I used to rarely throw fastballs low in the zone, but I've actually had a lot of success with them recently. Once I'm ahead in the count I set it up with low sliders and change ups. I either catch the opponent looking, or they swing with terrible timing and pop out. If you don't set it up properly or if the opponent guesses right, of course it's going to get drilled.

Do we really want it on PC though? It'll open the door for people to use hacks and cheat their way to the top

Well no matter what it is in life thin skinned people and casual noobs will exist, you can't escape that...if those people want to lie to themselves then so be it. For me it wouldn't matter cause I only play Franchise, for your DD players (card collecting, All star team building casual noobs), I can see that as a huge problem.

Yeah buddy you're mislabeling yourself here. You're definitely a casual noob with your years of playing against bots. If I'm wrong, play me.

In before Demise shows up

The sad part is that they've actually had superior gameplay in the past, the solution to perfecting this game is as easy as tweaking the mlb 16/17 engine and adding all the new content. Literally NO one asked for a new hitting engine in 18 but SDS stuck to their guns and kept regressing since then. Profits > quality

Tbh I’m mostly ok with a huge nerf against the runner in rundowns. Anyone who is of a certain age probably remembers playing baseball games in the SNES era, and how easy it was to cheat by inducing rundowns and then fooling the brainless CPU. So I’m fine with a rundown being essentially an automatic out. What I do NOT like, Sam I am, is how incredibly long it takes runners who round a base to stop and go back. So if I briefly briefly consider turning a double into a triple, I pretty much have to commit because the base runner is going to stop for donuts and a quickie before going back to second.

That's the truth. I know on Bases Loaded, as long as you got on you could turn it into a Little League Homerun.

Can we get Oko, Paste & Bay added to Diamond Dynasty?

I was a Utah fan, so for me its Agua.

Nice ... I was Philly. Oko dropping bombs and Carr on the bump.

The whole game is rigged bro. Not just moments

I recommend selling the game and waiting for 21 cause the servers for this game are terrible

So I have posted a couple times about how I haven’t purchased this years game because I was so frustrated with ‘19 and also because of all the issues with online play that have been expressed on the forums. I would like to ask if anything is changed. In a perfect world I would like the issues to be fixed so I can feel comfortable giving SDS my money for a job well done. But I don’t think that’s the case. So is the game to a point where it’s worth it? Or should I just stick with ‘19 until ‘20 is on sale for super cheap? Mainly asking about online play.

its less than the price of a dinner date at a steakhouse

if you were good at previous versions, then you will be beating them again hard this year

Honestly I don’t even care if I win as much as I don’t want to deal with the headache of the game playing like trash.

all depends on what you define as trash mate

one mans treasure is another mans poison

i don't play much these days but i did a couple RS games last night and it felt good to me - pitched like a beauty with blood diamond feller and that Cy young saberhagen card

That’s a bug report right there. You can upload that clip in your report too.

Question, did the first baseman set up there as if that was the bag or was he teleported or something?

So I usually buy the show every year but 19 frustrated me so much that I decided to wait and see how things went with 20 before I bought. Looks to me like the hitting is broken again and I'm debating on if I should buy 20 or stick to 19 and skip this year. I still have a ton to grind on 19 and am comfortable with the way there game plays so I'm cool with sticking with 19.

I REALLY don't want to go through another year of shakingy my head because the game play is so bad. I'll never buy another MLBTS game until it's fixed and I'm ok with that.

Thoughts?

Don't buy it...i think I may actually hate this game...it truly breaks my heart to say that.

It pains me to say it, but I think I'm going to skip it this year. Or wait for a deep deep sale. It just seems like no changes have been made to the core gameplay and SDS just slapped on a new coat of paint. Like they keep the gameplay the same and have the entire staff work on creating new content for the game. And I'm saying this with NO baseball to watch and the season delayed. I just really think SDS doesn't deserve my $ if they're not actually going to care about how the game plays.

The sad part is that just a week ago, I was playing a very solid baseball game. Sure, there were some issues, but the main complaint (pitching) was addressed by implementing a patch to hitting. I won't say hitting was completely flawless, but it was at least based on skill. All that SDS needed to do was make pitching based on user input and allow more time for CS and WS level players to actually reach those divisions.

SDS saw a problem with hitting and offense being too OP. After all, most games were pretty high scoring, but you'd expect that with a video game. They failed to realize that A) the majority of people were playing on AS difficulty (which is typically for the average player), and B) a huge contributing factor to these high scoring games was that pitches would be hung over the plate regardless of user input. Their solution was to jump the gun and make hitting "harder" by making it more random and completely disregard pitching.

The consequence? A large majority of the player base is now pissed off and you have 11 different people recommending to not waste your money on this game

Thank you. I’m off work tomorrow and plan to try and figure out once and for all why I get network errors most days even with good speeds. I want to play better with The Show 20 and not getting network errors will help me in that regard.

I just somehow pulled a homerun in BR with Kole Calhoun on an early swing on a low and away changeup. Early swing/good contact. No doubt shot over the right field wall. Gotta love it.

I've played 2 conquest games in the past couple hours. The first was a stronghold game against the Tigers on ROOKIE that went TEN innings with FIFTEEN well struck balls that were outs. The second was a steal fans game against the padres on HoF in which they didn't have a hit until the bottom of the third and here's how it went. SS Kenley jansen pitching. Strikes out the first guy. Second batter walks on 4 BORDERLINE pitches. Next batter hits the ball straight back to the pitcher, I hit the green on the throwing meter to throw to second base for an easy double play to win the game. Jansen stands there for 3 secs, and throws the ball to second after the batter is already standing on second, has had a drink of water, tied both his shoes, and taken a quick nap. Next batter doubles into the gap scoring 2 runs and winning the game.

I mean come on. I REAAAALLLYY don't want to say the game is scripted but when stuff like this happens, it's hard to deny it.

Every time I play a game like this, the chances of my buying 20 go down. I'm just not going to pay money for this type of experience year after year.

Sorry, like I said, I just needed to vent.

Get better at the game. You played on Rookie...even if you had 15 balls squared up for outs...if you are good one would leave the park. Game isn't scripted.

Get better at what exactly? Squaring up the ball with good/good timing? Should I try hitting HIGHER than 110 exit velos? Please be specific. Should I try hitting balls THROUGH the defenders gloves? Is there a magic result higher than good/squared up that I'm missing?

I did hit 2 homers in the top of the 10th inning. So I am good enough to hit home runs against rookie apparently... Oh and those 2 homers had the same contact input and exit velos as multiple balls that were outs. So what exactly should I be better at? Like I said, please be specific.

Get better at hitting to be specific. You were on Rookie, if you couldn't score more than you gave up in a three inning game.......go do some custom practice, it helps a lot.

The notification and link is real. We work very closely with the research team and occasionally put the word out for them.

Thank you for the reply! Was a little freaked after I signed up for it and now I can’t login to the PSN from my home router IP address...
