Ive had craig biggio in my line up for 50 ranked Abs now and he is hitting .423 with 1 homer that was so clutch it wasnt even funny i was down two all game to a guy loaded the bases and biggio came up the pitcher thinking hes not a power guy popped one down middle and the rest was history lmao but ive never been succesful eith contact guys until this year so id say theres atleast 25% more singles and doubles to be had

I thought so at first after my first two ranked games but after I started getting better opponents the scores have gotten lower I even threw a shutout today

@spin_doctor01_psn said in Has The Sinker Completely Ruined This Game For Anyone Else?:

Literally seconds ago, while watching a White Sox game from last week, the announcer goes "Strike three called! He stuck the sinker in the top inside corner!"

Obviously it must have been a lie because that never happens in real life... At least as far as some people are concerned.

You can throw a fastball up in the zone that comes back into the zone but it still doesn't come out of the hand like an offspeed pitch.

@misfits_138_1_psn said in Only Way To Score:

That's because every, I mean EVERY outfielder in the game is a combination of Gary Maddox, Aaron Rowand, Vlad the Impaler, and Ichiro.
And every middle infielder can track the ball into the parking lot.
Hard to hit singles when every team has superhuman defense.

Yeah, that’s definitely a huge problem. Every outfield with half decent fielding gets the perfect jump and route every time. Every year SDS say they improve it and it’s always the same lol

Because you are probably correct.

I do love the in depth patch notes on it though.

As my college coach told me….see ball hit ball. Keep it simple stupid.

Not so easy to do against sinkers in this videogame…

This OP is like totally not parradox-cam.

Idk man, paradox wouldn't have let your comment fly without:

"Are you going to add anything meaningful to the discussion?"

@vipersneak_psn said in RNG Has Made Online Untouchable:

This game is excellent. Just stop playing online.

If I try to play RTTS it’s extremely boring because I like to play realistically and I play on legend and only strike out once every 50 at bats. And god this game is no where near excellent

I would like to showcase 75% of whats wrong with online in 30 seconds.

This is far from the most extreme example, but I think it does a good job of showing what happens constantly throughout every game. 2 very early fouls on low pitches (Like I said there's wayyyy worse examples than this) then a late single up the middle. I genuinely feel like I have little control over what happens in the game and my PCI makes little difference in results. That and Comeback coding just make this yet another online failure from SDS. I get excited if I go down 2 or 3 runs because all of the sudden hitting and pitching miraculously become 5x times easier. All hail RNG The Show 22!

This is arguably the worst example I have seen yet. Stop being dramatic.

Oh yeah, its almost like I pointed that out twice that its not the best example. hurrr durrr

Confessions of a terrible player:

"Yeah, trust me...I'm a terrible player and this game doesn't help me win." He said after giving up yet another home run.

In reality, I am not arguing against the concept of some RNG or retention style tactics at play here, it's a video game. I certainly wish they'd help me win every once in a while though. My RS record stands at 8- 42 lifetime. All 8 were early quits either due to a lucky run on my part or they just quit out prior to the game starting. I have never won a 9 inning game online.

If you are the superior player, (which I'm not sure how you can know that unless you're matched against someone like me) you will win 9 out of 10 times.

Public service announcement: Please remember that while you all boast about what a wrecking crew you are at this game and how you should win every time due to superior abilities and that SDS has robbed you of perfection and glory, try to think of the underdog who is just trying to get a hit amd scratch a win so he doesn't throw his controller through the screen. It's gonna be OK. You're still gonna win a lot if you're good.

well said, I'm 17-1 rn, had a perfect game through 7 1/3 on hof last night, had a lot of line outs/good swings but couldnt help but feel for my opponent, k'd 14 times, not a lot of great swings, usually the better player wins, anytime i feel i'm out gunned i usually am the loser.

Just played someone who picked laughing park mountain so every single pitch was in a snow covered tree. Could only score 1 until it got dark enough in the 7th. Then he threw a first pitch inside fastball every batter, had my pci already set up and kept lining out, then lost on a few late and early singles after he finally stopped swinging at curves in the dirt. R2ed all game too. Well done SDS, online is as fun as ever! Great job as always.

Doesn’t SDS know there shouldn’t be snow caps in June & August?

Tell me about it!
