It is obvious

You didn’t answer my question. You have zero proof. You are just assuming that they are using timing hitting.

I’ve been using it…you cheese your opponents to death with it….with bare minimum effort.

Interesting that they added Timing and removed opponents feedback at the same time.

No they didn’t!!! Timing/direction/pure analog whatever have been here for years, and feedback was removed last year, because 20 was a sh** show. Stop making stuff up

They’re unwilling to come out and say why they removed feedback so at this point I’m fine with making up reasons why they did so. They can solve this for us.. if they want to.

Feedback is created by sending sound waves into an active speaker that is simultaneously sending sound waves out of the speaker. This back and forth movement of sound waves creates a swirl of vibrations, ultimately resulting in feedback.

Originally, feedback was a very undesired side effect of adding electronics to Spanish style guitars. To counteract this, Les Paul invented a solid body guitar, known as the log, to remove the ability for sound to swirl inside an open bodied Spanish Guitar. Fender was the next company to invent a solid body electric guitar. The most popular being the Telecaster, named because of the Television craze of the 1950's.

However, with musicians such as Jimi Hendrix popularizing the use of feedback in music, the musician and audience view of controlled feedback drastically changed. By August of 1969, Hendrix perfected the use of feedback in his now legendary performance of the Star Spangled Banner.

Footnote:

Other solutions for feedback were also invented, mainly a semi-hollow body guitar that is a Spanish Guitar, but with an added block of wood in the middle of the body to stop the swirling sound waves.

Have you ever realized how truly strange and accidental Cheetos are? While they are certainly one of Americas go to snacks, and all varieties are delicious, their creation is a story of intrigue, dishonesty, and an unexpected twist.

You see, an animal feed manufacturer in Wisconsin (the cheese state, I love irony) changed his technique for cleaning his machines. Leaving the machines moist (controversial word I know, but I still use it), the corn puffed up and turned into a curl!

Modern Cheetos, first manufactured in 1948, remove the germ of the corn to help preserve the tasty snack. However, removing the germ also removes nutrients, so nutrients are put back into the snack artificially (like really though, who eats Cheetos for nutrients).

Love Flamin' Hot Cheetos? They were invented by a Frito-Lay custodian! The custodian had a great idea, and created a small sample batch. He then presented his idea, and sample to the board. The board absolutely loved his product and began mass manufacturing and marketing of their new product. That Janitor, due to his out of the box thinking and work ethic, ultimately landed himself an executive vice president position within the company.

Moral of the story? Don't let your peers tell you that the crazy idea you've been sharing with them is going to fail. Follow your dreams.

From Janitor to VP, AMAZING!

@gundamhufflepuff_psn said in Please somebody defend this BS!:

SDS can lie all they want, but there is definitely a comeback mechanic. I was up in a BR game 7-2 with this dude hitting nothing all game then magically scores 5 runs in the bottom of the third off of BS hits then winds up winning cause I can’t be perfect every [censored] inning. Game is an absolute joke. Pitching, fielding, hitting. It’s all a pile of [censored].

In general, when I fail, I find it's easier to blame magical and mythical imaginary people. Then, I don't have to take responsibility for my actions, or attempt to improve.

Glad to see you take the same path. F self accountability, totally over rated.

I guess I don't see it that way. Golds cost less, the value of under 90 Diamonds is already lower than it was last year, and you have way more sellable cards this year.

Last year you got 2 boss cards. The main boss, and the Henchman. This year you got 6 sellable cards from the program. It's much easier this year IMO.

@sodomojo01_xbl said in I wish they would fix Mini Seasons So I Have something to play.:

Why are only certain people having this issue??

Good question but the main point that isn't being brought up is that if this BRAND new game mode was tested properly and worked out, this wouldn't be a problem. Also, the fact they have just left people hanging with no fix and hardly any info on their progress is just wrong.

Do you know what else is wrong? Well let me tell you.

Last year, beekeepers reported an average hive loss of 30-35%. Without honey bees much of our modern agriculture economy could be in danger. While many studies have been done to determine the reason for the massive decline in honey bee population, one study published in September of 2017 might hold a vital key to finally solving this global crisis.

This study was able to show that neonicotinoids are an almost guarantee to kill the hives queens. And of course without queens, hives fail to operate at all, instead, the bees just leave and find a new leader. This in return, leaves countless bees without a home, and they just lay down and die.

Researchers are working hard to find a replacement chemical for neonicotinoids, and politicians are writing bills to ban the chemical, but as of this date, Easter of 2022, our bees are still dying and very little concern is being shown by the larger global population.

@d_e_m_i_s_e_psn said in Yea, this game is unplayable on HOF.:

Last 5 opponents on east coast and ball is just warping. One of them actually offered a friendly. Looks like another year of quitting out to all star. Can you not find an opponent that isn't 1,000 miles away. Game plays like [censored]. I could care less about the losses but are they the only people playing the [censored] game? I can see and hit pitches on legend bp but simply can't see this [censored].

Really loved the 2 strike should have been in the dirt split from Chapman that stays in the zone for a 2 run tying HR. Good touch.

This reminds me of a funny story!

When I was in 3rd grade, there was this kind of stinky kid that sat next to me. The whole class nicknamed him "chap man". Sometimes we'd say what's up Chap Man? Or Chap man, the [censored] man!

Anyway, he was one of those kids that would lick his lips all winter long, non-stopped, until he had a giant red ring completely covering the lighter skin on his lips. When it got bad, the red would creep all the way to his nostrils, and completely down his chin.

The teacher always stood up for him, explaining it was a serious medical condition, but we all knew better. He was a lip licker, plain and simple. No "adult" would convince us otherwise.

One day, Chap "da" man didn't come to class. No big deal, and a little less stinky for the rest of us. Turns out, he did actually have a medical condition!

He was diagnosed with Actinic Cheilitis, a precancerous condition that's actually very serious! A couple treatments of laser ablation cleared it right up, and we all felt horrible about the entire ordeal.

Given his cured lips, Chap Man was no longer a fitting nickname. So, we went with the classic stinky binky.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane bud!

You're having fun today huh? This book looks really interesting.

lol, tired of everyone coming on here spreading negativity. Like that's going to do anything to change how the game is structured or plays. Like it and play it, or go play something else.

I'll spend my forum time spreading useless facts. Heck, they're stuck in my head, and my wife's English is still a work in progress, so I'll spread the wonderful pointless tidbits with my baseball "friends".

I dig it my dude. I enjoy hearing about Honey Bees and Buddy Guy. If you're a big music fan and haven't seen it already, watch the Foo Fighters 8 episode documentary on HBO -Sonic Highways. The Chicago episode is all about old school blues players.

I'm a former college music history prof. and current public school music teacher, so that's right up my alley! A lot of dudes like to brag here about being former athletes, or having tons of money. I AM a professional musician who's played with really big names, but I'm absolutely not rich, just rich with experiences and friends.

Teach Rock . ORG is a free curriculum for public education that features a lot of the Sonic Highway stuff. It's just clips, but a super cool series. I haven't seen the 8 episodes yet, I'll check it out!

Thank you!

Saying this is the worst game ever made is absurd hyperbole.

Saying the gameplay is vastly improved in '22 is also hyperbole, though not as absurd.

Saying hyperbole is absurd.

Oh did he text a word you don’t understand. Solution: Let’s reverse the sentence so I look smart!!!

Rest of the community: You’re not smart and by posting this silliness just cements the rest of the communities opinion that you’re an intellectually challenged clown.

Rest:

This extremely versatile word can be used in countless contexts.
"Mom, I need to rest before cleaning my room"
"Is that a chin rest on my Violin?"
"The Rest of us prefer forums in which children don't fight".

However, my favorite use of the word is a musical one. While playing notes is important, the value of a rest is greatly underappreciated. Imagine a vocalist trying to breath without a written rest in the music? Or listening to a piano player ramble on endlessly, not utilizing the ever important rest.

Rests come in many values. The most common being the Quarter rest, which is worth 1 beat. A half rest on the other hand is worth 2 beats. The dotted half rest is worth 3 beats. A whole rest, gets the whooooole measure, and is worth 4 beats.

While the half rest and whole rest look very similar, their values are drastically different, so it's important to learn how to identify the difference quickly, otherwise you might be in for a BIG surprise!

A half rest looks like a hat. A whole rest looks like an upside down hat. I remember it best with this catchy saying.

"A half a man leaves his hat on, but a whole man takes his hat off". Works like a charm. Memorize that quick little saying, and you'll never again struggle with identifying the difference.

Other rests include:
8th rest: 1/2 beat
16th rest: 1/4 beat
32nd rest: 1/8 beat
64th rest: 1/16 beat

All of these values can also have a dot on them, but fret (guitar joke! I love puns!) not, remember our simple rule for dots and you'll always be A OKAY!

The dot adds half of the value of the note or rest it is attached to.

Example: A dotted half rest is worth 3 counts. A half rest is worth 2, Add half of two for the dot (1). 2+1=3!

Jesus, when you take this much effort to post in a video game forum to be witty, it's time to get off the forum.

If you think that took effort......

The people that are using that much effort to repeatedly bash the game are the ones that need to get off the forum. They spend hours posting the exact same thing verbatim. They spend HOURS with the same gripe, and they've been doing it for years.

What I typed took me less than a minute good sir.

My ex wife had a Splinker, weirdest experience of my life.

Thank you for posting these daily over the past several years.

1st: it’s clearly helped your situation, this in no way is a complete waste of your time.

2nd: Because you’re the only one having this issue, it reminds the rest of us to be grateful for what we have.

You are a saint!

@chuckclc_psn said in Trout:

Just QS him. You get 10k this year for him tax free! Got to pay taxes if you sell him on the market and no one likes to do that.

ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY!!!!!!! This Card should NEVER be Quick sold. Currently his Sell Now price is 380,500. Even that being taxed, you are left over with 342,450 in stubs which is 34x more than the 10K from Quick Sell. What's even better is if you list him in Buy Now & wait for him to be bought by someone. Currently his Buy Now is 396,498, after tax you will have 356,849 which is 35x more than the 10K Quick Sell

That's too much money to Uncle Sam. QS

So you would rather cheat yourself out of 350k just to avoid paying a tax & settling for 10K only????? Then I wish you good luck with that. However NO ONE in here should listen to this guy's advice to Quick Sell Trout or any other Card that you will lose the chance of making more stubs.

Stubs are needed to buy Cards you do NOT have & is too hard for you to get from packs or rewards. So making as many stubs you can is needed. However this guy feels not paying taxes is more important to him then maximizing the amount of stubs he can make.

I quick sell all my cards, except for common and bronzes. I think YOU are confused.

@tear4eddy_psn said in The Best Sports Game Ever Made:

With this forum typically biased toward the negative, I wanted to state the case for why this is the best sports game ever made:

1. Gameplay is overall amazing. Player animations, graphics, stadium detail, virtually everything is great. Just think about how accurate nearly all of the swings, stances, and pitching motions are. It’s incredible. And despite what all the entitled brats have to say, skill is constantly rewarded over time. It’s baseball, sometimes crushed balls aren’t hits and bloopers fall. But the cream always rises, which is obvious since no matter what I do, the few times each year I hit the 800’s I immediately lose to better players and get out in my place.

2. So many cards. Beyond the love series, are there like 300-400 cards that have all been usable in RS at some point? And more drop all the time. Would I like Mark Grace, Bonds, A-Rod, Nomar, Aramis Ramirez, etc? For sure, but I prefer to focus on what we do get.

3. Just stop and think how cool it is that I can fire up the PS5 and within minutes be playing another guy 2 time zones away, each with teams we’ve thoughtfully created consisting of players from over 10 different decades, and even the future. And then you get ranked based on how good you are. As someone who has played sports his whole life, what a treat it is to compete like that. And if you have even decent internet speed, it all happens consistently smooth with lag being really rare.

4. You can build a legit team without spending money and if you “grind” wisely, it’s not much of a burden. I’m sure Conquest, Mini, and Showdowns aren’t for everyone and I’d much rather play RS, but I still have fun with the “grind” when I just want to puff and crank out some stuff. I like 2K and Madden as well, but their versions of “DD” are awful, hard to navigate, clumsy, and seemingly require 100’s of dollars to be spent to compete at all. And their “grinds” are truly that, just joyless gaming.

5. The flaws that do exist are minor. Yeah, I’ve had some perfectly timed pitches seemingly finish outside the grey circle but it’s the exception not the rule. Yeah, Boog says things that are out of place and often straight up incorrect. But I can only imagine the complexity of adding a new announcer (the new voice has been a blessing by the way, just needed something fresh) and I’m sure by next year he’ll start properly calling foul balls. And yeah, I’ve had some fielding animations really screw me here and there, but it’s relatively rare. Should there be a DH? Probably, but that rule was implemented much too close to release for SDS to react, plus I’m not sure the experience will be “better” with a DH in RS (although I assume it’s coming next year).

And there’s lots of other little things (parallel system, co-op, etc) that contribute to this being the best sports game ever made in my opinion and I find life is better when you focus on what you have, rather than what you don’t.

This game is great year one, I agree! But by year four, when nothing has changed, players quit. Hence the reason they added Xbox last year and made the game free, and they added switch this year.

Three years ago, this forum was the most active place to discuss this game.

Now the forum is a place for new players to celebrate the fact that they finally played a game that’s been out for over a decade.

Outside of content creators that depend on this game for income, veteran players of this game have moved on to other things (again, the reason this is no longer a Sony exclusive).

Enjoy the ride, in a couple years you’ll be done too.

@go4stros25_psn said in Please somebody defend this BS!:

How is this happening in every game online! What am I missing? Is it contact swings? Timing interface. I'm not exaggerating it's everygame. Stuff like this and sinkers 6 inches inside being blooped to the opposite field. You aren't punished for swinging at junk pitches at all this year

Please tell me I'm not crazy guys. Look where this pitch ends up and tell me why he gets rewarded for this ugly swing

Tyler O'Neill just had a hit like that about 6 minutes ago, then Arenado hit a HR off a breaking ball in the dirt. RNG, am I right?

@real-dono_xbl said in GIVE US AN UPDATE FOR PATCH 4:

@Victor_SDS_PSN

While Victor is a name, it can also be used in other contexts.

"To the victor, the spoils"

"The Spoils of Victory"

But do you know the origin of the word? It comes from Latin, meaning "Champion"

Translation to other languages:

Spanish: "Victor"
Portuguese: "Vencendor"
French: "Victor"
Italian: Vincitore
Swahili: "mshindi"
Afrikaans: "Oorwinnaar"

Interesting side note: While my wife and I were shopping at the grocery store last week, a couple gentlemen came in speaking a language we had never heard before! Mind you, my wife is Brazilian and speaks all of the Latin languages fluently. So I said "kind gentlemen, what is that language you are speaking?"

"Afrikaans" the man said "We are South African! we are here doing work on the new Wind farm being built south west of town".

It was a pleasant conversation, and as always, support your migrant workers. They are helping build a better country for us all!
