I love the new conquest map! It was set up differently, and that was fun

@zfree1122_psn said in For Colin: showdown Loss after winning 2 time today:

I got a response to one feedback message after sending an angry message that we had heard nothing.

He told me my problem had been forwarded to devs and they were working on it.

Tl;dr game is kinda broken, they're fixing what they can as soon as they can, they'll eventually compensate us but for now here's "double" xp.

Why offer double XP when that's going to encourage more people to overload the otherwise flimsy servers?

same! I'm scarred from showdown till I get my vouchers

When you get the server error, do not log out of the game. Keep trying to get back into DD no matter how long it takes. Most of the time it will pick up where you left off. If you leave the game, it is lost for good. This is no guarantee btw. Just has worked for me in relatively little testing.

smart!

Server boss is tough.

Server boss is running on hall of fame right now.

Seriously San Diego studios, I did a team affinity showdown, and finally walked it off with two outs left and after I exited it, I was confronted with the ever so common server timeout error.

As no one here will be surprised, when I went in to collect my vouchers, I was told that it counted my showdown run as failed, and all that time wasted.

This is ridiculous.

I love switch hitters, for this reason.

Where did my runners go? I like to use the auto settings, and then be a little more aggressive with them.

Please revert this fix. You fixed something that wasn't broken again.

@FranklinSabers16 said in This game is legitimately terrible:

The hitting was literally perfect pre patch, no idea why they adjusted that instead of pitch location and pci size. Now it’s a dice roll on how you’re gonna hit a ball. Only issue pre patch was throwing meter and pitch location, but they added so many more things to the point where the game is unplayable now, it was SOOOO fun pre patch. I’m glad Sony Partners and others like Your Friend Kyle are calling for the change to be made to revert hitting and fix pitching

THIS

that was all pre-patch

pre patch hitting felt so good. I hate getting the good/ok on solid swings. It doesn't have to be a HR, just give me a nice line drive somewhere.

It's mind numbing why the devs would do that.

Call my credit card company for me too!

10 ply

Seriously, nothing is hit hard now, unless I get a perfect perfect. good good and below feel like they've been hit with a pool noodle.

Maybe be able to chose a difficulty, which would change the rewards based on the difficulty selected?

Maybe just change some of those Perfect^2 HR's to doubles off the wall?

@lumber_dan said in SDS Dev "Brian SCEA" comments on hitting:

"Compared to MLB, users in our game are choosing to throw too many strikes to power hitters. It's fine to throw strikes to most of the lineup, but in MLB pitchers pitch differently when a power guy walks up. Most of our users don't do that."

the issue is that most good DD teams have 7-8 high power hitters. You can't pitch around 8 batters.

It sounds like they made a system that guaranteed a hr for any perfect flyball from an 80+pwr player, then when everyone only used 80+pwr players, they were surprised and nerfed hitting altogether.

Which is what everyone does every year. I do like the new perfect perfect system over MLB '19
