Good post. One thing I’ll add: Make sure you are taking mental notes of the pitches being thrown to you. You should be taking lots of pitches at the beginning of the game. Often times you'll be able to find distinct patterns in terms of sequencing and/or specific counts.

In a show down last night, I gapped one with runners on 2nd and 3rd. I spam L1 and both runners take off. Then inexplicably, the runner on his way home turns around and heads back to third. The cpu then commences to throw to third and outs both runners. It looked like something from a blooper reel.

Its not confusing. If the game had you lock your pitcher and lineup BEFORE you are matched up to an opponent, then people would not be able to scroll through their line up to do the home field detection cheese. I like the idea!

I understand why he did it…But man it’s gonna be rough online until SDS fixes all those cheats he outlined. Yikes.

replaying homers does not freeze the game. just because it happened once after a replay does not mean anything honestly. 9 times out of 10 I cant even replay a HR if I want to, But when I am able to replay a HR its caused a total of 0 freezes.

You can replay home-runs, but this year the opponent can cancel the animation by pressing x. The freeze glitch is performed when the pitching ream replays the home-run at certain stadiums. Its real.

You are both correct. During a livestream, they stated difficulty would be based on the higher ranked players division. This was a change from previous years. However, they never updated the handbook and it still states that mixed division games will be played at all star difficulty.

Btw, you can access the handbook in game, through one of the sub menus. I forgot which one at the moment.

Probably left an exhibition game on all night and waited for the inning program to drop.

Just stopping in to watch @KILLERPRESENCE4 eat crow.

He won’t. Same guy was arguing with me about TA4 and how it was “virtually certain” that it would come after the season and it would be finest cards.

Yes, please make moments fun, or get rid of them

I’d much rather do moments than single-game missions with Daniel Nava

Most of those missions in 18 were not that bad. There were some that were terrible. But I find all moments mind numbingly boring. Its just not a fun mode. To each their own.

I actually hit a home run with him ‍️

What does that emjoi mean pointing up? I always see it and have no idea what it means.

Pretty sure that's the universal sign for Male or did you mean the shrug emoji?. They Actually say what they are if you put your mouse on them.

Yeah the male symbol thing. Is that the equivalent to saying I’m alpha or something?

No lol it just puts it automatically, I don’t really know why, just does.

Its “ I dont know man”

This is unacceptable. You should get what you paid for.

I don't think so. At least I couldn't find one

@strattdogg2k_mlbts said in Pitches out of the zone:

Throwing out of the zone is TOXIC. Especially the 59 foot dirt pitches.

Your trying to be sarcastic right?

Future stars- As video game fan, I don’t care one way or the other. As a stat nerd baseball fan, they are egregous.

The fix is simple. Have the players set line ups and select their pitcher BEFORE they connect to the opponent. No more home hunting.

Pitch speeds were universal up till 2018 I believe. Not sure if the change was user driven or not, but it would be hard to see SDS reverting after 5 years.

Just tried 120 hz for the first time yesterday. Played events and was way early on everything. It definitely helps with input lag

With progression tied to xp, I am shocked SDS hasn’t made any progress with freeze offs and dashboards. Is it not a priority?

I don't think they can do anything about a natural freeze off and that probably has to do with the connection between you and your opponent.

As for dashboarding; they did do something minor. If you dashboard before you get 8ABs you don't get the PXP that was earned up to that point.

Fair point about dash boarding, that is a bit of progress. Doesn’t seem like enough though. Why can’t the play just finish out after the disconnect?

They are a boring chore and a lazy content conduit.

Its a flashback, so Hader
