Are you throwing high off-speed pitches? If so, I am guessing you are not getting great results.

I throw a high curvball in Coors Field once ... The ball land in my backyard in Canada

@mjfc_363_psn said in The Sinker:

I’m ready to ban the sinker from future games! I’m sick of seeing it. It’s bogus anyway. Who’s with me? Death to the sinker!

The thing is it's not a sinker .... sinker ball is just like a 2s fastball used more grip with deadly last second drop... in the game sinker is like a 12/6 102mph curvball muted with invert slider it's ridiculous but ... it's a game the only thing I would like in the future is to stop SDS for calling this game a baseball simulation ....

This game feel like whatever happening is a good old scripted wrestling show ...pretty sure Undertaker will somehow appear and knock the home plate ref with a chair.

Holly hell you can actually feel all the fat when he turn on a perfect perfect it's not fair... poor ball !!!

@joeythebigboss said in How are you elite batters reading pitches:

Fastballs that come in at 100-102 mph with outlier basically got to swing as soon as you see there hands go up otherwise your late on it , I wonder with people who play on a monitor if it’s the same ordeal .

I switch to a cheepo monitor recently the game feel smoother and I'm early on most pitch... so for me I'll say I got a wider time window to figure it out and I still sukc

@olskoole63_psn said in TA 5 Reveals:

Where’s the 99 Griffey?

Sorry but a 99 Griffey for me is just bullshnit ..... I want a 105 Griffey !!!

Griffey .... because : he's Ken Griffey Jr. That's it !

@raesone_psn said in Starting Pitcher dominance:

First of all, happy new year to everyone. A new year means a new MLB The Show, which is more than welcome.

I think this year's game did some things well and other things not so well. Because of that I mostly spent my time playing BR and when I was done with that (grew bored of it) that I moved on to other games.

I installed the game again on my PS5 and now that I'm the US (people who know, I've explained). I've played about 20 RS games and one thing that I noticed more than anything is that SP are way too dominant. In those 20 games I did not once go the bullpen. Not once. So I have all these nice shiny players in my bullpen just sitting there. Because who needs Chapman, Kenley or Rivera when you can dominate 9 innings with a rotation of DeGrom, Verlander, Arrieta, Ohtani and Kershaw? Or any other good SP who can throw 140 pitches of 102mph before getting slightly fatigued? There is no balance here whatsoever.

Truth be told, I haven't played much competition in those 20 games, I'm only at the lower 800s. Maybe 3 or 4 guys were decent and they struggled mightily against my starters. I struggled as well, having to face DeGrom for 9 innings straight is hard on HOF and above. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. Sure, I won those games and hit a few bombs off of him. But it's hard. Too hard imo and not really fun.

The problem is a combination of a couple of things. 102 for the entire game is just BS. Even when you're in the yellow, you can hit that. A guy with insane per 9s used to have poor control or poor velo. Now pretty much every top tier SP has elite per 9s, elite control, elite velocity (99-102) and filthy offspeed to go along with it. There is no balance.

We used to only see this with a handful of RP/CP. And that made sense, because you could only use them for 1 or maybe 2 innings. But now, the bullpen has become obsolete. Hopefully this, amongst other things, will be changed for next year's installment.

You lost me at ps5, I hate you.... haha for real i'm 100% down with you plus if you combine connection issues 102 feel like 122 sometimes and it's just unplayable. I will never be elite, I'm too old but at least can I just enjoyed a good game W or L ?

@raesone_psn said in Anyone else heard this? Too funny:

Up 1-0 and I draw a walk to get a runner on base. Commentator: "and the tying run gets on base".

The best so far is when Mike Trout's batting and he said "He's just like Mike Trout he is good at everything"

@raesone_psn said in Talk about inconsistency:

I've been struggling with hitting in BR all day, it seems like everything just dies off the bat. Flyout galore. And then just now I score 11 runs on 13 hits in the top of the 1st inning against a good player. PCI placement didn't matter, timing didn't matter. Everything was rewarded. What a joke, I feel so bad for the guy.

Pci and timing does matter .... everytime i'm under pci and early I homerun .... thank you sds for making such a shnitty game !

@raylewissb47_psn said in Is this really the best match making you can do?:

Move closer to the servers.

Wrap your wifi antenna with aluminum foil.

@x814xmafia_psn said in Team Affinity packs:

I just opened 20 of these and the best I got was a handful of Silvers.

Just got a bunch of silvers over 15 packs too ... oh and Ronald Acuna Jr. my first diamond over 86 was about time !

@tonyfishsticks_ said in Home runs galore recently:

Anyone else hitting/giving up a ton of home runs recently? Last night played a game, lost 21-17 and i think we each hit 10 hrs a piece and today I'm hitting homers left and right, and so are the kids I'm playing against. Not a complaint, just an observation. I would love to hear your thots.

I must be bad as hell but I just won 3-0 with 5 hits a homerun thanks to the wind and I can't hit a god [censored] ball on the nose ! Maybe it's just not my day ............. Nope I sukc

LS J-Ram he's been ridiculously great for me !!

It depends on how long their sideburns are.

Lmfao. “You know how you can tell this porno is from the 80s?”

This comment is wildly disturbing my mind .... Now I see hair on everything ! Haha

Guess what freeeeeze 4th inning ! Seriously wake up and stop the excuses like your too close from a ufo who crashed in the late 80's...... there's no excuses you suwck lately that's it ! Admitting it is the first step into progression and you seriously need some !

@glltchmaglc_psn said in Need some advice on new pitchers and other…:

Looking for some hidden gems if that’s even possible on here lol. Any advice on some maybe not so well know pitchers? Tired of using the same guys that everyone else uses. Greatly appreciate any mature posts on the question. And even the non mature ones

Side question. What pitchers have the very best slider on the game? Love a good slider!

Don't ask me why or how ... But .....
G : 19
CG : 13
SHO : 9
QS : 11
IP : 106.1
ERA : 1.69
WHIP : 0.68
SO : 131
Give only 7hr and 20 earn run

Yep !!!!!!! I'm talking about the guy with the majestic/weird/too much clean cut beard, he is my obscur hero till this day : Dallas Keuchel (stats online +/- 75% on all star 25% HOF) I like his cut/slider combo and lethal control for me ! Almost free about 17k maybe you should give him a try ! P.s. sorry for my English I work on that ...
