SDS Quit Changing Difficulties, Sliders, Pitch Speeds.

A real sport doesn’t Fn change. An Esport should not either. Shooting game esports don’t F with the GD settings all the FN time so SDS shouldn’t either.
For the love of all that is holy stop. Maybe if you went with one set of pitch speeds, timing windows, pci sizes you could produce a halfway decent product where the mechanics were close to being legitimate.
Dumb human beings running stuff they shouldn’t be.
-
No matter which speed they pick, they will make some group mad.
Would you be mad if they picked all-star? HoF? Gotta think about that competitive community, and the casuals, and can't afford to lose either.
-
OP has a point. Difficulties don’t really mean anything in this game anymore. There are so many variables that it has to be by design.
-
Well if your going to make online play legitimate you gotta put everyone on the same galaxy. Too many factors now in online play make The Show lacking in this area. The game is fine in all other aspects.This is of course only one mans opinion.

this makes no sense - god you defend everything on this game
how about they do the sliders ONCE when the game launches - it shows confidence in the devs ability to make good decisions
let there be some sense of CONSISTENCY - OP is absolutely right

Why does this make no sense? Are you saying if they chose all-star pitch speeds or HoF pitch speeds that it wouldn't alienate one side of the aisle?

The hitting is broken
Even on vet earlier playing Cq.

Meaty noise. Warning track

Now you certainly can not expect perfection without trial and error. I cant testify to how much anyone listens to whoand I have my peaves against the game also but I've seen change in areas where people had solid beefs and the evidence to back it up. I always wonder how much would i be complaining if my name were atop the leaderboard
-
I just had to go to multiple extra innings to win a stronghold battle on All Star. It was ridiculous. The cpu pitching threw 45 out of 69 pitches entirely outside the zone, many WAY out.
That’s 65% balls.
Sorry. Simulation/realism or not, I just find this ridiculous.

who is saying about choosing a particular difficulty setting? they should make 1 game slider per year - each has its own respective levels and tiers of difficulty - no need to change sliders throughout the year - it shows a lack of confidence within the game devs
- I don't.

The OP is advocating for SDS to stop changing pitch speeds. That means picking one speed, whether it be all-star, HOF etc.
It has nothing to do with sliders, yes SDS messes with the sliders, but they don't change the pitch speeds with the sliders, all-star is just as slow/fast as it was on release day. Therefore the only logical conclusion to the OP saying quit changing pitch speeds is saying there should be only one pitch speed
- I don't.
-
That's not true. All star is very much different depending on the mode. Events at all star difficulty are often different as well depending on how they have adjusted the sliders. If you look at the sliders in the settings, you will see that pitch speed is one of them.
-
What Josh said.
Obviously it’s pretty tough to please everyone, but with universal pitch speeds, in other words, Muñoz throwing 103 is the same 103 in every mode and difficulty, players have a chance to get better.
It’s hard enough to make an adjustment from being on that fastball to being on the slider, but THAT is baseball.
Constantly adjusting when you’re very early on the fastball in one mode, but can’t touch it in another mode, is NOT baseball imo.
I understand this is a video game.
While I’m at it, it has been a full season of universal DH, and we still have pitchers hitting in DD.

And put like that it sounds practical and sensible. But it's not, why would SDS make one side mad when they can stay status quo? If they picked a speed, it would be all-star not hof and then you have the streamers/YouTubers all up in arms. HoF is to fast for some older folks, people who don't use monitors, casual etc.
-
Your point is a very practical one, Eatyum. My optimistic take on this is that something closer to HOF pitch speed across the board would initially upset the under 700 players.
That said, over time, players can adjust if the speeds remain constant. There would no doubt still be different PCI sizes, which is not a terrible thing, imo.
It’s kind of a moot point, because unfortunately, your take about SDS trying to please everyone is probably accurate.
I DO think it would be a better game though with a universal pitch speed, and the only adjustment required being from pitcher to pitcher, like in the MLB.
-
I’ve been lobbying for this for a long time. I want one universal pitch speed. Change the pci according to difficulty, but for the love of god……..one pitch speed! I don’t care which they choose.

Esports change all the time. Heck they are still releasing balancing patches for StarCraft 1 for Pete’s sake. Which would “change the sliders” as you put it. Almost any game that is played online modifies the game during its play cycle.
