Great question!
Starters have to have 5 pitches for me, and 4 for relievers.

I agree. There are certain "Moments" pitchers that drive me nuts-- Stroman, and Manea (sic) are the two that are particularly annoying.
They throw 3 pitches nowhere close, then paint the corners.
But the moments wouldn't be too fun if they just grooved cookies

@tekkendolphin_psn said in Online mode is just not fun.:

Call it a rant but this mode needs an overhaul. What I think it needs is a way to help out hitters. Maybe guess pitch option should be a thing? It is just too easy to pitch good and too hard to hit. Every game is just a complete guessing game grind fest that ends in bitterness when one player gets lucky enough to eke out a couple of garbage slap-hit seeing-eye hits or somehow hits a towering home run off a pitch nowhere near the zone. It comes down to whoever is luckier. Competitiveness is fine but we aren't pro baseball players and it is just too much of a grind. It's just not fun by its very design. And therefore ends up being a huge waste of time.

Also, to make things worse, why do I lose 8 straight yet have the same rating and still get mismatched over and over? I mean, come on.

Am I alone here? Or missing something that can actually make this anything other than an infuriating experience?

Totally agree, and I'm coming off a good season (13-4).
When a video game starts causing you more stress than the real world, it's time to pull back.
I'm gonna take a week or so off.

Bro, if you could do this for me, I would pay you.
And if you added "Scranton" instead of "The", I would build several churches in your honor.
