@iBonafideScrub__PSN idek I had a good weekend classic experience and overall an experience I’m content with up to this point but I’m giving up hope slowly buy surely.
My games were smooth as well, just trying to understand this as I saw a lot of this at the top of leaderboards. Makes zero sense to me
How can a person with 0 previous rating be ranked outside of the bronze division?
It has made me better against the inside Cutter.
The Splitter is still my Kryptonite, though. I despise that pitch, lol. At least 'against.'
Pitching-wise, it's great!
Noted.
@iBonafideScrub__PSN well I got into their discord. Ed Rod is the pitcher they recommend for newbs. You can doubt me all you want. Hope it doesn’t happen to you in your 4-0 WC run.
Oh no, I don’t doubt you at all.
I’ve been victim to them cheaters multiple times, luckily I finished my WC on Sunday and it went well, didn’t face any cheaters.
@LHUBison58_XBL u can be rly good at ppp without a script i hit perfects like 90/95% of the time. This seems like a stretch.
Pars are too big for them be dotting corners all game
Teach me how to so good at PPP
@iBonafideScrub__PSN more ranked is gonna be much easier with the multiplayer wheel coming.
Yeah, I stayed playing mini seasons and DQ even when I wanted to do ranked, just because I still needed stubs for Ohtani.
Multiplayer wheel is a nice addition, but being honest I don’t care anymore if I get rewarded with something for playing ranked… but that’s just me, because I already reached my goal, now the game for me will be about having fun and trying cards.
Watching my friend play now on TikTok… His opponent only throws perfect pitches that clip the corner, every single input is a perfect pitch… Am I supposed to believe he is that good of a pitcher?
Well, I sold both thinking they’d be half the price by Tuesday… seems like a miscalculation and will probably have to pray they add a rewind pack next weekend classic
I went 6-0 but I played in a silver division.
Now that I completed the collection I’ll try to play more ranked to qualify for Gold 1 next weekend classic.
Feels like I’m progressing way faster. I just played my 6 WC games and the following programs and I’m at 90,428:
I just used him and threw his “broken” pitch often and gave up 7 runs in 4 innings, doesn’t feel like Hader at all
We just started season 3 and everyone already has an entire lineup of switch hitters. All they have to do is fix shrinkage and make sinkers look like a sinking fastball instead of a warping slider that changed directions.
If they fix shrinkage I’ll gladly put some lefties in my lineup, right now it’s 6 switch hitter and 3 righties…
Thinking they need to have balanced pers, a good cutter and some kind of off speed changeup, forkball or splitter and the harder they throw the better. What else? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Nolan McLean and Al Leiter both have reverse splits. That helps vs the switch hitter meta.
Who does this leave for lightning? Yordan Alvarez?
Jose Soriano!
@LHUBison58_XBL good to know they’re still not even perfect lmao - guessing there was some glitch
I had an umpire make a bad call last night against me, one bad call since the update is acceptable for me.
New strike zone is amazing! Finally, we will be rewarded for dotting the black.
The problem with the way it was: you make a great pitch that straddles the black. No swing and called a ball. So now you have to try and adjust to bring it inside little more except the game fks you and serves up a meatball to be crushed.
Happens continuously in this game.
Coop last night was great as we were able to pitch ourselves to be competitive.
The only thing that pisses me off is when my opponent is consistently dotting the black with guys that I know have a PAR the size of half the strike zone.
Completely unfair and RNG. I don’t think perfect input on pinpoint or any other pitching method cause the ball to dot the black within the PAR.
Those are very likely cheaters using pitching scripts.
@iBonafideScrub__PSN Is this why it’s so hard to get doubles this year? I was wondering why I’m constantly getting thrown out at 2B even with guys that have decent speed.
Yes. They are very slow out of the box
The hook slide animation is the problem.
@mietha_PSN yeah I know what you're saying. I'm still just very much confused on the whole thing. These people paid $100 for the game, $200 to join a cheater group, and $30 month to not actually play the game. In what world, does that make sense?
I think people are focusing too much on the mp part. Yes, it definitely ruins the online experience but the mini seasons part is massive. From my understanding you could run it, go to bed and wake up with probably at least 50 packs. If you pull 2 Ohtani's haven't you pretty much paid for everything for the year or am I missing something?
This is exactly the intention behind the video, sell that exact idea…
