You forgot to mention the game controlling your pitch location too.

It’s playing exactly how they want it. Only question at this point is are they going to keep catering to the little Billy’s out there or make user input rewarding?
I don't even think the "little billy's" can hit or pitch right now
Pitching no, but hitting yes. All you have to do is put it on directional and wait for the game to hang your opponents pitches over the middle. Exactly what SDS wants so the little Billy’s can put hardly any effort into hitting and still be successful. If that doesn’t work, the game deciding errors will keep them in the game while nerfing their opponents hits.

It’s not just hitting that’s bad. The game is literally putting your pitches right down the middle regardless of what you do.
Errors are still controlling momentum swings, at no fault to the player.
Trash hits being rewarded.
Good hits are being nerfed.
Showdown is scripted.
-
If the gameplay wasn’t scripted garbage, I’d spend money too. But with the current state of the game HELL NO.
Why would I spend money for players I want just to watch the game take complete control of them regardless of my input?

@Ikasnu said in SDS please, the game needs MAJOR adjustments not “slight”:
I hit a HR with even worse lol
Yeah man, it’s just whatever at this point....swing away and hope for the best lol.

I got banned for 2 days for saying this but....we can all thank little Billy and directional hitters for what this game has become. Funny thing is, I’m not even that good of a player and I absolutely hate how the game holds your hand or screws you over depending on how the coding is feeling towards you. At my level, winning/losing should mean nothing to the players with all this game influencing bs that happens. If you won, it’s because the game favored you....it’s amazingly easy to see and anyone who plays at the mid levels who denies it is straight up lying.

I keep telling you play a game with directional hitting...it is just as bad..directional hitting has Nothing to do with it.
I’ll take your word for it but when the game puts my pitches right over the middle when I’m aiming out of the zone with perfect release....who is that helping?
-
In 18, the hitting was bad....in 20 the pitching and hitting is bad.....if this is the game this year, it will be the worst ever.
Not to mention in 18 we didn’t have the game controlling momentum swings with errors in which you did nothing wrong to have that error.
Enough with the SLIGHT adjustments SDS, fix this pitching [censored] or admit the game is designed to serve opponents meatballs for more success with hitting.

Also, what happened to pitching? The slight adjustment didn’t fix anything, the game is still grooving my pitches down the middle for my opponent to crush. At this point, it’s intentionally designed to be that way to help players hit.
Mlb 20. They designed this game for you to get perfect input and the pitch go right down the middle.
They put way too many variables on pitch outcome instead of making perfect input more difficult, I don't know but it has to be a technical limitation on the pitching engine at this point.
BB/9, K/9, confidence, control and energy all have an effect on final pitch location, regardless of perfect input. That's just too many variables and results in random outcomes.
Then they add garbage ump sliders to add more randomness to ball/strike calls.
I agree, but the random outcomes are more times than not pitches right over the middle...I feel like that’s intentional at this point to help players hit. Hence why they only did a “slight” adjustment. Kinda proves right there they are unwilling to stop the meatballs being served up, it’s by design obviously regardless of user input/skill.

Nope... Not a chance in Hell.
I’d really like to know their reasoning behind this. I bet a lot of players would just accept it and move forward if SDS communicated with us and were honest.

@tylerslikewhoa said in New patch::
Gameplay tuning has not been touched
Just like the previous patch where they said they adjusted pitching accuracy.....nothing but lies.
-
Couple ideas:
1 - Some, actually a lot, of players played on multiple teams during their career. Give us the opportunity to change the players team on the card to any one of the teams he played on in his career.
2 - Chemistry: Give stat boosts to players who are part of the same team. This ties into idea 1.
Now, this is already implemented in MUT and it’s a lot of fun to build lineups....in fact it’s so fun that it’s actually a popular thing in that game.
Some of y’all are going to say “this ain’t MUT” but honestly, if you’ve never experienced the potential these ideas have...well, you don’t have much to say. It’s fun and I’m sure there’s players like me who would love to build a lineup of current and past stars of their favorite team and have it mean something.

@krazy-kajun77 said in Listen up SDS...and listen good:
Yeah I dont get how common bronze players make diamond defense moves which according to the streams they wouldn't. Even diamond players aren't getting the perks of their fielding. Apparently every infielder can leap 15 feet in the air
Scripted
-
I want the pitching to be fixed first, that’s just me though.
-
No doubt in my mind the pitches down the middle are intentional. They always find a way to cater to little Billy every year.

@MadderBumgarner said in Vida Blue 93 Headliner:
It puts the L's in Little Billy.
Billy will be just fine! He’ll get plenty of pitches served down the middle for him. If that’s not working...the errors and rewarding his garbage hits while nerfing his better opponents hits will carry him to the W.
No way SDS doesn’t allow Billy to quit playing.
-
And fix pitching, I mean, turn the scripted gameplay OFF.
Don’t bother wasting money on the game
SDS, it’s been long enough - revert the patch or fix hitting
Should I buy 20?
Best way to mine stubs
SDS please, the game needs MAJOR adjustments not “slight”
It’s sad
It’s sad
It cant be just me but the pitching and hitting feedback is awful
GAME IS TRASH YET AGAIN
Let’s try some reverse psychology
New patch:
Building lineups has more potential

When can we fix hitting
