    How does an AI know who the lesser player is? And if you do win; does that mean the AI cheated your opponent?

    How can you not see it. Go back and re read my post. I am throwing pitches miles outside the zone because he is chasing EVERYTHING and the ball magically goes right down the middle????

    I am a weak hitter but play solid defense, and can pitch better than average, so when the other player is swinging at every single pitch, but missing badly and pitching very inconsistently it is a sign that I am a better player than them.

    It would be one thing if they were chasing everything and missing and finally figured out that they should be patient and wait for better pitches to hit and finally started hitting, but what is happening instead is the AI is INTENTIONALLY giving them free home runs by making my pitches go so perfectly down the middle that even Stevie Wonder could hit them out.

    Also, when you face a team that bunt dances, R2 spams, pauses every other batter or between pitches until the clock is at about 30 seconds, and ONLY bunts (yet their bunts magically go exactly in the perfect spot for a hit) that frankly they are weaker than I am, and that's hard to do.

    Additionally, the AI intentionally not letting me select the player closest to the ball to go after it so they get free hits and runs.

    I know that I cannot PROVE that SDS cheats players on purpose, but I believe that while they do not respond to things on this forum, that they do monitor it and blacklist anyone that does not lick their boots.

    Also, many of the things I am experiencing I see on threads as old as 2015, and still going on in 2022.

    Cheesy players spend money too. That's what sds cares about. Which they should since there are a business. They made this game to make money. We all forget this sometimes.
    If this game got a 98% approval rating but didn't sell well. It would be a failure.
    If this game had a 28% approval rating but was there best year profit wise. It's a success. They will continue to put out the same formula year after year.
    If the games broke but makes money....don't fix it!

    I understand about SDS rewarding the cheesers, but again that actually makes it worse in my opinion. That not only changes it from an online experience to a PAY TO WIN system, and if you don't pay, they will blatantly cheat you until you do.

    It's not just what happens to me, but the many other stories I see here on this site, but sometimes I see even worse, and significantly blatant cheating by SDS to favor an opponent online via videos. It's sickening.

    If anything, by making it an honest and fair system I bet they could actually make MORE money, because people would want to continue. How much money has SDS lost by people that simply quit and never came back?

    I am done if I should ever get lucky and play well enough to finish all the programs I have left and will never spend a penny on their product. I didn't buy 22 and have zero interesting in paying for a fresh paint job and a pricey roster update with 23.

    But because I am at the bottom of the barrel my opinion means squat, and I get that.

    This game is by no means pay to win lmao its the easiest ultimate team experience out of all the sports games they litterally give you everything for free

    So all of those lame [censored] teams people post on Reddit with god squads but not a single card has reached parallel 1 didn’t pay for those teams?

    I played BR a lot more this year to finish the Program and get the "Flawless 12-0" packs (despite never going more than 6-0-- unfair?)
    BR is by far the most bizarre form of the game-- bounced balls in front of the plate hit fair, ridiculous fielding and base running glitches, and way too many "Did that just happen?" moments.

    If you want to get totally aggrevated for the Holidays, play BR.

    And as my christmas present from SDS I got cheated again. Played a guy who was even worse than I am. Took a shutout into the 9th inning and this guy, who had all of 2 hits in the game and chased everything especially inside sliders, so with 2 out and an 0-2 count Mariano Rivera on the mound, slider aimed inside magically went into the heart of the strike zone for a double.

    Next batter hits another 0-2 pitch aimed way out of the strike zone that magically ended up in the upper part of the zone with what had to be the absolutely slowest exit speed ever nicked the tiniest portion of the foul pole for a game winning home run.

    Working as intended.

    So you’re telling us that you had either zero or one run scored in 9 innings on All-Star and a pitch that floated in the zone(which happens to all of us, including your opponent) is the issue? Maybe try batting practice?
