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.

@joshjays44_psn said in Timing issues:

Nope, Hitting and pitch timing is on point in this year's game. With testing the feedback window, even before it even goes up I can tell if I'm early or just early or good and I'm on Legend at pitch speeds at 10. If you feel the timing is off from looking at the feedback you might have what I call "privileged casual noob syndrome", where your "skills" don't match up with the results you're seeing so you look for some kind of blame...so obviously you blame the game's mechanics and not user skill. Don't worry "privileged casual noob syndrome" is quite common in today's instant gratification world but there is a cure.........practice and get gut! Or maybe stop playing The Show on a TV and get yourself a decent monitor

Thanks for chiming in you walking talking d-bag

*** There are no changes to gameplay in this update. ***

Unbelievable. Are these guys for real? I'm beginning to think that they're incompetent of improving an already disastrous game. Online gameplay is where the wildfire is at, but they rather deal with the trash bin caught on fire in the parking lot where there are no parked cars and is not significant enough to put any surrounding structures at risk of any danger.

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.

Whatever. See you tomorrow!

Bro delete the Gamer Tag ASAP! It's against the TOS unfortunately. But I agree with you 200%

F their ToS. They need to clean up their toxic online player base.

@Rambo_11k said in The people defending this game have been silenced:

The amount of posts all reporting the same BS happening has overwhelmed the defenders and they are out of excuses.

We now even have real MLB players disgusted by the gameplay, great idea by the way SDS.

I think we deserve an apology, after all, we were right and your excuses proved to be nothing but fake news.

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

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.

@cardinals588 said in I see what you guys mean, this isn't baseball:

The hitting seems right on point this year. The game is pretty good.

Lol

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

@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.

@mrwonderful95 said in Ranked seasons is terrible this year...:

OMG. No hit variety, constant strike out or home run. SDS come on, be better. So boring....

It sounds like it may be a quality of competition issue? Maybe try against better players and see if you see better results?

Please explain to me what control he has over who he gets matched up with.

@furiousacorn216 said in The game’s not bad:

You are. Go play madden and 2K where you can 100-0 and be happy. Or don’t. It’s your life.

The game has some serious flaws on various levels. The fact you choose to ignore them is on you.

My son just packed him today from a Ballin pack. He was beyond thrilled.

@misfits_138_1_psn said in Do NOT Make this Mistake...:

A few weeks ago I made a comment that I thought was totally innocent.
It had the vaguest societal overtone-- something that would have been easily dismissed a few years ago.
But we live in a time where you have to gauge literally every single word you say and write.
I don't blame SDS for suspending me for two weeks. They have a brand to protect.

Take my advice. Keep your social commentary to yourself, even if it has baseball overtones.
But uniforms with genetalia and secretions are fine.
(Man, I probably just got myself suspended AGAIN!)

Didn’t miss you the first time ‍️

The game is not in a good place, and I feel the only thing keeping even harsher criticism from happening is the state of the USA right now. People are understandably frustrated but those with a brain realize that an underperforming video game is not the end of the world. I’m happier that my family is safe and we still have jobs to pay the bills.

Something feels off since the last patch in my opinion.
