I think I've played the show 1 Friday in the last two months and I was bored to death and felt like I wasted a Friday.

So many things caused me not to play anymore including the cheating. I quit playing online before I quit playing all together. I actually canceled my live ps membership.

I found that because of all the cheating noise I ended up feeling like EVERYONE was cheating. Like if I lost or someone rattled off some consecutive at bats.... "this cheating is some bs".... I know everyone isn't cheating but you play online and now you almost by default feel like nothing is on the up and up. Then if you do play better than your opponent they just dashboard and quit. Either way it's such a terrible experience.

I don't really blame sds so much as that just humans suck. The one discord Kyle showed is like 30k paid subscribers to cheat at a game. Assuming there are more sources than the one discord.

Idk, seems like a lost cause at this point.

Maybe if they overhaul franchise or create a DD online franchise where I don't have to play other humans then I'll buy that but I don't see the motivation for the show 27 as it stands now and I've been pretty loyal die hard DD guy since 2020

I haven't played since the bellinger asg collection basically. No field of dreams or prospect stuff. Playoffs have me wanting to play (offline)

I used to be an online guy but just too toxic for me to enjoy and I struggled finding fun with offline and even tried a franchise but didn't hit and I went to hockey and rdr2.

Going to give it another go.

Ive started with moments. I've never really taken a break since 2020

Trout still extreme pull? Buxton?

Trout is just pull

Buxton I believe is extreme pull

Jram and Albies are extreme pull from one side I believe and balanced on other

Alonso, Seager are extreme pull

This occurred to me the other day. I was watching RAW and it's excessive ads.

Is there a chance that sds puts commercials in ranked games between innings? Unskippable. Would that be the nail in the coffin for you?

I only play rdr2 and NHL so I'm not too familiar with how other games monetize.

I don't see a scenario where I buy MLB 27 unless they completely change DD and I don't know how they could change it to get me excited outside of a online franchise type thing.

I was just thinking with all the collections the lack of fixing the game unless it impacts Financials.... Would in game ads be the logical next step for SDS.

Game is built on sinkers cutters and change ups
.. What else is he to throw?

Curveballs are almost useless online

I haven't done one since 2019 or so. Converted to DD but now it's just not really fun and I'm going to try and go back to franchise.

It's weird that hitters all have bad attributes by comparison.

I don't really have a favorite team and did a draft with legends but not sure if I like that team and I picked twins and their budget is like 500m over. I doubt I'll play into next season but kills trades and offseason I guess.

Use downloaded rosters?

Idk I'm just not really into this game anymore and trying to find something fun while still keeping my skills halfway decent. Looking for ideas.

Not really feeling a point to DD any longer.

You're an adult. You're responsible for your 10 year old kid.

You blamed him, then you blamed your wife.

Game is in the dumps this year in a large part because of all this cheating, buying discount stubs, etc. Everyone should have been banned months or years ago however long its been happening

No excuses for cheating on a video game

6/30 on beltran
9/24 on Victor
14/21 on miggy

Live series I could prob have everything but judge and ohtani at this point.

I decided early on to not go after live series and no life the game. First year since 2020 or so I didn't get live series done within the first 6 weeks or so.

It's kindve a bummer to not get Beltran but it is what it is. My god squad team is still super good and if I can't best someone then I likely wouldn't beat them with Beltran anyways. Andruw Jones is just about as good minus the switch hitting.

So not the big a deal but compounds to the lack of motivation to play this year.

Will not be getting Beltran... Hopefully I can hit with Andruw

I'm behind on allot of stuff in my normally behind on

Ranked Def feels better to me then the event. Felt a lot of lag in the event and I warmed up on hof.

Maybe it counts people who have used these cards in br... Maybe once you use someone once in br you have"acquired" them

I don't bunt, I feel im more likely to get out than not

Why? Almost every online game I am constantly waiting on the other player. Long time before the game starts. In between every inning. A decent amount of time in between the opponent's at bats. I'm just trying to understand why anyone would just sit there and not progress the game.

I'm sure that I'm just missing something. It would annoy me less if I understood why.

Just quit.

I'm doing the multi-player program to get stats. I've got the event wins so the wins are irrelevant.

I just hit a grand slam (dashboard quit), the next game my 2nd at bat homerun (dashboard quit). I should have 2 hits, 8 total bases, 5 runs, and a lot of pxp but instead I have 0 of all of it.

It's extremely demotivating to play online in this current design.

Atleast let event wins be repeatable or something so I can get some type of progress in multi-player program. I can only play an extended amount of time on Fridays and this is gonna take centuries of every time I have a good game people disconnect.

What is this you're talking about?

I already bought and collected Albies. Will prob be end game dh/2b unless he gets another card. His leg kick makes it so easy to time things up that I could really care less how his attributes compare to any alternative

Had no problem people bunting me to death successfully.

Freddie Freeman perfect bunt to 2nd base lost me a game

I just barely beat a guy and he scored all his runs from bunting, pause stealing, and then if they are going to get caught stealing they just retreat and the catchers all seem to have some delay lag animation when that happens.

Bunting with Freddie Freeman and runners on 3rd and 1st. Both runners steal and Freeman perfect bunt to 2nd base with prob his 0 bunt rating. How are you supposed to defend Freddie Freeman bunts.

I guess everyone uses hader when they know it's broken. This bunt/steal stuff is broken with the slow catcher animations.

Its just generally not a fun experience and I don't understand why people play that way. I won, big whoop. Not a fun game playing someone like that

@ref479ode_PSN quick pitching isn’t cheating or anything. They will also do this an any online mode. No one is gonna give you the same look every pitch

What I described is toxic, exploit, bush league, lame, etc. Is it running a cpu program to play for you? No, but it's a loser way to play.

@ref479ode_PSN I don’t really run into a lot of bunt dancing unless it’s an event and it’s usually a weird series sweat. Dash-boarding gives you the win. Quick pitching is to contain the run game that isn’t a problem unless you can’t hit it.

Quick pitching is not to contain the run game it's to throw off batter timing and change the release point of the pitcher. What I'm referring to is when it's not relevant to a speedy runner on base. It's a bush league way to pitch imo. I don't mind it if it's to contain speed.

Dashboarding you get the win, sure. But alot of [censored] is stat based missions too. So if you hit a 3 run hr... It's annoying.

Yesterday I ended up winning a game by a good bit and it went all 9. They guy played good and didn't do anything weird but he dashboards after the last out. I'm sure he just turned his console off and went to bed but I wanted to see the hit analysis because I felt so locked in. I couldn't see that. So not a huge deal....

But when you play 5 or 6 weekend classic games in a row these things compound and in general it's a unpleasant experience all together.

I feel like a league wouldn't have all this dumb [censored] in it or the players would be booted for being annoying
