They just put him in the game and his buy now price is 5K already??? Wow

@dunkypunch25_psn said in Any tips on hitting?:

Are you using zone?

Yes I am using zone. Strike Zone camera. Pci is wedge, and I'm using diamond or altitude.

I'm not the best hitter by any means but man I've only been playing against the CPU and they are catching everything. I'm early, I'm late and I'm perfect and the ball finds the glove 9.5 times out of 10. Oh and did I mention I've only been playing the CPU. So conquest, feature program moments and showdown. I can't bye consistent hits no matter my swing result.

It's been a while since I've posted on here. But I've been playing quite a bit of this game. And with the life cycle of this game coming to a close. I just kind of want to give my thoughts in this game this year. First of all I got the early access I preordered this game. And I've played very consistently. But the biggest thing outside of the online play and all the craziness that comes with it. I think the 350K xp to get the the inning boss pack is too much. I really liked the 300 stars I felt like that was really attainable for all types of players casual and very hardcore players. So far out of all the inning bosses I've only been able to get Troy Glaus. I want Hank Aaron but look I have a job that I spend 8 hours sometimes more. Then I come home and play for a few hours before I got to bed and that's still not enough play time grind and put in that work to get reach 350K XP for an inning program boss. I get it there are people like youtubers who get paid for streaming this game and that's their job but for regular people like me who don't put real life money into this game after purchasing it and they want to have fun and still be competitive. It's really a struggle to try and enjoy it.

Also what the heck happened to the ability to go back to inning programs that have already pass? That's was a game changer right there. Why take that away? I know last year's game I missed like 1 or 2 innings and I was able to go back and grind online or offline to get those 300 star inning bosses. I really miss being about to do that.

@cudasport_xbl said in Got 5 Good/Good results in a row and not 1 accounted for a hit.:

No matter what I've played since the last patch was done good/good is an out, don't even think oh maybe!!! No, it's an out. But yet, an early swing that is not even on the pci can be a homer... other than that have to be perfect/ perfect to get a hit!!!

Which is pretty bad if you ask me. I honestly don't know their mindset at this company and how they are ok with how trash the hitting is.

All I was playing the Alan Trammell moments where you had to get 6 Hits with one XBH. Why did I get 5 Good/Good results in a row and not one of them were a hit? I guess timing really doesn't matter in this game especially in offline play. I bet if I got 7 perfect/perfect in a town none of them would be a hit either. Idk what their logic is over there at SDS but it ain't it.

I mean like no matter if it RS or Events. I'm facing lineups full of parallel 3 or better cards. I don't have time to sit in my gaming chair for 6-10 hours a day to play this game and grind until have card paralleled. Now I know BR is a more balanced mode as far as squad itself. But still I have to spend stubs to play that mode. I just want something where I can play against others online but I don't want to be at a humongous disadvantage because someone has a line up full of parallel 3 or better cards. While I only have 1 card at P2. I'm not gonna say that parallels ruined this game because it gives something players to grind for. But in the same breath I can see a huge disadvantage for players like myself who cant sit and play this game 6-12 hours a day.

Yeah just look at a Conquest (or vrs CPU) game on Rook, then Vet, then AS. You'll notice more balls as you go up, but on 3/2 counts less walks as you go up. Makes sense right? What could possibly be the reasoning for Moments pitchers to consistently get you to 3 - 0, 3 - 1 counts, walking you at least half the time if not more, when so far there's only been what, one Moment so far that counted "get on base x times".

Yeah, the total bases moments are the worst. As you get close, the pitchers seem to start every at bat 3-0. The runners ahead of you stop at second and you’re held to a single, or they’ll score but the play will be ruled a FC and you only get one bag regardless.

It's so ridiculous. I have things like this happen all the time.

If I got paid to rate this game this year. I would give it a 4 out of 10. What did IGN give it? I'm curious. I want to go back to MLB the show 17. That was a fun game and actually felt less stressful and you were rewarded for being good at the game as far as gameplay. Every year since 18 this series had gotten worse. I absolutely hate the perfect/perfect line out to infielders in moments when the ball you hit was up in the zone. That's so annoying to me probably the biggest annoyance with this game. So freaking frustrating!

You see this thread SDS????? I'm not the only one who feels this way about moments!!! Moments are straight garbage it doesn't play the same like other modes in the game. You all have really ruined the fun in this game the way moments play.

When I say that I mean everything is super challenging. It's like they turned up the differently on this stuff. The player programs Williams and Cruz seem to be way too hard eventhough it says rookie for most of the moments. Pitchers don't throw strikes in moments where you need to get XBH or HRs. Why do they give us pitchers who don't throw strikes? I rather face a pitcher who has outlier in moments where I need to score runs, get RBIs or get extra base hits. All this nonsense of get pitchers who don't throw the ball in the freaking zone or them hitting our batter and even just keep on throwing over to first base is super annoying and a waste of time. SDS please listen to the community. We are not having fun. All I've been seeing is people complaining about how awful moments are. I thought games were supposed to be fun and not this frustrating.

Yeah I'm skipping today's daily moment. It is oddly challenging trying to score a run against a pitcher who doesn't throw strikes. Let's hope tomorrow moments is a bit easier and less frustrating.

I think I figured out my issue, I just gotta use contact swing in order for a hit to drop. Smh!

Come on, Rookie differently I get a good/good middle of the of the pci right in the middle of the freaking strike zone. Ball is clearly over the outfielder's head, but runners on base just stand there in the middle of the bases. Oh yeah I needed at extra base hit. This should have been an easy two bagger I knew the ball was gonna be a hit after it left the bat. They really make these moments for us to do over and over and over and over and over again until we pull your hair out. User input does not matters with moments they programmed these moments for us to do a certain amount of times. Let user input matter!

@savefarris_psn said in Finishing my very first ever Division collection and I am a no money spent account.:

Congrats.

Thanks!

Just a little humble brag I'm pretty proud of myself this year. Now every year since Diamond Dynasty started I put extra towards the game after launch. And I never completed a division collection whatsoever I've done starting team collection but never division collection. I can honestly say before the weekend is over I will have completed the NL Central collection without putting any extra money into the game after it's release. I'm so pumped and proud of myself I don't think I ever imagined me actually finishing a Division collection and on top of that the reward is Ernie Banks and I am also a die Hard CUBS Fan! I am so happy right now that I am so close. I just have to finish off the Cards and Brew Crew collections. I think I need about four more bronze for each team! Let's Go!!!!

I had the headliner pack featuring Dan Plesac but didn't get him. But my last standard pack I pull this card. Is he worth keeping? All his of his attributes are 89 and above except his stamina. How many have used him? And is he good for a budget bullpen?

@thaghettoblasta said in They really expect us to hit 2HR off of the Dodgers pitching staff?:

Eventually you beat it! Once you hit your first homerun, go into the second game needing only one HR. Just keep dashboarding before the final out until you hit that final homerun.

Yeah but it's still annoying and it's so confusing to me why they would pick this to be a moment. Like could they pick any other moment in his career? But if they did decide to do this moment why do it against this pitching staff?

Wow come on SDS what is your thinking process when it comes to moments? I noticed pitchers change when redoing moments. For example hitting at least one home run off of parallel to Walker Buehler when his velocity is at 99 and his control is is 57? I'm not gonna get anything to hit. Nuts! Also he's at parallel 2 while Dave Parker is at no parallel

@l3odysn4ch4_psn said in Don't know how people play this competitively online?:

I’m currently in a 2-2 freeze off on the top of the 12th.... yeah that still happens apparently

Yeah SMH. I just can't I don't have the patience.
