@lazytoast 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 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

@the_dragon1912 said in Foul balls got worse somehow..:

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.

@kwikpoppa_psn said in Online play is a travesty:

Go into online games with a pure fictional attitude. It only resembles baseball in the sense that one guy has a bat and the other guy is throwing a ball at him.

This is honestly the best way to look at it

Not good

If Joe Randa was in the game he would win this category lol

Yeah, it’s great to have to go into each individual pack, either remember every player or write their names down and put them into your lineup. Very user friendly.

He’s my SS, played a bunch of games with him and I can firmly say that he is meh.

I pull him every year, sometimes earlier than other years. This year he came early (that’s what she said)

@schwizzle_nizzle said in Feels like the game decides if I'll or lose:

I love when I beat a CPU 20-0 in a conquest game and the next game is 1-0 in 5 innings because everything it a line out where the fielders don't even have ti move when I hit the ball and I'll win on a non PCI HR.

Man, this sums up the game perfectly lol

@crimson_monk_psn said in Pitch speeds are alllll over the map:

it is a game to game issue for sure. Im in Florida, yet still have this issue. One game 100 is hittable, the next game 93 is impossible to hit. Lately I've still been getting poor results on anything unless its PP

It honestly makes me not wanna play the game, which sucks.

I just wish it was consistent gameplay, I’d take consistency over it actually being a good game as weird as that may sound.
