As a cardinals fan it’s tough to say this but the reds have a good fan base. I’m 13, so not a ton of experience. Angels are big market team on the rise tho. Don’t quit baseball yet!

Well the Red Sox were the last team to integrate. They sound right up your alley.

The Red Sox cheated too, right? And they've won 4 World Series' since 2004, so I can't just jump on that bandwagon. Also, virtually no ties to Boston...never even been to New England, sadly.

I Love how they did with TA league levels, variety of Conquest Maps, Innings Programs, Player Programs & all the content which is easy to get as long as 1 is willing to grind for them.

But I do "HATE" how they made the game to be played better On-Line for those who uses Zone Hitting & either Meter, Analog or PinPoint Pitching. It's so much harder this year for average Joe's like me who rely only on Directional Hitting & Classic Pitching.

I "LOVED" RTTS in 14 & 15. They the ruined it with how 1 levels up based on situation outcome rather then using the sliders to level up how "YOU WANT TO". Then ruined even more with the Bro needed for perks.This year takes the prize with making it horribly worse with 2 way player. I "HATE" what RTTS has become.

Franchise has a nice clean fresh look with better & more in depth stat/info windows. But the game play is still the same as it's been for years. No re4al actual improvements to make you feel more like a GM. Can NOT do more then a 3 player trade or offer cash or a draft pick like REAL trading is done. Scouting sucks & really has no impact or effect on draft day. Managers & Coaches really dont do much either other then increase/decrease attributes slightly & how some FA players will feel when you trying to sign them.

MTO is BORING & DRAGGING going thru it. ONLY did it a few times for the TA Gate Points.

I'm on PS4 .... so I can not comment or critique on Stadium Creator or On-Line Leagues.

I tried playing a few games on CPU today for fun and I almost broke my controller out of frustration. This game is so [censored] broken. I cannot stand this piece of [censored] any longer. I will not buy ext years game. SDS has lost all credibility. Pure filth of a game.

see you tomorrow

I honestly can't locate a ball to hit to save my life now, in last 5 games ive struggled super hard, ive had 8 game win streaks on hall of fame so i still cannot tell if its me playing bad or the lag making the ball motions harder to locate

Matchmaking is either malfunctioning or I don’t understand it. I’m WC (or whatever 600s is) and in my most recent BR run, after 2-0 start I got matched with someone with the flawless banner; got trounced and then got scrubs until 7-1 or 8-1, and then yes I got demolished, which I expected every game once I reached 6 wins, which was my top result since 19. The new live event, first game I get a WS guy who could have spanked me like a rag doll if he didn’t play like an idiot, probably because of overconfidence. That’s what I like about RS and the controllable difficulty slider, I can climb up and down with guys around my level, and the odd super player who tanks in the lower rankings.

Battle royale is not based on your ranked season record/rank. It is only based on your current battle royale run. So if you are 2-0 in that run, they try to match you with someone else who is 2-0 in their run. Same thing for events.

They should still weigh in your background; why do I start an event/BR first game at 1500/1600 level and earlier they started at 1300/1400? I’ve never run in previous years in WS or Flawless guy in the first 3-4 games; this year twice in a row

Ok think about it this way, the mlb average for 2 teams is around 4 combined homeruns. I’ve seen games where 17 to 20 homeruns are hit in this game. I understand it’s a game but of it was realistic do you think SDS would still be making it

@BuddyHightower_XBL

I appreciate it. I play Franchise and RTTS too, but I do like Diamond Dynasty...90% of it anyway. I don't want to stop playing altogether just because of the home run issue.

At the end of the day it is a video game...so I say abandon the simulation attempt altogether in that case. If 75% of hits are home runs, then a perfectly timed fastball should go exactly where I controlled it to. Either it’s a simulation or it’s an arcade game. You can’t be both. If pitcher input only matters a little, to simulate what’s it really like, then turn the home run frequency from an 8 to a 4.
