I just tried online and it's the same frustrating [censored] as before for me. I was consistently late against Newhouser. It's to the point where online play just isn't fun.

It's something to do with lag or servers I have no idea. But there's something off this year. I was never amazing at the game or anything but good enough. Was championship series level the last few years and events I'd win at least 2/3 of my games. This year I'm consistently losing to scrubs I know I'm better than solely because of pitch lag. I've never seen so many opponents swinging 20 feet before the ball crosses the plate on offspeed stuff, striking out 21 times yet winning 3-2 bc they timed 1 swing correctly. It's a joke.

I thought last year's game played better than it had in years. Extremely disappointed this year.

Care to fill me in on what the patch specifically addressed? I saw there was an update but I'd more or less given up on online for the time being, just grinding offline. But this sounds promising I hope?

Lmao in the Tyler glasnow moments, I bunted to speed up the game. In my final atbat, I literally bunted a rainbow single that dropped in just past the 3rd basemans leap and just at the feet of the hustling left fielder. What a joke.

SDS deserves their fair share of criticism for sure (fielding is a joke, fly balls hit you in the head, outfielders moonwalk 30ft at extreme speeds, baserunning is flat terrible, hitting and feedback is terribly inconsistent, servers are awful this year, etc).

But their diamond dynasty content is not where the criticism should be directed. At all. They've already released a ridiculous amount of content. Hell, they just put out 30 90+ FS cards for free. 85 Zimmerman, 87 glasnow, 88 tim Anderson and 93 Didi are basically handed to you. A day or so after I had the game, they gave me 90ovr Cargo who rakes. 85 posada is legit. Not to mention the xp rewards and programs where you get a bunch of legit high diamonds for free. That includes by far the best pitcher in the game. And Reggie mashes. Etc etc etc.

Go try to play nba2k... they release packs that you literally cannot use your myteam points to purchase, it's exclusively for those who buy MT. And they're constantly making 3-4wk old cards virtually obsolete. That game is a joke.

In the show, they literally tell you when you want to buy stubs that it's completely unnecessary. Granted, covid has aided my progress but I haven't spent a dime, I have mantle and about 200k stubs I'm sitting on. And I did get lucky by packing Trout twice from reward packs but that just sped up the process by a few weeks.

If you play the game, there's no reason to buy stubs and the people who do are just cheesedicks. If they just say log in, here's every card on the game, what fun would that be? So we all agree there needs to be some method to attaining high ranked cards. They're a business, of course they're going to let you buy them if you want. That's a given. But other than that, how else besides playing the game and completing tasks and missions would you suggest me the means to attaining the best cards? A lottery system?

Man, I started wondering after a while if I was going crazy. I'd go into games and the pitches would be at me the instant the ball left the pitcher's hand. It was maddening.

And then they decided to make pt2 of the 1st event on HOF which completely ruined it for me. I kept testing my internet and I was getting 200mbps but still this would happen.

I've never had this problem in previous games and I do just fine playing on legend offline but I haven't really seen this talked about on reddit.

I'm not holding my breath, but with this being a server issue I assume, anyone think they'll actually fix this bs? Or do their customary just ignore the problem unless backlash forces them to do otherwise?
