I think I am 54-8 with 2 false losses when leading ( one by disconnect, one by freeze).

I got my first free win today when I was losing 3-1 and the guy paused and ran his timer down ( I would have waited but he had his 2nd and 3rd runs on bunts where bad SDS program animations allowed the runs so I didn’t feel he deserved me waiting).

This makes the game totally unenjoyable. It also makes hitting windows almost impossible.

I live in Tennessee, so maybe I don't have the east coast connection, but f**k.

This will be one and only year playing this game.

I have already put ~700 hours into this, so I will see it through, but holy sh*t, it is not fun anymore.

Yea, if you're not close to the servers the game is a straight joke. I'm throwing slow pitch softball in this event. Sub 3 era in ranked and I can't get anyone out. Just had a DS player put up 10 on me. It was like I was setting the ball on the tee. Good/good swings in the pci are usually outs for me.

I got to thinking about all your internet theories and I think maybe you have it backwards. I played some guy that was in Venezuela….went to his twitch….and he was hitting like .420 in World Series and I could not get him out. His pitches to me were warping.

Not necessarily. Are you sure he was physically located in Venenzuela? Maybe SDS has servers in different parts of the world.

Fun facing those warping pitches isn't it? I dealt with them before but the last 2 seasons have been all the time.

Played Verlander back to back games last night. First game I basically had to pre-swing to catch up to the fastball and second game I was pulling home runs with ease.

For my opponents it was reversed. The first guy I played he could easily hit the fastball and my second opponent was a mile behind everything.

Not sure what SDS has going on with their online connections but it isn’t good.

I don't know either. Just a theory after countless hours of research on my end. Changing and adjusting everything on my end too including purchasing a good router instead of the fiber network box. IMO, they need more servers and it needs to match better according to both parties pings to that server. I truly think this is by far the biggest issue with this game.

Last I checked pitching_rebel was 30-0 this season. He would make WS at my house but wouldn't sniff 30-0. To be 30-0 you have to be good and have the good connection every game. I think you want to be near the servers and have internet that isn't good enough to put you on other servers. I'm not giving up my fiber for games (watch too many shows and movies). Being so far from the servers, I'm not convinced it would help much.

I see these HOF pitch speeds on these streamers and if that is supposed to be the speed, I would score 8+ runs a game. Actually, the few games I do see those speeds they don't last long. I don't mind losing. I would like to see those pitch speeds way more often than not. Isn't like that any more.

Besed on previous years we will probably get 2 world series rewards(1each season), and 1 more BR reward. Events who knows. They ran new events up until the end of February last year. Don't take my word as gospel though but thats what I expect

BR would be fun if dudes weren’t able to foul off everything. Doesn’t make any sense why every bad swing on a ball out of the zone keeps an at bat alive with a foul ball. Punish people for swinging at bad pitches with weak contact in play.

This is exactly why the outer PCI is a thing. It’s a crutch for those that have no plate discipline and swing at everything

Outer PCI needs to be removed, it’s a joke

I wouldn't go as far as saying it needs to be removed, but it definitely needs to be drastically reduced in size.

I just personally don’t see it’s purpose. Why is it needed?

If I had the decision, I’d remove it and slightly increase the inner pci sizes that we currently have on HOF and legend

I agree the outer is a total crutch. Makes no sense. It went from being able to tip off pitches to now hitting no doubters

@ericulous1_psn said in Just sold Pedro (no walk exploit):

Congrats. My question and this is no slight to you, what is the purpose of buying Pedro for a million when you can win him for free in a week or two. Just to be the first to super factor him? And what does that get you? Mad community respect? I'm definitely not slamming you, kudos for being able to win him honestly and making a nice profit. But why does someone pay that for a free card? Please inform. I admit, this is my first year so if there is a glaringly obvious reason, i'd totally eat my words.

I’ve assumed that it’s whether streamers or content creators that make money off playing the game. I have to assume that having some of the first gameplay or streaming using the new players is valuable. Basically, it’s an expense cost.
Or, it’s the individuals that are most susceptible to the predatory mechanics within such game modes. Those that have addictive tendencies and can’t control their impulsive behavior.

See, I never would have thought of the former answer, that's a great point. I do get the impulsive behavior, I have never gone that far but I've spent lots of stubs to complete collections that had I waited a month would have been considerably cheaper. 1M is far above my pay grade. I've never held more than 400k at a time and haven't spent any real money other than to buy the game. But the reason I never load up past 400k is that I impulsively buy cards haha.

I

All of the henchmen are like that.

Edit: and shhhh!

Well he's only 215 on the market. Might be worth the buy to flip for profit,

To lose the 12-0 game by two 4-PCI homeruns from Lindor.

How does the code behind this game allow for two separate 4-PCI homeruns?

That's not a 4 PCI placement, that's 4 for total bases. You didn't change it to "Label PCI Contact"

I agree that the order of difficulty is:

Top 50 (the competition is insane at that level, so many good players out there) Flawless 12-0 World Series - 900 rating

I almost had the 10x flawless banner last year but I stopped playing early. I would've had the 20x banner in 19, but that wasn't a thing yet. I made top 50 once in 19, but I don't grind RS as much as I used to. I haven't played a single RS game this year for reference.

Just curious. If you don't play RS anymore then what's the point of putting together a team? Even if you don't like RS it's still the only thing that resembles an MLB game. 9 innings et al

I play against friends

Kinda what I figured. Let's play one soon bud. Send me a request if u get a chance. The app isn't cooperating right now. Thanks

They say it's just visual and has been a thing all season. Whether it's just visual or not, at least know your opponent doesn't have the advantage because your PCI looks the same to them in the first inning.

Whoever “they” is must just be the ppl who play the game in general just like us. I’ve seen and heard nothing from the makers of the game. So until they say something I don’t think I believe that for the reasons I’ve mentioned above.

Well like I also mentioned. At least it's the same way for everyone. It's not like one person is at a disadvantage

Yea the first team to bat in the top of the first inning has the advantage. My PCI is never the same size unless I’m the away team and I bat first in the top of the first inning. Cuz once it’s the bottom of the 1st my PCI has never been huge.

Hummm, interesting. I have only noticed that when you are pitching opponents PCI looks bigger. So when they are pitching yours looks bigger. Not when I am batting. But maybe it is like that on legend only? Not sure.

It’s probably like that on all difficulties but on the lower ones no one notices because everyone’s PCI is naturally bigger just for the simple fact that it’s an easier level of difficulty. But when the difficulty increases the PCI gets smaller. But I only ever see this occur when I’m the first team to bat in the top of the first and my PCI is abnormally larger than it should be or if I’m pitching first in the top of the first inning and my opponents pci is the size of the strike zone. Sometimes on occasion the PCI isn’t big at all in the top of the first but it’s rare. I always pay attention to this because after the [censored] I’ve experienced I’m convinced it does give an advantage. I don’t believe that “it’s visual” [censored].
