    Man I am 44 and have really lost a step so to speak playing this game, but I cannot imagine not being able to complete all the offline content and at least make WS in RS. This game level is pretty good where it is at. I do understand everything you are saying, but the video game maker has to have a balance point as well. Sometimes certain aspects of the game arent gonna be meant for everyone. Though I do agree RTTS and Franchise players probably need way more attention. But in DD, which is a competitive mode, I cannot see how they can make everyone happy.

    Should be one choice meter or pinpoint , having players competing with seperate options muddies the already murky waters of online play.

    No...I won't use either of those. I have no distinct advantage using analog pitching but that's what I'm used to and will continue to use.

    Whenever I think of something negative to say about The Show or SDS, I have a mantra I like to say: At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA, At least it's not Madden, At least it's not EA.

    My man. Say it louder for all of us still using directional. I started with MVP Baseball 2004 when Pujols was on the cover just breaking out as a young stud. I was six years old that year and I’ve owned every The Show game since their creation, to include the 989 Studios ball game that was pre “The Show”.

    Directional hitting is what I love and it makes the most sense to me. I’ve tried every new type of hitting interface and pitching interface the show has put out and guess what I love using the most to this day? Directional hitting and meter pitching.

    I agree that we’ve seen the decline in directional over the past years, but these last two years have really messed with the timing of hitting. Next time you play and swing and foul off a pitch, take a look at that swing review in the lower left corner. The issue I have with hitting now is in reality, on an inside pitch, you can be early and pull, or let the pitch get deep and slap it the other way. It shouldn’t be one continuous green zone where if you miss it, the ball is guaranteed to be foul. Same thing goes for the middle and outer edge of the plate, you can be early or on time and still hit it up the middle without it being a rollover grounder or weak blooper off the end of the bat.

    I hear you brotha, support the directional squad please. Don’t force us out.

    "RTTS doesn't sell copies, so we'll work on it 0.001 percent as much as we work on DD and getting all these diamonds out to people."

    I don't believe that RTTS doesn't sell copies. It definitely does. They have not given stats recently but even as recently as a few years ago, RTTS was the most played mode.

    What RTTS does not do is generate extra income the way that DD does, which is why they tied the two together with the stupid BallPlayer option.

    As another who used to play RTTS exclusively I am of the opinion that every improvement over the last 4 or 5 years has been a step in the wrong directions.

    • Storylines suck and are repetitive.

    • Archetypes are limiting and maxing out your player now requires equipment.

    • My BallPlayer further limits player advancement and pushes cards and equipment.

    • Doing away with Year to Year saves, which I am sure has to do with My BallPlayer being intergrated with DD means that I will never, ever finish a career.

    So you did not use this account on this forum within the first 6 months of creating your account here and then yesterday, you randomly pick my post from 21 days ago of a discussion that was dead for days to start off your time on this forum by talking 💩???

    Congrats, my man, you are the 164th recipient of being added to the "Clown List". I must say you are probably one of the most deserving recipients with your nonsense here! And now I must smash that clown button! (SDS misspelled it by labeling it "block")
