The warning track outs with good PCI placement and timing is bringing back memories of 18. Unless they fix this issue, this game will go down on par with 18 if not worse.
This game has every issue the previous ones had
18 and 19 were auto outs on good hits.
20 was the perfect pitch down the middle.
21 was non PCI cheese.
They haven’t improved on any of these issues and instead gave us a game with all of them in one. Why aren’t we supposed to blame the game when we do everything right but nothing happens? Can anyone explain that to me cause this game makes no sense.

There’s absolutely no excuse for the first one, though some will try.
6 years playing online, thousands upon thousands of games, earned every thing possible (WS/12-0) multiple times….and there’s still times I want to pull my hair out in frustration with the way this game tries it’s hardest to keep your opponent relevant during the game.
Simulation to a point is fine, but when that simulation has more control than the player….it’s gone too far. You have to play your opponent and the Sim/RNG at the same time.
Game rewards bad hits on par with good hits. 3 or 4 bloops a game would be understandable but it’s much more than that at this point. Too many warning tracks on good hits…period.
The ability to foul off pitches is crazy this year.
Fielders slowing down/giving up on chasing down dribbling base hits. They literally slow down and let the ball go by.
Pitches go wherever they want.
Non PCI hits are back with a vengeance.
Pitches intended for below the zone are a death sentence.
Outfielders act confused and start glitching out sometimes when under a fly ball.
Timing is nothing but a crutch/cheese.
The feeling that you can’t play through a game without having to battle the Sim/RNG along with your opponent. Was hoping for a more PvP experience without the game itself trying to influence outcomes. I don’t want to win/lose on flukey stuff and this years game is full of it.
Better graphics would have been nice too. At least a noticeable difference.
Outer PCI needs to go before we see this problem go away. Outer PCI is nothing but a safety net that gives you more chances during an AB.

Instead of flooding the forum with the now 5th post about the same thing, you probably could have just posted this in one of the other ones. Just saying.
You should apply to be the mod since you care deeply about what/how things should go on here.
Grinding out the 350 innings would have more incentive…and fun…if the rewards along the way were better. If they want us to play online then the online rewards need to be worth it except for just the cards at the end. The gameplay is already miserable enough….getting a few standard packs or a few hundred stubs doesn’t make it any more tolerable.
Why should RNG be a factor determining wins/loss? This is a competitive online game, not a slot machine at the casino.

I most definitely wouldn’t keep buying it. SDS is reading the OP’s posts and laughing as they count their money every year.

Do you have anything constructive to say about the points I brought up? You and others patrol this site daily and offer nothing but inappropriate comments.

15 had the best gameplay but 16 reigns supreme.
These participation trophy SDS apologist have no idea.
@raylewissb47_psn said in Newer players don’t know:
This is just so sad. To make topic after topic multiple times a day complaining about a video game. It’s not that serious.
Can’t talk about what you like with the online hitting/pitching???? Interesting.

I am no longer irritated by your posts. It’s sympathy now.
You started playing in 20 and your an offline player…enough said.

Dude lives in moms basement and screams for the meatloaf for sure. What a loser. Imagine wasting away your life on something that you hate. I too have sympathy on this pleb.

If you started this game post 17…you don’t know what good gameplay is. Of course your going to defend the game because it’s all you know…you don’t know how good it actually was and can be again. Also, the game didn’t hold your hand the way it does now and it’s become nothing but participation trophy gameplay because SDS doesn’t want you to quit playing.
And by the way….I see players defend this game all day long, every day….yet I don’t see them say why they enjoy the online gameplay. Unless you like garbage hits, magnet pitches, good input that gets you nothing until the game decides it….and the game helping you win because you can’t do it on your own.

Exactly most fail to comprehend this
So it wasn’t they’re choice…that’s cool….what does that have to do with they’re inabilities to make a properly functioning game? Especially a game that has had minor changes to it over YEARS. They’ve had the foundation already built and yet here we are with problems…..again.
@letgocats10_xbl said in Reporting a Problem:
does anyone know what I should do if I'm not getting gameplay xp
I do know you won’t get a response from the people who make this game.
Maybe try deleting and re download the game.
Game is on pace to beat 18 as the worst one ever.
All the people who bought new monitors and SDS makes the game worse…what a shame this year is.
You think they intentionally changed it, for the worse, so batting averages were kept “realistic”.
