That is a first. I'm surprised if you didn't put your controller through your screen.

Then why do people play conquest over and over just wondering

Good, quick way to rack up innings for team affinities.

That's actually really cool.

Never, in the history of mankind, has a statement of fact been more true than that which you just typed, my slightly special friend.

Punctuation, or the lack thereof, can really hurt anybody's credibility, but I highly doubt you understand what I mean. So well said.

Itt, people who thought they were good and with the introduction of an actual skill gap, realised they weren't but can't accept it.

Pitching needs tuning and fielding needs fixing. That is all.

That is coming from me, a subpar player. A couple of people on this forum need serious therapy.

I don't mind pitching, yeah I occasionally hang a pitch that was a good release, but fine, I understand I can't throw every pitch perfectly. And what about fielding needs fixing. Please don't tell me you're a person who complains that paul Goldschmit not catching a ball when he is playing catcher.

Clearly you live under a rock, and therefore are an actual troll. If you have never experienced how bad fielding is you must have bought the special version. Just for the sake of the argument though, I'll give you an example. Last night I had my outfielder lock onto the ball, which still doesn't happen sometimes, put his glove up and just had the ball bounce randomly off his shoulder. Not a common fielder, either.

Saying there is nothing wrong with fielding makes any opinion you have null and void because you are clearly not playing the game.

Honestly, and this just a hunch, I think they will introduce award cards for each team.

I could be wildly wrong, but I can hope.

I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed.

I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn’t even know that I’m alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of casual chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says that [censored] is overrated just hasn’t done it properly. I believe that anyone claims to know what’s going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman’s right to choose, a baby’s right to live, that while all human life is sacred there’s nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you’re alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

Blaze on, brotha! Enjoy that blunt.

Didn't read the post at all. Just enjoyed the title.

What proof? He was clearly late and the feedback adjusted. It should have never read that (good/good) in the first place. There's a reason it went foul. I'd put it down to more of a glitch in the programming that it got the feedback wrong in the first place.

@hoboadam said in The Joshjays44 Prolems with The Show 20:

We need an offline only forum so the OP can go play with himself there.

I think he probably plays with himself far to frequently.

I actually pulled Aaron Judge out of a twitch drop pack. Lol

True story.

Do you want to complete collections? He's the most expensive key.

Wow... thanks for just saying what I said. Did you have a point while you were pumping yourself up?

Thanks for the really dumb reply.

Spare a thought for those who do it in real life. You think the pitch speeds are too fast in The Show, but you want realistic gameplay? Think again.

Not picking on anyone. I just found this really interesting.

I am no fanboy. I've ripped SDS plenty of times. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror, sunshine, to see where where the biggest problem lies.

@ComebackLogic said in I've Come to the Realisation...:

I don’t think it’s a case of the game is harder this year because they increased the skill gap. I think the game is harder this year because it’s all over the place and there’s no consistency in outcomes. This makes it harder to improve as you never know what game you’ll be playing from one day to the next.

I don't think you can say that. If you look at the leaderboards, like I've mentioned, it's the same people there. They seem to be able to get consistent results. I was chatting to one of those guys and he was hitting .400 consistently, and yes, he is just that much better than me.

The skill gap is very real this year. It's time to "git gud", or simply accept that you're not as good as you thought you were. I know I have, but I'll try to improve.

That perhaps the game isn't trash, it may simply be that I'm not as good as I thought I was. Btw, I don't think I'm anything special.

Yes, it does have its flaws, but at the end of the day the same people are at the top of the leaderboards. I think that SDS gave us what we asked for in one particular aspect, and that is in skill differentiation.

The good players still win more than they lose, but those who aren't as skilled as they thought they were are struggling, myself included.

Do I think some things need to tuned? Why, yes, but at the core of it is the fact that SDS has made the skill gap a wider divide between those who can and those who can't.

I know I'll get roasted for this particular take and that is fine. I'm not enjoying the game at the moment because I don't think I'm skilled enough to play well enough right now.

I think it may be time for some people, like myself, to have a good look at their skill level and stop blaming everything on the core gameplay. Weird fielding glitches aside, the game has solid potential.

No. I don't know, maybe I am a trash player and this version is just highlighting how bad I really am at the game.

All of a sudden I can't hit or pitch anymore.

I don't think I'll play much going forward, I've just become horrifically bad at this game. It used to be the only game I played, I think it may be time to move onto something different.

@thinkbluedgr said in So I took some time to reflect:

My mom passed away from it. It's was horrible to go through but time heals. Appreciate your loved ones because you never know. Hopefully your families are safe and we start seeing less and less people getting this virus. The U.S. is peaking right now but in two weeks were supposed to see a decline in the number of cases. Let's hope this is over soon.

My deepest condolences to you and your family.
