No need for all caps.
Collin. The community has been asking so gameplay fixes for a while now. Can we get some answers on what the foreseeable future is looking like? Are you guys working on a patch? Is this it for this years game?
I have been trying to stay positive but theres only so much one can take. No aspect of this game works:
-Outfielders not locking in and forgetting how to pick the ball from the ground
-When pitching hitting perfect metter more often than not pitches end up being way off from intended target
-Hitting is not consistent at all. I get rewarded on my poor input more than my crappy ones. And the center of the pci good/okay contact is ridiculous.
And now this. I iust have no words for this. Take a look at the timing and contact result when i put the ball in play. Then take a look at it again when it goes foul:
If the game isnt going to be patched anymore this year and this is how SDS intends its game to play then they should tell us what the deal is. What constitutes a good/ok? Is it timing? Pci placement? Or just total randomness?
How is a ball barely touching the pci hit for a homerun? And how is a ball completely inside the pci hit with less exit velo than the pitch thrown?
Im just trying to make sense of all this.
Anyone else having a hard time catching up to his fastball in this years dumpster fire called mlbts 20?
@Rambo_11k said in SDS Must Watch. please fix your game:
I’m sure someone on here will be here soon to tell you how that was your fault and the game is playing great for them.
LOL there will always be those
This is the reason why its so dreadful playing ranked seasons this year. Went from making world series consistently on all past years game to barely playing online
Here is chipper frozen during a run down:
Here is Reggie Jackson taking his sweet [censored] time getting back up and throwing the ball while the runner is scoring:
And here is how somehow the guy i sent home returns back to 3rd without me asking him to return right before he scores:
@soreal35 said in MLB the RNG 20:
The RNG is a way to balance out the the different methods of hitting input and to keep stats somewhat realistic.
I don’t understand why they care if stats are realistic in DD. We are already playing with unrealistic lineups.
Its all about the money my friend. I tried giving mlb the rng ranked seasons another try today and im greatly regretting it as i broke my controller out of frustration. This is the only game that angers me this much.
Was pitching a complete gem with Oswalt. My opponent had pretty bad pitch recognition. Struck out 9 times by the 6th inning. All 3 of his runs came from home runs (not mad about this). I had about 8 center pci good/ok’s.
@MaxHarvest said in Open Friendly Discussion:
Perfect perfect flyball, guy has over 100 power , warning track caught . Pci not on ball, late - no doubter. This stuff is frustrating, also the good squared up 95 mph lazy fly balls and grounders.
I have found a lot more enjoyment since I stopped caring about making WS or my record. I just look for a good competitive game where it’s close and I’m evenly matched. Once I stopped caring about my record and making ws ive had a lot more fun, I still get to 800’s every season and I’ll likely make ws but I’ll have a lot more fun doing it. If I’m out marches and guy crushes everything and I’m down 12-3 in the 4th I’ll just quit. But 98% of the time it’s a fun game back and forth, the key is to not get too emotionally invested in an outcome, weather that’s input being rewarded properly , the dub, or the next division
Yeah. I mean I dont expect every perfect input to be a hit or a dot of a pitch. I do agree that bad input is rewarded a whole lot and thats where the frustration stems from

I just sit on it let them beat u with offspeed
Even when I sit on it and swing as soon as he releases it I wont catch up to it.
Wow this is a new one. The one I have been experiencing as well is I hit a pitch with good timing but goes foul. Feedback initially says Good/Good but then switches to late/good.
Its happened to me multiple times playing online as well as playing showdown and conquest. I really think they throw some coding to give the lesser skilled player an edge.
@beanball0571 said in What in the actual F:
The players who defend are one of two people. One they play strictly offline, or two they are so horrible they cried until sds made it a game they could compete in . I love the content but the game play is horrible. A pitcher shouldn’t miss his spot multiple times every at bat. A good okay shouldn’t be a homerun when a perfect perfect or a good squared is an out with players over the 80 threshold
I dont understand how we go from a solid game defense wise in 2019 to this crapshoot. I think the only changes they shouldve made from 19 was to reduce the amount of good/ok and to make pitching input actually matter.
@Red_Ted_is_back said in What in the actual F:
Looking at the 3rd one (guy returning to 3rd). It does appear to be an issue with stick base running as you clearly never targeted that runner to return him to 3rd. I don’t use sticks so I don’t know whether I’m right there, but I reckon that’s a bug*.
I use classic (buttons, avoiding triggers at all costs) and never have base running issues, as I’m sure my fellow classic users would concur. I’m not blowing my own trumpet or saying that what happened there in your clip is acceptable, but if you want base running to be something that is no longer a cause of frustration, my advice is to switch to classic and use buttons and d-pad to control your runners. You won’t regret it (until it somehow gets messed up in a future version).
If you do, remember not to rely on L1/R1 (advance all) as you’ll end up with worse problems. You’ve been warned
*Edit: bug that caused the player to return to 3rd when returning the player to 1st.
Ill have to look into switching to classic baserunning
Hope everyone is enjoying memorial day and remembering those who sacrificed their lives for this country.
Wanted to have an open discussion on how to enjoy this game because I just came across a post that suggested the best way to enjoy this game is to not care so much about the outcomes.
It troubles me when I see people say “well you shouldnt take this game seriously”. “If you dont worry so much about the BS you’ll have a better time”
Whenever I play a video game I get a sense of accomplishment when I give it good input and get rewarded for it. I mean isnt this why we play a game? To give it good input and get rewarded for if?
So I guess im just confused at how im supposed to enjoy the game if i just play a mindlessly and very random game.
What are your thoughts?
Btw im not attacking anyone who says they enjoy the gameplay or just dont care about it.
@halfbutt said in Open Friendly Discussion:
I just don’t understand the point of having “perfect” inputs if they don’t mean anything. When I get a perfect release and my pitch still misses its spot, it just makes me scratch my head.
Have you ever had confidence level on change ups all the way full and throw a change up bellow the zone with perfect input and ends up about 2 zone squares about the target? Yeah thats frustrating.
I have no idea why I keep doing this to myself. This is right up there with mlb the show 18. In the clip that I’m about to show you I’m cruising through 8 innings with Roy Oswalt. I struck my opponent 9 times up to this point. Oswalt’s confidence was maxed out. These are the hits that my opponent apparently deserved. Weak grounder with Mondesi that apparently chipper didn’t know how to field. Then a very late double down the line with Gary Sanchez. Followed by a 2 run bomb that tied the game.
