Input from one game seems to not work input another game. I can consistently hit balls perfect but get outs and my opponent can hit balls out the strike zone for bloopers and doubles in gaps or home rubs. The worse is trying to stay inside inside pitches just for you to line up to everyone on that side but ur opponent knocks over walls

Do y’all feel sometimes the input output seems just be ridiculous. Some games my just earliest are bombs and others when they all go foul.

Too many times I hit fast balls with good timing and I don’t expect home runs but can I hit base hits jeez

I hate it I mean every game I feel like I’m playing a 98 or above pitcher. I wish this game stops letting u get free good pitchers. Like idk. I guess cuz I started late n haven’t gone they do rewards fast like others I’m complaining but so many guys buy these teams with stubs and then get free good pitchers. I just wanna stop facing Kluber and other free SP becuz it makes the game boring. I rather have a whole bunch of pitchers people choosing from then every team have same 99 or 98 pitchers u face everyday

My solution would be not to give people 99 and 98 overall pitchers for free and cap it at 95 or sumn. Basically all u have to do is grind to silver 1 and you get two 99/98 overall pitchers when they don’t even have any of them n the market. Plus at this point in the game everyone is now sending SP to the bullpen which is the most annoying and [censored] I ever seen. If we didn’t have all these free high diamonds then every game we wouldn’t have to face a kluber or Hal in bullpens. I say give one out at the beginning and that’s it. I rather people grind good pitchers thru affinity or sumn than give out elites that people manipulate and pretty much once everyone gets to Gold ur gonna b facing 99 pitchers every game and in bullpen.

I’m upset about someone bringing in all these SP pitches as relievers becuz of the lack of bullpen arms out there.

This makes no sense. Play enough and then you'll be able to get your own high pitcher for free and it'll be an even match. Take them away, and only people that buy Stubs will benefit, and that would enrage all of the no money spent guys. And besides, do you really think people that buy their teams won't also buy their starters? This is the most illogical, ignorant post I've seen in quite some time. Stop whining and put the time in to get the cards you want for free. Yeesh, we are seriously at the point where we complain about getting top tier cards for free rather than buying them? I've officially seen it all.

And your solution to this problem is to stop giving people good cards for free, and to give them to people who want to pay for them? Do you not see a problem with your logic here? That isn't fixing the problem, it's exacerbating it.

I don’t understand how they don’t even have a diamond RP and all the diamond CPs are gained thru BR or RS except 1. I rather them give out free good bullpen arms than to make a game where they give u chances to earn all these unbelievable hitters thru grinding affinity but u can get any good pitchers unless u play the game a lot. I literally faced three guys in a row with kluber then they all bring in some HIGH diamond starter and rotate them every 2 innings

They don’t have enough non-grindable hitters for them to have all these high level pitchers without counters. But what they need to do is remove the glitch to call SP out the bullpen

I agree, being able to use SP as relievers is lame

I’m absolutely raking with FRANCISCO LINDOR. lead off hitter batting 426 1.1 OPS. Absolutely mashes fastballs and sliders

I can afford to blow stubs because I can just buy more but I just feel for kids that grind & grind only to have that happen to them. It’s not something they should have to deal with yet. The world will have its way with them soon enough.

I literally blew that 70k after selling my ellsbury and LS Chapman. Once I saw the possible 170k on return I was like hell I need more stubs and I don’t just go out and buy them. My whole team literally is a bunch of NO sell grinders. I hate all the good cards always require extreme grinding or boat load of stubs. I can’t even afford to buy all the LS and I’ve pretty much have high diamonds left. At this point In game I play division and championship and WS plays and without great cards I just can’t get over that hump. I’m competitive but the edges come out over 9 innings with the poor SP Pool and also The SP as RP bull. Literally played a guy WS smoked his SP , he bought in two 97+ SPs right after. I couldn’t keep him from scoring with current roster of low 90s upper 80s pitchers.

When I’m i. A slump definitely taking a break works. Also make sure to work the counts and try to get the pitches u like. Every time I take a break I come
Bak with a decent win streak

I have frank thomas and I was going to grind the babe Ruth to sell him but ima Yuge white Sox fan and frank is hitting .400 for me. Also bout to grind for that ty Cobb. Really looking for a good 3B or 2B any suggestions. Also are we going to get Bert blyven the SP. last year he was my favorite any thoughts on that. Thanks

Currently lineup is

C Cap
1b Frank Thomas
2B Brian Roberts
3B ryne sand berg
SS jimmy rollins
LF Lou Brock
Cf can’t think of name but twins 99 CF legend
Rf larry walker

Yeah I mean I just want consistency. A lot of times I’m getting ball on bat in good locations and it seems I’m not being rewarded. My biggest beef is inside pitches. I feel I hit a lot of inside pitches that never hit any gaps

I’m all with the different hitting types and I have been playing with PCI for last couple years but sometimes I got to wonder why doesn’t a p/p or g/g always result in a hit. Every game I ever played was based on timing and if u perfected timing u was pretty [censored] good at the game . IE nba2k. What I’m saying is random outcomes are great but when my pitcher pitches a good input I should get the location I wanted. If I square up a ball I should at least get a hit. I would even take about if the positional player made a great play and he has good rating. Long story short I think the Show is a great franchise but they need to open the game up to being more input related that random outputs. Consistent contact with hitters should break thru whatever pitcher on the mound and that’s how it usually works.

Maybe you should practice reading and hitting the sinker. The outcome will come out better for you.

I recognize that the pitch is hittable if you sit on it, but don't you think it sucks that you have to concentrate everything to be able to hit a pitch that is unrealistic to have so much break high in the strike zone?

It’s a video game and every video game has its “glitch” yet the high sinker and inside high fastball are hard to to hit but hittable. The key to hitting the sinker and the inside fastball is keeping the PCI INSIDE the ball and guess it. Do you realize baseball players work counts to read pitches. Eventually if you read them right you can jolt that walk off salami which I have the greatest joy experiencing. By the 7-9 inning your should a good read on that pitch if u worked the counts.
With all the being said it’s a SOB but ain’t like u can’t throw it as well. And once you get 2-3 good hits they will stop throwing to that location. But I’m general high inside fastball shouldn’t be swung at in leveraged counts. BOL tho

Everytime a new inning comes out I have to retrain all my hitting mechanics because what works online doesn’t work when ur playing computer on rookie or pro. I hate after I get in a groove online in AS or better I gotta go do moments where my timing is all screwed. Can we just get a consensus pitching input and just make the computer outcomes on different levels better. IE all generally same pitch speed but maybe not as much of a mix , more balls and wild pitches,

Input from one game seems to not work input another game. I can consistently hit balls perfect but get outs and my opponent can hit balls out the strike zone for bloopers and doubles in gaps or home rubs. The worse is trying to stay inside inside pitches just for you to line up to everyone on that side but ur opponent knocks over walls

Even if I wanted to buy more packs. It doesn’t matter at this point I can keep grinding for months to complete LS collection or I can just buy the stubs on discount. I shouldn’t have to wait till near end game for great cards I can get for value prices
