Shouldn't have put "quit whining" as an option because that's what all the cool kids will pick. Should have just been "I'm indifferent".
So you think any of the people that picked quit whining would pick I hate SD? I think the results would be very similar. The point was all these new topics daily that say "Everyone Hates SD" "We all want SD removed" etc. when it is not the case. It is the same handful of people trying to get attention because it isn't as easy as they think it should be.
What everyone doesn't realize is you are playing 12/15/20/25 consecutive outs upwards of 30-40 possible batters at the plate and you are comparing it to a normal game where you see 3 outs and maybe 5-6 batters at the plate. Of course you are going to see plays that seem sketch, that seem compounded by that fact that you are seeing all these plays in one stretch of hitting. It happens... Slow down, pause the game after 3-4 consecutive outs, walk around, shake out your hands, clear your head. It can be beat by average (which I consider myself) or even below average players.
A lot of people run in thinking because it is on Rookie/Veteran I can swing at everything and I should get hits. As we all have seen in online games, conquest games, etc. a great PCI and timing doesn't always result in a hit. I'll get off my soapbox but I really think people are getting in their own head and making these SDs tougher than they are.
Edit: I will add that I do think that changes can be made to better the mode but I don't think getting rid of it all together is the answer.
