Pete Rose is banned from baseball but 2017-2019 Houston Astros team is still allowed to play baseball, makes sense to me.

Real men don't need a PCI for baseball, if i need to play a game where I point and aim I'd play a Sniper game

Is that a ransom note?

Cards! Card! You're concerned about Cards!. Who gives a [censored] flippin [censored] about Cards, fix the gameplay like increase the pitch speed and fix the throwing errors. Cards!! he said card!. This is a Baseball game not Pokemon.

Online play is turning this game into a steaming pile of garbage, this year's game is way too easy and its because online people want to have team averages in the .600s and football scores....that's video game baseball. And for the noobs that's gonna say "but its a video game gooble gooble gooble" yes, we know noobs, but some of us want to play Baseball in a video game that leans towards a Simulation...sorta like Microsoft Flight Sims or Racing Sims. Baseball already has an arcady one, its called RBI Baseball, it gets released every year. So my suggestion is to make two games, one to satisfy Online people and one for Simulation/Franchise people, fine maybe it doesn't have to be two games just release like a DLC for Sim players..I don't care paying an extra 50 bucks for it but please stop dumbing this game down.

The hitting is better in 20, more in tuned with user skill...you prolly like 19 because its for beginners prolly...I guess we all had to start from somewhere. Keep practicing and maybe when you're gonna enough you'll graduate to 20.

Haha non genders...are Cuttlefish and Garder Snakes reading on these forums?

New commentators or just new commentary situations?

Tune in and find out

That’s what I like to hear!

I don't know how you guys could play with commentary on, I tried it for like the first time ever since playing The Show from 2011's to now and its annoying as hell, I had to turn it off after 1 inning. Doesn't it break your concentration? I play at pitch speeds maxed and Legend hitting and I need zen like concentration...I even notice when I zone out and day dream for an inning or two I strike out a lot so having to hear 3 guys say the same things over and over as a pitch is hurling at you is F-ing distracting.

@XxDeathReyxX said in Why was guess pitch removed?:

Yeah. Takes a real warrior to play competitive video game baseball.

Who says anything about competitive baseball?, I'm not playing Esports baseball or anything I'm trying to play at the highest level I can with hard work and practice...you know a sense of self acomplishment that's not fake and nooby or rage quitting cause I stuck out 4 times in one game and saying the game is broken...sorry I don't have a loser's mentality...if something is hard you try harder!

"I will try to make this quick" he says

How do you know its coming?

How much do you get paid to throw the word "noob" into every single one of your post? Plus I think you should look up the definition of it because I think you use it incorrectly.

Noob, duck hunt and casuals in a rotation; I think he keeps a notepad/word file and copy pastes the same posts all year every year

I gatta put back Red Bull and pizza pocket back in the rotation.

@joshjays44_PSN @xMarTiiniix_XBL im telling you try out Zone-hitting with Analog to swing but turn PCI off and it will be invisible but you can still control with left analog where to flick it and will still show in window after where you placed PCI...ever since I’ve been using this I been Mashing..I’ve always used pure Analog since 2k and MLB too and switched to zone hitting but with swinging with Analog then eventually I turned PCI off after mastering it ....I feel like it’s so cheezy to just hit a X button to swing the analog def has a true life feel to it and I’ll never go back from using it

Yeah dude, I know the PCI will become invisible if I do your method but I want the hitter's ability stats to determine more of the outcome not only me..I sorta want it 50/50 so that's why I do just Analog Stride...again I'm more of a realistic player not a casual noob DD kinda guy that plays these games in an arcady kinda way. That's why playing this way Sliders play a major role, and a lot of time is spent perfecting it. And yes, I agree with you..pressing X is such a silly way to hit in the Show, its almost like playing a racing sim but you're using a controller instead of a wheel...soo nooby.

I would think that they would mention it if they did.

We are in a weird area where the really good online players say it is still too easy while the rest of us curse the new system.

the first couple weeks it felt impossible for me to check swing and now I can do it so easily. I dont think its just me getting used to it, it genuinely feels different

That's caused you practiced for a while.....DD people are incapable of doing this.

@abbyspapa_psn said in Helping the Bad Players:

As @joshjays44_PSN would say, the game already rewards bad players because you get all the rewards playing casual noob DD.

Why would you bring that loser into this thread lol

Its a good thing I don't play online because If I did, I would OWN you.

Pure Analog Stride hitting is always the way to go when playing The Show, it seems more natural and doesn't involve aiming at a target like its Duck Hunt or button mashing X like its a baseball game from the 90s. Its an actual swing of a baseball bat but I'm sure you know that already, its just that causal PCI noobs don't understand that. But to get to your question..no, once you practice for a while and play about 20 games you'll get a feel for the hitting and you'll realize when you hit a high fly ball or hit into a double play its your fault...don't be discourage like a casual noob, just keep practicing and take swings and it will all come together.

Here we go....another 400 ranked player giving his expertise

Dude I'm not an online casual noob....I'm a simulation player. Why would I play some casual online that has no idea how to work the count and have no idea how a baseball game is suppose to be played?

Just wanted to see what others who use Pure Analog Hitting are thinking of the game so far this year. Seems to be a lot more difficult to get solid hits. Double plays, mile high fly balls, and pop-ups to the catcher are very common occurrences for me this year. How about you guys?

Pure Analog here for me ... loving the gameplay but not having the issues you are in regards to solid hits. I used to use stride hitting as well but I grew tired of having to memorize everyone's strides and try to match it with the pitcher's delivery. My biggest struggle hitting is going with the outside pitches and being patient enough to wait on them.

But the timing of the stride for each batter is one of the thing that's awesome about Analog Stride....when I feel I'm not batting well with someone or their are in a slump I got into the batting cages and work on their swing before I play a game. Its so much better than button mashing X and moving a bullseye target around like I'm hunting birds.

OMG I can't, just can't.

Pure analog is so bad right now I almost feel forced to switch it.

Stick with it friend!! don't move to the button mashing PCI casual side cause soon after you might be tempted to play DD and then its all over for you!!

I’ve been using analog since way back with 2k. Definitely not switching. It’s just frustrating.

Thanks for being a man and not a casual.
