If the ball is hit foul you always dive for it. No matter if it's a ground ball 1 foot from you or a fly ball 150 feet from you

I tell myself I do but then I'll play a few games of it and then want to slap someones grandma that's how frustrating it is. But then I don't play for a few hours and I get the itch again. Rinse and repeat.

What makes it lame is every game is the same. Who can keep their opponent from hitting the fewest homeruns. Because there is no other way people score besides HRs. LITERALLY. No other way. 90% of the games I play are like 1-0, 2-1, 2-0... The default sliders for the game are bad so you see a lot of things like outfielders being able to run from a mile away to get under a ball and catch it. Line drives off the bat arent realistic at all. It looks like when you hit a golf ball with a 9 iron.

But yeah my biggest gripe is the lack of diversity when it comes to plays on offense. All you see is. Strikeout. HR. Slowest hit ball ever for infield single. Pop-out to catcher that only went 7 feet in the air. Or line drive directly at an OF.

Share your drugs.

I cant tell you how many games I have been up 1 or 2 and have out hit my opponent by 3+ hits all to surrender a late inning 450+ bomb via contact swing. My dogs just stare at me across the room like I'm the animal.... I probably am.

I pitch to contact every game. I throw my waste pitches when I need to. I am well above average at pitching but once they start the contact swing it changes your entire approach to pitching. You have to tip toe around the edges. Man it's the worst feeling lol.... even more annoying with the little zit i am playing immediately messages me "scoreboard"

And before anyone says "hOw Do YoU kNoW tHeY aRe UsInG cOnTaCt SwInG?" bro just look at the pitch feedback.... the PCI isnt 3x the size just because they have 105 contact lick my sack.

Alright rant over time to go give up a contact swing homerun in the top of the 8th to Simon Birch.

@derpmets5_psn said in Just not very good:

Its impossible to hit a fastball. Yes i use strike zone and PCI. They did a bad job once again.

Not being mean man but it sounds like you're just bad... Right now at least. I really get annoyed with people playing any sports game and always blaming the game. Show some accountability... The game doesn't make you have bad timing and no patience or an eye for what pitch is coming when batting.

Go into practice mode. Choose a good pitcher and have them throw only 4 seamers. Get your timing down. You have to really let the ball get up into you before swinging. It will probably look or feel late to you.

Here's how you need to view it.. You're the catcher. Like literally you physically outside the TV playing. If you view it like that then you'll know when to swing. Try it out. Be patient. There's a reason baseball is one of the hardest sports to play in real life.

What was the point of making this post? Did you really think people wouldn't call you a cheater after you're trying to flex over finishing 3rd inning in 27 minutes? So this entire thread is just you trying to make a case for yourself....

very weird...

Curious how much these dudes have spent. Must be a decent amount right?

They're virgins so they lose anyway.

@raesone_psn said in Why is my RTTS player is the wrong position & 65 overall in DD:

There's this thing called YouTube and it's amazing. Try it.

Yeah and sit through a 16 minute video to get the answer to a simple question. A simple question that only took a few minutes to get an answer to.

You realize what message boards are for right? Literally exactly what I did here.... YouTube is for videos. Again, since you're insanely slow, I am not sitting through a 16 minute video of some reject saying pointless & irrelevant things just to hit his length of video quota to get more ad money.

I dont know if the cards for these monthly reward events have their attributes based solely on the month but if it doesnt then Buxton is a joke. Dude is a career scrub. A career .240 hitter but in this game people mash everything with him. I am talking about ranked seasons only. I dont know how he performs in other modes. But no matter what I throw or where I throw it, this dude gets on base lol. A single is basically a triple. Then once he is on third, every pimple faced loser lays down a bunt. Even If i have him nailed at home, we get into a run down and i throw it to 3rd and my player is frozen in place all of a sudden. I can throw it but I cant move. This has happened like 5x to me now. Not just vs Buxton but other plays as well.

Who tf cares??? Why is everyone so concerned about everyone else.... Insecure much?

@donttuchmethaar_xbl said in IS THERE ANYWAY TO MASS CANCEL OPEN ORDERS?:

Don't place them?

imagine taking the time to write something dumb as hell like this

I have a bunch of sell orders that I want to cancel because I know I wont get what I submitted. I want to cancel them and resubmit new sell orders. But I am literally clicking cancel, ok. cancel, ok. cancel, ok. cancel, ok. You get the point. I'll be here all day....soo is there away??

You must be a teeny bopper who doesn't understand basic market trends. Flash sales are good for us... not bad....

Seriously, the negative cult following of people on this forum (and reddit, operation sports) is pathetic. You don't like the game... fine. Dont play it then. No one will care. Instead you people come in here and cry about how much you hate it and how it's the worst game ever. The parrot talking "tHiS cOmPaNy Is TrYiNg To ScAm Us BoYcOtT uNtIl ThEy GiVe Us A gOoD gAmE" is so cringey it makes me gag. Yeah... a multi-million dollar company has meetings with high level executives scheming on how to scam $47 from Timmy on a basic pack of cards. All companies do things that people dont like.... the video game communities (the show, nba2k, COD etc) all have these young idiot consumers who immediately want class action lawsuits because something in the game makes them angry. Guess what? There are a lot of more important things in life that you aren't going to like. Stop crying about trivial [censored] or just stop playing.

Lmao dude what you say is irrelevant. Doesn't take a genius to see what type of dude you are. And I'm pretty sure you're still a bit upset bc I flamed you about your name lol. Save it

Doesnt take a genius to tell what type of dude you are. A soft whiny little [censored] who cries about trivial [censored]. If you aren't a teenager then I feel even worse for you and people who have to be around you. Imagine being in your 20s and getting made over a flash sale.....that helps you....

ANDDDDD The fact that you think I even saw that you "flamed me" for my username is pretty humorous. You're sitting there puffin your bird chest about saying something about my username lolololololololol. What's wrong with my username? King.... lololololol

What a squid boy.

I can almost guarantee wireless doesnt cause freeze offs. Disconnects from time to time yeah. Maybe you will get lucky and he loses connection on your freeze off.

I understand that. But EVERY single freeze off that I've experienced this year has been when my opponent is the Home the and they confirm that theyre on WiFi.

That's because most people use wifi. That's just how most people's set ups are. Way easier. The majority isn't on monitors at a desk with everything hardwired like me and some others.

I know zero people who play console games or PC that use wifi. Literally zero.

Many people do. Don't be silly.

Ok... so you know everyone that I know? No. You dont. I KNOW 0 PEOPLE who use wi-fi to game online. It's not hard to setup a hardwire. Install ethernet outlets or if you cant do that just get a powerline adapter.

My wifi is fine and I don’t get in to freeze offs.

I can also D/L things in the background without experiencing lag or freeze offs in The Show or other games.

LOL....I DO NOT want to match up with you. You the problem

If you don't have the bandwidth to play online gaming and download something in the background then YOU are the problem. 10-15 mbps is all you need to play online game. So if you have 100mbps internet plan then simple math tells you that you have the bandwidth to support both.... and in the end the actual connection/routing/infrastructure of your internet is much more important than the D/U speeds. So many ISPs have highly congested networks that cause sluggish gameplay. Xfinity for example has way too many people on the string of IPs available. eg. 192.168.1.1 domain and then the IPs it can hand out 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 etc etc.

But yeah..... its 2021. Almost every ISP basic starter internet plan has enough bandwidth to support online gaming and downloads via another device.

I am confused on the "attack" phase. Lets say I have 10 and attack a 4. What does it mean when the numbers start changing until 1 team is at 0?

Also, does the CPU win EVERY TIME when their turn gets simulated? Seems like it.

I know what CFD Drain does but wasn't sure if it was a thing in DD. For my RTTS player or regular players. I am in a ranked seasons game right now with my RTTS player and it's the 7th inning i have given up 2 hits and 1 run back in the 2nd inning. The confidence bar around my fastball (A button) is like 25% full only.... I am pretty sure that is the pitch I gave up the HR on but still that was a long time ago and I have given up 1 hit since. I even have the bigger yellow bar on the pitcher meter.

Sooo any idea why my fastball confidence is low and how do I improve it because apparently pitching well doesnt work lol.
