Has anyone else noticed that the exit velocity is low? I am playing on rookie mode against the computer to grind stats for team affinity and I have to power swing to have a decent exit velocity. Otherwise the result is a weak fly out or ground out. Hitting feels different compared to years past. I never used power swing and now I feel I have to in order to have an extra base hit.

It seems that with the new ambush hitting you can get better output results, but I'd rather not be forced to use in order to have solid contact.

Is it just me or is timing way off on hitting. I'm late on most pitches and very late against fastballs. And I'm playing the moments on veteran difficulty. The ball isn't carrying that much and I'm not making solid contact. I was playing the show 24 last week and didn't have any of these issues.

Well I can't play online at all if my catchers cant receive or block

Are people on PS4 having the same problems as the PS5 people? I am playing on a PS5 and can't play the game.
The issues I am dealing with are:

• Conquest wins don't count
• Mini season wins don't count
• My catchers can't receive or block the baseball in any online mode. They act like they are out of position
• Every online game I play for the most part freezes

Is it because I'm playing on a PS5? Maybe I should get my old PS4 out of the closet and play the game on that until SDS fixes the game.

I submitted a ticket to SDS and haven't heard back

Well my catchers aren't receiving pitches or blocking balls in dirt. So I can't play the event, BR, or ranked seasons. And I can't play conquest because my wins against strongholds aren't counting. The update this morning did nothing.

My wins against the strongholds aren't even registering/counting so I can't play conquest. I can't play the event either because my catchers can't block or receive pitches. They are acting like they are out of position. So therefore, this game is literally unplayable right now.

Aren’t the goals optional for the Conquest map to get the XP?

No

@oreorockstar_psn said in Conquest not counting?:

If you close out of game and sign back in, it should register. Stupid you have to do this , but SDS can’t seem to figure things out.

Tried that. Still not counting. 4 games. 4 wins. No progress.

I’ve played and beat the Mariner’s stronghold 3 times so far in the most recent conquest and each time it didn’t register that I won. After each time it didn’t count, I would close the app and restart my PS5 and then play again and win and it still wasn’t counting. This game is so broken right now. Its like they will patch one bug and then 20 more happen because of that patch.

Not sure why I haven't been getting them. it could be that I linked my twitch account and playstation account back when I was using a ps4 but now that I am using a ps5, idk.

When do the twitch packs from that stream go into our inventory. I have everything linked and I claimed both packs on twitch.

Has anyone else been having problems with 96 Joe Mauer or any other catcher not being able to block the ball or receive pitches. Pretty much every breaking ball goes right by him and fastballs he drops. It's like he's out of position at catcher. I only started noticing this last night.

With the addition of the extra innings rule in 2020, a runner is put on second base to start the inning in extras. Is the game still perfect at this point or is the perfect game over since a runner reached base but by no fault of the pitcher. What do you all think?

has anyone else been getting this error code when trying to upload a created stadium to the vault? If so, how do I fix the problem? thanks

@dap1234567890 said in Stadium Creator - How do I change background and ground type?:

press R1

that only pulls up properties to change the name, city, location, altitude, year built and seating color. nothing else

It seems the backdrop is a field and the ground is just grass. Last year we could change it to like a city and coastal. Anyone know how to change/edit this in stadium creator?

Trying to complete Cleveland's live series collection but the Bryan Lavastida card is unavailable to purchase or put buy orders in for. When I click on his card, it says 'unknown item." Has anyone else seen this problem?

I have pulled like 50 live sereis diamonds total this year but only 1 came from a BIAH pack
