The unhandled server exceptions. This is outrageous. We can’t even finish a mission without the error and we don’t know until it’s complete and we don’t get credit for it. Can you at least acknowledge it and what you’re doing about it? Thanks.

It’s seriously unbelievable. A 100% probability that in a showdown, if you have a runner on first and swing the bat, swing anywhere even, you will ground into a double play. It’s not even funny.

Just had to put it on here because my friends aren’t really into the show like I am. Didn’t spend one single dime. It is possible. No card pulls for more than 10k value either. A couple broken controllers through the run but those don’t count. Cheers.

The CPU pitchers at every difficulty and mode are just refusing to throw strikes now. It’s beyond annoying. I can’t spend 70 minutes/9 innings. Something changed and needs to change back.

Here we are again. What angers me, albeit probably unnecessarily, is that this [censored] is being done and the devs will never admit it. The conquest sliders are completely altered. I’ve been playing for years. I’m legit good. It’s not that it’s hard. But these Rookie games are still ending 1-0 or 2-0. The timing is consistently good, PCI spot on. And the ball goes nowhere. It’s rookie. Rookie. The devs are rigging this so we can’t stat grind. So we all spend more time logged in. That’s the motive. I think all I want is my theory validated. Nothing has to change. But I feel like I’m going nuts with this [censored]. It’s the principle of the matter that’s the most frustrating.

Be patient. I know it’s beating a dead horse but the CPU ball/strike ratio is excruciatingly frustrating. And the CPU hitters will foul on average 5-8 pitches in two strike counts against you. Be prepared.

Does anybody unbiasedly think this is the worst game yet? Is it because of the multi platforms? It’s not even fun anymore. There’s always been some issues with online play but it’s as bad as Angel Hernandez calling every game. You expect absurdity.

@chuckclc_psn said in Can we see some CPU strikes please?:

I'm more annoyed by the cpu hitters and their aggressiveness last couple days. Doing the whitey ford moments on rookie and they swing at every single pitch in the strike zone and hit hard. And lay off every slider just off the plate. Use to be the meta was fb strike one strike two, slider swing and miss strike 3. Especially on rookie.

Heard. It also bugs me when they whiff first two. Then foul about 7-8 consecutive after that. And then, ground out. I know it’s not worth complaining about but you can tell the developers track how long users are online for and that’s got to be a reason.

This is getting absurd. Is SDS’s main mission to waste Users’ time? Is the goal to make people logged in as long as possible? Because it is becoming increasingly clear in many instances. In these [censored] conquest games ON VETERAN and you’re driving the ball for lazy fly outs and their pitchers are dotting the black every pitch. On all star or higher, I get it. But veteran or lower, no excuse. It’s supposed to be for grinding. And apparently the difficulty level is completely irrelevant in conquest now.

Honestly, what are you guys doing? You let a cheap douchebag like this loser create two CAPs ranked diamond playing the field and pitching and you allow them to create lefty knuckleballers with 5 pitches? Do your f’ing jobs and make this a somewhat realistic baseball game. It’s all we have right now.

The bull the devs pull on this mode is enough to delete the game and never buy another one. Competition is fine. But when you’re playing on Rookie to grind stats and it’s clear that the sliders are adjusted and every game, even on rookie, goes into extras with 0-0 or 1-1 scores against garbage clubs, you know the devs are giving you the finger for your time. This game is just getting consistently worse every year. But at least we have 8 versions of the same players over and over again instead of new content players. That’s a plus.

Maybe a server issue or just a bad connection. But the timing is just atrocious online. Constantly late on 93mph 4SFB. Then extremely early on the same pitch hammering it foul. I’m not doing anything different. Anybody else experiencing this?

So uh, when did they make 3rd inning showdowns impossible again? This is even worse than the 1st inning ones now. I went on a streak of about 5 straight dominations two weeks ago and now I played 2 in a row and lost. Something definitely changed.

Don’t waste your breath on @PaullyG24. All of his posts are complaints about how hard moments and showdowns are on rookie/veteran

Yes, you have a point. I don’t think I’ve ever commented because something was easy. Ah. Self reflection.

Alright this is enough. Tweak the CPU pitching back so it actually throws some strikes here and there. It’s on all modes and difficulty levels at this point. This is getting ridiculous. It’s making the game extremely boring. Thanks.

It’s not even that. I don’t fail because of it. It’s just annoying because the games take longer. That’s why SDS did it in the first place. It’s obvious.

It’s official now. 6/7 games I’ve played on veteran in conquest have been 1-0 games. Even just now on rookie, 88mph “4SFB” with perfect/perfect on a batter with 107 contact and 95 power…caught on the warning track. Conquest difficulties are 100% adjusted. There is no longer any dispute. SDS has eliminated the grind.

Thanks but I don't think Mantle will ever be in my sights. Lol. I never get those guys because I refuse to A. Spend money or B. Devote the amount of time required to obtain that many stubs. I devote a lot of time, but I can't spend 8+ hours a day or I'll get sick of the game honestly.

If the missions were “don’t strike out”, it would be perfect.

If there were any metrics for lazy fly balls to center field, DJ would be the GOAT.
