Pinpoint Pitching with Felix, Degrom, and Cabrera is just too overpowered. Its just not fun to hit anymore...Would much rather lose 7-6 than 2-1...

Just said he played a 15 inning game on Legend with 5 HITS!!!! 5 HITS!!!! If he cant hit, then how the hell are we supposed to?!?! hahaha

I played on legend last night and every sinker looked like it was "Instant Transmission" from the pitchers hand to the top corner of the strike zone

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.

just spot on here

I can’t think of a better way to say it. We’re only in the “5th inning” and I’m completely bored and disappointed. I can’t get myself to play h2h because hoping to at least get a hit in a 9 inning game holds no appeal. I have Mookie, Mariano, Shohei, Jackie, Chipper and 1.7 million in stubs and I’m wondering why I even wasted my time. It doesn’t matter what hitter you have if you can’t hit you can’t hit and I can’t hit. This game is not fun it’s work, my first and last year buying this game, I’m in my 40s I’m getting too old to waste my time on trash like this, I wonder how many others feel the same way. I just wish someone would bring “Baseball Stars” from Nintendo back, I’m tempted to buy an old Nintendo just to have a fun experience with a baseball game. Baseball Simulator 1000 was more fun than this game. It looks great and there’s tons of content but there is zero fun factor with this game.

The older I get the more difficult it is to keep up with the speed of some games. This one in particular. I’m still ok but years ago I was World Series every season... blah.. blah. I think the game is fine just I’m getting worse at a game that requires fast recognition and controller precision. Video games are a young mans sport.

dude I feel the exact same way this year lol

As a kid who was mesmerized by McGwire, Bonds, and Griffey, I want to have fun and hit bombs. Would much rather win OR LOSE 10-8 instead of winning or losing 2-1. This is a video game!

Yeah, but did he bother to look at the screen? Or did he spend the entire game gazing lovingly at himself in a mirror and trying hard to think about baseball?

hahaha well said. he is pretty narcissistic. Mcgunski is usually my go to as far as elite pitchers but hes been busy lately lol so ive been stuck with Kyle

Are we not going to see our stats again this year the website? I would really like to seem online. I know last year was the first year that didn't work. Any chance we get a fix?

That was the epitome of my games last night...

Check Swing Held Up, Check Swing Held Up, Early Okay Homerun...

I swear he had a splitter last time I played? Did they switch his pitches??

Hey fellas, need a monitor recommendation. Preferably on Amazon. Looking for 27 in 1 ms response time. Budget of around $200??? Appreciate all the help!

Have everything linked and Twitch says I claimed them but no packs show up

Yes.

I just had a RS game that won't show in my logs because it ended in FQ, which was offered to me by my opponent who had struck me out 20 times with P4 Cabrera!! but who hadn't been able to get a run across against me either.

I'm not normally THIS bad against Cabrera but those sliders were going from the pitcher's hand and then turning invisible.

Typically I wouldn't accept FQ mid-game but the chance to erase 20 Ks was too good an offer. I honestly can't believe someone with a 20 K game would want to FQ, but there we go. They were obviously frustrated by their own lack of offense.

omg what an amazing VIDEO game lol

I’m new to DD, so I didn’t know what to expect. Thought hitting was way too easy when I was in the 500-600 level and was a HR fest. Then I got to the 800ish level and I have zero chance of getting more than 5 hits. Dudes are throwing 100mph sinkers followed by sliders than move 9 feet. Can anyone hit at this level or did I just get really bad fast?

My dude, I envy you. I have been playing this game for 13 years, made World Series every year and I never had more trouble hitting than this year.

Same here. I usually love the competition of the game but this year I just give out free wins so I can stay in all star. At least until I get the lindor then I may try to make a run

its really so sad this year...

In a game that timing is the most important concept, we really need to have some consistent servers. I wish we could maybe choose a region to play in maybe??
