I was about to come and do a thread on something similar , so I reached 900 for the first time this season which got me into diamond l grouping , I DID NOT KNOW that I would only be facing 1000 players lol [censored] sucks. But I got 2 wins right now and 3 losses , only good thing was the 2 weekend players pack with 2 wins , so I kept Johnson and sold Jackie , so that’s a plus I guess. Just sucks facing these sweaty players all dam weekend because I broke 900 for the first time.

Another game dominating my opponent all game and of course he turns into a super saiyan lol you even know when they are about to transform when they get rewarded bad hits. I think they incorporated some system where the losing opponent just gets granted hits to make the game closer to. Might be fun for the losing opponent but it sure ain’t fun for the opponent who was dominating all game. Sh!t sucks . Maybe during the weekend classic they can take out that mechanism. Especially when playing in 900s. No need to help when both players are obviously good in high ranked divisions. You gonna reward bad hitting for a 1000 player ?!? Dosnt make sense.

Last time I really cared for event was when they would give out those cards you could only aquire by racking up wins in events.

This happened to me with castro yesterday , cost me 2 runs. The ring around him went to red like it was going to be a hard catch and it was an easy catch , he literally didn’t go after it . It’s happened to me twice now this year.

See that’s something I can do slowly but surely , hell yeah thanks for that info !

@GoozeFn_PSN I seen someone on Twitter mention play a certain amount of games and then bunt the rest of the season … is that what you referring to ? If so then I’ll give it a a try I guess and go look up some tutorial on YouTube how to do it . Funny I never even finished those seasons , I got that summer one and moon shot with like 5 games left but I’m just not tryna grind anymore lol

@Talkingben9558_XBL even when they reset and are ranked in 700s they should still match up with someone who at least has reached 1000 one time.

@tear4eddy_PSN just reached 900 today I wouldn’t say I’m a loser . The whole reason playing any video game is because it should be fun and challenging right ? Well there’s no fun in facing those players and them hitting homerun after homerun in the first inning , they are way better than me and I acknowledge that . Just sucks getting matched up with them and already knowing you about to take an L lol it’s just like Madden or cod , you will never get matched with a top tier player unless you are equally that good . Here they get matched up with us regardless and just get smashed . But whatever , I been continuing taking my Ls .

That hasn’t happened to me . Only thing was they kept on running or would go on a base hit automatically. I switched my base running in settings and don’t happen no more

If I’m not mistaken this has been a topic of issue since I personally started playing in 17. I think that’s just a personal issue . Some people going to hate it some love it … at the end of the day just play with whoever you want . And I say that and I’ve experienced playing with a fun team or supercharged players for sun and I match up with a sweaty all 99 team lol sucks

@IrishFist412_MLBTS that’s crazy kinda exactly what I just literally wrote . At times the games just feels unfair when you hitting good and not getting rewarded , it’s tough . I was there with you hitting 400 sometimes even but you just keep on playing and once you out of all star the hitting feels better , also just hit 900 today first time, felt good. Only thing is I don’t know about Legend difficulty on 900s so I got humbled 2 games to say the least lmao I give them props for having that nasty reaction time.

@Teak2112_MLBTS
That’s crazy I thought they were giving out way too much this year , but I stopped playing since 20 I believe . Back then just had to get abuncha stats for immortals I believe lol I remember we would have games just grinding on ranked going up to like 100 runs hahahahhaah crazy year , trading wins for stats. If anything I would say the amount of collections is overwhelming , idk if it’s been like that for the past years , but dam , they still money hungry this deep in the season.

Not even gonna ready the whole thread , all I gotta say about mini seasons is I’m not doing anymore of them at all lol they crazy if they think imma sit and play the 28 games just for 2 cards , and they could’ve been the best cards in the game don’t get me wrong , I still wouldn’t grind that lol I got lucky this year and pulled Ohtani and Judge twice this year so I have a good stacked squad where I don’t need that cards also another factor. I think one more card and I’ll have O day but that’s about it I’m not grinding lol currently saving up money to buy those dam spotlight cards for Griffey …. Sucks I can’t play with one of my favorite players I always look forward to playing with without spending that much Stubbs.

It’s happens to me about 3 times now this whole year , the last time being about 2 weeks ago , it said I got disconnected from the servers. I’m hired wired also . But I remember back in the day when I played before taking a break till this year was in 22 I believe , bro I was getting kicked out at least 2 times every season lol that was horrible. I was on wi fi back then on ps4 though .

What everyone said has truth behind it , thanks for sharing yalls experiences with the game , it’s cool to know how it’s going for each and every one of yall. At the end of the day I’ve found out that you just gotta take it for what it is and deal with it, bite your tongue and continue to play. I hope the developers see these threads and help them make the game better for years to come. Last thing I will say is pitching is really good for me on analog except for random times when pitchers leace a hanging sinker down the middle . Hitting wise , I finally cracked 900 today for the first time this season boys , first time experiencing legend and my opinion on that is my [censored] ain’t ready for that lol played 2 games on legend and I feel like I gotta really focus and be ready to react , I like it , I liked the challenge , pretty cool . Than I noticed I am now in the diamond 1 group for The Weeknd classic so idk if that a good thing or bad thing I reached that level . Another thing I experienced also was my pci shrinks on sliders , all I’m gonna say on that is that’s cool and all but it’s gotta be more rewarding for sure if imma hit it anywhere near the inside of the pic with good contact . Also I now have came to the conclusion of there isn’t really a rewarding gap between power and contact hitters .. that [censored] dosnt exists . The reason I say this is because contact hitters and power hitters have the same outcome in the end, I’ve tested this out personally . I feel like if I am sacrificing power for contact I should get a higher percentage of base hits when making good contact instead of flying out like I would hitting with a power hitter. Last thing I’ll say is sinker and change ups cheesed up high need to at least be a basehit when hit with good contact no matter what . That pretty much sums up my opinions as of now . My bad I just remembered also ……. All these new cool cards need to at least have 1 quirk. And im not talking about those prospect cards either, thats fine leave them with no quirks . But all these spotlight cards and program cards dropping , give me at least a quirk make us feel good baby , it dont take much to just copy and paste a quirk. And honestly idk if they even work tbh !!! lol but its cool to go to each player and see and learn their quirks. That’s about it now. Thank you all again for sharing on this thread , I read each one , we all experiencing somewhat the same . I gave out my tips that I did on another post that helped me out a lot hitting, if anybody has questions or whatever just message me.

Because they know how to hit the ball ….. lol so when I said it’s random I ment when you hit the ball for good contact and it results in an out . Your opponent comes and hits an early home run…… that’s random . Those good players you talk about usually hit it perfect dead on.

I just don’t get it , this game isn’t about skill , it’s about swinging and hoping for the best. What good does it do that we hit BP before jumping online if our opponents are gonna get homeruns on early hits ?! I don’t get how my good squared up ball is an out to center field but my opponent comes up and hits an Early home run ! I just don’t get it. Why do they get rewarded and I don’t !? Or my squared up just late is an out but my opponent gets a Late base hit .. how does that make sense ?! It’s just RNG every dam game. Why don’t they take out all that [censored] out in games 800 and above ? I feel that would be awesome, and also in late innings maybe past the 7th inning no stupid early or late hits allowed. Also those cheesed sinkers thrown up high need to be obliterated if we hit them good inside the PCI every single time. I don’t see baseball players throwing high sinkers all game lol it’s not real baseball. I hope they change the hitting for next year and make it more realistic and stop with the early and late homeruns. And if your going to give early and late homeruns then I deserve my dam good squared up hits , or it just dosnt add up with the mechanics of hitting. And stop handicapping us for being good players against lower level players , it is what is. Do the developers even read our posts ?! lol

I’ve played a lot of games and it’s not nearly as much R2ing as it was in the past , I’ve dealt with only like 3 players doing it. I did ask this one opponent why he kept doing it and he said because I kept quick pitching with Kershaw , which I had no idea that was considered a thing lol

So I’ve always been a WS player , and this year I couldn’t hit that well either. I got better though when I changed couple things unintentionally . (The reason I say unintentionally is because I got the controller for COD )So I finally got a dual sense edge controller during the summer sale just because I’ve always wanted one but didn’t want to spend so much money on it so I got it on sale, this controller you can fine tune the joysticks deadzone in settings which I did delay a bit so the joysticks weren’t as sensitive to my reaction , that helped. I also remapped the X button to the right trigger that is located behind the controller so I barely tap it with my middle finger and he swings , that helped ALOT. Then I also got these Kontrol freak rings that I put around my left joystick that act like cushions so it stops you from smashing the joystick outside of the strike zone and keeps every swing inside the strike zone. And finally I changed my view from strike zone to strike zone high just because I wanted to try something new. Made me a waaaaaay better hitter. Hopefully this helps you and anybody out there struggling with hitting.

Welp I played a 6-0 weekend classic player after that game , took a massive L I just quit , and then I got matched with another 1000 player , just quit again. Guess I can’t even play ranked now because of the matchmaking. This is stupid.
