Sds you scared all the casuals away. Not good for your game.

@Apolloz_99_MLBTS no he is right. The inputs when good are so hit and miss in this game. The game is extremely hard to begin with. Then when you square up a ball and rng takes over, thats extremely demoralizing to a casual player. A top 5 percent player it doesnt effect as much. Because they can do it over and over again... square up the ball i mean.
If you are a pro at this game a perfect line out doesnt effect you that much. Youll square up the next one just as easily. A beginner or casual player it effects tremendously. The game has become a very negative experience for alot of players.
Not to mention foul balls. It’s essentially equivalent to a basketball player getting 10 chances to hit a free throw. Of course sooner or later it will go in.
On the other hand you will watch your opponent foul off 100 very bad timing swings.
Next inning you are slightly off on the pci within the strike zone with good timing and you go down 1-2-3 on soft contact in three pitches haha.It’s enough to drive anyone insane.

@WolfgangMLB_XBL or you pop the ball up in foul territory for an out, when you barely miss it, meanwhile your oppenent just fouled off 10 pitches the inning before lol. Omg I feel this! Total joke fest.

It's always the opponent who catches a break and gets all the late hits and have bloops dropping.

@Dolenz_PSN no we just remember it more when it happens to us. It happens on both sides. The point is just way too much rng.
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL you can’t just get a hit every time you get a good input. There will still be line drive outs. It shouldn’t be as simple as I had good timing and that you should automatically be on base. Otherwise let’s just go back to where every hit is a home run and the score is 11-10 every game.
-
@Apolloz_99_MLBTS no I agree. But the really good players do put up 10 runs every game regardless. Just less rng. Make the game equal for both sides. It never is. One team always has an rng advantage.
-
I play DD offline only now. Until SDS makes timing hitting viable in ranked etc, I won't bother.
-
@Jacky-Chan1_XBL what makes it harder online?
-
@Jacky-Chan1_XBL you know what this isnt a bad idea especially for casuals. Anything below 700 rank timing hitting should be relevant. All the pros on this game put up 10 plus runs. Why cant we?
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL yeah online rn is ridiculous I’m omw back up now but fell down to pennant race for first time since night one I think if my memory serves me right.
-
The really good players are actually way more likely to complain about rng. All the elite players bemoan it 24-7.
But, what's the fix? Their games are already insanely high scoring.
This game plays better than you think when theres two good players (not game beaking or elite players, just good - say an 850 player)...and theyre playing with like gold shield players. Thats what this game is meant for.

@rubicante23_PSN I would love to see fielding be a tad bit harder. Every play seems to be routine. In years past speedy guys could beat out slow infield hits. Not anymore. Something ive noticed. Speed does not matter in the game from home to first base. They cant beat out infield hits. But they can steal every base no problem.
In years past 99 speed guys would get in field hits out run it. Not anymore. Like I continue to say. This game gets worse and worse....
-
@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I think it was like 2019 or 2020, they actually did make fielding quite a bit harder. The timing on the throw meter was really tricky to figure out consistently and errors happened a lot more often. Cards with really high fielding attributes even became part of the meta. But the player base whined and complained so loudly that it only lasted a couple months before SDS dumbed things down again and fielding has been braindead easy ever since.
