Is it just me or does the new layout of the menus seem clunky and confusing? Last year was so much easier to find stuff!

@blitzburgh618_mlbts said in Hitting patch?:

Do not touch hitting

Exactly. Hitting feels great! Don’t do us like last year when you patched hitting the first week when it seemed good and then became exponentially more difficult!

I wondered why I got three packs!?!?

@king-cals_xbl said in Hitting patch?:

Hitting is way too easy online even on higher difficulty. Can’t wait for them to patch so the best of the best can make World Series and not everybody and their mothers

Yeah cause the best of the best paid more for their games than us average Joe’s right!!?? Elitist much!

@warpedzilla_psn said in Post-game rewards:

There must be an issue with all the new features added to post game. Otherwise why have the screen that the % of better rewards changes as you increase difficulty?

That is interesting. It could be an oversight. Either rewards are still intended or they just forgot to remove the odds cause, no more rewards!

@msacks11_psn said in Parallel System:

I am in love with this parallel system. It’s definitely my favorite addition to the game from recent memory. It prolongs the life of some cards deeper into the year and being a baseball card fan in real life it adds another level of accomplishment when you get a low number. But before I get toxic again about server issues or something stupid I just wanted to give SDS an atta boy this really is a great game so far.

What is the best way in your opinion to progress the Parallels? I have yet to play with my squad so just looking for a friendly tip

Just play em and do well! The better you do the more exp gained. Also get exp for plate appearances

@hoboadam_psn said in Here's what's happening with the servers.:

I've taken quite a few tries at explaining the issue in various threads, so I'm going to make one myself, and offer to SDS to help. They have my contact information.

Stress balancing is broken on the server node for the menu interfacing.

There's send and receive functions embedded everywhere in every menu that sends data after a function is performed, IE, conquest victory, moment completions etc. When you complete the task, data is sent from your console to a server and logged. For a user to see it at a splash screen post event, a call script reaches out to the data repository and shows your progress.

Whenever you are getting the unhandled server exception, it's like timing out on a ping. The game will then attempt a refresh, thus your little button icon in the bottom right of your screen.

Sometimes you get partial and get bounced back to the main screen of the menu you are in, and sometimes booted completely out to the main game menus.

Whenever you try to log back in to where you were, you are inadvertently creating additional traffic because the data from your console hasn't been reconciled with the data server. This reconciliation actually has happened, which is why you aren't losing progress 95% of the time.

Take these errors and multiply them by the number of users on at any given time, the people banging buttons trying to get back in, and data cached with nowhere to display it because you're already out of that menu. SDS dumps the returned data when you are logged back in and at another menu, but it has to record the failed attempts.

It's an exponential function problem that needs to be debugged because the call time of the functions can't possibly get returns why? Because Xbox game pass created too many users and user requests throughout the game.

Solutions?

1- Change some of the menus. Require us to only go to one spot to get anywhere. Right now for example, I can enter moments from inning programs and moment menus. How do I know this is an issue? When you access a moment from the Inning screen, you get taken all the way out afterwards. If you were in the moments menu, you get taken back out to the moment menu. It's all in the coding.

2. Dedicate more nodes, bandwidth for menu navigation calls. The game plays awesome. Whenever you're actually doing anything, it's smooth as silk. All the troubles are menus. XP, parallels, etc. Data is routing, being stored and ultimately being credited properly.

3- Turn off the web site marketplace untill you eliminate the console errors. It will hurt and stink, but you need a cleaner production environment to test your fixes.

Ultimately, SDS is going to have to reboot servers everyday because these issues must be fixed in a production environment. They need to trim down the production environment in order to resolve though.

Gotta walk before you can run.

I'd bet a good bottle of 1986 Chateau Rothschild that I'm on point with my diagnosis and potential fixes. I've fixed this type of code before for Morgan Stanley and know what I'm talking about.

Thank you for your time.

Exactly what a self aware AI would want us to believe before it launches the nukes! Fear the singularity! :P. For real though you sound like a pretty knowledgeable programmer! Maybe they’ll listen but I’d imagine if they have good programmers there they know this but maybe not!?

@random_schmuck_psn said in Conquest on Steroids:

I really like that conquest is using pitcher roulette for the cpu this year. In years past you always faced the staff ace when taking a stronghold.

I don’t think it’s roulette?. I think it’s based on your pitchers skill. You pick your ace so do they. You pick your lowest they pick theirs. Lots of time it’s a common or bronze. I always pick my lowest for that reason.

Of course it is I just won an online game that won’t count!!

@abbyspapa_psn said in R2 when batting abusers:

I have a tendency to quick pitch, so I understand people using r2 to get me to slow down sometimes and it usually works.

It's the guys who hold it for ages trying to disrupt your windup that annoy me.

Yeah. It doesn’t typically throw me off. I understand though. I just wanna look at pitch speeds and repertoire often sometimes especially if someone has me guessing!

@elboracho247_psn said in SDS: Can we retire the Roberto Alomar card please?:

Stop with the cancel culture BS, He hasn’t been found guilty in a court of law so just relax already. It’s just a card in a game If you’re that concerned don’t use the card.

I loathe cancel culture. I mean some of it yeah it’s justified but most of it is so stupid.

Awesome news...Word on the street is the Birds are messing with the coding really bad and someone wanted to add butterflies hence all the new issues

Please, please, please let them add butterflies.

Oh and midges as well!

Oh and locusts, don’t forget locusts!!

Running fine on my series x

I ate a doughnut!

@ivanpcfx_psn said in Server error after a quit of the other player in Ranked Seasons.:

I was winning a ranked season game and the other player closed the app, after that appeared the "Network Error An unhandled server exception ocurred" and my win didnt counted.

This happend to me in two consecutive games.

how can I Solve it?

Thank you.

Before each game make a sacrifice and say a prayer to Joe Boo!

Nice try ramone!

This thread makes me think of Adam Sandler saying tappa tappa tappa

Yeah I like to grind but sometimes the grind is long and those rewards kept you playing on hopes of getting a lucky reward!

Only those with good plate discipline and good pitching I reckon.

Think I got to 130k. Did t think I played all that much either. I did complete a lot of conquest and moments.
