Why should you care if you get a free win?? If I’m getting hammered why should I waste my time? I’ll take the L and start another game. Not sure how I’m not accepting my loss. I’m accepting it and moving on.
And the timing window is a huge issue. Fastballs are near impossible to hit because of a broken timing window/latency issues.

It’s over Johnny. Two options are to play and accept it or stop till next year. I play a little bit but don’t care nearly as much as I have in years past.
@austinotterpop said in Happy Patch Day everyone:
You’d rather be bored than play a game that has a challenging hitting patch? Rough
More like broken on so many levels. Stop making excuses.
Well they never said much before about problems they were working on and now they have even more cover. It’s hard to blast them too hard when real life is pretty f***** up right now. My issue is that every year we have problems with the basic gameplay mechanics that by now should be way more polished than they are. It makes me question the level of competency the programmers working for SDS have.

Except most of people’s complaints up until last week were about hitting, that’s all I’ve defended, fielding needs work, pitching needs tweaks, hitting is fine if it stays like this, still a heck of a lot better than anything we’ve had the last couple years

Hitting is far from fine
Happy to see something about hitting in these patch notes. The timing window definitely needed a tweak so let’s hope.

The hitting seems right on point this year. The game is pretty good.
Lol
@Nats19Champions said in Update 1.11 Discussion:
Hopefully this update marks the end of “freeze offs” and being called out when you beat a throw by 5 steps. I also hope there is a major crackdown on RS cheating. Fingers crossed.
Enough with the cheating crapola. You sound like a broken record.
I play NBA 2K as well and you can totally tell that the CPU will give your opponent a “window” to get back into a game. Anyone who thinks certain games don’t have that built in are very naive.
Had a ranked game tonight with a total of 9 home runs between us. It’s still a slug fest followed up by a game that nobody can score. I played 14 ranked games plus some offline grinding. I’m done for a little while.
@gamingishyouz said in Unhandled server exception occurred:
Same here. Game is broke and it just came out
You must be new here?? Lol
Probably buy a $100 worth and that will be good for awhile. This is one of four games I play and the money isn’t an issue so once in awhile I will treat myself to a few stubs.

@joshjays44_psn said in So the graphics aren’t much better wow.:
Console fanboys, its only gonna get better if it comes to PC. You casual PS5/Xbox guys will be stuck at the same graphical settings for another 5 to 7 years with basically no graphically progression.
Did you take lessons to be such an insufferable d-bag or does it come naturally??
@tvsectog_psn said in New monitor. Need help:
HDMI 2.1 is required for 4k@120fps, which is the max for the new generations of consoles. The game might not support it this year, but it will eventually. Getting HDMI 2.1 right now makes sense as it makes sure that the TV/monitor can last through the whole lifecycle of the new consoles until they do a console refresh in 4-5 years that has HDMI 2.2/3/4 .... whatever the HDMI standard is then for 8k@120 or 4k@240 or 4k@360. Also for Xbox users Microsoft is up-scaling to 120fps. https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/28/21272937/microsoft-xbox-series-x-automatic-hdr-support-framerates Microsoft is upscaling at the OS level. There might be a few TV's that support HDMI 2.1 right now, but only one that I found is faster than a gaming monitor, which means there was only one TV for me.

This is the same response you posted on the other thread. 4K/60fps will be just fine for this game. I love how you keep talking about your magic tv like it’s some big secret. Lol
Unless you want to spend a lot of money right now, now is a bad time to get a new monitor as a slew of new monitors are about to come out, yet are not out yet. You will want a monitor with HDMI 2.1 (so it can run 4k@120hz in the future), yet there only a few HDMI monitors out right now. They were announced at CES in January, yet haven't hit the market yet. I did a lot of research in this area, and only found one worth getting, and it wasn't a monitor, yet a TV that was faster than a gaming monitor. It is expensive, yet worth it. It has the speed to be able to hit anything, and the sharpness of the images let's me see the spin on the ball. It is the best of both worlds, and also has HDMI 2.1.

This game will not be running at 4K/120fps this year or most likely any year. Lots of great monitors and tv’s that can play this game and anything else the PS5 or Xbox Series X has to offer. As far as the PS5 goes I don’t think a lot of games are going to be shooting for 4K/120fps. This gen will be a stable 4K/60fps with the ocassional title being able to offer more. I don’t think buying an expensive monitor/tv is worth it at this point.

@sean_87__psn said in So the graphics aren’t much better wow.: @tvsectog_psn said in So the graphics aren’t much better wow.: The big graphic improvements would likely come in '22, not '21, as there wasn't enough of the new consoles in late '20 and '21 for them to fully optimize the game for them. There is also the global chip shortage slowing down the arrival of more systems, so maybe not a really big graphics boost until '23? Anyway, SDS had to do two big application ports this year, and also cross-play, so they had their hands full this year on the development side. This year they are just laying the foundation and then can optimize the game over the next few years. They deserve big kudos for all the work they did this year, as they had some heavy software development tasks this past year. This is what I have been trying to tell people. The game really won’t see a next gen upgrade for a couple of years. It won't take years, but yes, some time. They couldn't make too many big graphic changes this year because the application port so they could have Xbox/Xbox Series S/X, PS4 and PS5 all available was a lot of work. They also cross-play those platforms, and the new platforms are also hard to get, so just releasing the game on all the platforms had to be their first big win. They couldn't add too many features into the new platforms that were not there on the older platforms or people wouldn't see a reason to play if they didn't have a newer system. Get everyone to play this year, then do another big upgrade this year....and I also expect this year is going to be a ton of fun in a completely different way. I definitely think '21 is worth buying, because I think it will be a big win in it's own way. Coincidentally, no big graphic updates were needed this year, because there are no gaming monitors, and only 2 TV's that would be worth having right now to play the game on in 4k detail. All the 4k new monitors and TV's worth playing the game on won't be out for another 2 - 9 months, so I agree with the development decisions SDS made for '21.

Not sure what you are talking about but there are plenty of tv’s and monitors that can run this game in 4K/60fps. If you mean monitors with HDMI 2.1 that really won’t apply to this game. This won’t be running at 120fps.
Zzzzzzzz....No thanks
@surfinsantacruz_xbl said in Is Pulse Pitching in 21?:
Can someone from SDS please answer?
It was in the “test” so I would assume it will be. I just think it’s being excluded from these new features since it’s really easy to use.
