[censored] this game man. My opponent who is whiffing at Greinke curveballs the entire game gets rewarded with 2 early swing HRs. My good timing swings in the PCI are just popups. Oh and a perfect swing foul ball HR.
Nah seriously [censored] that.
No one cares for your plight LOL Not sure why people come on here to complain that they lost a game HAHA
I'm complaining that the game sucks balls.

Is it better to suck at the game? Well it certainly hasn't resulted in anything positive for me. I am easily among the worst online, and I routinely get matched up against guys that are 200 games over .500 with lineups full of guys with .400 avg 80 HR and get stuck facing Ryan or Degrom every single time.
Then when I get those rare moments where I get a lead either my opponent instantly quits, or the AI decides "darkblue rally stinks, so we will start gifting this other guy hits so he wins." I will then start having pitches despite perfect release point start going all over the place, resulting in a couple of gift walks, forcing me to go further into the zone and sure enough, BAM! Towering, no doubt 400 foot bomb for the other guy.
Exactly.
I'm finding it harder and harder to manufacture runs too. Like, after I get a couple good hits in a row and guys on base NOTHING will drop even if its timed well, in the zone, and in the PCI. The game doesnt want a rally.
And if one team gets ahead THEN the hits will start coming to even up the game.
Lol at the people defending the game in here. Its obviously broken.

Whenever I get a rally, it seems to be from cheap fluke hits that I didn’t deserve.
If you square the ball up, it’s either an out (warning track shot or lineout), or a home run. The chances of you stringing together 4-5 solid hits in an inning are rare because more likely than not, you’re going to have a ball you couldn’t have hit much better smoked right into a double play.

He just proved my point by posting that box score. The difference in this game was an early swing on a curveball out of the zone. That's not something to defend the game. If hes whiffing at the curveball all game he shouldn't be rewarded by whiffing at the curveball early.Admittedly I was whiffing at the cutter and slider in, but I didnt get a homerun on one of those.
And if you could see the amount of good hits that died at the track theres just no way I should have lost that game. He left a lot of cutters up and over the plate that should have been hits.
People who think there should be no negative feedback are so cute.

https://mlb22.theshow.com/games/322584949?username=mfundercoverIf anything that box score proves my point. Game had to force a 2-1 game with 6 hits on each side. He had one good swing then entire game. The other HR came on an early swing on the curveball. Dude was swinging out of his shoes the whole game.
Too bad they dont record good hits because that would tell the whole story. I'll take the strike outside when I'm getting solid hits every inning. He wasnt.
And my perfect foul ball came in another game.
Idk why yourendefending this game bro. It sucks and everyone knows it.
He doesn’t even play online but comes in the forum talking smack. Don’t pay that clown any attention.

Honestly I think just not playing ranked seasons helps alot with this. I pretty much exclusively play events with some BR just for the program and I don't feel like this BS happens have as much as some claim it does

Me too. I'm just focusing on BR for online this year, and I would say the game outcomes are "fair". In RS, I've certainly been on both sides - win when I shouldn't, lose when I shouldn't. RS just feels weird to me.

Do me a favor go to YouTube watch a video by Mcgunski or Kyle or cbrev or any of the content creators
Watch how many balls they hit and runs they score then come back and tell me the game doesn’t work
Is it 100% perfect- of course not
You may be over estimating how good you are at the game

I don’t think the game is perfect there are a few head scratchers that happen. Like this morning in an events game the HRD Soto. High fastball I was early but in the green and per the PcI I was on it slightly low should be a perfect launch angle. He flew out lazily to CF. Ok, his next at bat I was early on an outside slider and below it where most of the ball was out of the pci. No doubter. That’s my frustration. But again it is what it is. My problem is SDS continues to mock us knowing there is issues. The foul ball, the diving plays. It just gets old. But I’m here I’m not quitting, I’m not buying madden. So there you go.

It’s harder to notice in a 3 inning game. Over the course of 9 innings you can really see how good your opponent is and what is being rewarded. When you have 3-4 straight innings with nothing but hard outs and your opponent scored off of bloops or a home run off of an early swing on an outside pitch.. it gets old.
I also think pitchers having reduced stamina to start the game makes a big difference as well.

Yeah. I just don't see the appeal of RS anymore personally. Unless you are really into playing 9 inning games or are top 50, is just pointless. It by far has the worst rewards out of the 3 and actually making world series is bragging rights at best. Add that to the RNG and that's why I don't play it

They only show their wins dude. They lose plenty of games. They hate the game too and complain as much as anyone. I've also seen Kyle get blooped to death and hit straight liners to outfielders for a loss before. Idk what you think you've proven by saying this lol. And I don't think I'm over estimating. I still have a great W-L record but at least half of my losses were clearly forced like Kyles
idk why people defend the game so hard. It has good bones but it's clearly in a very bad state. Everyone knows it. Needs a community uprising like Madden had to get them to fix this junk. If you defend this game you're the problem imo.

You have no clue what you’re talking about, Kyle def doesn’t just show when he wins and if you look at his record he wins wayyyy more than he’s lost, same goes for any of the content creators ie mcgunski, cbrev, pitching rebel or whomever
The fact that you thought a good point to back your claim is to say “well look at Kyle he’s lost before” just kinda confirms what I said in the 1st place. You guys aren’t realistic in expectations
And again not once did I say the game was 100% perfect- we still have freeze offs, some people complain about servers
But like I said if you watch any good player play, they have absolutely no problem hitting the ball and hitting home runs- is every single hit how they want it to be- of course not but majority of the time when they take good swings the ball is being put in play
What is your record? What’s your rating 500’s 600’s 700’s?

Well dude, not everybody is Gunski. Top players are elite at this game and can hit their way out of the BS that this game throws at them most of the time.
For the average player getting scammed by the game is more of an uphill battle than what it is to anybody else. The very bad players suck anyway so the blessings of bad pci hits are at higher rate for them, top players get enough good/good to become rewarded at a decent rate. The average player however, gets burned on both sides of the game and can’t always overcome it because good input isn’t rewarded as much as it should and bad input gets rewarded too often.
