From watching twitch to playing my fair share of games, it seems like predetermined outcomes are real. I've especially noticed that when a fluky hit happens, the odds a home run happens thereafter increases dramatically. Can someone convince me otherwise?

IMO, MLB 22 is currently the worst major sports video game on the market.
I'd put both NBA 2k22 and Madden 23 above it. The basic gameplay in both is much cleaner.
When I first started playing MLBTS around 10 years ago, it was hands down my favorite video game. The decline of this franchise over the last few years has really hurt my soul. Fingers-crossed next year gets better...

@dodgerslakers1 said in Does this game have a comeback feature?:
It’s rigged you can tell every game plays different
I agree with this.
There are too many inconsistencies with regard to outcomes. A perfect/perfect pitch could end up a foot away from the possible location outcome. A perfect/perfect hit could be a groundout while a very early swing on a ball on the inside corner could be a home run. RNG will always be a part of the game, but I feel year by year the importance of skill becomes less relevant.
I get they want to make the game competitive, but they should do more than pitch speed differential to separate skill levels. I feel like they should make a game mode where RNG has very little influence over outcomes. I understand that some might think that would make the game more monotonous, but to me, it would be more fair and consistent.
I also wish SDS could explain the hitting and pitching engine a bit better. I believe that would add a lot of clarity for the community.

All of us deserve better gameplay than what we've gotten over the past few years. I don't know what else would motivate them to do an overhaul...

I've had it go both ways, games where I've won by 7-8 runs and didn't play well and others where I've gone 1 for 5 on perfect perfects and lost to someone 150 points lower than me. We need to go back to the 2013 days when user input was king. At least make another game mode where RNG is marginal

the I'm playing vs my opponent and game feeling is more apparent than ever this year
nothing is more frustrating that putting the pci on the ball while getting good exit velos and losing to someone that consistently has lower pci ratings and exit velos
-
In my last game, I hit 17 balls over 100 miles per hour versus my opponent who hit 5 and still lost by multiple runs. I realize RNG is part of the game, but can SDS tighten the screws a bit?
-
And RNG is still at its finest. 32-4 in non-world series-clinching games, and 0-2 on the latter losing both in the 9tth. You can't tell me its bad luck...
-
Has anyone had any issues with a perfect pitch severely missing location?
I lost a game in the bottom of the 9th via a bases-loaded walk.
I located a fastball well inside the strike zone on the outside corner, my feedback was perfect. The end result was the ball finished several inches below the zone and the winning run was walked in.
Still wondering how this happened...

@RayLewisSB47_PSN Is that new this year? I thought it took the lower player rating for the difficulty.
-
@SDS_Jax_PSN ya'll gotta patch this... I've seen this multiple times in threads
-
At times it almost feels like outcomes are predictable. Has there been any explanation of how it works?

Thanks a ton, everyone! Can confirm the PowerA has been a game-changer.

Hoping this works. Never sent a link through the forums but if it does work, check it out regarding the state of the game
This is amazing, thanks for sharing...

@theBlindRhino said in SDS - Nothing like proving your own incompetence:
He could have come back and won if the game hadn't frozen though. How long are you going to wait it out?
Lol, are you the person I'm currently playing???
-
I've lost three out of four games due to disconnects. I'm wired in and everything else in my home stays connected to the network. Does anyone else have these issues?
-
Can SDS define random?
I've played enough games to see that outcome aint random like flipping a coin or rolling dice, so can SDS please explain the RNG engine?
Bloop and a blast
I never thought I'd say this...
Does this game have a comeback feature?
I really wish SDS had some competition
Still too much RNG
gameplay logic is crazy
Is skill becoming less relevant?
Just started again from 20
Pinpoint pitching
Difficulty Bug
Chopper to second freeze off
Can SDS explain the RNG engine?
Xbox series x plays choppy
This is hilarious. You boys should watch it

Lost Connection With Opponent
Where's the "Random" in RNG?
