When will MLB the Show fix the official scoring? I am tired of playing these challenges that I need a XBH and I get to second on a stand up double and I get scored a single.

Also, before you Statisticians jump all over me. I am aware of the scoring rules and the scenarios that if I hit a bloop shot barely into the outfield and the fielder throws home allowing me to get to second because of the throw isn't scored a double. It's not those cases that I am talking about. Thanks.

is there a runner on base? I don't think the issue is the official scoring in the game.

I know of one instance with Meneses when I ran to second and somehow the CPU defense threw the ball away, me thinking I had the double but wanted to insure that I got credit for an extra base hit ran to third and then proceeded to go home before getting thrown out at the plate... the official ruling was a single.

In another instance with a man on second, again with Meneses, I hit a ball in the gap and made my way around the bases and was rounding second when the runner got thrown out at home, officiail ruling was a single.

I imagine in the first case they ruled single and advancement on throwing error and second case I imagine they ruled single because of the throw home but I was already rounding the base which had me feeling a certain type of way but I lived with it and retried the Moment until I eventually got two no questions asked doubles.

Yeah, it's the scenarios that are like you mentioned that I am half way to second before the ball is being thrown into the infield. In the cases I am speaking of, that if the ball was fielded by the outfielder and thrown to second to try to get me out, I don't think that he would get me out. I just know in 95% of these scenarios on the game, if it was a real MLB game, they are scoring a double. It's like you said a minor thing and frustrating for a minute and then you go and get no doubt doubles. Just a nitpick at a great game is all. Appreciate your response.

Since the new season has anyone else had real struggles on being able to throw pitches in the strike zone even if you release perfect?

Is there a single person out there that plays with any Live Series cards? I mean people that actually play the game. I honestly don't ever see one. They make these other cards so good that you never even think bout using live Series. Wished that would change a bit? Thoughts?

Here's a tip... Walk Arenado on the Lester missions. He's hit 5 home runs on me to ruin my mission. (Yes it took me that long to learn) No other player has a hit.

I personally dont care what name is attached to the card, I just want good cards and lots of variety. I get why people dont like them but to me, it really doesnt matter if they never did it or not to earn those stats. I actually enjoyed the time when they were all fantasy players and you got to use them and make them what you wanted.

I'm glad you like it. Its good to know at least some people do like that. However, I think most people that buy the game are huge fans of baseball. Its probably a 90/10 % ratio.

@halfbutt said in Realistic side SDS should handle:

Don’t worry. The community is hitting.280 on All Star so the game is realistic.

Lol, I think you missed the point, bud. But appreciate your input.

@satch450 said in Realistic side SDS should handle:

Ur completely right on this, but I just wanna say that that Miguel Cabrera card is not the 2012 Triple Crown winner, it's the 2013 All Star card. They're gonna release the Triple Crown card sometime in the future I'm assuming.

Ah! You're right. My fault. I forgot about that. Thanks bud.

I'm just not a fan of the "Jo Adell" and company being the BEST cards in the game. They are basically "Fantasy" cards right now due to no (Not A ball) MLB realism to them. Miguel Cabrera won the MVP, and won the Triple Crown in a card thats 94 overall. How the heck is a AA player rated better?

We are just getting more and more away from realistic side of things. I understand wanting to promote up and coming players, but do it more realistically. Please.

Sincerely,
From an actual baseball and MLB the Show fan

How many 5 to 10 run innings have you given up?

I feel like I've given up more than a few on times where even I don't understand. Lol. Yes I know about confidence, yes I know some people are good, yes I understand every logistic of the game and how it processes, but somehow odds define me to madness. Lol.

Just want to know there are people out there like me somewhat and I'm not 100% physcho! Lol

I've played this game for a couple years now and never really understood the Ranked Seasons ratings. I've heard multiple things like it is off how good your opponent is and where you are on the ratings before the game then determines the rating of the end game depending on how the game goes.

However,

Just played a game with me at 649 and opponent at 730. He quit in the Top of the 5th due to me winning 6-0. He had 1 hit and I had 7. I only got +36 and he got -36. Shouldnt that be higher????

@ayman718 said in Online gaming HAS to get better.:

You left him in for all that? His confidence must have been 0, once confidence dips below 50% it's time to go

Well, it was 2 outs and 1 on. He got a 1 run and then somehow the game made me miss strikezone and walked 2, to give up grandslam.

Rollie has been a god for me. Not sure how he could be that bad for you. I’m 2-0 with 19 saves an a 0.35 ERA. He hasn’t walked one batter and struck out like 70.

I think you missed The point

Lol. He did in fact. Before this game, Rollie was a God for me as well. Kinda points back to my point. Thank you sir. Haha

Well nowhere did you say how good he was before this game so how would I know?? I guess I’m just shocked that anyone would light him up so bad.

Lol, well you did that for me. I figured everyone assumed he was good, just like you did.

I'm usually around a Division Series guy. Think I do okay. Not great. However, when you are leading 9-4 in the Bottom 8th and you put in the 99 Rollie Fingers in and get 2 outs, then give up 5 runs with 2 outs. To tie the game.. then you score another run on him, then you aren't able to hit the strike zone with your pitches even when you put it down the middle and have a perfect release, just to walk 3 in a row and give up a game winning double. It's just not gaming. Its stealing from everyone that pays and plays all day to get good. Its not video games if you aren't able to control how you do. This is the same as electronic gambling. You have odds, it has nothing to do with how good you are and the time you spend. Unbelievable, this game is so good. Why in the heck do we have to ruin it with this? It's so frustrating. Thank you for tuning in.

Start using button accuracy, problem solved.

Yes sir. Thats what I use already.

Were both releases in the green? The only yellow releases I've seen to pull the player off the bag was the ss jump throw from deep in the hole. Even then it was almost green.

to not pull*

Who knows bout the 2nd throw cause it never gets there but the first throw, yes.

No idea then. That's messed up.

Yeah, pretty frustrating. I get scared when I get a ground ball, where I used to be excited cause of a double play.

Has anyone else had the issue with good defensive infielders not being able to turn the double play? They instead throw it off the bag or in the outfield? Just kills the game for me. Defeats what I was pitching for and the purpose of baseball. Thanks for the feedback.
