Let’s talk the insane fact that homeruns are truly the only way to score in the game every year. In IRL 40 percent of all runs in game come via the homerun, meaning 60 percent is from sac fly’s, force outs, or hits. So why when the game released , could we score in multiple ways, like in actual baseball? What made you go back to the homerun derby, we have been experiencing since 2017?

Well to start in real life MLB teams don't have a fantasy lines up of the greatest players in the history of the game in their lines up who can track down most baseball not hit over the fence.

But yet the fielders in todays game are faster than most of these legends. And yet homeruns are only 40 percent of the games runs. So this makes zero sense.

And yet you are comparing baseball eras which can’t be done do to the changes in the game and advances of the equipment used in the game. Just saying.

The game is not bad. Nothing is perfect, but it’s a pretty good product, and easy on the wallet relative to other sports games.

It's a glitch that's been in the game for years. Doesn't happen often but when it does. I have had some I throw to the catcher for play at the plate and he freezes. After run scores he swipes.

The only issues I have with this game is lately, some games that I’ve played the button timing is way off on some games against the computer while I’m pitching and hitting on DD . Then it seems it fixes itself and will go back to timing is off again . It seems like it only happens late night. The next day it works well again . Another thing that bugs me a little bit is the flickering when playing in custom stadiums . Other than the timing issues ( very frustrating ) I’m really having fun with this game.

Too many hits on balls that are miles out of the zone, happening every game. It's just not baseball

How about that Naquin HR just now on a pitch 2-3 feet inside

Yeah, but does that happen multiple times every game in real life?

A hit on a pitch outside the zone? Yes probably on average 3-4 hits, but think most mlb players are pretty disciplined to not swing and only get a few at bat

@ballneverlie_xbl said in Server issues:

I'm sorry you're having freezes. I havent had any freezes since the update. Maybe just bad luck on your end?
You must live in a bubble because freeze offs have been happening consistently throughout the community

Solution for this?

Stride input only with zone online.

It’s broken, the devs said in the 2nd stream of the year they’re looking into it. So do not try to say it’s not. It can be worked around but a good hitter abusing it is a nightmare. I also noticed xbox players are using it the most.

@beanball0571_psn said in Freeze off:

Hey who I’m in a freeze off with in br I will win. I’m a retired military combat vet, I have nothing but time. So good luck

Were you winning? It just occurred to me that I have never once had a freeze off occur when I was losing. Not even one time. I’ve had it happen probably 100 times over the years and never when I was losing. Seems fishy.
Seems fishy, when he grounds out to big papi at first for the 2nd out of the inning and bam freeze’s. And I’m sorry I don’t freeze games intentionally, I like to earn my wins. 2ndly he was home team

@the_fools_sip_psn said in My thoughts about the issues with the game:

You don’t know that your opponent is using contact swing.

First off, yes you can, and secondly - i've done it myself just to confirm. Contact swing gives you a giant PCI covered area and has more power than normal swing - it's broken.

I don’t think it gives more power by itself. It obviously increases the size of the PCI and more importantly it increases the window of getting a Perfect/Perfect which in return gives more power.

My concern with “fixing” it is they aren’t going to know how to do it without nerfing perfect/perfects altogether

Yuuuuupppp

Think the servers might be going down I keep getting errors now and failed challenges.

just a feedback bug

Logging on and playing

Are you finding games at all?

No I was just logging on to prove a point. People make these sweeping statements without actually checking their facts and throw them out in these forums as fact and don’t expect people to go and fact check them. But yeah the servers are definitely still active for the game.

Doing God’s work 🙏

The only time late side of good is rewarded is when the pitcher has extremely low confidence

From playing all the events I forgot for a second that it wasn’t quick counts this time and was screaming at the screen when I got the guy to swing twice. Then I realized how miserable this was and how crappy the rewards were and went back to RS.

@L_N_7 said in Showdown:

I can't beat extreme showdown yet, but got 9th inning my first try. We are all different....

So weird... I beat "Extreme" on my 2nd try, and I've already failed the 9th inning one twice. I typically do well on the Showdowns, but this one is weird for me.

I can actually get on board for eliminating it this year and bringing it back next year if fixed. I've been bailed out as many times as I've been screwed but the inconsistency is ridiculous. I've seen swings where my bat is a good foot past the plate called a non swing and ones where the bat didn't even leave my shoulder called a swing. I just want some consistency.
