best advice I can give is to not tune into a stream while your playing. it can really add to the pressure. I'm not sure your age but alot of streamers are younger with an even younger fanbase. alot of immature attitudes. we have all been smoked on stream . just keep practicing, don't let this 1 experience discourage you .

They will do like they always do and watch the metrics. If strikeouts are too high for the average player, they will change stuff. People need to keep in mind that SDs is a business and will do what is necessary to keep the majority of their customers happy.

If you really want a purely skill based competition, go play actual baseball. this is a video game and a consumer product first, a competitive game second.

Someone here understands business

Sure, they could tailor the game to fit the 5-10% of players that think this game is more important than their wife sitting in the other room watching her life slowly slip away, questioning her life decisions.

But, those of us with money, focus on other things. Thus, the game will tailor to the majority.

Sorry basement dwellers

1700 ranked games played. that's the definition of a basement dweller. weird flex attempt

Really? Covid didn't have you locked up for a year?

1700!!!!!!! I'm not even close to that. I was locked up for just over 500. do some math. 1700÷365= 4.6 games per day. 45 minutes a game roughly
. that's almost 3.5 hours per day on the game. if you take a day off that's 7 hours the next day. I dont care what disease is floating around 1700 is for basement dwellers.

I'd just rather they fix the super sink sinker on outlier sinkers at the top of the zone.

Over check swings?! No way. The high sinkers is not unhittable - it’s OP but it’s not unhittable. The check swing is game breaking

Nah, check swings happen. Sinkers sinking at 100 above the zone into the zone do not.

Check swings do not happen 65 x in 1 game at an 85% success rate.

Maybe you should pitch in the zone more? I have never seen 65 check swings in a game. However, there is a possibility it could happen in real life no matter how probable it would be. As far as physics, a sinker would not be able to move in such a manner thrown that way.

pitch in the zone more?? get real. if I have you off balance checkswinging all day I'll continue to throw balls. you guys are in for a rude awakening when 21 drops. 10-15 Ks a game.

take the win and move on

Glavine is so dirty..
I hope they make Maddux what he should be based on this. Pinpointing the $#!+ out of hitters

not sure if you've faced the gold maddux yet. saw him on legend and he's nasty. 99 OVR will be a god this year

all the scrubs coming in complaining about check swings. get better!! the skill gap has been increased this year. people are realizing they're not as good as they think they are. great job SDS

up by 1 bottom 3 2 out going for my 9th win in BR
disconnected. what a joke. you guys need to get a handle on your servers. unacceptable

I have 9 wins but my BR program is showing 7 is there anything I can do or I'm SOL I wish SDS would comment on something jesus

same with glare. just pick day or night. ridiculous that they allow it

@eatyum_psn said in Why this game is an absolute joke:

I want to make it clear I'm not defending that, I would be livid as well. However, how is it possible to make it never happen? The only way would be all good pci is hits and all bad pci are outs, otherwise this scenario is bound to happen at some point.

And then we reward 12 PCI with the game winner in the top of the 9th..

how do you think the diamondbacks won the world series Gonzalez had a 7 PCI hit.

the top players have better records than last year.
alot of people just aren't as good as they think they are. bigger skill gap this year scrubs getting exposed

so you want the game to be easier so everyone makes World series? you already get your 40 wins participation pack.
