@theronjvr said in The Real Reason Why This Game is Broken:
You say it like it's a bad thing that a company would like to keep casual players engaged and wanting to keep playing. Matchmaking the more experienced players together and the less experienced players (the "bad" ones) is how most online games work and there's nothing wrong with that.
It’s a bad thing when the game purposely screws you over to favor your opponent in an attempt to keep them “engaged”.
Pitching: Pitches go wherever the game decides.
Hitting: Like throwing dice at the Casino.
Fielding: Errors, not at my fault either.
Base running: My guys make the stupidest decisions. Any way to control them better?
The whole simulation thing is too much and shouldn’t be this much of a factor when playing a video game. I bought this game to have fun win or lose and honestly I watch real baseball on TV when I want to see real baseball. When I play a video game I want to be in control, not sit there and watch it try to simulate everything for me.
I’m willing to bet the BS will be at an all time high next year when they go multi platform and will try to get all the brand new players hooked on the game.
@InTh3iLLCity41 said in Are 2k devs working for SDS during Corona Crisis?:
If 2k was running this, perfect perfect would be 100% a hit. Just like a green release in 2k is splash every time.
A game that rewards user input on a regular basis instead of trying to simulate everything? That sounds like a game I would drop this one for.
It’s fine. Pitchers don’t always hit their spots in real baseball either. Just slightly adjust fielding and the game is better than ever imo.

Nobody would’ve grinded TA’s in the first month for gold cards.
I would have. I’ll grind right now for them too.
Aaaand to the block list you go.
You block people who don’t feel the same way as you?
@czyzdustries said in 2kbaseball?:
Why don’t you play RBI then if this one is so bad...
He said he wanted 2K to make one so he could try it.

Eh, not really. Way too many grounders on high pitches. SDS STILL can't program sinkers correctly and way too many okay contacts on good timed/center-ish PCI swings. Not saying every one should be hits/HRs but seems to be a terrible balance. Sometimes contact results are just non-sense. Balls that should be driven into the ground turn into HRs. Hangers up in the zone should be at least line drives are routine DP balls...just all over the place.
Also pitchers do not hit spots all the time, but they also don't grove pitches every other AB either. Everytime I miss it seems like that low pitch comes up, that high pitch comes down, etc. Don't think I've missed lower than low or higher than high more than a couple times since launch.
Playing on directional I have noticed quite a few pitches going over the middle.
Uncharted 4 is free on the store. Sometimes it’s best to clear your mind and try something new. Who knows, you might find something you’ll play for the next 4 years instead of this game.
Think about this for a second.
The consensus is that most of the “scripted” feeling of gameplay happens at All-Star or below.
Now ask yourself this question: Where do the majority of players play?
I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that where the majority of players play, the most BS happens.
It’s also not a coincidence that they drastically changed this game on general release day. They’ve yet to explain their reasoning for doing so.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare has been fun for me
Is that the newest one out? I was thinking about trying it out.
Yes, IMO it’s more fun, more of a skill gap (even with the dreadful campers) and they have been listening to their community and updating their fans more frequently than SDS.
Cool, I’ll probably pick it up then.
I’d try a “money grab” game if the gameplay was awesome and it made me want to keep playing.
@bonion said in Showdown BS:
The mode is not out to get you. You are not being targeted. The “fairness” is equal across all players. It is quite simple if your a patient hitter and wait for your pitch. Line outs happen. Hendricks shut me down once without a run scored. But showdown is the most productive offline mode for my time. (XP, stub profit, TA players) it’s all fair man I hope stage 2 is much harder
Wait for your pitch huh? That’s cool until a good-ok or perfect-perfect line out multiple times. Waiting for your pitch doesn’t apply in a game controlled by rng. It’s throwing dice and hoping for the best.
@bjannan said in Stop making us pay stubs to play showdown:
Sounds like you didn’t position properly for the catch.
cause there’s no evidence of any problems with fielding in this game.
Until you fix this game. Just lost a showdown moment because my 2nd basemen couldn’t catch a routine pop up.
Why should I have to pay stubs when your game is incredibly broken or it’s intended to be this way to force players to lose?
I regret buying this game. I hate how I don’t feel in control of anything during the game.
How bad this game would be, worse than it is now, if everyone acted like the players who stick up for it. There would be no reason for them to make it better if we were all in denial and acted like there was nothing wrong.
Hopefully they fix this game and then those players can thank us for showing them what’s wrong. They sure ain’t doing anything themselves to make it better.
@aaronjw76 said in Madden is better:
Heavy madden player here which includes a typical 16-18 wins in WL. Madden is NOT better.
Leave now with that garbage.
He can speak his opinion, just like you do. This community has no respect for each other.

Is anyone still playing this?, I want to get some RS games in but refuse to play '20 in its current state.
Wasn’t too long ago you were defending this game. Why the sudden change of heart?
