I agree it can be challenging, but I'm going to try to give a constructive reply.

The thing with the A.I. is, the first few pitches of an at bat, and of the game, dictate what the pitch mix is going to be going forward. If you chase one out of the zone early, you can expect to be a marked man and delivered a majority of balls the rest of the way, and, this is important, on any REPEAT tries for that moment, and every consecutive at bat going forward. This is why if you quit out and comeback later, you almost always have an easier time than you did when the CPU gave you everything in the dirt.

Also, certain pitchers are "junk ball" pitchers, at least as far as the game is coded, and some are low ball pitchers, some high, some have flat fastballs, and some break down, etc.

Anyway, if you chase early or at all, expect a sh^t show and quit out if it gets really bad and is trying you patience, and try to see what that particular pitcher is throwing that is causing you to chase.

I'm mediocre at the game, but have finished every moment, and though some are harder than others, I have a very good grasp on what the A.I. is trying to do. I hope this helps and don't get too discouraged!

Imagine the market crash if it was Cal?

Yesterday's action would pale in comparison.

Not sure what happened, but pinpoint pitching all of a sudden stopped working offline and online on all my xbox controllers, regular elite etc., after months of smooth play.

Tried wired, wireless, rebooted console, fresh batterries, etc., It's strange.

Can't complete any motions.

The active quirks are analagous to some of the perks you get in showdown, ie- increased exit velo on two strike counts, increased vision on first pitches, etc.

LG C1 is an incredible deal now that they slashed its price. I would grab one soon while you still can.

I have the same issue on Series X. After each play, the grass on the field flickers.

I'll post back on Thursday to let you know, if anyone cares.

Please do.

On all Wainwright moments, just hold the PCI to the very bottom of the zone and power swing.

Not sure if anyone else submitted a bug report for this issue, but I have.

I am on Xbox Series X using Dolby Vision, and still see the flashing grass animations after most pitches when using any created stadiums. The issue seems to be more prominent on fields with more elaborate grass patterns. I did not have this issue in MLBTS 21.

Sure.

I'll sign!

Fix the homonym and comma, YOU’RE better than this.

It's technically a homophone, however.

Tell me we are getting a 2 way finest Willians Astudillo card for the Twins.

And give him his god-like palm ball.

I'm so angry it is Trout. I despise online play. I doubt many people who earn him will sell him. It's going to be like Chipper Jones last year. I though SDS was trying to prevent this from happening?

I’m not thrilled about it either as I would like to play with the card and it impacts my ability to collect every card, but it isn’t the end of the world if there is a card that is tough to get without grinding RS and rewards online players.

Won’t be as bad as last year because of the reward program. Some people will even pull him twice this season.

This.

There are a lot of good players with buy orders in, who will make world series and win 30 games. That, coupled with a lot of players grinding out 30 wins will put a large number of them in the market. RS will be full of quick quits and tank n ranks.

If you haven't played much or any RS, I'd say give it a shot. In the beginning you'll be matched against a ton of new players and lots of easy wins and quits. 30 wins will come pretty easy, especially if you're already a patient offline grinder. Just take your God Squad out there and take some hacks. Easy peezy!

I think he’s the definition of a cracked card.

@soonermagic78_xbl said in For players who have Xbox Series X and PS5:

Xbox series x controller doesn’t work properly. I use my wired Xbox one controller and it works great. Kinda strange though

FYI There is a fix for this. I found that you can revert the xbox series x/s wireless controller firmware back to the previous version before the update and it will work again. Xbox has the feature built in to the system, just need to Google the youtube video.

The performance difference between the two systems is almost assuredly due to the input lag reduction afforded by monitors/tv's that are in Variable Refresh Reduction mode, regardless of resolution and screen refresh rates and whether the game is capped or uncapped at 60hz online, which it IS (and has been on both XBOX Series X and PS5).

And for the past year+, Xbox Series X has had VRR available online and offline for MLBTS 21/22. So the real performance gains should be seen when VRR is implemented for PS5 online.

To see the difference in input latency/lag, just look at the VRR columns in the RTTS input lag tests and you can see that the latency when using VRR is a whopping half of (or twice as fast) as the input lag of monitors/tv's in non-VRR mode.

Take for example:

LG OLED C1 - 10.6ms (4K 60Hz) 5.6ms (4K VRR)

I anticipate that SDS will implement VRR into the online modes for PS5 now that the feature has been made available for them to do so, and all of the current hullaballoo over the feature will soon be forgotten.
