@Onyx_Hokie_2 said in Penalty For Requesting FQ While Losing:

A recent opponent had the brass neck to ask for a "Friendly" Quit while losing 6-0 in the 3rd inning.

I think that if/when such things are reported, the offending player should receive - at minimum - a 24-hour ban from playing online.

I also think that the game should incorporate a system whereby it's not possible to ask for an FQ beyond a certain threshold, or better still requiring more than one button press to accept an FQ.

Thoughts?

Are you sure a 24 hour ban is enough? Maybe SDS should send a major league ball player to their house to take out their knee caps with a bat.

It's a video game. Decline the friendly quit, and lighten up, Francis.

Just think of all the other games you could have won and played in that time.

This guy negotiates with terrorists.

Well, if you're seriously looking to find another studio to create a baseball game, you're certainly posting in the right place...

ScottD doesn't know, that the MLB made a stadium that wasn't in the movie.

Oh, ScottD doesn't know
So don't tell ScottD

I've never watched his content. Apparently he has over 240k subscribers. You would hope someone with that kind of following would be capable of playing a video game without acting like a [censored], but I guess not.

Your "opponent" is free to undercut you by one stub to maximize his profit, just like you are free to drop the price by thousands to reduce how much you will make. That's how a market works.

You don't need to say anything really because this is a terrible take. If you don't want to use them, don't. Variety is good.

Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

I’ve been using this forum since 17, and without a doubt the post where people were complaining about lefty common pitchers in the event (which is allowed based on the rules) was one of the dumbest complaints I have ever seen.

The average player has never visited this forum, doesn’t notice the lag/frame rate issues, and even if they did they probably didn’t connect it to MLB parks. They’re just trying to play a video game.

Then there is another small percentage of players that know about the lag / frame rate and simply don’t care because they want to play in MLB stadiums in an MLB game.

I understand the frustration, but trying to change what away parks you end up in by complaining about it here is equivalent to pissing in the wind.

@zach7153 said in What exactly is considered bunt cheesing?:

I've seen threads complaining about people bunt cheesing but what exactly is considered bunt cheesing? Is it just people that bunt the whole game? Cause I know there are times where I bunt in this game for certain situations it is apart of the game after all

Basically bunting anytime with a speedy player to the right side or bunting to beat the auto shift. Not in a situation that you would bunt

I'm not an advocate for bunting all the time, but if an opponent keeps bunting against the auto shift and you don't turn that auto shift off... you really have no one to blame but yourself. That's no more "cheesy" than the defense shifting based on offensive tendencies so they are more likely to be where the ball is hit.

You can't expect the pros without the cons.

Your evidence is that he couldn't hit for one inning, and then you got torched? That's not evidence. You could have been predictable with your pattern and he picked it up. He could have realized he was swinging at junk and then settled in. It happens all the time. There have been plenty of games where I was swinging wildly in the first and then settled in and had a huge 2nd inning.

Not everyone is out to get you, and every opponent that beats you isn't cheating. If he was cheating, why did he wait until the 2nd inning to start?

@dirty-shawnchez_psn said in Parents, do you know where your children are now?:

They're playing BR.

Played two games. Matched up with two 'kids' who both had Puerto Rico in either their ID or team name.

Both spammed R2 ALL game. Both bunt danced all game. Both played like complete tools.

Quit both game because I don't have time for children tonight.

So you positively reinforced their bad behavior by giving them a free win, which makes them more likely to continue it in the future? BR consists of 3 inning games. What they're doing may be obnoxious, but if you can't push past that for 3 innings to put them in their place, then you may want to rethink playing online. Smack them around for 15-20 minutes, and then play someone else.

@Ewogimia365 said in To sports fans against wearing masks:

Penn st another Dunning-Kruger.. if you spoon fed your children what are in vaccines you would be in prison. It's funny that your actually the unintelligent 1. As I have a degree in molecular biology and I actually do have quite an extensive background on the subject at hand. So like I said if it helps you feel good to be spoon feed the mainstream narrative I wont be the 1 to change your mind. As 0 people have explained how this virus came from a place that have wore mask for decades 0 of you.

The fact that you are creating forum posts regarding scientific topics while using text speak without proper punctuation, spelling, and the correct use of your / you're leads me to believe you are just another misinformed teenager believing the conspiracy theory [censored] you see on TV.

I actually have a degree in chemistry and have taken molecular and microbiology courses. If you have anything more than a high school degree, I suggest you ask for a refund.

It's not just about death. Don't worry though. It's not like the world's best athletes rely on their lungs. Oh wait...

The more you know...

This must be a joke, right? I'm sorry if this comes off as rude, but is every one of your opponents supposed to adjust their play time to your schedule? If you don't have time to play the game, don't play the game. If we matched up and you were away so long that the timer actually expired, I'm clicking that forfeit button and attempting to match up with someone who won't waste my time.

There was about a 2-3 month period over the summer where I knew I was too sick to make it through a 9 inning game without needing to pause for an extended period of time. Do you know what I did? I stuck to 3-inning game modes where I was more likely to make it through without needing to pause, or I played conquest/moments until I was sure I could actually get through a game without wasting my opponents time, or risking a forfeit.

If SDS actually instituted what you're suggesting, as soon as anyone went down by a run or two they would just pause the game indefinitely and wait for their opponent to quit out of frustration. This idea is so incredibly bad that I am convinced it must be a troll post.

Assuming that for #3 you are also including the CPU padded stats from after the opponent quit, then #3-5 are some of the worst suggestions I have ever seen brought to the attention of members of this forum.

This is an overly complicated and unnecessary solution to something which barely even qualifies as an issue. The only legitimate complaint regarding opponents quitting mid-game is when it's mid-homerun, which could be even more easily solved by SDS not linking online stats to something like prestige cards, or by them making the stat count the instant contact is made since the game knows what is going to happen.

Plus, with how random the outcome is at times in The Show, it's way better for you when the opponent just throws in the towel. Chances are they would have clawed their way back and made it interesting on some BS anyway.

This is a direct quote from the Playstation Twitter account.

"While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is the time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard."

It's not that the Twitter guy is looting, so he is too busy to tweet. This was a clear directive from higher up to allow the focus of attention on a serious issue. The only negative is that many companies or people in power are jumping on the bandwagon for selfish reasons in order to improve their own image.

I may be a white guy who has cop family members, but I'm not blind. Police brutality is real. People of color are discriminated against. It doesn't take much effort to find dozens of videos of white police officers beating the hell out of peaceful protestors and journalists. Police officers are not above the law and need to be held accountable for their actions. They shouldn't get off with a slap on the wrist and a paid vacation for blatant abuse of power. Change needs to happen. Enough is enough.

I honestly can't believe anyone would have the audacity to whine about a lack of information about a video game because a company is attempting to show solidarity with a downtrodden group of people. It's [censored] embarrassing, and you should all be better than that.
