Fun? No. Necessity yes. I like seeing the previous pitch/AB overlay

Pointless thread

I want to know how many people are dissatisfied with the state of online connectivity in this game, and whether or not the folks who are dissatisfied will preorder the game next year. If you’re not interested in participating then move along.

@d_e_m_i_s_e_psn said in Your team overall exceeds event restrictions.:

Surely SDS has looked into this but a way to save event lineups would be a great QOL addition.

It used to exist back in 17, but something about players getting upgraded so they were still in the lineup even if they didn't qualify, which would seem easy enough to fix but I guess not

@chickun_legs_psn said in 0-6 on Good Contact, 0-1 on Perfect:

I did actually intend to play the event in order to warm up and maybe get an edge in Battle Royale since it's on lower difficulty. Three games later and I'm on the whinging boards. Guess it really is a me problem.

I'm not a great hitter so I never expect great results when I play online, but I did a little event run yesterday/today. I went 4-2. In the two losses, I was no-hit. In two of my 4 wins, I no-hit my opponent. In one of my two losses, I was also no-hitting my opponent until they homered on their 9th batter. So, there wasn't a lot of offense on either side in any of those six match-ups.

Pronounced perfectly you have to get that nasal r sound and master the breath pronunciation of the "chet". It's closest english equivalent would be Crow - shae.

I think they have timing windows for inside, middle, and outside because in the swing feedback the green zone is forward, middle, back I'm pretty sure. If it's possible to perfect/perfect a ball out of the zone (not sure if you can get the PCI that far in or out) then I could see how it would be possible to hit a P/P foul ball. The counterpoint is if it's P/P then it shouldn't be foul because you hit it perfect and foul isn't perfect. Not sure exactly how it all shakes out, but I don't think P/P foul balls occur with enough frequency to make that much difference. Like I said I had one the other day and that's the only one I've had all year. Just say "that kinda sucks" and move on.

I’ve found that games vs Xbox users are noticeably less smooth.

@chickun_legs_psn said in Ranked Seasons freeze offs?:

Thanks for your opinions. What are your thoughts about the possibility of ranked seasons freeze offs in MLB The Show 22?

Probably 99% it's been happening for as long as I can remember and I've played the show for a good 6-7years now

I’ve played since the ps3, usually most of the freeze offs occur during the first couple of weeks after the game launches. We’re in the third month of this game and freeze offs are still abundant. I guess all we can do is keep QA this game so next year’s will be better hopefully.

@chickun_legs_psn said in Competitive players fouling off pitches in the dirt:

Thank you SDS for changing the competitive scene so that good players like myself can foul off pitches in the dirt over and over again. This is the most fun I’ve ever had playing vs online opponents.

People that enjoy the foul tips in this game also like to bowl with bumpers in the gutters.

Holds the pitcher from pitching.

@lewisnadasurf1_psn said in Thanks for fixing contact swings ❤:

Just had a game where I knew straight away he was contact swinging from the off.

Balls in dirt fly balling to the outfield for outs. Perfects more often than not. Massive PCI. Hard to strike out and oh. Played at Shippet.

It makes me annoyed tbh. Please SDS nerf it.

Every one of these guys plays at Shippet. These are the same guys that would bunt for a hit every at bat back in 2015 or whatever year that the infielders were barely capable of fielding a bunt and didn’t have the proper animations to throw a bunter out at 1B.

Oh...you expected SDS to actually know something about baseball?

Yeah, I can't play online -- it's just a HR fest and I don't have the time to invest to "git good" with the sticks. I find hitting too hard and unrewarding.

Plus the quick pitching/R2 thing is real, and sucks.

Having said that, I've spent no $ and am only Cole and Trout away from completing the live collection. I like collecting the cards for the hell of it. Reminds me of the Topps Sticker Books in the 80's. Wish they had more creative UI's for the collections, though, maybe mimicking those sticker books.

Surely next year we will enjoy a seamless release?

Not a chance. AAA games all seem to have a shitty launch. Don’t know what it is. Like Tony Stark ran simulations for time travel. Y’all run simulations right??

So if tony stark dies we get a good mlb release next year and a fake captain America? I’ll take it

Yes that sounds right. There might be a midget Hulk to but I’m willing to take that chance
