1. Facing 99 Kluber every [censored] game.
2. Skill Generally is Not Rewarded
3. Fly balls bouncing off our defenders’ heads.
4. The game is not allowing us locate pitches & Our pitchers throwing meatballs right down the middle for homeruns regardless of pitcher control stats.
5. It’s either Homerun, double play, or bust.
6. Perfect/Perfect feedback is an out. But Good/Okay Contact is blasted into the stands for bombs.
7. High Sinkers and High Velocity dominate this game.
8. When you start smacking around Little Billy, the game’s RNG & scripted gameplay starts to impact your win/loss w/ errors and other bs.
9. Constantly being unfairly matched up with Godly squads.
10. Most importantly, Why even “practice” when it doesn’t make perfect in this game?

Unless anyone can convince me, I’m taking a break from this game until they patch it. Call of duty has been fun.

The game is broken due to one underlying reason many of us fail to open our eyes and see.........

$$$ Player Retention Churn $$$

I might get banned for this but you should all google and research how game developers are using this stat to calculate how much money they are losing when many players leave their game to play something else.

Everyone is competing for our play time on their game. Ask why?

SDS openly admitted in one of their prior Twitch streams that a majority of their player base is not really good at this game compared to what they thought, so they had to “adjust” the game. This was based on their stats and research team.

SDS understands that most of their customers are not very good at this game. Therefore, they don’t want the better players consistently beating up on the majority of bad players causing them to leave the game and play something else. Why do you think Modern Warfare has Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM)? Therefore they have to give the bad players a chance to “compete.”

So they add the randomness (RNG), random pitching accuracy, defensive errors, and inconsistent hitting feedback to help reduce the skill gap. Then they say “baseball is random” to justify their cash cow methods and many of us buy into it year after year.

The reality is that this allows the bad players who are not good in this game to still “compete” and be happy and buy stubs. It also helps these players think that all they need to do is “buy a new card” to be better at the game.

If the players stay, SDS makes $$$ through stubs.

Sorry if this is long but I tried my best to summarize it. It’s All about the Benjamins Baby

As I mentioned before, they are not getting a penny until they fix this game.

See guys?, the ones complaining and making silly posts about fielding will never get fixed?.....use this post to apologize

Please ban this hot pocket eating, offline playing wannabe troll.

How is this trolling?, the majority of you guys complained constantly that the game is garbage and made multiple threads screaming from the hilltops wanting refunds and saying SDS is slacking off and don't care bla bla bla. Now what are you gonna complain about now? go head, make something up. Why don't you man up and use this post to apologize for all the doubts and accusations you guys made.

Are you serious? They released a patch last time saying it would fix fielding and they didn’t.

You say what else is there to complain about?

1. Inconsistent hitting feedback
2. Pitching accuracy issues - serving up meatball homeruns on good input
3. High sinkers
4. Facing 99 Kluber every friggin game!
5. Homerun or Bust feeling
6. Perfect/Perfect is a double play/warning track shot but a Good/Okay is a homerun blast into the upper deck
7. Base-runners running like they’re on ice
8. Changing hitting when it was near perfect in beta / 1st week.
9. Lying to us that skill will matter more than ever this year.

There’s more to complain about but I’m tired of it at this point.

By doing ONE simple thing:

1. Stop playing the game

OR

2. Stop buying stubs $$$$$$

Ball is in your court fellow gamers.

My previous post was removed by mods because they don’t want us to see the truth. I am saving backlogs of it in case and posting to other outlets if it gets removed again as proof.

That’s all we ask SDS.

Skill should be rewarded. That’s what you promised us so that we would buy this game again.

Bring back hitting to how it was at launch. Fix hanging meatballs from perfect/perfect pitching. Fix the god forsaken defensive bugs.

Enough already with rewarding bad players so that you get your stub $$$$ money from the majority (lower skilled players).

You may continue to fool many players with your little Twitch streams, showing us “new cards,” and twitch drops but remember.... many of us that keep complaining will eventually move onto other games that are currently listening to their community if nothing gets fixed.

@Kid_Cutr said in New WS rewards.:

Do we know who is getting added as WS rewards today? Not like I’ll get there but just curious lol.

At this point, they could add Jesus Christ Overall 99.

I don’t care about content until they fix the gameplay.

Sensitive much. How was I disrespectful?

It’s a good rule of thumb for life.

Regardless of how we feel, most players will just accept anything SDS does and defend it. They don’t know any better and SDS will take advantage of it for $$$$.

@allmustfall16 said in Anyone else having a hard time hitting?:

Never had a worse stretch than right now. Hitting is difficult. In 700 and above and even in all star. You’ll still have fluky games where your team goes off. But for the most part, hitting feels terrible. And the games where I’m having good input, seem like the ball goes right to someone or I don’t get rewarded for it.

I hate to be that guy, but it does almost seem like you’re playing against a predetermined outcome.

This. Hitting is not as fun as when it first came out. My solid hits are not being rewarded but my opponents weak contacts are spraying for hits. I’m always facing 99 Kluber high sinkers against my Oswalt. Then my pitcher with solid command and perfect/perfect input is constantly hanging up meatballs for bombs.

It’s just not fun anymore so I’ve been taking my quarantine time over to COD Warzone until they fix it.

@tfrog76 said in This forum is so toxic:

Propose any idea here, even if it is a good one, and all you get are personal attacks.

Then people wonder why some of us choose to avoid online play. It's that childish, immature toxicity that makes me avoid playing head to head games.

That same toxicity is literally costing you potential customers playing more online, SDS. I really wish you would crack down on the behavior on this site. Have fun arguing everyone. I am off to have a life away from this silliness.

If you can’t handle the fire. Stay out of the kitchen.

This forum is tired of being lied to and deceived with the same ol SDS dance year after year.

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.

Hey SDS, give us a game that’s not broken.

You should of purposely aimed for a Very Early/OK Contact. It would have been in the upper deck.

This game is absolute trash! Stop playing it to lower your stress.

@bhall09 said in What a missed opportunity:

I've often thought about this MLB Players league. That's a ton of free advertising for them. And then to see the players complain about issues is quite a sight.

Yea it seems like the really just missed a shot by putting out a game that wasn’t ready.

The game hasn’t been ready in years. Just the same song and dance year after year.

It’s pathetic but I feel like an abused wife.

This is finally the year were I decide I’ve had enough. I’m tired of being deceived and lied to year after year. Skill will never mean anything significant in this game.

It hurts but it’s time to actually move on from the game I used to love and not buy this game anymore.

Can’t stop watching these types of videos from the tourney and laugh. If anyone has any better ones please post for our viewing pleasure.

Edit: Thank you to LankyRyan for first sending me a link to these types of videos.

good thing the cards are free

That’s right. Nobody ever spends any money on stubs right? Of course not. They should remove the option to buy stubs since nobody uses it... right

Open your eyes kid!

@Rambo_11k said in I'm quitting after 10+ years:

SDS knows exactly what they’ve done, every year they tune the gameplay to help players win, if they win...they keep playing. Errors, game hanging pitches, game nerfing hits...it’s all by design to retain players. These fanboys know it’s true that’s why they don’t have anything worthwhile to say to dispute it other than weak insults. SDS is catering to the “I’m going to quit playing if it’s too hard” players.

Directional hitters are also cancer to this game, they’re only chance is if the game serves them pitches to hit....hence why we have this garbage pitching this year.

Bingo!

NO. Is there a “Hell No” option?
