    Blue meter beside each Pitch Choice
  • ChArTeRBuS_PSNC ChArTeRBuS_PSN

    @spin_doctor01_psn said in Blue meter beside each Pitch Choice:

    @jacky-chan1_xbl said in Blue meter beside each Pitch Choice:

    Never throw the same pitch the same place consecutively.

    I'll throw something slow like a change up down and in, to the same spot in the zone if I'm trying to get a double play. I want the batter to hit it. It's basically like throwing out bait. You just have to be very aware of who you're pitching to.

    Saying things like “know who your pitching too” and “find out what a guy will chase” might sound slick, but in reality your just throwing against a AI that doesn’t remember your pitch sequence from last inning or the bait pitch you through 4 pitches ago.

    Confidence means almost everything when you pitch to someone with a functioning brain. They see your ABC fastball up and In, slider away, change up low sequence from a mile away.

    I wonder if the Brewers connect jersey program will be 8 moments on rookie, 3 exchanges, and 5 PXP missions again.

    #shoutoutothecopyandpastedepartment

    Maybe so, but if they changed it up then someone would also complain.

    "That city connect was so much harder than the other city connect programs. SDS hates the brewers."

    I really couldn’t care less what people complain about. I don’t enter every complaint thread defending SDS like I’m on salary. Move on bro live your life, go put up 37 runs on the Rockies again I’m sure that’s suuuuuuuper fun and exciting….but then again two games in over week kinda says otherwise.

  • Waste of money
  • ChArTeRBuS_PSNC ChArTeRBuS_PSN

    @easy_duhz_it__mlbts said in Waste of money:

    There is no "next gen". Its current gen and last gen. Maybe you should get a current gen console and then when you get wrecked on that, you can find some other excuse.

    The difference between PS4 and PS5 or the XBox versions is minimal. But some people need every excuse under the sun to justify their losses.

    The game was advertised and sold as 60hz not 120hz. Anyone on old gen has a legit complaint but if you really need to feel superior go right ahead. Simple math says it’s 2x better which isn’t minimal, it’s multiple.


  • Why is Trout so expensive?
  • ChArTeRBuS_PSNC ChArTeRBuS_PSN

    @the-harvest_xbl said in Why is Trout so expensive?:

    Sorry if this is obvious, but why is Trout so expensive. He’s not a top rated player and I only see him required for one set.

    Am I missing something?

    He WAS the highest rated card to start the year like every year so his price reflects that because he was the most rare even though he isn’t now...or could be only SDS knows.

    But on top of that the LS collection unlocks 3 99 overall cards months before other 99s come out so he is always priced up. Once you get him it’s usually pretty easy to finish but this year a lot of guys are quite close in value to him. As just a player he isn’t worth it, as the key to the 99s he is, but even that’s close.

    cant wait to grind that program! Gonna love an 85 Dan Pleasac that gets shelled in anywhere that isnt rookie vs the cpu.

    No worries, 85% of all required content is on rookie vs the CPU inside Dolenz safe space.

    I love making progress on multiple things just for it to crash my game to the Xbox home screen and not save any of my progress!!!! Nice work guys!!!!

    Next time buy a decent console. PS5 works fine.

    So the Xbox Series X runs everything perfectly but MLBTS conquest and showdown? You think that's a console problem? Sure buddy. Get back on Twitter and go to war for Sony some more.

    This issue is isolated to XBox.

    Look at you go brainiac

    He just aimlessly rambles all day I wouldn’t worry about him much. The problem is the Devs and the bad servers.


  • Hitting Methods… physical impairment
  • ChArTeRBuS_PSNC ChArTeRBuS_PSN

    If you continue to struggle and need to use directional I would aim for guys like Lofton and Boggs and others with really high contact and vision. You are somewhere accurate with the online play. It becomes much more based on real life and the attributes of the players. A slider away is really tough to hit in real life, so it translates to the game, but contact and vision will help with that.

    Also if you struggle online don’t worry, everyone does at first. I played on rookie with maxed sliders (steroids) for years, now I’m alright. But more importantly SDS gives a lot of ways to earn most things offline, so you can still enjoy the game even if you can’t enjoy being super competitive.

    You competed at the highest level known to man, you are excused if you lose in MLB the show online.

    There is also a final option and that would be an “online league” against others who may not be able to play at a high level like yourself but have fun playing amongst each other. It isn’t super popular but you only need a few guys to enjoy it.

    This game is atrocious. How in the world do you manage to have offline modes lag just as bad as online and the pitchers in moments will dot corners on rookie or flat out walk you. SDS should surrender the MLB license and do the right thing. They are not capable nor do they have the skills to make a good baseball game.

    Still better then EA

    is it though mate?

    you can download FIFA 2022 for free, play with your friends, $0 need to be spent to play all of the teams - several of the modes are solid

    look at SDS 2022 - the game is falling apart trying to appease all types of system users

    This may come off sounding condescending. I don't mean it to. I apologize if it does.

    It's soccer for an American audience. No thank you.

    They screwed up the first football game that resonated with fans and gamers. I'm both and loved the game from Madden 92 on my genesis until 19 or 20 when I was so fed up with pay to win I couldn't do it anymore. Add that to a customer service team that was known to call you a liar and hang up on you for not getting stuff you grinded or paid for.

    I have always been a football and baseball fan. I want to play the sports I love without the headaches from the company I loathe. From everything I've seen from 2K, EA, and SDS, I'll take SDS every time. I actually see the changes that people ask for in this forum. EA's answer is to have you tickle their sack while they do what they want, then be happy that you have to spend $300 a week to stay competitive. There are two types of EA players: Those that hate them and people that just started playing.

    If you love your sport, there's a good chance EA will change your opinion of it. I never missed a game during the NFL season. Sundays I'd wake up at 9 am for kickoff at 9:30. Watch three full games on Sunday and one on Monday. Even started watching on Thursday when that started. I can't even watch it anymore. I hear 2K is supposed to be coming out with an arcade style Football game. I'll get it. I hope it brings back my want of the game.

    This year, I got MLB.TV for the first time and I watched every game I could find last year. I haven't done that in a decade. The MLB is exciting again. SDS did that. I tried NBA 2K and basketball just isn't my sport. Basketball and Soccer, to me, is just running around for an hour. I was thinking about getting PES a few years ago, but thought better of it. Considering it's not around anymore, I made the right choice.

    Just out of curiosity, how far into FIFA season is it? Pure speculation is that it's almost over. Probably trying get some more victims before the new one comes out. It's marketing, so I don't begrudge them that.

    Looked it up. End of September. So a little later than I thought. Four months. If they are anything like Madden, it's only one month of real content. Then something similar to the 10th/11th inning program for the next two months.

    This is why I agree with the statement. "Still better than EA."

    Lol I know it sounds crazy, but believe it or not it’s changed a bit in the last 12 years. I’m sure on some other forum misinformed EA fans say “I played Diamond Dynasty on MLB 12 and it was all made up players” sounds kinda dumb.

    Curious on your response on this, because I don't necessarily disagree with the statement on people confusing a good game with liking baseball, because I'm sure that's true for some people.

    What is to stop that from being applied to FIFA or Madden? Why can't I just dismiss people liking those games and by extension thinking they are good by saying that?

    You’re kind of arguing my other comment but quoting this one but either way I’m simply talking about the “pay to win” stuff that gets thrown around a lot by people that haven’t played any of the EA games in a decade. I played Fifa 12 UT which was the second year existed. I’ve actually played every sports UT for over a decade.

    Back then, there were no rewards, no missions, no Ranked Season, No FUT champs, no Icon swaps, no squad battles, no anything. You got about 1,000 coins a game and that’s it. If you play UT now, you earn about 300,000 a week plus all the packs and free players it gives. They have insane packs you can earn that are not even available for purchase in the store just like MLB. It’s very different, the same way this is VERY different than Diamond Dynasties origin.

    But yeah I would argue both games are pretty bad gameplay wise. I like sports so I play them for fun, yet neither is very competitive, Fifa pros talk about how none of them “enjoy” the game. It doesn’t mean you need to spend $2,000 on Fifa points. My 99 Pele was free. Same with my Cruyff Maradona Maldini Vieira Gerrard Ronald the other Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe the list goes on and on. NickRunTheMarket has 200,000,000 coins because he trades. The coins/packs/players are there the UTs just work in different ways.

    Thank you for the detailed answer, as I have never actually played FIFA, and never played UT in Madden.

    No problem man, you’re constantly one of the more level headed people on so I appreciate you even asking. And I also think it’s worth mentioning what I said in another thread. Ea have there name on Formula 1, it’s developed by codemasters, but you still get the EA logo when it loads.

    The game has zero micro transactions apart from the “podium pass” which is just different outfits and car liveries. Nothing to help you win or go faster or turn better. EA does a lot of things, micro transactions are one of them, but they do still make some really good games that don’t have them.

    As a result EA have become so successful, they just told FIFA they had to move out and every major soccer league in the world chose EA over FIFA. A gaming company….over the international federation of football. As “bad” or “corrupt” as they seem, they are no where near Fifa who were paid off to host the World Cup in Qatar where thousands of people have died building the stadiums in putrid conditions.

    I actually think it’s pretty awesome they risked it all and came out on top. “Ea FC” coming soon.

    Anything back door, they react slow and back door pitches call for late swings. 2seamer low and away is like a automatic homerun for them against me. The spin rate is just another boost when going oppo. Sometimes I throw it for fun when I’m up big and just kinda chuckle when I can literally feed HRs.


  • 22 worse than 21?
  • ChArTeRBuS_PSNC ChArTeRBuS_PSN

    The problem is that it’s even a debate. We gave them covid, it’s okay that the game didn’t improve, and the menus looked awful, and content got repeated. That was a while ago now, it’s time to start moving forward not backwards.

    They need to learn from there mistakes and add all the content back. Team Affinity, Team Epics, the ticket counter, the XP path, the rookie to prime missions, the extreme program in the first month NOT the last month. Make the game fun again. Give people 95 overall cards to earn just put them behind TA, Then Team Epic, then a large grind with that player like Immortals. JUST DONT PUT IN SOUVENIRS.

    It’s so obvious how to make this game more enjoyable but they want everyone to wait a week for 8 more moments 4 times a month 12 times a year.


  • No motivation to play
  • ChArTeRBuS_PSNC ChArTeRBuS_PSN

    F1 is the most balanced and non pay to win game I’ve come across in recent years. There is literally nothing you can do to improve besides practice and the ability to keep gaining time on your own lap is nearly infinite.

    Offline has some of the best AI settings I’ve seen as well. The small tweaks you can make to make the game incredibly realistic or realistic to your own skill is great.

    If you don’t like F1 watch DTS on Netflix and see if you change your mind because man it’s very well done. The cameras the use alone make it worth watching.

    Online is fun but the races usually aren’t full, if it had a better league setting I think it would be all I played.


  • Regarding Future Stars......
  • ChArTeRBuS_PSNC ChArTeRBuS_PSN

    It’s more the fact since they started doing this about 6 people have enjoyed it and they still do it year after year when the game is still new and exciting.

    Then there is the argument that these cards should be nowhere near legendary seasons from legendary players but they are.

    Who’s Mike Schmidt? That guy will never be the third baseman every future star is apparently going to be, not even in his best season ever. You know MVP, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, +1.000 OPS….yeah step aside dude, Masyn Winn is here! Post season Halladay, HaAAAaaaa don’t make me laugh, that guy will never amount to Bobby Miller.

    These should be 84 golds that accompany the Face of the franchise cards we got at the start, not an excuse for them to take a month off of content two months into the game.

    Every complaint is justified. It’s boring content nobody cares about except the 6 guys that say everything SDS does is amazing. SDS can literally say they got rid of TA, put it in a program, make you pay for half of it and they still say it’s a great idea that SaVed ThE gaMe.

    Everyone playing wishes a certain legend was in it and there’s a “create a player” feature. Arod Bonds Jeter Fernandez all pretty easy to nearly duplicate. I usually make Bautista now that he’s gone, and used to make Mays before he was added.

    PS Beltran is basically still in the game, you just have to name him, then go find the right swing and stance, download him in the vault and copy the face and body over. Boom you just unlocked a hidden “just late be great” audio sound.

    The OP ones are annoying against a good player who is probably hitting 2-3 bombs but if you make a player you like it numbs the pain and makes you look less sweaty.
