Yeah they haven't said a word. Like they are tryin to hide that the game broke

Or maybe it's like it's 4am on on the west cost and they're not actively working on the problem because they're sleeping. I get server issues are frustrating, especially 2 months into the game cycle at this point, but maybe you can all chill for a bit.

Or maybe it’s like 4 am on the west coast and they’re not actively working the problem because they’ve been sleeping since the game came out. You should check if they are hiring cause with that mindset you would fit right in.

SDS in way over their head. Then again why not release the game for PC as well. Why not maximize profits even more? Especially when the trade off would probably only require adding another hour onto the daily maintenance. No but really though cool how you can use the term maintenance as an excuse to continue to put in work in which you obviously should have been doing pre release.

It could not be anymore obvious just how bad you fools screwed it up and all it took you guys was one patch to do so fix the [censored] timing window for this joke you call batting.

It’s a complete joke! Timing window is so far off that I am officially f@&king done with this [censored].

This 40 wins garbage in ranked season. Have absolutely ruined the amount of value which should be rewarded to those who actually earn it and most importantly of all making it so much less appealing to even try to get to World Series rank.

Of course it is nothing new though when it comes to most any of these gaming companies and from a business aspect I understand it. Find a way to appease the majority over the minority and the customer base should maintain a higher percentage in the long run.
Even if it comes at the cost of competition and the will win.

You’re kidding me right???? You do realize that if you get to 40 wins in ranked seasons that you’re more than likely already to WS without the hand out. There are a very select few people who actually benefit from the 40 win thing. The whole 40 win goal is there to make it feel achievable. When in reality the 99 percent who actually win 40 games in a RS are the guys that are regularly in the top 50. If you expand that win total through a full year playing cycle and only play to win 40 games that’s 480 wins. The only people that get to that win total are the streaming elite with the exception of a select very few who are not good at the game but live in moms basement and don’t contribute to society. Just think about that way.

Yeah it must be me that is kidding you and not you kidding yourself. The fact that you even look at it from that standpoint rather than actually looking at it from the rightful standpoint speaks for itself. That being said you are that much more out of your mind to be saying some stupid [censored] such as “ When in reality the 99 percent who actually win 40 games in a RS are the guys that are regularly in the top 50”. I can assure you that you aren’t even possibly “99 percent” incorrect about that but are absolutely 100 PERCENT incorrect about that. The 40 wins aren’t there to make it “feel achievable” they are there because it makes it achievable for any player at all as long as they put the time in.

Once again though regardless of how clearly incorrect your assumptions and comparisons are you obviously miss the entire meaning of the post. This is a matter no different than any other situation and being people should not be rewarded the same for achieving less. Just because someone puts in the same or for that matter even more time than someone else does not mean they should be compensated the same as even someone who may put in even ten times less amount time. Not when that person who put in ten times less amount of time achieved more in ten mins than the other person could achieve with infinite time.

no but really just wanted to make my first post that finally doesn’t get removed and me banned.

Going on five hours straight when the servers aren’t “technically” down and I am still unable to get into DD a single time?

When this never ending, never progressing, 24/7 broken ga.. umm I mean maintenance keeps going round the clock how about you just start announcing the very limited couple hours in which it actually isn’t completely screwing us from actually being able to log on. Then at least we will all know those few hours each day in which we could actually do something aside from reading every network issue and error known to man.

@ryan_goble22 said in Fix it already!:

Might as well delete it, I did. 8 out 10 squared up pitches will be line outs against pitchers with high H/9 ratings. Idk why they have made pitching so dominant and over powering. The game isn’t even fun if you can’t hit.

Omg and of course I didn’t even mention the glitch as well. Just a few innings earlier in the 7th I had just tied it 4-4 and still had runners on the corners and one out. I get Juan Pierre up AB and with the speed I had on base as well I knew the best chance of ensuring to take the lead would be a drag bunt. First pitch and I do just that and the runners are advancing and also looking like he won’t even get the out at first as long as the ball stays fair. It ends out foul just as my runner from third is about to cross the plate and as they announce foul ball he crosses home and Pierre already gets to first. The scoreboard changes 5-4 yet clearly means nothing to me as I obviously expect my runners back at the corners with an 0-1 count and that scoreboard to be brought back to 4-4 once the frame refreshed.
Frame refreshes and wow great job they did correctly remove my one run scored changing the scoreboard back to 4-4. Yet in the process of fixing that instead of sending my runners back to corners and Pierre back to the plate with an 0-1 count they decided to randomly give me two outs and runners on first and second leaving Pierre on first and the next batter up.

As far as what to expect its truly never ending when it comes to this game.

Batting .447 with him in 189 ABs. 14 doubles 3 triples 0 HRs 14 RBIs (lead off batter) 34 SBs caught stealing 6 times only have 3 walks with him though but also only 4 strikeouts.

Yeah this is offline

Yeah because I would give the guy offline stats genius... if I could post the pic I would buy more than happy to send it your way just to show you that your assumption is exactly that.

Oh and of course what a beautiful thing that they finally at least did something right by not including sorry [censored] conquest stats onto players cards.

@TheHungryHole said in Player review on jaun pierre:

Juan was horrible for me in online events - his arm is a joke as well why bother for that amount of stubs

Well that is why putting him in left field is the best move and a very small price to pay in what comes in return on the offensive side of the ball. At this point of the game I would not take another player over him as he has already singlehandedly been responsible for winning me a number of games already in such a short time.

Getting a hit at just 44 percent of time as a leadoff hitter just about always assures me him crossing home plate with his ability of being able to steal second and even third with relative ease most every time. Hard to imagine anyone more valuable than him at this point.

However of course with that being said just as in life we all thrive with what works for best for ourselves. No different in this game when it comes to players who work best for ourselves and vice versa. We all do amazingly better than most others with certain players while also do amazingly worse than most others with certain players.

This 40 wins garbage in ranked season. Have absolutely ruined the amount of value which should be rewarded to those who actually earn it and most importantly of all making it so much less appealing to even try to get to World Series rank.

Of course it is nothing new though when it comes to most any of these gaming companies and from a business aspect I understand it. Find a way to appease the majority over the minority and the customer base should maintain a higher percentage in the long run.
Even if it comes at the cost of competition and the will win.

See you’re getting it! All jokes aside, yes! I agree. There needs to be exclusivity to some of these rewards.

Bro I have always got it. Regardless of the fact that this has now been going on for so long now it does not make me any less sick when I see it. Just a reflection of what the real world has become and it’s a JOKE! The moment I had been told they were now giving trophies to all children regardless of what place they finished that was the beginning of the end. Do they think they are actually helping children by doing dumb [censored] like that. When the team in last place is getting the same trophy as the team in first place then why even begin to start finding the will to get better and the will to win? I mean after all when you are rewarded the exact same prize why even put the effort to get better.

How I put an end to all these never ending tutorials? Even after going to the gameplay settings and turning off the tutorials in there they still keep popping up non stop.

I know the format for this year is obviously different and I am just the one completely missing what is probably right in front but when I look up my opponent prior to the game I am not able anywhere in which I can view his ranked seasons rating. If anyone would please take a moment to let me know what I am missing here I would truly appreciate you

Directional (?))
Ya mean, what I refer to as -
" toddler TEE Ball " !

It's a skilless joke and is the epitome of what ruins this game for grown folks, those who actually played ball and/or the true fans.

There needs to be isolation toggles just like there are for "guess pitch", difficulty and the other choices prior to an online game search.
{I've said this for years and years now btw}

I play authentic ball as in a chess match, but get matched up with a puppy who plays Chinese checkers and even has extra marbles !!
2 different games and has no business at the same table ( on the same screen ) together.
They have no foul [censored] and practically no base runners even....just skilless and ridiculous square button mashing home run derby's.

The " fools gold " of it all is they claim to be good, sit in the leaderboards, and some how THINK they are actually playing the game.
Not hardly.
Starting an approximate timing window and
then letting attributes and algorithms do all the work....
That's not " playing " by definition of the word in the slightest.
It's nothing more than
" Watching "
(and some hoping)

Playing a large number of those top leaderboard puppies that are there year after year is mostly laughable.
It's skilless manipulation based on attributes and algorithms not player skill in the slightest.

The mixing of the
" authentic players " with the toddler Tee ball boys in online play IS this games biggest short coming and farce.

bruh the top players use zone, no one at top of the leaderboards is rocking directional.

Incorrect !!!
And
100% incorrect.

Keep telling yourself that lmao. Not a single top 200 player is using directional. There might be 3 total players a year that make World Series with directional. And that is being generous

Son, you are very wrong
Very wrong
In online rated I can name numerous toddler tee ball skilless puppies.
I've played them for years and years.

Yeah bro that has to be wrong. When I started playing DD just two years ago I had used directional nearly the entire year starting out and I made World Series each month. If I was making World Series there is no way only a select few were lol. With that being said I believe the people who complain about it as if it is cheating are clearly incorrect. The top players in this game use zone for a reason and that starts with the fact that it is clearly a huge advantage in comparison to anything else and I really shouldn’t need to explain why the obviously is.

It ended the moment they put this last patch in.

News flash... the entire game is broken!
