You mean Barry bondts?

This isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure

@twisted-_-tea-_psn said in Man SDS messed this one up badly. Super bummed.:

Pinpoint is not the issue. There’s a pretty good skill gap with pinpoint. Especially since the update making it hard to get perfects. Better players give up less runs because they don’t leave that slider over the heart of the plate every few innings. Bad players do. More of a skill gap that pure analog. Felt like the moonshot event with no control of any pitch

No, no, no.

When you can get perfect placement on 80% accuracy with perfect release that's not a skill gap. That's a broken mechanic.

This is PPP in a nutshell:

How'd you do on that test?
I got perfect.
Wow, you got every question right?
No, I got 5 wrong.

Perfect needs to mean something.

I don't understand the frustration with a flash sale. This usuly helps people lol

@misfits_138_1_psn said in Any Chance at Gameplay Changes in '22?:

Particularly the hitting interfaces?

Zone is just a bizarre concept in general.
Directional is too easy at the lower levels, and not useable at the higher levels.
I don't know anyone who uses analog.

Pinpoint makes Mitch Williams look like Greg Maddux once you master it. Completely eliminates the control attribute.

I would like to see player attributes come into play more-- just because you're a good zone hitter doesn't mean Dee Gordon should be able to pull a high outside fastball into the RF gap.

Or should we expect another repackage with Otani on the front?

1. Pinpoint needs to be much harder to dot with. Greater margin of error. Too many perfect results on non perfect/perfect/perfect inputs.

2. 102 outlier has to have a pitch count on how often it can be thrown in a game for both starters and RP's.

3. foul balls, particularly on AS, need to be decreased - maybe get rid of the outter PCI range entirely?

I feel like those 3 things would drastically improve game play for the majority of people.

Degrom if Cabrera is on the bump. Cabrera if Degrom is on the bump.

Kidding lol

Because you said so?

Dude, you must have a miserable life. Always confrontational, always acting like a clown. Seems to be guys with usernames with Killer and Psycho that have this behavior. Feel sorry For you, hope you find some happiness.

He doesn't know any other way. It's not his fault for below average emotional or intellectual IQ that he lashes out at everything and everyone that he doesn't agree with. I'm thinking FASDs

Can't you select the outer ring to gradually disappear during an AB? Or are you talking about implementing coding where anything outside the internal PCI, minus a few inches, is a swing and a miss?

I'm talking about getting rid of its impact entirely such that only balls that fall within the active PCI area (whatever that is for a particular hitter/ and difficulty) can create contact.

My biggest issue with the TA2 grind:

1. massively inefficient to even try to work on missions in online play. They should give 5x PXP for using TA2 players in online play.

2. TA1 grind was fine as people were still getting their teams together and the OVRs really helped people fill out their team. Now those cards are just collection fodder yet most people likely have little to no need for majority of these cards like they did in TA1.

@raesone_psn said in 98 realmuto or 98 piazza?:

That's a tough one. I've been rocking with Realmuto and I was convinced he is the best catcher in the game by a mile. But I loved the 1st inning boss Piazza, so I said his 99 would be my catcher eventually when he dropped. Now that he's here, I obviously put him on the squad but I gotta say I'm not too sure yet because Realmuto is just that good. Not just from a defensive perspective (catcher pop time quirk), but his bat is actually a ton better than 100ish across the board in my opinion. I'm going to give Piazza most at bats now and see how I feel in a while.

Realmuto hits absolute tanks on PCI feedback that make no sense lol

And he's always launching balls on very early !

You're playing on rookie or veteran difficulty. That sh!t dries up real quick in HOF and even AS isnt the HR fest that many make it seem to be

I thought the server issues were going to be nonexistent when everyone moved to madden? What happened lol

@eccentrictexas6_xbl said in This Will be the Third Boss I've Missed:

Please SDS, please stop with timed innings programs. Even with Quad XP, there is very little chance of me making it to the bosses.

This will be the third one in a row I've missed out on.

Can you just stop putting a time limit on everything, please.

I know I will get swamped with, "it's so easy to get there", but it's actually not if you have a number of commitments and not a lot of time to play.

I know it won't matter to anyone, but I'm seriously considering making this my last version of the show. My time is my time, SDS, and it is valuable to me. I'm sick being timed and made to feel rushed on something that should actually just be for enjoyment.

What would be the point of playing the game if you got everything for nothing?

Once again, if your time is not valuable to you, that's fine. Having seen what's on the other side, I value it very differently. Time is all we have.

As for having something for nothing, what is it to you if they extend the innings and let you grind them at your leisure? It's still time, but at my choosing. I don't want it for nothing, I want it when I can do it. Your argument is quite moronic, and completely baseless.

I mean the cards are available in the auction house…complete whatever program you want and sell the reward to buy whatever player you missed.

Your entire first post did have a whining/protesting tone to it like you are being cheated.

Nope, that was not the intention and I apologise if that is how it came across. I simply would like the option to grind inning bosses at my leisure, not on SDS's clock. I'd like it set up like the team affinity, where you can pick and choose and work towards what you want, or the player programs.

I don't want anything for free. I just want to be able to achieve it in my time. If people want to complete it quicker, that's fine too. They can make more money flipping I guess.

Don't worry, you didn't come across that way to anyone with an actual brain and an IQ above 80.

@aaronjw76_mlbts said in Is there a new Griffey Jr yet?:

Haven't been playing the past few months or paying attention to content but curious if a new Griffey Jr dropped yet?

Nope....2nd Half one is still the best.

That's just garbage. Why they wait so long to drop his cards are beyond me. It's probably the one of a few cards that EVERYONE looks forward to and they wait until most of the player base has stopped playing the game.

So unfortunate.

Can't make it past one batter without reliever energy crapping out.

wtf is this

I'm seriously fine with the best players getting these rewards (either to sell and buy back or keep) ahead of us commoners. I believe we will still be able to get them, it will just take a bit longer.

@ShadowWalker166_XBL said in The grid slug/ online program:

I will not play diamond quest simply because the theme is to play it your way and wasted time on moments and showdowns where just plain bad luck dooms you, it makes it not worth it at all. But for others the mode might excite them but it is there new direction to reward that mode and reduce rewards in other modes. The non repeatable rewards in conquest is the ultimate insult

Diamond Quest would be much better if they gave a slight bump to the % for challenge wins AND made stats count.

Can we revert back to bronze and silver packs please? I can't imagine there is anyone that wants to open 15 of these packs at the end of a run lol

At least bronze and silver cards have a chance to fill in pieces for the larger collection.

@allday9128_PSN said in Proof that SDS doesn't care if they mess up.:

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN in one of his other 6000 posts about his 50 pack bundle, he said he played his first game during weekend Classic.

So that's the issue most likely. He played a weekend Classic game and not a ranked game.

I think it's closer to 6500 lol

good, screw the idiots that would continually screw markets with mass buy/sell orders. Spend the time to place orders individually now
