And...another person who doesn't understand how baseball works. Or physical science. These posts are redundant and stupid.
Your response is just stupid
Says the "not conspiracy theorist" who believes in "comeback codes."
I don't know about comeback codes but what OP said is true. You think it is coincidence that game after game guys who swing and miss at everything for 7 innings straight then suddenly catch every break and then the HRs start rolling out like clockwork.
No. It's not a coincidence. Pitchers miss. Hitters get lucky. Or...one player has been taking into account the pattern that the person has been using and is able to guess lucky on a pitch. You know...like baseball. This is similar like the idiot who said every time Mike Trout squares up a ball, it's a home run...when in reality, that's far from the truth. If I recall, because I'm not going to research it again, about 40% of Mike Trout's hard hit balls are hits.
Pitchers get tired. Sometimes, all it takes is a player to get a lucky hung slider. Sometimes, a player repeatedly throws high fastballs until finally, it gets timed up right. That's not comeback logic. It's baseball. Somebody has to win, which inevitably means somebody is going to make a mistake.
I'm not saying the game is flawless, but unwrap the tinfoil on your heads, because what you all describe and get all up in arms about is the natural way of things.
You are incorrect. Trout hits about 43% of all hit balls hard. His hit % on those is well above 40%.
2018 mlb balls hit above 95 mph
.524 BA, 1.047 SLG, .653 wOBAWel, I admittedly could be misremembering. It’s been a few months, so I could have the context wrong, or the result.

Yes if it happened 1 time or a few times out of 100s of games then that would make it an outlier. But when this exact situation the OP described and has happened to me more often than I can remember, happens time and time and time again, then that becomes a pattern. And there is something to that.
I will remove the tinfoil once you remove the blinders.
So, you’re telling me that in a game of MLB The Show, where it’s one player versus one player, that through 7 innings, a player could keep someone off balance, and the outlier is that a pattern would be picked up? You’re joking, right?

For those of you that play every year. Were good/good outs like 75% of the time?
-
Were 85% of all liners and grounders directly into the infielder's gloves?
-
Was it HR or bust legit 90% of run totals?
I've been pretty quiet on here and just observing as a first time player. Wanted to give it some time for a patch, or maybe just to get used to it.
Played 2 RS games today and they were like EVERY OTHER ONE I've played:
Pitchers duel for 7 innings, maybe someone squeaks in a run off some crappy contact hit + error.
8th - 9th inning rolls around and all of a sudden its HR derby.
-
Two people who couldn't buy a single if we blew the baseball gods are now hitting bombs.
-
Game ends 3-1, or 4-2 with the result feeling mostly random.
-
Why can't the simply balance the sliders. Less homeruns, more singles and doubles for good contact.
IF IT WAS LIKE THIS LAST YEAR, WHY DID YOU COME BACK?
I want to like this game and I'm honestly pretty [censored] good at it for my first year. Winning record in RS, made it to wild card, but its just not very satisfying slogging though pitchers duels / random HR mixed in every [censored] time.
Tl;DR How have you adjusted / enjoyed online play with so many good/goods not being rewarded? I want to enjoy this game during quarantine but am losing patience.
Everything you said is correct. This is my last year buying this crappy game.
They will never reward skill because it interferes with their $$$$. They need to allow the lower end players to still “compete “

In this game it's usually 9 players vs 9 players, often times more. If you are playing one vs one you are probably playing John McEnroe tennis.

You know...you're right. Besides...18 people working is far better for the economy than 2. Keeps the stubs rolling in to buy more headliner packs, which, of course, always include a shiny Mike Trout.

Seems hitting is worse this year tbh. I mean hits in the pci will sometimes read good/weak on feedback... HR’s still happen on good/weak contact and groundouts on good/squared up this year are way up. Too much DDA this year.

Are you the type of person that complains when you get extra hot sauce packets you didn't ask for at Popeyes? Because this (Too much DDA...) sounds like something they would say.

Since there are not any Popeyes nearby I don’t go there. Actually only ate there once. And your assumption is ridiculous. Who would complain about extra sauce packets? That’s free stuff!
