I'm 53 and I play pretty solidly. I have made it to Championship twice and beat several Showdowns. All I can say is you have to watch the release. If the ball comes out of the pitcher hand flat it's a fastball, you have more time than you think, even if the pitch speed is 102. Just takes practice. I play in a league on HOF, those balls get there quick! You got this! If you want to lab I will help you, send me a friend request

I ventured online. I have been pretty exclusively an offline DD player. But I need the online points for the 4th inning program. It was a JOKE. I smoked hanging curves only to have them be routine flyballs, the baserunning, suck, the fielding suck. This game is garbage. And that's being kind. Well, online it's garbage, offline it's fun. Do better!

I beat 2 straight today. And I'm old AF

I mean it's shocking. My jaw was on the floor most of the game

I buy 50 packs and get NOTHING. A buddy buys 10 and pulls 4 diamonds. FU all.

so stupid and they don't care because they are making money

or better yet, lets have a field trip so we can meet them and tell how BS they are

good stuff, gonna try it. I've won a few SD but Matthew Boyd is giving me fits lol

what a stupid idea, was there a contest to see who could come up with the worst idea at SDS?

if the question is does he have the GOAT name for a hitter, the answer is a resounding YES

My fave part is how diamond fielding Matt Chapman boots an easy one to let the run score in the 9th.

Dude, I have gotten to the 9th with a shutout 3 times in a row, twice ridiculous errors cost me and the last time a [censored] hitter took me deep with 2 outs. Lefty Grove isn't even worth this effort.

Don't try to sell me on the BS difficulty. I have tried this stupid Lefty Grove complete game only to get screwed by BS in the 9th every time. Veteran my assss.

it's weak. People online have no game.

there, I fixed it

I misspoke, of course I know DD is online, the whole mode is. I meant having to play online H2H games.

@eatyum said in Why do the programs put an emphasis on online?:

Do they? It's a pretty nice mixture of both, you don't have to play online to finish them. (Unless you are talking about prestige)

Yes, prestige is what I meant, sorry

I don't EVER want to play online, it's broken. Give me moments, showdown etc. Screw online.

horrendous fielding and baserunning, They have sucked for years and continue to suck

I mean it's shocking. My jaw was on the floor most of the game
