Just what it says in the topic. This is getting out of control.

I'm tired of all the [censored] patches you do every year and break the game. I'm sick of the [censored] comebacks you have the CPU do in games where they are being beaten to make it "exciting". I just had the CPU have me commit 2 errors in a row to load the bases and then the next batter take an outside pitch deep for a grandslam to take the lead then when I'm up to bat pick my runner off base with just a normal lead to end the game. Great realism SDS. If you didn't understand that last part was sarcasm.

This take ain’t it, saying they don’t care is like saying EA is a good company. They clearly care, it just isn’t as easy as you think it is to fix server issues. Be patient.

I agree with your overall POV but at lot of this frustration could be mildly alleviated with a side acknowledgment by them that they are aware, working on it, and hope to have a resolution soon - maybe even an estimated timeline.

PR 101. Even a college intern know this.

I mean, they truly don’t owe any of us anything.

I do believe your brain isn't functioning, you may want to see a doctor about that. Of course they owe the consumer something. We paid good money for a functioning game, and guess what, this game doesn't function.

Tony from the RTTS/Ballplayer Team posted a blog today going over some of the things the design team is monitoring based on the feedback about RTTS and Ballplayer.

Don't feed the trolls. This clown is one of the worst trolls out there

Dude yeah sometimes I rag on you casuals and DD noobs but this post I was actually being real, the core mechanics are there, just needs a slight tweak to make fast balls faster. If you actually play on Legend every year with pitch speeds on max you will notice it right away...I basically notice fastballs were a tad slower after 3 at Bat but breaks and snaps on offspeed stuff like curves and knuckecurves and splitters were different for the better. I know I'm in the super minority with this game but I'm hoping SDS could patch the fastballs a little faster, 2019 pitch speeds was on point.

If your such a hard-core veteran why aren't you one of the top ranked players?

Dude, cause I'm not a DD noob....95% of you don't know baseball.

And what do you actually know about me? Do you know that while you where still in diapers I had already been playing college ball? Or do you know that in the early 90's I was playing single A in Florida? You don't know [censored] about me little boy.

Whoopty duputy so you must play on Legend with pitched speeds at 10 then...which is not the norm...why you getting cranky for?

You talk a lot of [censored] about things you know nothing about. Maybe you should check your ego at the door before you start to spout off in the forums.

It just astounds me that after all these years you still break $hit every time you try to patch something.

@grizzbear55_psn said in BOO HOO HOO:

Most impatient people i've ever seen. Sorry crybabies but real money on peoples account will take precedence over your fake player career everytime. That goes for any game and any developer.

It is obviously a bug with what is going on in RTTS. Try playing another mode, earn xp, stubs, or equipment that will help you later when it gets fixed. Cuz pissin and moaning doesn't fix it. Things happen welcome to the real world.

I've read quite a lot of your posts and some I see your point but by far you seem to defend everything SDS and ridicule most other people. Everyone has issues with one thing or another in this game so just because it doesn't line up with what you want doesn't make it any less of an issue.

When I need a quick laugh or to smile I come read this.

But I have to say now, that I was able to finish event game right now without any disconnection, first in more than 5 days...
Hopefully they fixed it finally and I could stop whining

I’m not going to stop “whining” until they give me credit for the showdowns I lost due to their server errors.

Then you will be "whining" for the entire games cycle. SDS does not award victories for server errors, never has, never will. Sorry

If they were staying with Phillies theme then I would say Steve Carlton.

@dbarmonstar_psn said in CBA progress:

The other issue that the players union wants to fix is guys are ready for the major but get stuck in the minors because of the pos they play and no where to move them up. The dodgers had Paul Lo Duca in the minors for I believe it was 10 years before he got called up.

And let's all get on the same page here. The players union only wants them to be included in the players union the same as the MLB players because then the players union receives more money, much more money. They truly do not give a [censored] about players, they are a business also and are in it for money. The reason they want the years of service reduced is because the faster a player can get to free agency the higher their potential for making money. And that means more money for the players union. So it is greed all around on both sides and it is only the fans who suffer.

Once again you never know if a player is ready to be called up to the MLB. You hope the player is ready but it is always a chance that is taken by the club. Their are thousands of players who were deemed ready for the big club but could never get it going and then became career minor leaguers. It happens more often than not. So why should they receive more money while they are still unproven at a MLB level.

So I won't say much on this because I believe both sides are ridiculously greedy, but I will say this. I love to read the comments of KILLER because most of the time they are completely based on nothing true and are completely from his imagination or some fantasy world he lives in. Since that has been said now I will say my piece about both sides. I believe baseball has doomed itself because of this greed from both the players and the owners. We are probably going to see in baseball what happened with hockey years ago, and it will probably be the only way it saves the game. I for one don't believe that unproven minor league players deserve larger guaranteed contracts. If that does happen then the cost of those contracts will be passed on to the consumers, and who wants to pay nba prices to go see a baseball game. I also believe that the owners need to set up a personal retirement plan for every individual player that plays at the mlb level for their team based on time with the team and contract pay. That will ensure each player at the mlb level will have guaranteed money when they leave baseball. Minor league players do not deserve large contracts or guaranteed money. Why anyone would believe someone who hasn't proven themselves in a job deserves big money is just beyond me. No other business, and remember it's a business first and foremost, would ever pay someone a large contract for an unproven record. Both sides are very greedy and it is ruining the game. Last and not least Rob Manfred has no business being commissioner. He should be fired.

They are getting away from stick skills to give the casual players a better chance of hitting. But make no mistake, the great players will still be great and the mediocre players will just be a bit less mediocre. It really doesn't matter to me. I more or less quit playing online 3 years ago once it started to become more toxic. I'll still jump in online now and then for a game or two but rarely.

@hockey4all2001 said in 22 may have solved the sinker problems:

I just got done running a short test on 22 with the high and inside sinkers and it looks like they toned them down. They now look like a fast change up, which are very easy to hit.
The real problem I think everyone will have is the new hitting mode. It called Timing and that's all you have to do. Just swing with the right timing and make good contact. I can see everyone now complaining that it's not fair and so on and so on. I myself do not care. I still use zone because it's feels the best to me but the new timing mode makes it to where anyone can hit.

Is timing like directional? Does the game decide where your PCI placement is ??

Yes, but it seems much more accurate. I tried it on every setting and even on legend I could still hit fairly easy. Much easier than directional.

@killerpresence4 said in MLBPA rejects mediator:

If you guys don’t believe me that the owners are not the problems, here is a sobering story about what it’s like to be a minor leaguer!!!

So I was a minor league ballplayer in the early to mid 90's and the first thing I will say is it is a choice. Most players know in the first couple of years whether or not if they have the talent to make it to the big club. After that they either choose or don't choose to keep playing. Most choose to play because they love it and because they don't really want to get a real world job, I know I did along with about 20 others from my team. But usually they are forced to quit playing or jump around all over to keep playing and taking less and less money. This isn't all on the owners, it's on the owners, the players and us for contributing to the stardom of players, which in turn makes them believe they are worth $30 million a year.

I'm going to be biased and say Robin Yount was definitely a HOF caliber player and human being. I had the honor of being the Brewers bat boy in the 80's and he and Paul Molitor were both big names at the time, but Robin Yount went out of his way to hang out with me in the dugout and actually talk baseball with a kid. He taught me that no matter how big you got you always remain humble.
