Isn't the Nintendo Switch for children? I'm surprised The Show was released for it, oh well...I guess you kids can get your parents to contact SDS to get this resolved. In the mean time you youngin's can go play Super Mega Baseball and RBI Baseball.
why you gotta be rude man? on some level we're all in this together
was up 10-6 going into the ninth and the magical teleporting pitch helped my opponent load the bases on walks and then hit a grand slam to tie it
had to just quit when it was 10-10, wasn't gonna abide by that anymore
this is so annoying
yep you need to pitch through 7 innings

playing my first online rated game after a couple months in DD...god this is so much more fun on all star than HoF ranked seasons
Preach!!! Now if only they had the wherewithal to make it a set difficulty
or at least be able to have a choice
i don't like being forced into playing HoF if i wanna do ranked seasons

i don't mind hitting with captain lindor and his clemente boost
@NCStateHokie_PSN said in magical teleporting pitch:
Has SDS addressed this at all this year?
it's one thing for games to be ruined because of a bad connection causing your hitting timing to be off...that can be adjusted for
it's another when every other pitch is either a meatball slider, bean ball, or wild pitch
there's nothing you can do but bear it or quit
this happens every game now...yes mostly at night
i am on a wired fiber connection

I pitched with MA Sonny Gray today and this happened 5 or 6 times. It almost cost me the game. It's a shame because I haven't noticed it in months before today.
it literally cost me the 11th game of a BR run
i was up 7-3 going into the third
8 walks later (a mix of HBP and 4 pitch walks) it was 7-11

i hover around a 650-700 in ranked and am relieved every time i lose and anxious every time i win
more wins means playing on HoF which i am god awful at
it's almost to the point where i am subconsciously throwing games so that i don't have to play on HoF
I used to be like that, but once you play enough games on HOF it becomes where HOF is where you want to play. I think it plays best at this difficulty. I was like a .200 hitter on HOF just over a year ago. It makes you so much of a better hitter when you play on All-star in BR and Events.
that's true, i just did a BR palette cleanser and got to 10 wins which has never happened before. was just raking.
think i should just power through on RS? tbh i know it sounds so vain but i just get embarrassed by my tanking batting average for my favorite players. was considering putting together a HoF only squad with guys i don't really care about lol
SDS are you kidding me with this??
how is this a thing

Have you ever seen or played the game called “Whack a mole” at an arcade? You’re standing there with this mallet and these pesky little creatures pop up from the machine and you gotta ‘whack’ them on the head before they poke their little heads back in. It starts out easy and then in a few moments you find yourself swinging at everything while they just continue to pop in and out, eluding your repeated blows until the game is over….but…what if there were five of your buddies standing there with you, each with their own mallet and each with their assigned hole? Wouldn’t be as hard would it? You would only be responsible for watching one opening and everytime it even thought about popping it’s derelict little head out….WHACK!!!
Oh there it is again…WHACK!!! See how much easier?
This is analogous to sitting on that forkball. You’re watching for one thing only and when it arrives you’re ready for it! Now, take this info and put it into practice. You’ve already stated that your current strategy isn’t panning out so what have ya got to lose? Ignore the other pitches completely…watch the ball out of the hand and set your timing to it. I promise it works
good post thanks 
man i am completely getting hosed on HoF difficulty in ranked seasons
it's fine against the computer in conquest with weaker pitching but this is absolutely not fun and i'm not sure i want to put as much time into all star being fun (years) as HoF
i have the kontrol freek but i'm considering getting precision rings as well
feel free to ignore this post, just ranting
@BxnnyMxn__PSN said in donaldson's forkball:
Ya gotta sit on it. Even if it means looking like a fool for a few at bats because if that’s the only thing you’re looking for it looks like a giant pumpkin floating in there and you also know to anticipate the drop also which is an enormous pci advantage for you because as soon as you recognize it you can just about predict the point in space at which this ball is going to cross the plate so just make sure you have your barrel there to meet this point of convergence.
You gotta ignore everything else out of his hand if you want to moida the old trident pitch(...made that up me'self)
great advice
i am helpless against it because i'm trying not to get beat by the fastball
this game, especially ranked seasons, can be so hard sometimes
ugh
i am absolutely hopeless against this thing
anybody else have consistent trouble with it?
strike zone high here
seems to be the happy medium between strike zone 1 and 2

You are missing that they were mis-named from the very beginning. They are actually Silver Duos.
har har lol

I think that is the point. Just another misnamed pack to give you an illusion of hope that you'll pull a decent card.
that seems pretty transparently misleading
