General Frustrations
-
Is anyone else having the worst time with timing windows? Sometimes it feels like a sinker is coming in at a million miles an hour, and then the game randomly decides to just throw a changeup sinker in there. Even in the same at-bat, it just feels like my window to swing varies pitch to pitch. I'll be super late on a sinker, then prep for the next one, swing generally at the same speed, then all of the sudden I'm super early. It feels like the servers have gone to absolute [censored] and it's impossible to get a game with good connection (even though I have 1 gb internet).
Also the lineouts have to stop. When I lose a game because I lined out on 3 perfects and 4 other 100+ EV hits, and the opponent BS's their way with a 90 EV HR, it makes me want to pull my frickin hair out. I'm sick and tired of being punished for playing well while the game gifts a win to the opponent.
Pitching is at an all-time horrible place. Pinpoint is buggy at best and even when getting a perfect timing and perfect pattern your pitch goes into the center of the plate frequently. Then there's the games were your pitches warp into freaking Narnia because of bad server connection.
Overall I'm really enjoying the game this year, the content is awesome and the gameplay is slightly more refined than last year. But if I keep losing ranked games and missing out on rewards because of the absolute BULL that happens just about every game, I will lose my ever loving mind. I could say I'll consider not buying the game next year, but we all know that we're in the trenches and as it's the only real baseball game out there, there's no way I'm not buying 26.
Good luck to all out there and I'll pray for our collective sanity.

This isn’t the place to point out the gameplay stinks. The SDS white knights are going to come for you.

@FiveTick77_XBL When was the last time you lost because you had 3 perfect lineouts and your opponent got lucky?
-
The game doesn’t play well at all man unfortunately. I think it’s the lack of investing in the servers. It’s a complete toss up. Either u or ur opponent is going to Lag and the game is going to play like [censored] for one of you
-
@FiveTick77_XBL you are late to the party. The amount of complaints on the server issues and game play this year is enormous.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN literally yesterday lol
-
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL I completely agree. Sometimes it’s an amazing, fun experience and you know it’s functioning as it should. The rest of the time it feels like they’re running the game on McDonald’s wifi.
-
@Ditka06_MLBTS I know, this is my first time interacting with the community forum though. Had to type something intelligent out before I threw my chair out the window
-
@FiveTick77_XBL that I completely understand! The game play this year has made me want to break everything in [censored] house. I literally am on a break from the game right now. Taking a week off from it. And I may never buy another show game again. Because I won't put this much time into a game ever again not to be rewarded on my good inputs during gameplay. Period!! Ive tried everything, between purchasing a gaming monitor to high end hdmi cord, to hard lining everything, to a wired expensive controller. At some point I have to come to the conclusion its not my hardware and tools its the horrible way the game plays this year. If you are over compensating too much to try and enjoy a game. The game is the problem.

@FiveTick77_XBL Imo one of the best complain-threads … I get the frustration on some parts. Sometimes I lose playing better (does not happen very often) and then I think about the majority of games, where simply the overall better player won . But still, I get the frustration part of it
-
@FiveTick77_XBL I figured that would be the response and I had already looked at your game logs. No, that didn’t happen. In the 2 online games you played yesterday, there was only one perfect perfect, by you, and it was a Beltran HR.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I agree with you I really wish people would stop stating the number of things that went wrong when its not necessarily true. But that doesnt mean the game play isn't horrible this year. And how many people need to come on here and say the exact same thing as ive been stating for you to show a little respect and acknowledgement. You are on every thread stating the game play is great. Why? We dont care that its great for you. You are one person. There are alot more people saying its bad then the few of you saying its good.
-
@Ditka06_MLBTS Where have I said the gameplay is great? Do not mischaracterize what I’m saying.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN ok then I apologize. Seems as though you have been saying its great.
-
@Ditka06_MLBTS I’ve said repeatedly that it’s not as bad as the complaints make it seem to be. That is far from me saying it’s great.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN this happens pretty regularly actually. But you like to dive brownnose deep. Stop hopping in conversations you add nothing but your ability to brown nose. They won't sleep with you.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN its pretty bad goose you dont have to white knight for them.
-
@CHOMBONDO_PSN I’ve been critical of a lot of things this year and past years, but I really don’t care what you think.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN well [censored] dude. Your approval really would have made me feel better.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I've been searching g for your approval for years. Are you my papa?
