Why does it feel like they made it even harder to score on rookie difficulty in play vs cpu? Feels like you will get stats when they want you to get stats. Sds just let us make as much progress as we want offline. I dont play this game to find out what i have to work on or practice, i play to have FUN. Get off your high horse and let people play the game for fun without having to do mandatory practice time. Inept company

Yeah they don’t want to you to have fun haven’t for years. Ever since they forced us to play on competitive and not casual offline has been a slog

Some people are experiencing issues, and the team is looking into it.

While your at it stop restricting people from placing sell orders on there duplicates. Literally didn’t even get to 20 cards and my account is restricted

I swear it was just me. I’m not the greatest player, but I do know baseball and the cpu pitching is the worst. I find myself chasing bad pitches more so out of frustration and boredom. I am totally responsible for swinging or not but the cpu is not realistic. It seems to pitch with the same “recipe”: ridiculous non-strikes, a borderline pitch for a strike followed by more non-strikes until you get 2 strikes then a cheesy strike 3. Bottom line: I need to let the cpu throw balls, but it just seems so cheesy.

They also will pitch around a righty to get to lefty lefty and visa versa it’s almost better to just put all righties together and all lefties together in your lineup

So I’m playing the new mini seasons on hof, and it’s such an unneccicary time dump due to the pitchers throwing a 80/20 ball to strike ratio and that’s being generous. This is in no way representative of how pitchers pitch in real life or H2H in the game. It’s just ridiculous. It really makes playing the cpu dreadful. If anyone pitched like this in real life their career would be over it’s just walk after walk and maybe one hittable pitch, same w H2H, you would never win. So why is the cpu programmed to throw an obscene amount of balls? The only reason I can think of is to waste your time making sure if you want a hittable pitch you have to sit through a 6 pitch at bat, almost everytime. They also pick people with long windups for the rosters and then take the maximum amount to pitch everytime. SDS, please make playing the cpu less painful. If your trying to artificially inflate playing time your gonna get the opposite as it makes me not want to play the mode ever.

I had the cpu throw 10 straight balls last night it’s infuriating

Hey folks,

There's some really valuable feedback here that I've already begun sharing with the team. Keep it coming and please remember to stay respectful and on topic.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response

This thing couldn’t be a bigger joke if they tried, not everyone wants to play online for 1. And 2 just add more missions why is it so hard to just let us play the game how we want

@Ledfoot_19_PSN said:

My favorite is how many at bats see 3 pitches three feet off the plate and 3 pitches dotted perfectly to just catch a smidgen of the box for a strike. Imagine all MLB pitchers being that wild and perfect in almost every at bat. Totally unrealistic and ridiculous.

Exactly

How TF is it June and the cpu still throws a thousand balls a game this garbage is unplayable

@NotesOfJohn_PSN said:

After all the justified criticism of the lack of XP in Innings two, how are we all doing this innings?

They reduced the amount needed for the boss, although the lack of XP (due to a lack of consistent content) is still a real issue.

So, where are we all at?

Still 40k away….

I’m sure I’m not alone but I personally feel like a moron for not taking advantage of it

@Mandrykm_MLBTS said:

Will they go down in prices after the glitch?

Probably not I doubt everyone will get to them even dropping it 100k xp player base is fed up with the bs from sds

@Ditka06_MLBTS I was having fun up there tho that’s the thing a lot more then I am in the 600s believe it or not it wasn’t rly I was trying for 900s more aless just ended up there I don’t fully care what my rating is as long as I hit World Series every season.

Sounds like you were playing me sometimes it just takes til the 9th inning to pop off

@maurice91932_PSN said:

I have to come on here once a year and put it out there: I hope whichever developer thought of “Moments” gets diarrhea in traffic.

Moments are by far the most frustrating part of this game.

Moment #1- Get a hit. First pitch and it’s a homer.

Moment #4- Hit a homerun. Spend 40 minutes hitting singles and perfect line outs.

I love when you can complete a program with the OPTION of doing the moments. Whenever a card or program REQUIRES moments, I cringe. I know I’m going to spend a stupid amount of time trying to complete it.

Okay. Got that off my chest. Carry on, yall.

And not only that they double and tripled down with showdown and diamond quest it’s all a cancer

@TimmyPlays8366_XBL said:

I just went 2-22 on good swings an 1-6 on perfect perfect swings. How long until y’all actually listen to the community and fix the game. I know I’m not the only one w this problem. Littleman17, YourfriendKyle, and many other creators time after time have similar things happen. It’s insane.

It’s not even worth complaining they aren’t changing it, and the “that’s baseball” crowd will be in here soon

@iBonafideScrub__PSN said:

For you struggling with the base running, change your player lock base running settings to buttons and as soon as you hit it press R2.

If you use analog he’ll not go past second base even if you hold the stixk up.

Even with that I’m out every time they couldn’t give him 99 speed for this moment makes no sense like is about the storyline or showing off there broken game mechanics

@TripleH-4481_PSN said:

The CPU is flat out obnoxious to play the vast majority of the time. Between the eagle eyed hitters not swinging at pitches right on or just off the corners, fielders making diving plays and covering way too much ground, and pitchers dotting up the zone like Greg Maddux it can be an extremely annoying grind.

All of this happens even with common players on low difficulty levels which is ridiculous. If they were diamond players on high difficulty I could understand it but that is far from the case. I know it’s by design to make the game “challenging” but it’s super redundant and slows the grind to a snails pace.

Yeah they do this on purpose so don’t expect to to change if anything it’s worse this year

Sorry if this has been answered already but do you just have to beat the two stadiums to get the two eggs or actually get the cards associated? If it is up to RNG that’s a joke I haven’t touched DQ this year and I’d rather not waste my time

Absolutely not

Meter is officially dead SDS basically saying adapt or die it’s sad

@Rhyno1986_XBL said:

I've tried both things and there is still an egregious amount of perfect perfect outs this year. Now I agree fielding matters and contact hitters should get more soft singles, but to have this and then hit a perfect with 88 harper with a power mod and 90+ power that is an out can not happen. I will die on the hill of a perfect swing should never end with an out. You should not punish players for doing everything right

Couldn’t agree more and I turned off blur night 1 so that isn’t the issue, the issue was it wasn’t at Coors
