And by 'child' mean someone with the mentality of a child.

1. Their team name is a play on a sexual act/term that they think theyre being 'cute'.
2. The audio for their team name is 'Uranus'.
3. Their cap name is also a sexual innuendo and the audio for is either 'Big Daddy', '69', or a combo of both.
4. They'll have a lefty strong lineup and send you a FQ when they see your starting Sig Series Newhouser; even though their starter is also a lefty.
5. After you refuse said Friendly Quit; they proceed to bunt dance EVERY AB, take multiple steps off base, hold R2 EVERY AB for the duration they can, if they get a runner on, and when they're pitching; they take forever to throw the ball by stepping off as much as they can.
   6.After you combat this for 3 innings; you decide to send them an FQ; which they decline.
6. Then once you get 3 runners on base, after they throw 12 consecutive pitches in the dirt, and they hang a pitch to your 4th batter; which is CRUSHED for what would be a Grand Slam, they Rage Quit mid flight.

Here's what I dont understand. EVERY YEAR people complain about RNG nad the game 'catering' to 'Little Billy' players; yet the SAME peoplw that complain buy it EVERY single year.

If you 'KNOW' its not going to be based on ability; why do you still buy it?

When CPU controller outfielders can make diving catches; but yet my human controlled outfielders, with Gold and higher defense, miss routine pop flys, because the 'decide' to mysteriously fall down while running the ball; thus losing the game for me.

Oh, and don't get me started on how a 71 ovr CPU controlled RP, with NO stamina OR energy, can dot the corners; yet my fresh Silver SP's pitch that was supposed to be up and away 'mysteriously' morphs down and in!

If you don't need to keep the CPU from scoring and all you need to do is get 'X' amount if hits, total bases, XBHs, etc; please DONT MAKE US PITCH.

It's a waste of time!

But I think me and my son played our last game of Diamond Dynasty tonight.

First off, I know what you're thinking; ANOTHER one of these posts.

But I think I am justified for feeling this way for a few reasons.

First, I know I probably should've shut off his ability to receive messages, and thata on me, but when someone (who is LOSING in a Freeze Off by 4 runs) sends a 13 yr old kid FIFTY messages calling him any AND every name in the book AND threatens to report my kid if he doesn't quit a game that he is winning; does not deserve to even play this game.

Then when the guy finally quits; 2 hrs later; he has the audacity to send a msg stating that he just reported my kid for 'causing the game to freeze'; just takes the cake.
I know that this is an empty threat. And chances are nothing will happen to my son; but that's not the point.

Then when I decide to hop on my account; I match up with not one, but two, Prestige Level playera who proceed to abuse EVERY possible explout with this game. Bunt dancing, lag, quick pitching, running back and forth on the basepaths; hoping I'll throw to the wrong base, tryinf the FQ glitch; trying to get me to join a party, asking me to walk them 10x.

You name it they tried it. Whata even better, one was rocking a WS banner and the other was rocking a GOAT icon.

Anyway, this has to be the most toxic community I've ever come across in all my years or gaming.

I'm not saying everyone is like this, and ibe met a few people on here; that if I came across in person; we would be friends. However, recently the bad hace ourweighed the good.

When something that is supposed to relax you, like a video game, Actually frustrates you; its time to move on.

I just wish I could keep playing; but I donr even want to play offline right now.

Thanks to everyone that helped.

Maybe I'll be back aftwr a few weeks away; but I'm not holding my breathe.

First off, I realize this is a video game. But come on people. What's with the 'win at all costs' attitude?

My last opponent started a Ranked Seasons game off with Kluber pitching.

We get to the top of the 5th tied 0-0 when he gets two runs off a busted play due to ANOTHER fielding error.

Bottom of the 5th and he proceeds to bring in Sig Newhouser. (Even though he had MULTIPLE Diamond RPs with FULL energy).

Then the bottom of the 8th; he brings in Kyle Wright.

Are you kidding me!

SDS needs to do something about Starters coming in to relief spots.

I 'almost' feel bad that the servers dropped the game and it didn't register.

I understand that they're probably short staffed; but until gitting and pitching are fixed, along with other bugs; this game is going to die.

That being said, anyone/everyone can say that they're done playing; but unless you ACTUALLY stop playng; it's a moot point.

I assume we'll have a stub sale soon, and if people are serious about wanting the game fixed; that's where we make our stand.

Keep buying stubs, keep playing, and there really isn't any reason for them to patch the game.

AGGRESSIVE! Simmed a hexagon earlier. I had 22 fans they had 5. I lost!

Pitchers are also being aggressive in his they throw. Used to be able to take a drink in bwtween pitches. Now I can't even put the controller down for a second.

Also, what's up with them playing like Hall of Famers on Rookie difficulty? Painting corners, jumping 3 ft in the air to catch a line drive, diving catches, etc.

And how can I play one team on AS, to steal fans, and score 7 runs; they the same team I play on Rookie, shuts me out for 7 innings?

Just got 3 The Show Packs for hitting something in a Program. (Wish they would tell you from where).
Anyway, last card of the last pack had that lovely blue tint.

Hit the button and as yhat I was getting a free LS Diamond Center Fielder from the AL!

Yes, you guessed it; I am a proud owner of a shiny new card of LS George Springer!

SCORE!!!! (smdh)

And you don't collect $200. Oh wait, wrong game.

First off I know cards don't make the player. But I just watched my son lose a 21 inning game vs the CPU, on AS, 4-3.

If the CPU wasnt making Superman diving plays, jumping 10ft in the air to catch a line drive, it was dotting the zone with bullets.

I bought him 150K worth of stubs because that, and this game, is what he wanted for his birthday.

But to watch LS Judge, Betts, Realmuto, Freeman, Yelich, AND Acuna for a combined 2-36 is [censored] ridiculous.

And no it's not because he is a bad player; it's because the CPU was on GOD mode.

His bats looked like they had holes in them. And to lose on a FB that was thrown eye high, and was hit for the walk off homerun by a [censored] Bronze with 65 Contact and 63 Power is a joke.

As soon as he would score, his fielders played like toddlers and the CPU would mysteriously score. 7 errors in that game.

And to top it off; he needed the win to get the Semi-Final pack from the Player's League program.

Now he has to play them again.

But a CPU controlled pitcher, with NO energy and NO confidence should not be able to paint the corners when throwing 90+ speed fastballs.

@HollaMV7 said in Advice on AL West Showdown run:

6 ladies sounds like more than enough lol.

Personally I would skip Ohtani. But it depends on how good a player you are if you can beat Verlander down 15-8.

6 ladies? [censored]. I wish I had that much stamina!

@eatyum said in Yep. They patched fielding. NOT!:

I'm not even sure what I watched, I don't know if it was the game or not, why did you even dive, it wasn't like you were stuck in place, he did pause a little, but he never locked into place he was still moving when you dived.

also you can't lose be eliminated on a showdown through fielding, so why would you get 1000 stubs back? You still have your run.

I didn't dive. The game dove for me. If you notice that little 'stutter step' right before I dove; that's when the error began.

And I know I don't get eliminated on those mini battles. It's not worth playing if I can't control my outfielder.

I don't understand how they can program CPU controlled fielders to make highlight reel catches; but 'human' controlled ones can't do shyt.

MLB The Show Twitter just posted a video confirming Sig Series Torre as one 9f the 4th Inn Bosses.

Just watched my son play a game where he was trying to get the XBHs with Bats, IB, 3B, and Catchers so he can get Posada, Mathews, Hernandez, and Dawson completed and all because he came back, down 5-2, in the bottom of the 6th inning to load the bases and hit what wouldve been a walk off Grand Slam with LS Grandal, to win the game; just to watch his opponent dashboard mid flight.

Guess a Gold Level 52 player, with a swuad full of Diamonds, couldnt handle a Bronze 22 with Silvers and Golds coming back to beat him.

Piece of trash!

@DriveByTrucker17 said in Elation or devistation:

It’s been 7 minutes. What happened?

Dude. I paused the game. Went upstairs to take a leak, took the dog out, and chugged two fingers of Scotch; before I came back. Wanted to relax.

First pitch I swung and hit a solo shot with Baez. Won 16-15.

Not really a brag moment, but after trying for multiple attempts, I can now move on to the TA ones.

What else am I supposed to do? It’s not just every once in a while, it’s happening too much.

Stop playing it. If its frustrating, then dont play it.

Or they could fix the issues, hence the reason why we bring them to light.

Then bring them to light in one thread; not a new thread every day.

Plus, dont you think of people stop playing; they'll wonder why?

Continuously playing a mode/game that you think is broken, rigged, or fixed; then coming on here and making multiple threads daily about it ia like banginf your head continuously off a wall and bitching that it hurts.
