If I quit i make sure to let the ball land first its common curtesy.

I pulled Trout from a free headliner pack! Talk about giving new life to a game I have been struggling to have fun with. He homered and doubled in his first 2 AB's. Currently hitting .1000 Lol. This is key for a NMS player. Now I can use the stubs I've been saving on other 90+ diamonds.

If it took no skill, you'd see more people with 50% win records and more people in CS. Learn how to pitch.

Nah bro u know and I know that balls go down the middle when u locate some where else. Go play all star and throw pitches in the dirt. Will be a hit majority of the time

FACTS! low pitches get vaporized on Allstar because they hang over the plate. Change ups are the worst.

I'm gonna buy stock and turn 1200 into 120,000 then quit my job and live off the dividends. Why you ask because I give a GD about my future. Let me know how good Mantle is 10 years from now. If this is true these companies got you by the short and curlys. Ill pray for you

No you’re not.

1,200 to some people is a lot different than 1,200 to other people.

Some people spend that in a bar in a month. Some people make that in a day. If someone plays a game [censored] near all year and wants to buy something that adds to their enjoyment no need to hate on them for it.

It just sounds like jealousy. Who cares what other people do with their money? I know I don’t.

Yeah I'm jealousy of you for getting Mickey Mantle and watching routine fly balls bounce off his forehead. Real jelly bro. Lol I'll have that same card after spending precisely $0. The grind is the best part of this game. Why spend if you don't have to. Its called delayed gratification. Give it a shot sometime its way more rewarding.

Its harder to get to HOF than HOF itself. I got 120 wins in the last event but cant get out of allstar in RS. Its the worst. I lose to bums that swing at every single pitch until SDS bails them out by gifting them one down the middle. I miss 1 pitch that costs me the game. Meanwhile I get weak flys on centered balls or "good ok" feedback. Its called the Lil billy mode.

The momentum this year feels juiced compared to last year too. Once you get a couple bloop and a blast, it feels insurmountable to come back if you’re down, or impossible to get out if you’re hitting. Been on both sides more than once this year.

That's actually a very good point, I hadn't put too much stock into that up until now but that could very well be a big part of the issue.

Hitting has been pretty on point for me this year, definitely more consistant than last year. Sucks you are having such a horrible experience that we hear about every 20 minutes.

Stfu

LMAO must be Ramone's burner acct.

Get rewarded big time! I played this guy yesterday who swung at EVERY single pitch no matter the location and got hits, fouls and scored runs like a top 50 player. (no swing throughs) The most frustrating gaming experience of all time.

This game needs a patch big time. Everything they said they fixed is worse than it was before they said they fixed it. I now know what everyone is complaining about. I've been playing this game for a long time and it feels like 2018 all over again.

Sorry for the rant but I needed to get this off my chest so I can try to move forward and have fun with this game again!

@sportpimpin_xbl said in Ppl who swing at every single pitch:

Your pitching game must be terrible

It doesn't take a neuroscientist to throw the ball in the dirt.

@hustlinowl_psn said in Get rid of Pitcher Confidence:

What y’all crying about today

This wack @$s post you keep coping and pasting every day. That's what we cryin' bout.

Cuz it [censored] sure isn't reflecting in his stats. Judge gets a +3 and my guy Raffy big scoops isn't even a 84. 92 power is disrespectful. J.D gets a +1 LMAO!!! Pretty disappointing update if your a sox fan. Machado +1, Trout -1 WTF is going on here?!

@bbouge1189_xbl said in So tired of losing games when you destroy every ball RNG is WAAYYYYYY TO STRONG THIS YEAR!:

Make a wish hits telling me I'm early when the ball goes through my bat in the PCI or get 16 launch angle with 112 exit velo and it's a fly out at shippet to have scrubs come up in the 9th and get a Walk off from a very late ball way outside the zone. It's like the game takes zero skill this year and it's all about who gets the most RNG. I didn't know SDS TURNED INTO EA SPORTS. YES I'm mad from a loss cuz this is turning into a repetitive thing. Winning the whole game shut someone out the whole game 1 2 hits in 8-9 innings then magically they get a few base runners from hits that just shouldn't be. But I'm denied hit after hit after hit with solid contact good pci placement with the best cards in the game. Magically hung pitches on perfect pitches it's just way to mf random. NVM the connection ppl who have terrible connection the whole game but can crank the ball cuz nothing works right on your end. Plz SDS FIX THIS MESS

Agreed, the RNG and or DDA stops once your opponent ties the score. Then all of a sudden you can get outs again.

Yeah everything feels random on good and even perfect swings. If you don't take away the hard stuff inside you will get owned for 9 innings. Not the biggest fan of hitting this year as a whole.

@misfits_138_1_psn said in Halladay's Stuff:

I only caught Halladay when he was in Philly.
I remember the nasty cutter (should have way more break in the game), and the hard sinker.
4-seamer obviously.
But I swore he threw a circle change, and I don't recall the big curve.
Can some Jays fans help me out here?
I could be totally wrong of course.

He threw a sweeping curve. The thing was like a Frisbee. I'm sure his 99 card will have it but I don't think he threw a circle change.

@jahlove1722_mlbts said in There has to be some sort of handicap or something:

It’s called DDA, every other game has it why wouldn’t the show

Sad but true. They treat us like lab rats.

Yeah, HH for PC was best baseball game in the PSX era, and not even close. HH was on ps2, and was good but was still no where as great as PC version, which is how MVP was able to be best of that Gen. Although I still prefer ASB.

And yes PS2 still holds up, especially for NCAA Football. Ps2>Ps3 for that game.

PS2 HH is king IMO.

Did you play HH on PC before it was on PS2? There was just so much more that you can do on PC than you could on PS2 back then. Along with the great game play, the one thing the PS2 version got right.

I didn't on PC but I assume it was the same game. The game play is still fun as we fired up the ps2 a few weeks back.

@the_dragon1912 said in Depth perception:

I use SZ high myself. Regular SZ just isn't it anymore imo

Yeah you a re right, it just isn't the move since the slider is tough to read.

@saintleo14_mlbts said in Depth perception:

I use strike zone 3. The others all mess with my timing.

Interesting. I may give this one a go! Thanks

What is the best camera view for picking up how far the ball is away from the plate. Currently using SZ and Everything looks like a heater down the middle then I'm out in front.

Or if you can offer any tips on pitch recognition that would be great. Thanks!

@eatyum_psn said in Hey SDS.:

I think you are confusing random rng with intentional rigging against you. It's not rigged, if you want to rely on RNG (especially on the pitching side), you are going to have absolutely dominant games and then also ones where nothing goes your way. That's not rigged, that's just what RNG is

You are so right on this. You better be very consistent or you will be subject to RNG madness. Consistency separates the good from average players.
