Soon everything will be censored and offensive. Give it a few years and you wont be able to use anything but preset generic names.

Wtf is tap tap?

Yea I couldn't get on at all at 9pm cst last night. Usually I can at least play. Servers seem to be getting worse not better.

I played a few games last night as well and it showed xp after the game, but when I check my programs it made no progress. I should have gained the 6 innings pitched one as I played SP for exactly 6 innings and we won in RTTS.

I have ran into times the player refused to throw to the base I tell him to it is very annoying.

If youre getting a whole 1 second early then you are doing somerhing way wrong. Im playing on Hall of Fame and average around 0.10 - 0.15. Wait until the outer circle completely closes on the inner. It also helps to have a windup that suits you, it took me a little bit to find a windup where i had good feel for the release. Once you give up a hit in an inning it also speeds up the whole process to make it harder, simulating in game pressure.

Never a full second early but if i try to wait i usally overcompsate and get a full second or more on late. I think my issue is last year i was pure analog and i pitched as fast as i could not even given my guy to get set.( i know it was kinda cheesy but i just tried to get thru games as fast as i could to play more games to do challenges)

I feel that, personally i very much enjoy realism so i always let my pitcher get set. Weird question though, are you playing on a tv over 50 inches? Because the larger the screen the slower the input reaction. So for me im playing on a 26 inch monitor and the input is perfect it feels amazing. But if i go downstairs and play on my 70 inch tv it instanly makes playing any games really, much harder. Id have to compensate for input lag and such.

Depends on the TV. My 65" gets around 5-7ms input lag at 4k hdr which is as good as any small pc monitor.

Never bash on the forums it gets vengeful.

@the_dragon1912 said in UPDATE THE MUSIC!!!:

This is the best soundtrack since MLB 16 by a long shot so your chances of it improving from here are slim

That's just sad if true. I only like 3 of the songs alright. Of course my opinion probably doesn't matter since I don't listen to much past 2006 as music took a nose dive off a cliff the last 10 years or so.

@gravesoulkeeper_xbl said in Can't Create a Catcher:

in majors they don't use left handed catchers do to most batters are right handed and would make it hard to throw out any runner trying to steal 3rd since batter would be in the way more then right handed catcher

Lame reason. I did fine throwing people out. I just took a step back threw behind the batter. Majors is a different story though I'm sure.

@rosco-suupa_psn said in So, what needs to be FIXED to start a FRANCHISE?:

So, apparently if you get to the world series in Franchise Mode, you can't play it. You have to sim it.

Has anyone else come across this? Is it both systems?

People are saying this was fixed with the patch today. I haven't had time to play tonight to try it.

I noticed this last night made me strike out. I'm on ps5.

I agree with needing night games and having user created stadiums be searchable and categorized. Otherwise I think it's a good mode and is better than I expected honestly. Those other modifications will probably be added in the following games over the next couple of years as they improve the creator.

I like strike zone high.

@humptyhump15_psn said in Delayed Hitting:

I think I figured out that it was the TV I was using. I moved to a smaller TV and the problem got A LOT better. Also does anyone have any tips on how to stop the lag on a bigger tv?

Game mode helps but online video games aren't really built to be played on big TVs these days

Lol what? You can only buy bigger and bigger tvs that would make no sense. Most games are awesome on a big tv from my experience. No issue with this game either on my 65". You just have to have a good one with low input lag. I turn game mode on and have a samsung q80. It works great. Owning a console would be pointless if your statement was true. Why would you not just get a PC to game on a monitor.

No point in the stadium creator if you cant use your creation!

Just FYI -- The "Throwback" 1989 Cleveland Indians uniforms -- which are famous because of the "Major League" movie franchise -- are not accurate in the game.

I get that SDS would never use the real logo that appeared on that uniforms hat -- Its a dang logo but it might offend someone. God forbid. (Or it may be banned from official use by the MLB for all i know)

BUT THEN DONT INCLUDE THE UNIFORM.

Rewriting history by CHANGING the uniform and including a version that NEVER EXISTED is is dishonest.

Either include the whole uniform as it existed or dont....but changing it and then using it to make money while never mentioning that its not really the 1989 uniform is dishonest..

If you cant use the logo because of MLB rules...just say so. If you did it because of your own sensibilities...have the guts to say that too.

Or just dont use a uniform that is not acceptable to current standards.

People deserve better than to be spoon fed, a sanitized, fake version of baseball.

IMHO

Natives deserve better than being a mascot. [censored] you, how about that?

Do you also protest Notre Dame Fighting Irish? Their logo is a cartoon caricature drawing of a funny looking short squatting irishman with two fists up...

I'm Irish and I'm not upset by it, you know why? It's a cartoon caricature.

You know who isn't upset about indian team names and logos? My wife who is native american. Why? Because it's a cartoon, and she's tried of people being offended on her behalf.

The fact is they did alter history, if they don't want it in the game then just don't put those uniforms in the game... That simple. But re-designing their old uniforms? That's messed up and next level historical revision.

Finding someone who has indigenous heritage who isn't offended doesn't mean she doesn't get to speak on behalf of all of them.

True, but I'd imagine most don't give a you know what. My dad is indian, and thus I have a lot of that in me as well and neither of us care either way.

@skoalface1823_xbl said in Not Receiving XP:

I'm taking this time to knock out all of the conquest stuff, so these are literally just the games within conquest. I'm not one for wasting my time, but at least doing it this way I'm able to parallel some players as well as get some XP. I would do Showdown, but I'd rather lose 15 minutes of a game than 40 minutes of a showdown.

Yea I'm sticking to DD conquests until RTTS and Franchise are patched.

Yea I like the pinpoint pitching a lot, and after playing a ton of games yesterday I was starting to get decent at it. However I have still yet to get it timed perfectly. Being .17 seconds off was the closest I have gotten so far, and it feels like its a little to strict on that as it still pulled the pitch a bit. There should be a slight window on that IMO. I mean your brain has to process the pitch and when to pull down on the stick and takes a fraction of a second anyways lol.

Ive had several instances where they do the "fake throw" but I didn't tap the button to 1st base I full on pushed it hard. Lost me 2 games so far bc of it

Use button accuracy will never have a throwing error or a fake throw mishap again

I have mine set to button accuracy and still have the issue with them not throwing to the base I tell them sometimes. Rarely, but it has happened a few times.
