You need to try Ranked man. It’s actually the best mode. Don’t be deterred
i've tried it , not for me. guys exploiting the game , win at all costs. it's not baseball.
-
I thought people who were exploiting were playing offline mini season
-
Win at all costs is kind of the point of a baseball game, no?
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN as long as it falls in their parameters
-
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL there is really not much to exploit. Learn how to hit the inside pitches. Thats the majority of the exploiting. Spamming inside. Once you start crushing those they dont know what to do. Sit with your pci inside and remove half the plate. Only swing at inside pitches.
-
I am skipping out because online is full of cheaters, bots and general toxic players.
Since this gets repeated over and over by those that don't play online, I think its worth repeating again that this is not accurate. Its not full of cheaters, bots and toxic players at all.

It's not a threat it's a reality -- maybe HOW I stated it made it out to be more but this year SDS has done so many things to annoy it's fan base that this is just another nail in the coffin for some and maybe for some the final one.
If your a player who can accept this stuff and just smile and go -- oh well i will power through it. Then good for you but for some it's not and if SDS does not realize it then they are more gone then even I thought. I fully admit in some of my posts i get very combative not with SDS but with others but this one I have not cause if I am being honest I am at my last breaking point.
It's strange before I saw the program the thought of uninstalling the game legit crossed my mind and I was like -- naw give it a little more time. I DO love aspects of the game and I legit want this game to be good and I know they know how to do it but they just are dropping the ball this year. -- PERIOD

@JenkinMeyer_PSN That is real baseball. I play to win also but I don't use the glitched cards and don't run 9 switch hitters. Can't imagine playing like that. And I absolutely hate the Tulo playing a flawless CF BS!
P.S. I have used Grant Taylor tho. His delivery may be goofy but I've rocked him and don't think he's actually "glitched" like Hader and King who certainly are.

I guess when it's 1st and 2nd no outs and the guy rolls over a grounder to 2nd and I turn the double play thinking the play is over like in real baseball. But only to discover the player is not stopping his player at 3rd but continuing to home, I shouldn't be dumb enough to not throw home thinking I'm playing a legit baseball opponent.
Guess it's my fault for not guarding myself from this type of player. Because you know, I think I was actually playing legit baseball.
If you play like this then you're the problem and why I avoid online.
-
@Ch-76-1908_PSN I also do not use all switch hitters. I use the cards i am good with. Using all switch hitters is lame. Im also not that bad hitting from the same side of the plate. Have to practice.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL Yer absolutely right. Aggressive and/or situational baserunning has no place in baseball whether it's real baseball or a video game. In a forum filled with MANY terrible takes this is right up there.
-
I don’t play like that either. Some people do, you just throw home and hopefully you aren’t animation locked
I know what you’re saying. Unfortunately we just have to sigh and move on
I’m like 30-100 check my game history. I only play with my Cardinals online and just try to play a good baseball game

so tell me one time in a real baseball game in the situation i just described where the batting team is dumb enough to try to go home when the first baseman has the ball???
Pretty much almost never.
Because when I play sports videogames, I want realism. When I play the CPU, I get more realism than I play a human opponent.
Glad you pointed your attitude on how you play this game because GUYS LIKE YOU is EXACTLY WHY I avoid online gaming.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL Wait Ramone left??? Where’d he go?

exactly - the animation gets locked too and the other guy you're playing knows that and exploits the game to win at all costs.
Like I said, I want to play baseball, not mario.

Most people aren’t like that. Yeah it’s annoying as heck for people to exploit animations and all of that [censored]. SDS needs to step up and correct some things
But the majority of people are cool

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL Wait Ramone left??? Where’d he go?

He is still there but he got 'soft fired' and they put him on the negro leagues portion of the game. So they pigeonholed him into doing one thing instead of doing many things and being the face of the game.

I miss the dude. I’d like to see Dolenz take his old position
They dropped the ball once they stopped communicating with the fanbase and answer with cricket chirps

yeah when Ramone and the other 3/4 guys were the face of the game with the previous management, this series was top notch. Not perfect but they seemed to actually care about what players wanted offline and online. PLAY HOW YOU WANT was a real thing.

LuvMyXBOX_XBL Congrats! Maybe search for a baserunning video on YouTube I guess? That's all I can do 4u. There are hundreds of reasons to complain about this game but I don't think this is one. Also, I didn't say I do it. I try not to give up outs on the bases. However I don't blame anyone but myself if someone catches me off guard. Ever heard a base coach say "turn and look" There's a reason for that ya know?
