I wasted my time reading both comments. Give me an L as well.
@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)
I'd 2nd this. I didn't know I could buy the guys on the market. Glad to know I don't have to grind for everything since I don't have the time to do it.
I don't think so, since the last 2 yrs were great. But do they go by the 3 yr avg. during the season?

Cronus Zen is a device you connect to your controller to help out with gameplay. It’s very popular with shooting games. Helps out with recoil. For the Show, I think there’s a MOD to help out with pitching. But I don’t know how well the programming is on it.

Yes it is a skill, the gesture also corresponds to the release to, you don't just gesture and the pitcher pitches. I respectfully disagree. Something needs to be tweaked. Shouldn’t be able to put it on the exact corner consistently.

Wait, so I shouldn’t be trying to hit corners and making pitcher’s pitches? How about SDS nerf power on contact swings? Power swing is useless and has been for years.
I don't think it will make that big of a difference. It's not really going to make you hit/pitch better. With pitching, you may hit the target more often, but the higher ranked players will still crush if you don't know how to change speeds and location.
I paid an extra $200 to get one off of offerup in December. I didn't feel like fighting against bots. I deal with enough of them in COD.

Yeah it took awhile, but they're finally getting there. To the people that complain about what they gave us, they could have given us nothing. I think it was madden 19 or 20 the servers were worse than mlb's were this year and they didn't give us anything. Not to mention 10 showdown TA vouchers free and a free 42 series player. SDS is better than any other sports game company hands down. Yes and no. Most of us wish this wasn’t the case. Get your stuff together before release. Video game company’s now of days are constantly putting out broken games and then patching them as they go. When did this become acceptable. And the show has been terrible with servers at launch for at least the past 3 releases. I get that madden and 2k are greedy blood sucking companies as well. But being better than them doesn’t take much. Clearly the show is better with compensation. I’ll take the free stuff obviously. If the servers stay consistent then that’s really all I want going forward.

The problem with companies putting out broken games at launch probably has to do with all the "new engines" and whatnot. I remember when Madden was simple, just press a button to pass to a certain receiver. Then the game changed in 2004 or somewhere around there. I don't think there will ever be a perfect launch. But at least companies have the ability to patch certain issues these days.
Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this...and totally redeem yourself!
@nash_524_psn said in PinPoint Pitching should be patched in my opinion:
@ikasnu_psn said in PinPoint Pitching should be patched in my opinion: I disagree. I'm learning it currently and when I get a perfect input, its pretty on point, but I have noticed when I miss I am getting some pretty bad balls. That being said, its the opposite of 20 where if you missed input you hung it for a straight cockshot. Pinpoint when I miss they're going out of the zone more often than not. Maybe that’s the issue? I played about 12 RS games yesterday and I didn’t throw a single pitch down the middle the entire day I think I get “perfect” releases about 80-85% of the time and the rare times I mess up it safely goes out of the strike zone for a ball. I can also tell when my opponent is using pinpoint as they throw every pitch on the black or just outside of the strike zone as well. (Asked what setting they used to confirm)

Why would we want 2020 gameplay back? If anything, hitting should be nerfed. How many people have complained about homers outside the PCI or those very late swings finding the hole. Pitching this year has been great. Hitting still has its minor flaws with the forgiveness.
