@thongypu_psn said in This game is SO bad online:

I know people try and dismiss demise, but since I live pretty close to Boston I have decent games a lot. However, I've noticed people who are across the country it is usually bad. I can't imagine across the ocean.

I literally sit with my pci on the inside part of the zone in same handed matchups and can't hit the sinker unless I swing as he releases. The game has to be perfectly lag free (rare).

Yeah, I believe Demise though. Just a little bit of lag is brutal for a game like this where reaction time/input is so crucial.

Edit: I know there will always be some lag. But give us a ping indicator then I’ll decide which game I’ll play.

3 catchers I wanna see soon.. Javy Lopez, Thurman Munson, and Mauer.

Holy hell i hope not.

@jwkeep__psn said in What does superfractor give you aside from +5?:

Not that it means much but they should give you a banner that you were first on a player

That’d be kinda cool. Or like how it says who discovered a certain card.

Baseball is life man! Playing head to head against someone is a blast

Wow your game is definitely broken.

I don’t know what’s more pathetic. Dashboarders or you drafting 50 times just to use Mays

You do you though. That’s dedication lol

What’s pathetic about it? It’s literally the only way to use him right now.

Thanks for the insight though.

It’s not pathetic. People wanna use new cards and parallel them. I watched Chev do the same thing for Lou.

No I'm not quick pitching. People be pressing this [censored] button alllll game. I can understand the first time I bring out a pitcher you wanna check the pitches etc. After that? It's purposeful exploit.

You do realize it shows the location of all of the pitches you've thrown in that at-bat, right? It's not just about checking the pitch repertoire. It can be used to help see patterns in what you are throwing.

Do some people abuse it to slow down the game to a crawl even if you aren't quick pitching? Absolutely. However, R2 serves a purpose and it won't be going away any time soon.

How does holding it the second and third pitch show my tendencies fam? Ive thrown one pitch.

People tend to revisit locations. Sometimes I use R2 to check the exact spot and line up my PCI. It's led to more than a few perfect perfect homeruns.

Doesn't take r2 Every Pitch to figure that out. It takes one time.

It doesn’t take every pitch but it takes more than one time.. for me at least. It’s there, so I use it and it shows you alot. It shows you: pitchers energy, pitchers confidence overall, pitchers repertoire, the last AB/pitches of current AB (which lets you see patterns or even tunneling), what pitches are most to least used in the repertoire (not a big deal but still nice SDS does it), it shows the speed per pitch, and also the confidence per pitch. Might’ve missed something but that’s what it shows. Video game or not, it’s an edge and I’m using it.

Don’t overthink it. This is a bad game. The servers are complete trash. You can make all the changes you want on your end, it isn’t gonna matter. With the exception of a few maybe on the coasts.

Servers/connections in this game are really bad and have been for some time. I have wired fiber. I rarely disconnect but I can play a 5 hour session and have an hour's worth of wtf moments. I think I am the king of weak hits against me and non-pci hr's. I think it was Friday night I had 4 non-pci hr's against me in 2 games. Warping pitch speeds are more prevalent now too.

In my experience it gets worse. A lot of the people that deal with this stuff move on to Madden which means the majority of the people left are the ones that don't see this stuff very much. That means more issues for the players that are already seeing them.

Ball has been hand to glove instantly for me on HOF. Yet, certain people can turn on 102 legend like it is slow pitch softball. The advantage certain people have is ridiculous and won't be fixed without server/match making adjustments.

Not gonna lie but I’d take less content and legends for some dedicated servers. Or if they don’t do that, atleast bring back the ping indicator they used to have years ago.. I had crappy internet then but games played more consistently I thought. I’d just back out of the pregame lobby if someone had a red ping. That would help some

@schnauzerface said in Anyone else sick of early timed swings hrs?:

Early on the inside corner….

…

…

What’s a pull hitter?

You don’t remember him getting traded?

In the minors this year, he has a 2.93 ERA in 61 innings with 92 punch outs. Marlins have a lot to like with their young arms.

Throw nothing in the zone. Ever

So about 1 in 3 future star cards pan out or exceed expectations.

Thats actually not that bad in reality

Ok. So if that's where we are at, why not have insanely juiced HOF cards too? Instead of some unrealistic projection of what a player that never played in the majors could be in three years, let's have a "what if Babe Ruth had 96 speed" card. What if Keith Hernandez never did cocaine card. Orlando Hernandez throwing from 15 different arm slots, but now he throws screwballs that break like a slider.

Let's just max out every single card so people never have to worry about DiVeRsItY ever again. Trevor Hoffman throwing 102 mph sinkers, Ted Williams as a switch hitter. Topps Now and Future Stars arent too far from that ridiculousness. I guess we should embrace it, max out every single card, and now everyone can have whatever lineup they want with no limitations.

I mean this is all fantasy

Lets not pretend that Babe Ruth would be able to hit Jacob Degrome or Verlander.

There is this idea that a legend of the past can hang with today's stars it's not happening so FS just adds in to what is just on big What If mode

You can’t be serious. If you drop Babe in right now? No probably not, but let’s say Baby Ruth popped out around the time Trouty was born then yeah he would be right there if not better. It’s hard to compare that era to now, but the training regime is night and day difference. Babes regime was cigars, milkshakes, and hotdogs. But you are right in a way.. it is all fantasy, but at least Babe or any legend has numbers to back it up.

So your argument to counter act my claim about this all being fantasy is to consider a fantasy where Babe Ruth was born in today's Era how he would preform?

Isnt that what this game is doing by creating these fantasy match up?

Thanks for supporting my point

First off, we were talking about them in real life. You act like legends wouldn’t be able to hang with today’s stars.. Give them everything this generation of players has and I think they’re just as good.Your acting like Babe Ruth of the past wouldn’t be Babe Ruth of now. Do you think Degrom or Verlander would throw as hard or have the spin rate they do now, IF they were playing back then? No.

Second off, I like players and legends that have cards based off of something. Are they perfect? No. Could some have better or worse stats? Yes. But they have stats to build from. I don’t like cards of players who haven’t proved a thing and are all based on a projection. When they come up with a card for a legend or flashback of a current player that’s in the league, at least its based off of something they’ve done at the highest level. I really don’t care what someone has done unless it’s on the big stage. Gonna be honest though, I’ve eased up a little on how I feel. I’m alright with a few lower diamond guys. But having Spencer be up there with other end game cards? That’s whack to me, just like having a cap in Diamond Dynasty. When it comes to a baseball video game, I’m just someone who likes more realism and less of a fairytale. Certain cards are special and mean something. Why is a future stars card as good or better than a Sig card or an award card? Doesn’t make sense. Babe, Verlander, Feller, Trout, are they from different eras? Yes without a doubt, but you can tell me what they’ve done in their MLB career. It’s fine if you like where they’re going with cards, I’m just voicing my opinion and saying I don’t. Maybe too you were pumped about a 17 or 19 year old getting a card, but I’m not.

I just want solid consistent servers.

How do you know they’re looking at your pen?

Atta boy Q, atta boy!

Buzz’s girlfriend wolf! Bro you have 5 Thome cards not a Thome card to parallel 5. Also showdowns and moments don’t count toward parallels

Try rebooting your modem and router, if you haven’t yet. Other wise, might just be the shows servers.

Who the F is Bobby Bradley? Lol

A man with big pop! But he won’t hit for a high average.. the Jake Bauer’s experiment should’ve ended a long long time ago.
