@scottd_3ds_psn said in Another trash game...:

Just played a guy whose 8-24, I got 8 hits 0 runs off Degrom, and a perfect game through 8, and of course, after a hit batter (1-2 count) a couple bunts, a fake throw, another perfect bunt with infield in, he wins. What a cheesy trash game this is. Also 99 Walker and 99 Soriano are a combined 6 for 58, 0 home runs. Just trash.

I just played a guy in the 500's. He struck out 15 times. I was using all horrible silver lineup doing a daily. My balls inside the PCI were doing nothing, couldn't even get hits. He hits 2 balls out of the zone in 9th to walk off. It is so bad you just have to laugh it off.

Let's see that box score. That would put an exclamation point on the fact this game is just Beaucoup Dien Cai Dau..for a better term.

Not sure how to do that but it was the game on 8/8 (today) at 2:05. Daily was silver OF runs so everyone in lineup was a silver OF except for Sanchez. Couldn't find one with C secondary.

Saw the game. Just weird you or your opponent didn't show as having a record for 2021.

I mean really..let's see that box score. You don't even seem to have an online record for 2021. You did play an opponent, who also doesn't have an online record that struck out 15 times.

Perhaps I'm reading your record wrong?

@therainmaker29_xbl said in How is this Possible?:

Don’t overthink it. This is a bad game. The servers are complete trash. You can make all the changes you want on your end, it isn’t gonna matter. With the exception of a few maybe on the coasts.

Servers/connections in this game are really bad and have been for some time. I have wired fiber. I rarely disconnect but I can play a 5 hour session and have an hour's worth of wtf moments. I think I am the king of weak hits against me and non-pci hr's. I think it was Friday night I had 4 non-pci hr's against me in 2 games. Warping pitch speeds are more prevalent now too.

In my experience it gets worse. A lot of the people that deal with this stuff move on to Madden which means the majority of the people left are the ones that don't see this stuff very much. That means more issues for the players that are already seeing them.

Ball has been hand to glove instantly for me on HOF. Yet, certain people can turn on 102 legend like it is slow pitch softball. The advantage certain people have is ridiculous and won't be fixed without server/match making adjustments.

Not gonna lie but I’d take less content and legends for some dedicated servers. Or if they don’t do that, atleast bring back the ping indicator they used to have years ago.. I had crappy internet then but games played more consistently I thought. I’d just back out of the pregame lobby if someone had a red ping. That would help some

We all would. But, content is cheap...really-really-really cheap..in more ways than one.

A stable and balanced network infrastructure...the opposite of really-really-really cheap. As long as people keep buying a company is not going to overhaul their infrastructure.

@dbub_psn said in Did I Face A Pro?:

So I'm a noob that mostly plays offline.

Online I am 4-0 in ranked seasons so far and I had won my first Event game.

And then in my 2nd Event game....The guy hit 4 homers in a row off my Superfractored DeGrom and I think 6 homers in the first 9 batters. (before I quit)

Most of his guys had over .500 averages and 20 or so HR each for his online stats.

It was quite the reality check! I think his username had ketodiet or something in it.

The Game Engine randomly super-nerfs and super-buffs. I've been on both ends. The super-buffing (when you're receiving) you can swing anywhere in the zone and get the "echoing crack" sound-bit every time you hit a ball.

You realize it's not going to last long because the majority of opponents recognize it for what it is and they quit. And, I never blame them. Most I've ever got was 4 homerooms in a couple innings before opponent bails.

Typically, it's after that first home-run they know, themselves, was well pitched by a 99 Diamond pitcher and defied all logic.

The super-nerfing....just hang around and read some of the more "raging" threads. You'll find out all you need to know about AI nerfing in this game.

And yet you'll play again.

He might.

But many of us do not. Everyone has a threshold where it's, like, this is the final waste of an hour of my time on a game I put my best in, that rewards me with randomly generated animation.

We all have our tipping point.

It was what it is.

The real way to prepare for an RS game is get a bowl of popcorn, some twizzlers (I prefer legal edibles), some soda (I prefer Jack and diet) leave your controller behind..doesn't play much a part. Start your match and just watch the game unfold. You'll just witness the coolest (often unusual) but typically misfit and unpredictable animation play out you've ever witnessed.

Do that 10 times and you'll have a pretty good buzz and a 5-5 record.

Undoubtedly the funniest title for a post I've ever seen on this forum. It's like a parody. or sarcasm even. if it's serious..you'll never figure out hitting in this Game. It's like an amoeba constantly changing shape and functionality. For sure, don't practice..because you'll begin to believe something works and it really doesn't.

@beardowngoblue said in Suggestions to cut down the frustration experienced in Moments:

Difficulty - I don't doubt that the listed difficulty is accurate in terms of PCI size and pitch speed, but the outcomes after the swing are pretty clearly less rewarding to the hitter than in other modes. Some clarity on this would be nice.

Good point. It's as if they blow-up the PCI size to reflect rookie or whatever, but still have it in HoF mode relative to outcomes. Don't know that we'll ever get clarity on this though.

You've got great points, but most of what you mentioned is the "smoke and mirrors" intentionally (not accidentally) coded into this game to make it "exciting" while also dictating outcomes and the resulting animation they queue up to paint on your screen to support the outcome without a lot of emphasis on controller input.

I just don't see them fixing an intended design.

@johnutah312_xbl said in With Madden coming out Thursday (EA Play) - Is there a big drop off in Diamond Dynasty?:

Madden will suck online it always does.

What sports game doesn't suck online most of the time? FIFA can be a disaster, and it's been said by a forum full of ppl in here how erratic this game is.

I don't think Madden will have that much of an effect. Sports games are as seasonal as the sport they represent. When I bought The Show this year it was just excitement about MLB starting in general. Thought the game could compliment and, was I ever wrong, reflect the real game.

So, MLB season is winding down so a lot of customers have already lost interest. Specially if their teams are long out of it.

And, these online sports games just get stale. I've read 2 months is when fall-off starts and by 3 months about 50% of the original customer base has moved on to other diversions. That's why you see the pattern about 4 months in (when online play has turned into a ghosttown) they start all these give-aways of coveted players..99 Diamond in the Show..similar in FIFA and MAdden.

Just to keep and, potentially, draw some players in so those few that remain actually have someone to play against online. Nothing spells the end of a game's cycle more than a great absence of online opponents.

I went back and played FIFA for the first time after December (In 5 years of playing FUT) and built a team of players (in about 1 week) that I couldn't have touched even one during the initial 3 months of release last September.

But, I've already found it's fairly boring having a team loaded with the best. When everyone else you play does too. I acquired the players, which was kinda fun doing the objectives, and am burnt on that game again.

@ibonafidescrub_ said in They released new stuff today?:

Just move on dude, for a person that hates the game you post too much [censored] here.

I don’t hate the game. The game is pure bliss. You might even find some posts where I had very helpful recommendations to make it better.

How could one hate something they so obviously wants to make more appealing? Much more appealing and playable in fact. You’re just joshin’ me aren’t you amigo?

@eatyum_psn said in They released new stuff today?:

Lol, they didn't, they released it on Thursday.

Dang, my life story..day late and a dollar short.

Oh, I forgot I don't care.

Just joking, I care for all of you who actually care. If this game is your thing and Friday's give you something to look forward to..I would never play the Debbie Downer. Go, frolic with your new Missions, Conquests, and roster updates.

@ironeyes_cody_psn said in How many people believe they've been catfished:

Ok, there are all kinds out here. Some sincere, some pretty sketchy. There are some folks that really seem to be all about helping out with this game. And, for the most part, they do a good job of it. Probably the primary focus of this forum I would imagine. To market and manage the product.

However, their are people that say the most ridiculous stuff. There is this one guy that tried to convince everyone he was an ex-triple A baseball player. And, TBH, that's not hard to believe. I'm sure this game appeals to ex-baseball players in general..by and large.

It's just this guy's entire narrative was so off. The main reason is he was so deadest on trying to make people believe he was. Just promoted his story way to hard. Those are the type that, typically, aren't.

Catfish always have an agenda. They'll go so far as to drag in fake pix and bogus identities, web-links, etc. thinking you can't possibly disprove such things.

Normally to establish credentials that should make them and expert on a relevant subject, or to build a relationship (those are the ones you really need to be careful of because it's typically not your better good they are concerned with).

So you younger kids, and even older kids. Be careful. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it might be a catfish.

I would have asked for his name and looked it up on baseball reference to see if he was legit. That would solve the mystery within minutes.

Yeah, he would never give his name. Always had some story wrapped around solving a puzzle that would give it away. If you solved the puzzle you would know his identity. And the puzzle was some goofy rhetoric about finding a high school in some Midwestern town that had a state hall-of-fame shortstop and blah-blah. Something like that. It's been awhile and It's not worth looking for the old posts.

Just like it wasn't worth spending more than 90 seconds or so trying to figure out who he was. Or wasn't more likely

But, he kept his name anony AFAIK.

Heard they traded Ronnie Woo Woo and Clark the Cub away today for 97 Diamond Austin Martin.

Front Office figured with those The Show ratings he would have them back in the playoff hunt by the end of August. Despite the fact he's never advanced past Double A.

Haha..ok Doc. I'm still laughing. However you want to rewrite history is up to you, but we both know you lost your cool. Ya can't carry a debate. Can't handle the logic press even a little. You know who folded.

But, recount it however you want..I'm pretty satisfied at this point.

Reading an Orson Welles book doesn’t make someone highly educated

Dude, you likely mean George Orwell.

And, yeah, I've read a few of his. Pretty easy reads actually..even someone that mistakes Orson Welles (the 300 lb actor/director) for the author George Orwell could make it through Animal Farm or 1984..both only a tad over 300 pages as I recall.

To be fair, Welles relates to gullibility costing people their lives as well.

Also, the lessons of Orwell’s books were obviously lost on you. Enjoy your ignorance. Hint: it isn’t strength.

Oh my. Doc you aren't also just the ex-triple A guy. You're Bobby and, obviously Bobby sticking up for Yankblan's blunder..has to be you as well.

One sick puppy. I'm going to start calling you Sybil. Or "Doc"..heck I dunno. But it's fun talking with you (all of you). Ha.

For a "smart guy" who does "research", you are doing a terrible job of convincing us. You know, you can look at universal profiles and see how much each person plays and when. If you had done your research, being so smart and all, you'd see it's not possible for us to be the same person, unless we have multiple consoles and multiple arms.

Stop catfishing us all. Covid is real. Vaccines work (since 1798).

My research is not very involved when it comes to outing sock puppets. They are what they are. Pretty much everywhere.

With you, and your other profiles, it's just simple deduction and instinct. Doesn't take much research..you're easy.

Man... You've gone full unhinged over an argument over what constitutes gaslighting...

Nah..not really. Anyone that is oily/slimy enough to create multiple profiles in order to support their own postings (like you and Doc) should be outed.

It started with the proper usage of gaslighting..but developed into..."Wait a second, this guy is not only wrong..he's fake..he's fake all over the place". At that point it was more a fun mission to out the misinformation, fake arguments, accredited yet false identity, and manipulation in general.

I believe manipulators are the scourge of society..have complete disdain for people (even companies) that would resort to ganging up and bullying people with a bunch of fake profiles. Gaslighting is an extension of this. It's more effective when "the mob" start telling you reality is not what you believe it to be.

So, that's all. Just having fun and exploiting the slime-balls.

Dude, you cant even keep names straight. That guy had nothing to do with previous conversations. Alright, I'm out, your elevator got stuck on the second floor, you can't even remember who you're arguing with.

In the immortal words of Vince Neil, don't go away mad..just go away.

You'll resurface again, undoubtedly. Another profile another identity.

Brother, no one here is angry, unless you are?

I have actual life issues that are far more pressing than you

But thank you for keeping me busy tonight. I have a step son stranded in Brazil due to international flight restrictions (that virus you think is fake), and I'm on my fifth call with him trying to find a flight home after his has been cancelled/changed 3 times.

Keep talking, it reminds the rest of us that it co
uld ALWAYS be worse, even in these trying times.

You know you're so pizzed off right now. Completely outed you, and you thought you were smarter than the average bear. Drove you to completely jumping out of character of the esteemed "writing teacher" Paul Lucas. I LOVE IT! Doesn't mean I won, but you surely ain't going to get anyone to believe you ever again.

If you really have family stranded, I feel bad for you.

But, I don't ever feel bad for going out of my way to destroying false narratives and manipulating Richard Craniums.

Here or there. On a house or with a mouse. HaHa.
