If SDS is banning folks because of their lack of market security that's the bow on top of this great gift of a game. I can hear the Benny Hill music playing in the background now.
I tried sending you a message about how bad I felt about my win but you block messages, so I decided to pen an open letter....
It's not your fault that you ran over 1st base with your first baseman and it didn't register and it allowed me a hit. And then the next batter goes yard....
It's not your fault that with 2 outs and the game 3-2 your gold shield Peralta camped under a fly ball only to let it drop and trap it. I then put 4 runs up....
This is my virtual hug. You were never going to win that game. Ever. The programming said so. The sad part is lots of folks around here enjoy this poker machine of a game. The deck is stacked sometimes for no reason.
I just wish that Hall of Famers were usable. Instead they make fake cards into studs.
For some reason my outfielders won't break this rule.
What was the point of the beta, all the data and all our feedback if you were just going to change the game on us anyway?
I have 2 days 4hrs and 42minutes played on my profile. Every. Single. Game. Online. To say I had a feel for hitting would be an understatement. I gave Chief TKO is first loss and he's only lost 8 more. Point is I know what I'm talking about....
The timing window is completely screwed up and the outcomes are as random as ever and that's saying something after last year.
Changing the hitting engine 2 days after release is absurd. Maybe everybody was hitting wlll because most likely the people who pre-ordered we're good at the game to begin with. I've never preordered something I wasn't familiar with. Have you?
It's going to be called "Slide steps, pitch outs and pick offs: The life of a CPU pitcher when a man with 60 speed is on 1st"
Hey, SDS....ever heard of pace of play?
Way too many people are setting their date and time so you can't see the ball for 2 innings. Y'all know who you are.
@KCMahomies said in Did SDS do a major overall on game mechanics?:
Why isn't Mike Trout putting his glove up for a pop fly? Why is Shane Victorino not putting his glove DOWN for balls rolling right to him. Why do my swim moves on slides no longer swim how they used to? Why do they always just go feet or head first, without going left/right of the bag? Why am I an 1100 player in each of the last 3 years, but can't break 800 now? Why have I supported this game for 15 years only for this year to be the trashiest it's been since I can remember? What incentive do I have to continue to support this game? It's unplayable in DD right now, and if I wanted a franchise sim there's plenty of cheaper options.

I've said it about a hundred times around here, but if you go watch the pre release dev tourney or ANY streams from week 1 early release you'll see that we're not playing the same game. The hit varieties during pre release we're great compared to what you see now.
My question is why change everything just 2 days after national release? Was that the plan the whole time. Have great reviews from pre release then pull the rug out from under everybody. Hitting had never been greater.
I would hate to create something over 8 or 9 months like these devs did at release and then change it all just like that.
Like WTF. Let me bang my head against the wall until the game decides when I finish.
There is a specific reason you can't see feedback in Moments and that's because what you do doesn't matter. CPU defenders making no look catches with their back turned to the infield and robbing homeruns with ease.
It's NBA Jams with a baseball. Boom-Shaka-Laka.
It's not you. I just can't see the ball. You're not good.
Take 2 strikes every batter

Sure it is. You're clearly so much smarter than the rest of us.
LOL... it's called common sense
I'm sorry do we know each other? You're making a lot of assumptions.
LOL...over ya head
You're a [censored]
You want private businesses to make their own decisions but blame the leaders of a country when those businesses make those decisions.
Not blaming Mexicans. Blaming incompetent leaders. You're so mean.
You're even dumber thinking the President of the United States has control over baby formula
There's plenty of baby formula at the southern border. It's not for law abiding legal citizens who pay taxes though. Maybe you're being matched with players that are the parents of the babies getting that formula. I wouldn't be surprised if the federal government shipped some consoles down there in exchange for votes.
LOL....another red hat. The internet has fried the fragile white mind. Passive aggressive, fat bodied, little [censored] white guys are destroying this country.
3 companies own the majority of baby formula in this country and this guy goes straight to blaming Mexicans
Just missed my second diving catch of the year. Makes me 98/100

Inside/outside/up/down depending on push/pull/etc. Timing is simply pressing the button at the right time. I used directional before moving to zone and have used zone for years, but I too have tried the new timing option online and I hit everything hard and couldn't strike out. It's definitely here as a crutch for the new player base just like all the foul balls. You're wrong. When they added directional 2 or 3 years ago it replaced timing even for offline play and they said it's the exact same thing as timing if you don't aim. You never had to aim with directional and you can even turn the arrows and camera shift off completely. And there have been tons of people playing like that online. You were supposed to aim with the sticks. It's what the whole moving camera inside and outside was for. It's irrelevant what you were "supposed" to do. The point is, timing only, which was directional without using a direction, has been in online play for years.

LOL...just because you guys were using it to center swing doesn't mean that's how it was originally designed. Just quit
This game has become a circus bro. Way too many things to do all in the name of keeping you playing and coming back.
Back in 2016/2017 I could jump on and play 5 straight RS games. Today I can't even stomach RS and I might only play 2-3 event games before getting fed up.
