    Wonder why people complain?

    If you enjoy baseball, and this is an amazingly brilliant animated simulation, then you turn on the game expecting to have fun. At least an enjoyable experience. But more times than not, the game leaves you frustrated, puzzled, bored and sometimes even angry. So you turn it off. But you love baseball, so you turn it back on, hoping to have fun. It is a game, right? Games should be fun. Imo, the game needs drastic changes to appeal to the majority of the ones who spent money on it. Maybe SDS could start by listening to the ones playing the game. And their complaints.

    Sds, should watch the movie....

    "Field of Dreams?" That's a stadium of dreams, or something. It's just a stadium with a cornfield. The house is in the wrong place, should be bleachers, not grandstand, there should be no outfield fence, and what's up with all the greenhouses? On a farm?

    Ugh this needs some improvement

    Last night, I hit a perfect/perfect for a foul ball.

    Pitchers are horrible..

    These TA moment pitchers are ridiculously wild. After 3 or 4 pitches, way outside of the zone, they throw 1 on the edge. Then more wild pitches. I've played and watched baseball my whole life, and never seen pitchers so all over the place. Add that he keeps throwing over to first and it equals a lot of wasted time.

    RE: What? How in the world....

    Ooh, my team was in extra innings? I didn't think about that. Ok. Obviously my team is probably better without me.

    Another trash game...

    Just played a guy whose 8-24, I got 8 hits 0 runs off Degrom, and a perfect game through 8, and of course, after a hit batter (1-2 count) a couple bunts, a fake throw, another perfect bunt with infield in, he wins. What a cheesy trash game this is. Also 99 Walker and 99 Soriano are a combined 6 for 58, 0 home runs. Just trash. 🗑

    RE: How do I add a player I purchased to my line up?

    I think that's just one question. But it is weird making your lineup. Sometimes you have to take a bench player, move him to the position of the player you would like to replace in the lineup. Then go over and click on that card and make the change. For example, if you want Griffey (centerfield card) as CF, click on current centerfielder card and make the change, or in the lineup, move current CF to bench and click on card of player from bench in the lineup to make the change. Hope that makes sense and what your looking for.

    More Degrom please....

    Please everyone keep starting Degrom. First it was annoying, but I'm racking up wins.

    RE: Ratings?

    @dolenz_psn said in Ratings?:

    @scottd_3ds_psn said in Ratings?:

    Does anyone have any idea how ratings are calculated? If you add all 17 of 95 Trout and divide by 17, you get a 74. If you add all 13 of 94 Ohtani, divided by 13 gives you an 81. 94 Aaron Judge, 71
    96 Longoria, 73. 88 Griffey, 65. All about 22-23 short of the rating.

    Not only are attributes weighted differently but the weighting is based on position, for example power is weighted more heavily for a first baseman than it is for a shortstop.

    That is why comparing players of different position is usually not the best measurement.

    Now I'm more confused. I'm not sure what weighted means. It seems like comparing players by their attributes isn't a good measurement either. So basically you guys are saying the ratings are mystical and magical.

    RE: Ratings?

    @savefarris_psn said in Ratings?:

    Some things (contact, power) are weighted higher than others (bunt, durability)

    Hmm, curious to see the formula they use. Because the numbers they show, don't add up. Even the xp upgrades don't add up. My Betts is a +4 but only a 95-98, if it's plus 4 to all attributes, why isn't he a 99 with plus 4. SDS can't add?

    RE: Best hitters in the game that you can't hit with.

    @d_e_m_i_s_e_psn said in Best hitters in the game that you can't hit with.:

    Delgado is just above .300 which besides Ruth that I just started with makes him my worst hitter by quite a ways. Gonna use him anyway.

    My Delgado is just above .300, too. And he's my best hitter.

    RE: Does anyone understand?

    @jkooch66_xbl said in Does anyone understand?:

    I think it has to do with your opponent's rating compared to yours. If you beat someone higher rated you go up more, if you lose to someone lower rated you go down more, etc

    Hmm, that could be. I just played a guy 363 and I'm 474, I only got +27, he got a 0. So your probably right.

    Does anyone understand?

    How are the ratings calculated at the end of a RS game? I've had anywhere from +48 to -48, I won 2 games in a row +48, then I lost 2 games -32 and -37. I don't get it, just seems like more of the games random weirdness. Does anyone have a clue?

    Imagine doing something you hate every day and not even getting paid for it.

    This is what I don't understand. In how many other aspects of life would you continue to do a hobby that you didn't enjoy doing, by choice?

    The thing is, it's supposed to be baseball. If you enjoy baseball, you keep playing the game, because your expecting and hoping to have fun. That's why people complain about the game. It's supposed to be fun, you go into each game expecting to have fun, but are disappointed, frustrated and angry, more times than not.

    But if you're not having fun at all, why keep doing it? I like eating pizza, but if I'm eating a pizza that tastes like [censored], I'm gonna stop eating it.

    Are you serious? I just tried to explain why. Sometimes it is fun. Sometimes it's not. So if I'm eating a pizza that tastes bad, I might complain, but I won't stop eating pizza. But your saying, you wouldn't complain about a bad tasting pizza? And you would never eat another pizza? You'd miss out on some good pizza. So I keep playing, hoping and expecting a tasty pizza, I mean, a good game.

    Winning = fun when you lose = game is trash go to forums to complain

    Somewhat, but not totally true. Hitting, scoring, pitching in and out of jams, lead changes, baseball=fun
    Flyout, ground outs, foul balls, at 'em balls, strike outs=boring trash game
    Community forum=complain all you want, that's what it's here for

    RE: **Competitive and Recreational RS Options**

    @bjd10048842_psn said in **Competitive and Recreational RS Options**:

    SDS can have it both ways - just add a "recreational" version of RS and make the current RS input-based where "stick skills reign supreme".

    Comp:

    • More Input-Based Results
    • Rewards are buffed (packs, stubs, XP etc for reaching Wild Card, DS, CS and WS)
    • Difficulties progress as you advance
    • Record gets kept and visible to opponents

    Recreational

    • Causal gaming with the level of RNG we're experiencing now.
    • Rewards for reaching new divisions are less than Comp version, no player rewards like WS.
    • Maybe overall team rating limit of 93? Maybe 6 innings?
    • Veteran and All-Star difficulties
    • Losses result in less of a "decrease" in rating, so if you grind out wins you can make the higher divisions.
    • record can be viewed like events, but doesn't show up on your team screen when loading into game, resets each season in leader boards.

    I don't always have the time, energy, or stress management levels to play a full game of zeroed-in laser-focus RS, but would love to get some practice or casual at bats in with my top players.

    That way people can choose if they wanna play w the pros for the buffed rewards, or practice in the rec version for lesser-ish awards.

    Not sure how anyone could object to this, people would self-select which mode they want to play without being limited to full 9-inning RS games on certain difficulties.

    Maybe they'd have a HOF and All-Star option so you could practice. Sucks that I have to switch between HOF and All-Star cold turkey here and there since I'm in Division Series and hover between the two.

    There's already a casual online mode.
