Because people keep pumping money into the game for DD. It doesn't matter if the gameplay is good or not, as long as they are getting the amount of extra money from people buying stubs. I'm not saying this to hate on people who do buy stubs, if you have the money and want to spend it on this game that's fine ( I bought some the first year I ever played DD, but have not and never will again for something that is only good for one season) but they will never fix the many many issues they have in all the other modes if people keep doing that. Franchise is basically unplayable now because all their resources have gone toward Diamond Dynasty, which is understandable from a company stand point but you lose the fan base that supported the original version of this game that was all about franchise

Yes, thank you for the update. We all understand you guys can't respond to every post, but periodic updates like this at least let everyone know that yes you guys are working on a patch or are aware of issues, etc. The longer it goes without hearing anything, the more people get aggravated and upset because they feel like the problems aren't being heard. We also understand you can't make the game right for everyone, but if an overwhelming majority are having the same issues just knowing they are being looked at and an update every now and then (not expecting daily or even weekly) will calm a lot of it down.

All these complaints about lefties, maybe they're right! Boom! Roasted!

Aim a pitch a foot outside, have perfect release and it goes down the middle of the plate. Hit a ball perfect/perfect and it's low exit velo, hit the same pitch with your PCI nowhere close and it's a no doubter. Your outfielders likes to watch the ball bounce 3 inches in front of him instead of bothering to catch it or they like to let it bounce off their stupid face. Infielders take all day to leisurely toss the ball to first with no urgency. Franchise is a broken s*** show, it goes on and on

Have you guys experienced a pitching glitch, when you miss the pitch, and the ball is heading wide, but then a glitch happens and it readjusts itself and goes down the middle? It usually results in a bomb too lol

Yes, I’ve made a few video clips of it.

It’s just another example of the terrible synchronisation in H2H play this year.

Good job posting it, will get the developers hopefully fixing it at some point...

Lol

@The_DoctorsWife said in Advice For All-Timers Program!:

Is being out after a foul bunt at 2 strikes an actual thing in baseball? Or was it just made up for the purpose of the sim?

That's been a rule forever, if you bunt with 2 strikes and it's foul your out.

@DoIHearBossMusic said in Hope Cespedes is okay.:

What a d-bag, overrated [censored]

And now I read he was upset about playing time so basically he's a whiny little [censored] who quit on his team. How many millions you got for not playing for two years? Stf up, hopefully nobody signs him again

@T_Bro15 said in Where is Shogo Akiyama?:

Why is Shogo Akiyama still not in the game?

Another update, STILL not added. But they find the time add a bunch of common free agents just so every pack now has better odds of garbage free agents nobody wants. What a joke. But no, they're not driven by micro transactions to get people to buy stubs only to get players you've never heard of. But add a starting player? Nah, ain't got time for that. We were working on 27 year old common Craig Brooks, who's never played in the mlb.

I know I can't be the only one, but why do I keep reading "content is great this year"? What content? A fourth version card of the same player for purchase with stubs (which they hope people pay actual money for)? What's the new content? They've deleted numerous things over the years from mode that were already there and made a lot of modes unenjoyable to try to get everyone to DD to spend more money. And adding new cards isn't content - it's a carrot to try to get people to buy a new version. New content is expanding the modes you have, not removing features that were already there to try and force people to play the grindfest or pay cash for cards. Cards are good, content has been terrible for a few years now to me.

It's because nobody can get their [censored] kicked in a video game anymore, it's not that someone is better than you and you take your beating and learn from it, the game will make you stay in it and penalize a good player and the guy who has no idea what he's doing can hit bombs and feel good. This is online play, you basically have to accept it or don't buy this game

@kingakp_xbl said in How do you make a sports game completely unrelated to skill:

Its a game

Yes, it's a game that's rigged to help weaker players (which are the majority) keep up with better players so they stay interested. It also works in reverse as some better players will think they need "better cards" when they lose to weaker players with better cards. It's all designed to manipulate people into staying interested and SPEND MORE MONEY.

Have you ever been to a carnival? All those games seem within reach, but what happens? You wind up spending a ton of dough before you get a medium sized pink dragon with googly eyes. Same philosophy here.

This guy gets it. Every sports game nowadays

@eatyum said in Cody Bellinger prestige:

I just play to play, I don't care if I win or lose an event game, I just want to play. I'm not going to throw meatballs and I wouldn't expect someone to throw that to me. Yeah, It'll take me longer to get prestige that way, but that's part of the experience, for me I want to "earn" it, not get in a week.

I agree with this, but please just don't dashboard when I do hit a HR lol.

I hold the x button down the second I can to skip all that [censored]. It's a waste of time to look at a animation that looks like she's from ps2 days, and says nothing of any consequence ever

Yeah it's stupid. If he would have been on the Yankees he would have been in the game ASAP

I am seriously considering boycotting baseball because of this,which won't affect this year(paid for months ago and I don't buy stubs) but I was looking forward to next year on the ps5.and seeing live games again.

Support SDS, just don't go to any games.

I don't want to punish SDS , but mlb gets(probably huge) chunk of money from the license.

That's something they've already purchased though (SDS/Sony). I doubt they make any revenue from the game itself.

I will most likely get the 21 game,cause that's not fair to SDS,
I'm just so frickin mad at the owners,while both sides make plenty of money,it is really despicable to make them take a pay cut for the same work.

Preach to the choir bro. The owners are sucking the life out of baseball and it's going to hurt the league. Baseball had the chance to be the sole saviour of sports, it could have been on its 2nd week of spring training... But owners don't want that. And it's not like Baseball isn't profitable, it's not like these teams aren't making money, all they had to do was defer the remaining % of money throughout the next 5 years and things would have been fine. 2021 would strike and they could have recouped any losses by 2022-2023.

But no.

Baseball had a golden opportunity to capitalize on being the only major sport going, but instead we got this - billionaires crying about being "broke" and throwing away any good will and fans they could have gained. Instead they're losing some of the fan base because of stupid BS

I'm just not gonna show up tomorrow but not tell my employer, tell them see ya next year. See how that goes lol. And everybody else I work with? Yeah, Censored all you too

My concern is if I stay there would be trouble, but if I go it would be double. So you gotta let me know

The whole games stupid, you can have perfect perfect and get beat by late/early all day long. A monopoly on a sport turns in to this - look at garbage [censored] Madden. It's all about DD and stubs purchase, [censored] rewarding anyone for being good at it. And God forbid you want to play franchise in anything anymore, they remove features every year not add them.
