    RE: 42 Event - Will rewards stay after this Friday?

    It is quite obnoxious that they don't tell us how many parts an event is. I get the impression this one is a 1 part, getting 20 wins isn't terrible and the rest is for the grinders. It seems like a very easy plug into the "event info" section of the event.

    This event has been tougher than normal for me as I think many casuals are sitting it out because HOF difficulty, it seems every game I'm facing someone with a 42-20 ranked seasons record and every game is a sweat. I have yet to get the guy that's 9-14 that swings at curves in the dirt every pitch.

    RE: Market frustration

    There are boat loads of one stubbers out there with no life that will sit there for hours on end undercutting by one stub to make profit. Not everyone wants to sit there and get one stubbed for hours to try and get a sale.

    RE: Anyone else getting disconnected today

    I recently had a game I was up 6-0 in the first, lost connection, and I was given the loss. And to be clear, I didn't disconnect...it was the other guy. My guess is he turned off his PlayStation. But that was my only connection issue

    RE: Batting sucks now

    I try not to be too critical generally, but I'm having way too much good good contact result in 88 mph exit velocity fly outs to medium deep OF. Pitches that are squared up very well that would have been 100+ exit velocity 2 days ago. At the same time, I had 2 home runs about an hour ago that the pci was completely off the ball...on a slurve from osuna. I'm not sure what happened, I would like them to revert back to 2 days ago. I don't mind if they shrink the pci a bit or speed up the pitches so hitting isn't so easy...but good pci placement and timing should result in good contact.

    RE: Update 4/26 - ACCOUNT LINKING

    Servers have been notably better for me the last 2 days. Not perfect yet, but much better. Good to know some gameplay bugs were also being looked at while servers were top priority.

    RE: New Showdowns

    One thing i noted right away, most of the hitting ones you start with a guy on base. I will agree they are generally easier and faster. I'm working through NL right now. One of the 2nd tier ones for example was to score 3 runs in 3 innings...but they start you with bases loaded in the 1st. I hit a single and then a HR and was done...easy peasy. But even without the HR I could have manufactured at least 2. The toughest was the 1st one so far, scoring I think 2 runs off Sixto Sanchez. There was a moment against the Brewers where you needed 3 hits AND 3 strikeouts, so one side of the ball wasn't a complete waste of time.

    Also worth noting, you get 2 diamonds right off the bat instead of 1...which is generally nice. I went Yelich and Rollins

    RE: New Showdowns

    2nd showdown is vs Tom Glavine, needing only 3 runs and 15 outs. I forgot to check if it's veteran or all-star. But regardless that's easy. Also you start with a guy on 2nd.

    Yes, they were down, for a matter of seconds, they're already up again.

    Sometimes, when you are running a game for millions of people, you have to turn things off for a few seconds in order to make them better. We will all be ok with this 72 second inconvenience.

    In the meantime, let's post about it on the forums! lol

    This tool...

    They're back, it was less than 2 minutes, someone posted about it.

    Where's the toot? Facts bother you tonight boss? Sorry 😞

    It's not about facts brown noser it's about making sure the people who paid extra early are getting what they paid for, a functional early access game is not too much to ask for. This is why they delayed beyond opening day, to address these issues. There are companies that stress test servers for big launches and apparently SDS didn't do their homework.

    Find another studio to kiss up to company boy

    Edit: That 30 seconds to 2 minutes is enough to kick people out of 9 inning games and tedious moments so they have to redo those annoying moments.

    Brown nosing? Company boy? Someone must not understand compassion and empathy. Sorry man, that's a tough way to live life. I hope you find a way to cope with this difficult 2 minute break from the game. Tough stuff, I know.

    As a side note, name calling is against TOS. Sorry about the ban, but hopefully it will allow you to reflect about your poor decisions.

    You're the type of guy that goes out of his way to be annoying and irritating, aren't you?

    I'll apologize on behalf of the other guy if the name calling hurt your precious feelings...

    RE: Dedication to mlb 21

    Aside from the server issues, I really like the game as well. I really like what they did with TA. Going team by team was a huge pain, going by division is so much more reasonable. Accumulating 250 innings with NL central players is so much more reasonable for example than 250 innings with pirates players. Overall the content is really good, and I'm really not surprised by issues considering the cross platform and next gen from 20 to 21. It's kinda insane actually how much work must have gone into this years game. I'm sure server issues will resolve in due time, it's always a bit rough at launch.

    Question on double XP weekend?

    How do you get double XP when you can't even get on the servers?

    I just finished my last few giants strikeouts as well. Wonderful timing.

    RE: Check Swings in MLB 20 to Cheese Pitching in MLB The Show 21.

    Perfect input should result in a pretty well located pitch. I don't have a problem with adjustments to make getting that perfect input more difficult. With pinpoint pitching it seems like they should easily be able to speed up the actions or have non-perfect input result in missing location by a larger amount than it currently does. I would assume they'll do this at some point...they couldn't just make it super difficult right away as this was a brand new feature and there was always going to be a learning curve.

    RE: Bad hitting being rewarded

    I would be more upset with the HR's that come from PCI not even on the ball. bloop hits happen, and can happen consecutively. I get annoyed when a guy smokes a HR with the PCI not on the ball. I think part of it stems from how much pitcher confidence impacts the results. all the non-pci hr tend to be when pitcher confidence is low, but I can square up a ball against degrom in the 3rd inning and if his confidence is high it will probably be a rocket right at someone or inexplicably just be a 300 foot fly ball out.

    After the Lester mission, what's the max possible earned for daily moments? Just checking to see if I missed any, I'm at 22.

    RE: Off-speed this Year

    Yeah those types of pitches aren't that tough to hit if you can time it right. If anything, it's way easier than it should be for trash PCI droppers to hit low offspeed, at least on all star difficulty. You really need to get that offspeed in the dirt or away enough that they can't pull it in the air or it's gone. If you're playing hall of fame difficulty or higher, those pitches are a bit tougher to hit if they are out of the zone...so you'll have to have a good eye and make sure it's in the zone. If it is, slider low and away is still pretty easy to rifle opposite field and changeup down and in basically you might as well put it on a tee.

    RE: Daily moment with your player

    Yeah this one wasn't super easy. I made perfect/perfect on a normal swing and Robles ran it down in the gap. I had to switch to power swings and eventually hit a HR down the left field line. Took I think 3 or 4 games.

    RE: The bad players always win

    @nobuntcheese_psn said in The bad players always win:

    i had 9 hits 6 of which were perfects, hit 4 homeruns scored 6 runs, guy im playing has 11 hits 10 of which pci was really bad positioned , I mean in fifa if you shoot 30 shots from really bad areas you might get lucky and get a goal, But 10/11 bad hits being rewarded not hitting a single homerun until it was bottom of 9th with 2 outs he hits a no doubter after going 0/4 to a ball buried in the dirt no doubt his pci was probally at the top of the strikezone , These guys just play in high elevation stadiums and swing at every pitch and get rewarded for it, Even in real life at coors field the balls goes deep but the players actually make contact its a shame SDS have made this game cater to bad players instead of making them get better at hitting, Constant contact swinging , Fouling 4 pitchs then getting a base hit is really not fun

    I lost an event game where my pop had 7 hits, 2 were good timing and placement. I had 100 good good and 3 were hits. SDS does this so these casual allstar warriors don’t stop playing

    The event games are quite the crapshoot, mostly because making contact is so easy. I'm pretty regularly in CS in the low-mid 800s in ranked, I'll play against kids that have around a .500 record in ranked seasons that swing at [censored] and sometimes are able to scrape together a run off bad contact(in events I admittedly usually play with scrub defenders so bloop hits should drop in more). Meanwhile I'll have 2 perfect/perfects go right at guys and miss enough on other stuff that they can get the 1-0 win. Hall of fame difficulty would help immensely with the skill gap allowing better players to win more. That said, events isn't really intended to be that competitive of a mode so it just kinda is what it is. The better player still usually does win on average. I probably win 8 of 10 against players I'm clearly better than and lose 8 of 10 against players that are clearly better than me.

    RE: This game helps those with no skill

    Has anyone had a garbage player PCI drop on a low and away changeup 6 inches below and outside the zone get pulled for a HR by a silver player? I don't care if it's CJ Cron against a lefty, nobody can do that.
