SDS,

DON'T hurry to fix mini seasons or the myriad of bugs/crashes/glitches in the game.

DON'T communicate with us in any meaningful way about what's wrong with the game.

DON'T apologize to those who paid a premium for 4 days' early access to a broken game.

But RUN to fix "the market" to ensure that persistent monetization is not threatened.

Shout out, SDS!

You forgot to attach your resume.

I actually kind of enjoy this troll. Harmless, tongue-in-cheek stuff. Well done.

@schnauzerface said in Trout, its been real bruh!:

3-year average my buttocks.

THIS. What the actual [censored].

In the meantime, Taylor Trammel shoots up seven points.

WITH 38 AT BATS.

SDS is on crack this year with these updates, period.

The first QOL enhancement should be an filter to see duplicate cards.

As a teacher, it would take me a decade , to arrive at 40k per year in the State of Idaho. And that's not a living wage here either. But I understand. 70k would be very difficult to get by on in California.

Move to Canada. Our dipshit teachers average 88K/year here. That doesn't include gold plated benefits and pension

I definitely didn’t get into the right profession,Teachers here have it [censored] good. A year round salary even though you don’t work in the summer, any time you whine the government throws tax payers dollars at you, and all you have to do is babysit for about 5 hours of the day.

So much disinformation!

I actually get the summer, 2 weeks for Christmas, 2 weeks for Spring Break, a 4 day Easter break, and various other days off.

And it's more like 6-7 hours a day.

But if you have a stack of essays to grade, which is the running normal for me, and had to prep for the year during summer break, which almost all teachers do, you'd understand that it's a job where you take your work home with you almost constantly. And the stress of being "on" all the time is real.

But do enjoy my summers!

Worst change SDS made to single player DD this year: cpu pitchers on rookie difficulty throwing absolute garbage most of the time. Makes grinding a chore. Way to make single-player grinding feel more like moments, SDS. Ugh.

THAT'S what I'm complaining about today.

It's "whoever," not "whomever."

Lol...WHAT. Also I should be able to smash a homer when I'm down in the 7th lol. The game is massively flawed but come on.

Go watch mlb. Show me evidence of a consistent dirt ball that wasn't accidentally thrown on a plus count or even count with less than 2 strikes.

Uh, it's a video game in competitive mode. Competitive mode. Why on earth would you strip back basic options?

This isn't Madden's cover-2 deep zone not working and people spamming deep outs.

It's you swinging at absolute garbage.

Don't swing.

(By the way, I guarantee you that if actual MLB players swung at this stuff, pitchers would never throw strikes. Stop swinging.)

Their non-communication has been atrocious. Fixing the mini seasons bug and dezombifying the tutorials are musts. Telling the community they're aware and working on it also should be a must. You want to be a live service game, treat your consumers respectfully when you put out hot garbage.

POTM is really the only engaging thing with DD so far this year. Programs have SUCKED. Team Affinity is a big letdown. RS is a [censored] show. BR is fine, you just work the program. Events have been okay.

I'll enjoy grinding POTM but I'm really disengaged at this point. SDS has dropped the ball this year, DD has regressed.

@jacky-chan1_xbl said in Pitchers defensive?:

No. It's fine as is. Also it depends on the human player too

Uh, no it doesn't. The pitcher's a vacuum cleaner on steroids in this game, and it's all auto-animation.

Never happen, that's too "Merica" for any tech company. Sad but true.

This thread is pathetic with the third-grade back and forth. The internet really does bring out the worst in people. Sheesh.

It's so [censored] stupid. Get it out, SDS. Frustrating enough that the game is an at-em ball fest, with frozen ropes warping right to fielders way too often. This on top of it...sheesh.

Yeah, I don't notice it in H2H, but I've mostly been playing BR and Events. RS I find frustrating.

Single player DD, though, this has been happening a lot lately.

So [censored] stupid.

I'm still gonna go the short pudgy catcher for the Blue Jays. Look at his stats at the start of June and then today. Wow.

But Schwarbs should get a MA card. Yordan would too if his live series wasn't already the same rating.

No, I'm not talking about when they bail you out. I'm talking about the opposite.

Several times TODAY while grinding Conquest I squared up pitches, good-perfect timing in the meat of the PCI, and the [censored] CPU checks the swing for NO [censored] REASON.

This has been happening a lot lately.

I've come to terms with the game rewarding my frozen ropes by beaming them right to fielders who barely have to move. I've come to terms with all cpu fielders this year being prime Ozzie Smith in the IF and Kevin Keiermeirs in the OF.

But don't enforce [censored] check swings out of nowhere.

That's absolute [censored].

Fix it.

My recommendation would be to just quit if you notice lag. I do this ALL the time and have a losing record. Idc I am not wasting my time playing some fool in Europe or some other country. They shouldn't even be able to connect if there not in the USA.

They're ... not there..... MERICA !

If you're ( see how I spelled that) going to make us look ignorant , at least don't make us look that ignorant.

Vulgar misuse of the word "ignorant."

And you really should add a question mark in your parenthetical interruption (which should probably be set off with em dashes, actually).

Meh, have had arthritis in my shoulder since a nasty stinger in high school football in 1991.

This psoriasis, though -- just found out my insurance won't cover the only thing that smashes it, UVB phototherapy. Nice! Guess I'll walk around like a leper until it clears up. Good for the humility!
