@Frankdatruetank said in Female story fail:

I love the concept. But it failed on one aspect, your female player is not the first woman to play in the Double A - historically speaking. April 2nd, 1931 Jackie Mitchell debuted in an exhibition game between the Chattanooga Lookouts and the New York Yankees. She made history by striking out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig before walking Tony Lazzeri.

It's not a fail. It was an exhibition game and players don't actually register until they play an actual regular season game which is why they are correct.

Finally got on and now says maintenance lol

So far, no. Not for me. What a shocker, every year

@Justianhael_PSN said in So hard to Hit HR in moments:

On Team affinity season 3 moments.
Jorge Soler HR moment..9 Perfect Perfect swings..no homer..with 122 power. Is this even close to realistic. So in real life if this dude gets 9 perfect hits at a ball none are going out? [censored] this game

Only time I've had a perfect swing not go out in these kinds of moments is when the launch angle wasn't good enough. Perfect could be a line drive, ground ball or fly ball depending on how the contact is made. That being said, do what other people are doing and directional and power swing holding up. Done in minutes

I still don't see a good reason for expiring cards and it still blows my mind that people defend it.

If I learned anything around here throughout the years, it would be that people will go to extreme lengths to defend their favorite game. Positive bias is a very real thing.

You are right about that but it also works both ways. There is a lot of people that will be negative just to be negative.

Not sure about that. I can only speak for myself of course but I can truthfully say that I really want to love this game and this franchise more than any other game out there, for various reasons. But I just end up being disappointed year in year out. So yes, I voice that frustration and I do it by not just trolling and saying the game is bad or it sucks blabla, I always provide feedback with in depth arguments.

And yet people will perceive me as constantly negative because they don't actually care about (or even read) the arguments I provide, they just see a complaint and put me in the complainers container.

I wasn't talking about you directly but there are some that no matter what is done, they will be negative just to be negative. I get frustrations with this game, I stopped playing it a month ago and not saying anyone has or doesn't have the right to complain. I was just stating that it works both ways

I dont think any company worries too much about EA and sports titles. People said the same when they brought back NBA and what happened? 2k baseball crumbled as well. I don't think the show has to worry. I wish they would though because it would make a better product by being pushed.

It's pretty laughable that anyone thinks that some random major league player could just jump behind the plate and just catch everything. There might be some yes, and if there is no batter and not in a game then more than likely yes but in a game, batter swinging and all that's going on, no shot a high number are doing well.

@Xfoufoufou_PSN said in Good Job SDS putting so much randomness in this game:

You Shouldn't lose outhitting your opponent 16-7.

every critical spot you square a ball .. good time pci on for lineout .. perfect perfect double play.

When this game wants you to lose there's nothing you can do you will lose

Skill doesn't win here .. Luck does

Bunch of idiots all you try to do is [censored] people off SDS

Most Toxic Studio there isn't if you outplay your opponent or make good swing you shouldn't have outs 60% of the time !!!

Hard to take a whole lot of what ypu say serious when you say that you shouldn't get out 60% of the time. That would be a .400 batting average. You should be getting out 70% of the time, unless I read that wrong.

He has a WS icon guys. Pretty sure that means he has hit 900. And has played on legend.

But. I think the solution is fairly simple. If people stopped playing at Shield Woods, Laughing Mountain, Coors and that one other new park. The batting practice games would be much rarer.

Never understood why some of these streamers I watch on twitch complain about giving up homeruns when they pick the max elevation stadiums custom or not. I like playing on All American, Oak Street and Hatch and Motor. As for MLB I love Truist.

Literally they whine about cheap home runs well man you chose laughing mountain, but also will whine about playing at larger parks like Texas. Like at least it’s a mlb park

Don’t play at any of those unless my opponent takes me there……garbage fields. but I’ll randomly select places like texas just for you.Point is BR is purely luck no skill. Your PCI could be completely off the ball and still get that very late jammed hit. But yeah it’s the elevation that makes the difference. It’s the horrid RNG and game they rinse cycle and repeat and don’t address it but If i hit a perfect perfect off a sinker it could be a groundball.

You cant hit a perfectly timed ground ball?

So they can't program hitting to work properly but thwy can program it to predetermine the outcome before you play and then have the game play that score and ending to work just fine by scripting the game?

Is that actually what is being said here

@SkipPractice_PSN said in Pack Luck Rigged ?:

SDS stinks as a gaming developer for baseball.

I wish EA sports would stop making Tap Baseball for phones and tap their way back into making MVP Baseball once again.

People playing 2k golf have been asking for a couple of years for the pga game to come out and now they are all complaining about that. Why do people think that EA making a game is going to be some kind of hero? MVP was great back then but that game was extremely bare bones and no online compared to what today's games are. Thinking that EA will make a good baseball game is very flawed thinking.

Pretty sure it's a plus 5 to all stats. Don't think there is anything more than that

I said this on another thread. I buy a controller from game stop and get the protection. Anytime my controller goes out of whack, I just take it to them and pay another protection and walk out with a new controller. I go through 2 or 3 a year so it costs me 30 bucks a year basically and I'm always using a new controller when I want to.

They never question anything, they just ask what color I want.

I buy my controller at game stop and now any time I have any issues, I just bring it back, pay 11 bucks and get a brand new one. Ps5 controllers are flat out garbage. If the stick drift doesn't get you, something else will. Get one at gamestop and buy the year protection and never pay for a new controller again. Well full price anyways.

I look at it as a membership fee for my controller. Gone through too many to count since I bought the ps5. NHL does a number on them pushing in the left stick

I actually did that but the return policy is only good for one new controller a year. Now if you pay for the protection policy each time you return a bad controller then yeah you won't have to pay full price. Still a lousy deal that these controllers are so poorly made.

Thats what the 11 bucks each time is for. I'd rather pay that every 4 months than 100 for a new controller

Did you/do you play mini seasons?

I played one game and won. When I realized I couldn't change roster mid season I just restarted the season to set a roster and not of players I just had in there for PXP. I never restarted a new season.

You can change the roster anytime you alwant to, at least in the affinity one you can. Before you start a game, click manage roster or line up or whatever and you can flip players in and out. I did it during my run when I finished the AL East, started working on another one and changed it all up. Couldn't in rhe post season though

@samguenther1987 said in Team Affinity:

I have my team ready for mini seasons now so i'm going to be getting the vouchers for that soon enough. I'm at about 20 percent on each right now.

This is what I'm at but al east is 97% or something close to that. I'm running mini seasons to get vouchers and collect xp. Affinity is a much longer grind than in the past which is good. I'm enjoying it
