That fact that you get to use the best of the best over the last 50+ years kind of throws a wrench in the whole wanting a true sim experience kind of thing.

And tldr but after a brief glance I didn't really see any valid ways to "fix" the game. You don't like zone hitting and you get mad about how useless directional is. So what's your solution? You dont want the part that takes skill and you don't want the part where you simply press x to swing.

I love how you "develop games" or used to play real baseball so you should automatically translate that to being great at the game and if your not then it's all the games fault. Is this game perfect? Heck no! Do I complain as well sure. But I swallow my pride pick myself up, dust off, and try again.

First off: its not my duty to dedicate myself to think of a solution for the implementation mess they did here (familiar with the word implementation, "developer"?)

Second off, its a FACT that they are not representing the real experience to the point of MOCKERY. Honestly if I was a professional pitcher represented in this game, I would sue them for damaging the reputation of my skills and performance as a ball player.

Third off, it's not that I want to win and if not the game is broken. there has been occasions when I won, and honestly I thought what a load the engine decision to give me a hit on such a terrible pitch, or not give out a homer to the other guy over some great contact.

Whats the point of trying again if its just broken, broken broken and guess what broken! over sixty dollars, at least I enjoy watching the fielders throw around and such, but Honestly if I could get my money back. please moderators contact me so I can get a refund, and you can ban my account and console from installing the game again.

You keep referring to yourself as a developer and basically weaponizing that claim against anyone who dares disagree with you. What games have you developed? Are they successful? Do they have anything to do with a complex baseball game? You seem very keen on letting everyone in the thread know this purported fact about you, so I was hoping you would provide some elaboration or credentials.

I also can’t get into the packs menu. I get the same error message.

In DD I can’t hit triangle to view player attributes. It just brings up a bugged screen with 0 on all attributes and says that an unhandled server exception occurred. Restarted the game multiple times but nothing changed. Anyone else having the same problem?

@loshbomb Thats the point I'm trying to make. Something needs to be fixed so that hitting is the meta rather than bunt-->steal, bunt-->steal, bunt-->steal. Bunting and stealing are 100% good baseball but you don't see MLB teams just bunting and stealing through a full game

Yeah its definitely better than it was at the beginning of the year but these past few events have been bunt paradises

I would like to start by clarifying that bunting is smart baseball. I have no problem with a situational bunt to beat the shift or a sac bunt to advance a runner. That's just good baseball. But when bunting is so effective that laying down a bunt with two outs in extra innings is more viable than actually trying to hit the ball, it's a problem. I think bunting should require the use of the PCI, so those with skill are rewarded and bunt cheesers have to actually try. Or, at the very least, lower the timing window and the chance of a successful bunt.

The collection drops on the 28th and the first hint was "The Chase For..." which could refer to the Chase for 28. Only one team is chasing 28 right now, which is the Yankees. This leads me to believe its a Yankee. Mantle's clearly been taken, which could lead you to Ruth or Gehrig, who are already in the game, or maybe Maris, who hasn't been revealed. None of them are great fielders or runners, which means they could be easily replaced. A five-tool player makes the most sense. DiMaggio fits this bill perfectly, and Jeter less so but still plausible. The late clue was "BIG". Many have interpreted this as referring to size and I agree. Who is a big Yankees player who can do a little bit of everything? 2017 Rookie of the Year, Silver Slugger, Big Aaron Judge
