@Captain_Chegster said in Change My Mind: This game is not Fun or Competitive:

1. Facing 99 Kluber every [censored] game.
2. Skill Generally is Not Rewarded
3. Fly balls bouncing off our defenders’ heads.
4. The game is not allowing us locate pitches & Our pitchers throwing meatballs right down the middle for homeruns regardless of pitcher control stats.
5. It’s either Homerun, double play, or bust.
6. Perfect/Perfect feedback is an out. But Good/Okay Contact is blasted into the stands for bombs.
7. High Sinkers and High Velocity dominate this game.
8. When you start smacking around Little Billy, the game’s RNG & scripted gameplay starts to impact your win/loss w/ errors and other bs.
9. Constantly being unfairly matched up with Godly squads.
10. Most importantly, Why even “practice” when it doesn’t make perfect in this game?

Unless anyone can convince me, I’m taking a break from this game until they patch it. Call of duty has been fun.

Just deleted the game. Started playing this game during MLB 17 and I will not be getting MLB 21. Good riddance SDS.

They honestly completely broke the game. Even broken for offline grinding. You're telling me every time I square up the ball on a rookie red moment for showdown my result will be good okay? This game needs fixing asap. Showdown is currently impossible to complete due to a broken game. PS. Yes, I took pitches and swung at meat balls.

@SHOW_TIME_ryan said in Why don’t they show the opponents PCI placement?:

What’s the point in hiding it? This is a serious question that maybe SDS can explain their reasoning.

It used to show and we’d complain that no way that should be a hit, so sds hides it now.

@EvylShaun said in No one is forcing you to play showdown...:

Literally no one. Not one single person.

So if you're not enjoying it, perhaps you should stop playing it? Just a suggestion.

Actually they are by making it the main way for affinity and 70 program stars

@varmo said in Showdown pisses me off:

So. Was 14-15. Had 9 strikeouts left. All lefties waiting. Pitcher had 0 confidence.
And then i get weak bloopers, strikeouts, warningtrack hits and pitcher seems to have no problems locating everything.
So yea...failed....
Really tired now...

I had cole up to 120 pitches. He went super Saiyan and did his best Picasso impersonation. Long story short. I lost

@ryansitko11 said in MLB 20 possible RNG exposed:

Something similar happened to me about a week ago. It was a foul ball on good timing but I didn't check to see if it changed to late timing after. Definitely weird

Oh there’s 100% something weird going on and I doubt devs reply to this thread

I know a lot of us say this game is RNG, but this clip may prove it. I was watching Razzorsharpe on stream last night and he hit a good good, but the ball went foul. His feedback then changed from good to late. The clip is shown as a gyazo gif.

@Texans4lyfe said in Communication from SDS:

I feel like tons of outrage would be eliminated if we had communication from the studio about what’s currently happening in the game and if they plan to fix it and when. It’s clear from the forums that the community isn’t happy but the
Overall silence besides a tweet saying “we hear you” is really ineffective.. games thrive when there is open dialogue between the consumer and developer in my opinion. Wish we could hear more from them instead of leaving us to wonder

They're night and day between madden, trust me. They said they are aware of our feedback. Their entire city is in lockdown I believe and they're trying to work from home I think. Let's try to be patient.

1. I can't hit
2. I can't pitch
3. I can't field
   How am I supposed to play? Call me bad at the game I don't care. I'm not the greatest player, but was able to make CS a few times last year. Now I can't win a game it feels like lol.

Something is going wrong for sure. I’m trying to start a game against the CPU but it keeps saying “challenge failed” and “lost connection with opponent”

How do you lose connection to the computer

saying same thing for me with mini seasons

@shawnzinator13 said in servers:

Yeah it feels sluggish as launch day last couple of days

been trying for 20 mins to get into a mini seasons game and the servers won't let me.

@king_lando112_psn said in Too much??:

I feel like this collection ask way too much from us this year or it may just be a cash grab. Yes, the card has good attributes and looks good but the best way to get it seems to be by spending money on stubs. In prior collections, you weren’t required to collect every voucher. You could miss one or two vouchers if you please, but not this year. You have to collect all 16. You have to collect every card in a set minus 1 or 2 cards, which is way too excessive in my opinion. Especially when they added expensive new cards into the game that go towards the collection and the cards are already expensive as is. Normally in years past things were reasonable, yes you would have to collect the majority but you could miss out on the 100k + cards if that wasn't in your stub/price range. In prior years people who wanted to play the game for fun could still get the collection completed if they wanted to. This year it feels like you have to buy stubs to get it done with everything the collection is requiring for you. The reward for putting time into this game doesn’t seem worth it. The games don’t even reward you with enough Stubbs when you play an online game (RS, Events, or BR). For completing a collection/voucher you only get 1000 stubs for locking in multiple cards that add up to or exceed 200k+ stubs. I like the card art and the attributes but I feel like this year it’s too much to collect. It’s like you have to collect every card in this game this year unlike years prior. Hopefully I’m not the only one who thinks or feels this way.

way too much

Lag compensation

Interesting, just learned something new after googling it. So essentially you have a bigger timing window when you play with lag?

Lineout. This event summed up

@crimson_monk_psn said in Comedy PSN messages:

not too funny, other than the fact his person says they are 10 yet their vernacular is definitely that of likely an adult. No 10 years old says "hit the bottle" lol

could actually be the "daddy that left to hit the bottle" playing on his 10 year olds account

The meth part is what cracked me up

@notoriousheb_psn said in Comedy PSN messages:

Need to up your trash talk game. I'd be toying with this kid so much he'd cry and need a therapist.

I didn’t wanna bully him. Reason I didnt lol

@jonblaze2424_mlbts said in Comedy PSN messages:

Dumb question, but what app is that? Quite a few times I’ve had the urge to tell someone they played a hell of a game or that they’re adopted…going into messaging and finding them is too much work for me. This looks easy.

Playstation app

The last message actually put me to tears... Used Gyazo links because I do not know how to upload images.
