They already gave you whiners cumulative wins and you still complain.
Oreo is one of the more level headed posters on this board. Not sure what warranted this response.
And I also disagree with your post. Not everyone is created equal. We all don't have the same equipment to play with/on and we are all different ages meaning we all have different reaction times and abilities.
So does that mean there shouldn’t be a place in the game to where the difficulty is higher and those that want to take on the challenge can do so?
Also if you read a couple more posts down I apologized as it wasn’t really directed at him.
There absolutely should be a place for those that want to play legend. I never suggested there shouldn't be

I don’t understand why people don’t like to hear get good when it comes to ranked. BR is already all star as well as most events why complain about the one mode which needs skill to be good
1.) It's an old, tiresome, and lazy answer.
2.) I'm not sure why you and others can't understand that not everyone treats this game like a job. Some people just want to hop on and play a game in between kids, a wife, a job, other life responsibilities. Believe it or not there are plenty of posters on this board who can't devote the time or consistency it takes to "get good".
3.) And if everyone on here practiced for 8 hours a day for weeks on end there will still be different skill levels. As I stated above not everyone has the same talent/abilities as everyone else. Practice can only take you so far.

Thats what casual modes like events br and… casual are for. People that can’t be very good. It only takes 10-15 minutes of sitting in BP to start to improve. If you can’t do that then don’t complain. Plenty of people including myself have a job and a significant other and still use my free time to be good at the game. I think having a life is a tiresome excuse to be lousy at a video game

I think if I was an adult with a job and significant other and on here ridiculing someone for “being lousy” at a video game, I may want to reassess the situation.

The reality is it has very little to do with “skill”. Regardless of difficulty, there is so much randomness in this game.
Those of you that are playing at higher difficulty, my hat is off to you.
That said, don’t delude yourselves. The gameplay online is not balanced in any way, shape or form, unless you consider balance to mean that random outcomes happen to everyone.
If it was about skill, the most good swings would win every time. That is not the case. You can’t really even take the swing feedback seriously.
I mean I went 13-1 and got Trout. It can’t be completely random.
Like I said, my hat is off to you, but I would suggest you are in the vast minority. A game based on skill would not reward so many bad swings with home runs, for starters.
Why does my opponent, who otherwise can’t hit the side of a barn, suddenly score four runs right after I score five? Did he suddenly figure out hitting for that one inning? Did he just forget again after that inning?
We have all experienced these things in the game, and whether you went 13-1 or not doesn’t change that.

I hope you don't view the world as narrowly as you do this video game. EVERYONE IS NOT LIKE YOU. For YOU it might only take 10-15 minutes of BP to "get gud" NOT everyone.. You also seem to ignore my third reason but based on your reading comprehension and self centered views it wouldn't really matter if you read it or not. That's all the time I care to spend on this. It doesn't really matter to me if you can't understand that "get gud" isn't the answer for everybody.

Do you not realize this whole thread is about people complaining that they aren’t good enough to play on hof and legend? They aren’t gonna make a ranked seasons but only if you play an hour a day and are 50 years old. This whole thread is just stupid. I don’t know why anybody is still trying to argue it. It’s supposed to be fun. If you aren’t having fun losing in ranked go play events and BR. God forbid do something else that you find fun. Or instead just run to the forum to complain it’s too hard I guess. This isn’t all aimed at you ncstate btw.

There is randomness but not anywhere near madden or 2k. It goes both ways most of the time in this game. I’d say 95 percent of the time the better player wins. In other games it’s nowhere near that. This is by far the most balanced sports game on the market. Certain things set elite players apart whether it’s mastering certain players swing time or just elite reactions. This game very much so comes down to skill.
So it is “less random” than Madden or 2k” therefore all about skill?
Maybe for “elite” players (whoever they are) but for the vast majority of players, the gameplay is pretty much random.
Do you know who the elite players are in this game? They are the people that live close to the servers with internet bad enough where the majority of their games connect to those servers. Look at all the top players in the game. Almost all live close to the alleged server locations. That is not a coincidence.
I wish I had the money. I would fly Weens to KC and put him up for a season. Yes, he would still make the WS because he is a good player but he wouldn't sniff 500-50 or whatever. Wouldn't be a top 50 player even though right now he might be the best.
FYI - Before you idiots that think I say this because you think I think I am the best. I am not. I wouldn't be a top 50 player if I moved to Ween's house. There is, however, a big difference in where you play this game.
Also why I am loving TGC Tours on PGA Tour 2k21. I don't have to worry about people's connections and there proximity to the servers. Whether I do good or bad, it is all on me. No warping pitches or non-pci HR's to deal with. Much better game.

You're quite right I'm sure, about the Show. But you're wrong about PGA 2K21 - their swing timing has RNG in it. Whether you do good or bad, it is not all on you at all. This has been shown by people with weird programs that input the same exact inputs every time, and get all kinds of outputs, ranging all the way from very early to very late, but mostly 'just'. And there are even ways to game the RNG (by purposely aiming way one way and then intentionally going for 'very earlies'). They have forums where they debate if it's cheesing or cheating to use the intentionally early method.
I quit playing it for good and came back to this game.

You're quite right I'm sure, about the Show. But you're wrong about PGA 2K21 - their swing timing has RNG in it. Whether you do good or bad, it is not all on you at all. This has been shown by people with weird programs that input the same exact inputs every time, and get all kinds of outputs, ranging all the way from very early to very late, but mostly 'just'. And there are even ways to game the RNG (by purposely aiming way one way and then intentionally going for 'very earlies'). They have forums where they debate if it's cheesing or cheating to use the intentionally early method.
I quit playing it for good and came back to this game.
He’s in the honeymoon stage and has no clue. Same reason I quit with that early cheese bs

I don’t understand why people don’t like to hear get good when it comes to ranked. BR is already all star as well as most events why complain about the one mode which needs skill to be good
The reality is it has very little to do with “skill”. Regardless of difficulty, there is so much randomness in this game.
Those of you that are playing at higher difficulty, my hat is off to you.
That said, don’t delude yourselves. The gameplay online is not balanced in any way, shape or form, unless you consider balance to mean that random outcomes happen to everyone.
If it was about skill, the most good swings would win every time. That is not the case. You can’t really even take the swing feedback seriously.
There is randomness but not anywhere near madden or 2k. It goes both ways most of the time in this game. I’d say 95 percent of the time the better player wins. In other games it’s nowhere near that. This is by far the most balanced sports game on the market. Certain things set elite players apart whether it’s mastering certain players swing time or just elite reactions. This game very much so comes down to skill.
So it is “less random” than Madden or 2k” therefore all about skill?
Maybe for “elite” players (whoever they are) but for the vast majority of players, the gameplay is pretty much random.
Do you know who the elite players are in this game? They are the people that live close to the servers with internet bad enough where the majority of their games connect to those servers. Look at all the top players in the game. Almost all live close to the alleged server locations. That is not a coincidence.
I wish I had the money. I would fly Weens to KC and put him up for a season. Yes, he would still make the WS because he is a good player but he wouldn't sniff 500-50 or whatever. Wouldn't be a top 50 player even though right now he might be the best.

My record has been better while at school in North Dakota than when I was home in Arizona closer to the servers. Could be I just improved since then though. I’ll be back in Arizona for good soon so I’ll find out soon enough

You could be right. I just started playing the game in late October and started TGC in November. I haven't noticed the variations. It is usually obvious to me when I hit a ball very slow or very fast. I never calibrate at the range though either. I thought they fixed the red early swings with a patch just before I started.

With my theory if your internet is really good in AZ maybe you are not connecting to the closest servers. Maybe connecting to servers like TX more which would affect your game.

1.) It's an old, tiresome, and lazy answer.
2.) I'm not sure why you and others can't understand that not everyone treats this game like a job. Some people just want to hop on and play a game in between kids, a wife, a job, other life responsibilities. Believe it or not there are plenty of posters on this board who can't devote the time or consistency it takes to "get good".
3.) And if everyone on here practiced for 8 hours a day for weeks on end there will still be different skill levels. As I stated above not everyone has the same talent/abilities as everyone else. Practice can only take you so far.
Thats what casual modes like events br and… casual are for. People that can’t be very good. It only takes 10-15 minutes of sitting in BP to start to improve. If you can’t do that then don’t complain. Plenty of people including myself have a job and a significant other and still use my free time to be good at the game. I think having a life is a tiresome excuse to be lousy at a video game
- If only that were the case. You can spend 10-15 minutes a day in custom practice on legend and not get better.
I mean, sure, you can get better by small increments, but it doesn’t last, and if you have to do it every day to have a prayer at hitting on HOF, it is pretty lame.
I can think of plenty of skills I’ve developed in life that don’t require me to practice every day to be decently good at.
This game is not like that, by design.
- Being good at a video game is a poor excuse for being bad at life.
- If only that were the case. You can spend 10-15 minutes a day in custom practice on legend and not get better.
