I wasted my time reading both comments. Give me an L as well.

I wish people would stop letting corporations hide behind covid. They still released a broken product a month late and for full price. They knew there would be more people than ever playing and they didn't stress test their servers. So for the first 3 weeks you just couldn't play. They have read the comments for months about contact swings and ppp. They allowed and still allow so many people to exploit and cheat the game with no consequence. I'm sorry, but a gameplay patch 2 months into an already shortened game cycle doesn't warrant me praising them. I enjoy the game and I'm glad they patched what they did. But I don't understand why we as gamers allow these companies to sell us copy and pasted broken garbage and then when they finally fix it we are supposed to bow down. Call me crazy but I feel like these million dollar companies should be able to sell us a working product on day one or they shouldn't be selling them at all.

I find a little humor a Stros fan would complain about people cheating the game.
@huntydad2021_psn said in Server Stability 4/21/21:
Thank you. As a light user compared to many, I have lost progress in several missions and such. I hope that you will decide to provide some good packs as an apology. Not everyone who supports this game is a "gamer" who plays hours and hours, so for us, to lose the time for a showdown and several other missions, makes it more difficult to complete programs. Thank you for your consideration of such an offering.
They've given out packs/stubs in previous years for the same issue. I'm sure they'll be doing it again since this is the worst it's ever been.

Perhaps 1 game is too small of a sample size.
Nah. 1 game is not small with those stats. RNG is boosted to the lower ranked team. How can I beat someone ranked 150 points higher than me then lose to someone 75 points lower than me? Both games were comeback wins in the 9th.
SDS, screw hitting. Please fix pitching (accuracy) and guys with no bunting skills laying down perfect bunts every time.
Riddle me this SDS. Guy with 35 bunt rating lays them down perfectly, but a pitcher with 85 control & bb/9 misses the target 70% of the time.
I tried that. Didn’t have anything to complain about. Turned it back on. Started complaining again.

Of course 1 game is too small of a sample size. The point is that the more games you play with those stats, the more likely you're going to come on top.

That shouldn’t be the case. If he out smashes the guy 3-1, he should win. If the guy strikes out 20 times, he’s not a good hitter and shouldn’t be rewarded. RNG knew it and adjusted accordingly to help the guy who couldn’t touch the ball 75% of the time.

People were kidding about this yesterday and it’s real tomorrow. What’s the deal SDS? Another Brave? Why?
Finally showing some love for the best team in the 90’s.
It's not as fun this year. It's such a crapshoot on who will get screwed in each game. I'm hitting homers with balls outside the PCI and the other guy boots routine grounds in the bottom of the 9th to lose. Ever since I changed to analog pitching, it hasn't been as bad. Hitting is just a mess. Law of physics does not apply to this year's game.

Air Yordán!! Nice 3-run homer! #ForTheH
BANG (from the distance)
They use to post them in the comment section on twitter last year. I wonder why they stopped it this year.
@oachs83_psn said in Another scumbag trick I just encountered:
I’m sure this isn’t new but it’s new to me. Playing an event game and my last opponent pulls this scummy move. I pinch hit for my pitcher with Ortiz, he brings in lefty Britton and immediately pitches, like way fast as I was trying to hit start to bring in a righty bat. So I spam down to call time and hit up to try to change batter again. Nope as he was spamming up as well and got the timeout before me. So he must start spamming his next pitch because the split second he came out of time his pitcher immediately already had a pitch selected. Like just wow to be that scared to not allow a batter change. Silver lining I got a hit anyway. You sir win the pathetic award of the day! With that and your high sinkers during a meaningless 3 inning event game shows me you obviously are a hoot at the dinner table. I thank you!

@matt_42187_psn said in What does the PCI really represent?: @saintskde_xbl said in What does the PCI really represent?: I know the PCI is supposed to represent the barrel of the bat as the main objective is to hit the ball in the sweet spot. SDS has said the result is based on the location: High=Pop up, middle= line drive, and low = ground but lately, the PCI is kinda inconsistent, People including myself have hit homers off the PCI or just off the edge of it as well fly out when the timing is good and PCI placement is in the middle but it's not just online but on single-player like conquest and moments. I don't see this as a problem but a flaw in the game like the shooting meter in 2K my theory is the inner pci is the sweet spot and the outer circle is the actually barrel of the bat. It would kinda make sense on homers on the edge of the inner pci. Then what’s up with the good squared pop ups?

Pop up to the outfield or infield? I have yet to see a ball clearly in the pci go for a popup in the infield. For me, it's always been on the edge of the pci. Feedback isn't always 100% anyways.

It is a miserable experience. I don't know what genius in the SDS company thought this was a good idea. I might as well lay the ball on a [censored] tee to these people.
I'm curious which part of the states you live in. midwest?
Nelson Cruz better play in the HRD. He's the only one who can hit it out of the park.
@king_dome30_psn said in This is pure garbage.:
Bro the game sucks anyway. It’s going to get worse next year. Not buying . Looking foreword to Wolverine, Spidey and Knights of the Old Republic
Those games sound boring. I think I would have played those when I was like 12. My apologies in advance if you are close to that age.
get better internet...
High heat baseball in early 2000's was it for me. I didn't care about the gameplay, but the simulation and franchise mode was king to me.
is it me or does the hitter's vision numbers seem lower this year? I haven't really checked out all the cards yet, but a lot of the good ones seem to be under 100. I assume it might be to compensate the lower h/9 for the lifetime greats? who knows though.
