It baffles my mind that they can’t at least nerf this pitch a tad…at least make it flatten out if you throw it high in the zone. So OP it’s really annoying.

Or you can learn to hit the pitch!!! Lol

Totally missed the point lol

Nope didn’t miss the point, your just making a complaint that is made every year about the “OP” sinker. They’re not going to fix it just like they didn’t fix it last year or the year before that or the year before that. Instead I would just concentrate on learning to hit the pitch. Btw, I used to be in your camp when it came to the sinker but I made a concerted effort to not allow myself to get beat with it. Now it’s go up there at your own risk. I’ll turn it around if you abuse it.

The point is, they’re trying to make this a realistic competitive sports game, gameplay wise anyway. There has never been a pitcher alive who was successful throwing high sinkers lol. It’s dumb.

How do you enjoy playing the game like that? I sincerely don’t understand. So please, if someone would step forward, admit they cheese at every aspect of the game and explain I would be forever grateful. The bunt cheese, baserunning cheese, pausing cheese, holding R2 cheese...I mean this game is annoying enough to play online, then you gotta get matched up with one of these losers.

Sometimes when I’m waiting for a pitch my eyes completely bug out and I miss the pitch. Does this happen to anyone else? I’m assuming it’s because I’m focusing too hard or something...

I heard them say specifically that they addressed the foul balls for online play this year. If anything, it’s gotten worse! It’s impossible to pitch online at the moment. Why is it possible to foul a pitch off that’s completely in the dirt or almost hitting the batter? This needs to be fixed.

@suntlacrimae50_psn said in HOF is on crack:

No, you will not. Most games I've played, from the 400's to the 800's, are K fests peppered with dingers from both players.

Plus many opponents don't pitch respectfully.

RS is garbage.

What is pitching respectfully?

It’s unplayable over 800 this year, I can’t believe it. Every pitcher has outlier…not even remotely fun to play ranked anymore. Kind of destroys the whole point of DD for me.

It’s a video game, if you don’t like him don’t use him. Let’s all get stronger as people, these things don’t have to crumble us to our cores. It’s a video game.

The game got exponentially worse after the last patch, it’s unbelievable. It’s completely impossible to pitch now.

The only small glitch is the fact that you have him already. Either you bought him for alot of stubs.... Which is not smart, but not my place to say, or you earned him through a glitch.. He was released like 30 hours ago. Either way, barely anyone has used him and the people that play regular and grind for XP don't wanna see posts about people asking about his swing already. Go watch YouTube to see what people think. Plenty of scummy content creators glitched their way to him already.

Huh?

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. I haven't spent a penny more on this game other than the game itself. I purchased him with stubs by selling Piazza and Judge + 7k stubs I already had at a purchase price of 89k stubs. After not having any success with him for a few games, I sold him back to the market at 106,850 stubs making a slight profit. With the stubs plus what I already had left over, I've replaced my catcher and RF with Rodriguez and Betts. Not that hard.

You go watch youtube. I didn't feel like watching one when I could just get a quick response from the Community.

Too bad you had to be such a grouch with your response that was unprovoked. Get some sleep and feel better.

Nobody said you spent real money on him. You're asking about a player most people aren't going to use thats been in the game for less than 48 hours. Not just MLBTS 21 but the game in general. And yea with all the glitches out, peoples first though when you ask about an inning boss 24 hours after its been released, you're gonna get people who think you glitched for him. Am I wrong? And I could truly care less what you do with you stubs or real money for that matter.

Take the L

@lazytoast_MLBTS said in Serious question…how do you pitch?:

Those guys who don’t swing at anything even a centimeter off the plate will always kick my [censored] period

Not only that, but all these pitchers have terrible control, the zone where the ball can go is absolutely tremendous, when I make good pitches they’re always either fouled off or rocketed for a HR. It can be out of the zone, it doesn’t matter. Super frustrating.

I’ve been playing this game online for years now, and I was always a good pitcher. Guys….how do you pitch against good players online this year? Lol it’s become near impossible.

@Nickc22_MLBTS said in Pack luck:

Is anyone else in here have about the worst luck in the world with packs!!! I’m not buying any but all the free packs I’ve gotten I’ve pulled 1 diamond out of atleast 100+ so far. I really hope SDS isn’t trying to be like other games and make you buy stubs to buy more packs. This is always the best online sports game I think and I would hate to have it all go downhill over greed.

Yeah, packs always suck but this year in particular is absolutely brutal for me.

It just seems like I can’t control any pitches except for the fastball

I use pinpoint, I never had a complaint about it before this year. It seems to be all over the map, did they make it harder to use this year?

Just starting playing these tonight, wow. I am absolutely loving these moments. Bravo SDS.

Yeah, I’ve been playing like every other day, I’m doing better mentally lol

I don't think its worse, you could have just had a bad stretch. I actually do think they probably improved it a little bit its just not enough to make a noticeable difference

Ive not noticed a difference.

Pretty sure I gave up two hits a foot and a half off the plate in the same game on terrible time swings.

I'm at the point where I think I'd be ok with SDS just hard coding any timing that is VERY early or VERY late is an auto miss. Not even a chance to make contact.

I agree with this, timing has to have more of an impact with making contact with the ball. Very early or late should not be making contact at this point.

Idk about anyone else but the foul balls are much, much worse for me now. Not only is it possible to foul off any pitch in any location online, but now offline on any difficulty I’m regularly having 10-12 pitch at bats by the computer. Why? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!!

That’s crazy, it feels like I’m regularly pulling very low end diamonds honestly. I pull Freeman like every other day lol.
