It seems to be a bug atm. Instead of playing in secondary position, the game makes it so your CAP plays out of position. Hopefully it gets patched soon.
Yeah I hope so, though I’m frankly not that confident. Seems like they have a lot of issues right now (ahem servers ahem). Sucks because that was one of the more fun aspects of DD in the past, and the players were viable for large chunks of the year, at least in MLB 20.
Hey everyone.
Seen a couple of posts about this but I’m still confused.
I made a ball player, and I want him to be a catcher. I grinded RTTS to get him to diamond and one of the preferred positions of the loadout is catcher. When I go to put him in my lineup as a catcher in DD, he even shows up in the secondary position menu. His fielding rating is 80 and all the other peripheral stats are also fairly high.
So why on earth is he dropping a majority of balls behind the plate? Is this a known issue? Has anyone at SDS mentioned it at all? I looked through the patch notes and couldn’t find anything referencing this, and there have only been a handful of posts on this forum about it.
For more info: I chose the sparkplug loadout (specifically because catcher was a preferred position and I was a fan of the attributes), and ended up finishing with “The Hawk” loadout (which has every position as a preferred position). Hate to think that I wasted my time, but it seems more and more likely.
I am recently having a lot of trouble finding matches in ranked season. When I do find matches, it is against people who are prestige/high diamond level who have all of the collections done (overall much better teams, and usually better players too). This didn't use to happen to me until my overall attribute number moved up to 95. When I was under 95 I was really good: I made it up to 840 this season by winning 4 or 5 in a row, and then I got up to 95 and the following 4-5 games took a really long time to find (multiple refreshes) and when I finally found a game I got absolutely wrecked. That had never happened to me before, and I consider myself a pretty decent player--not the best but I think good enough to make World Series (was 34 games over .500, hit and pitch fairly well). And it isn't like the issue of finding a match stopped once I got demoted from Championship Series--the issue persisted as I kept falling down the ranks of Division Series too. I also remember I had a fairly similar struggle (though not nearly as bad) early on in the game as I transitioned from a mostly gold team to a mostly diamond team.
So: Does the overall team attribute affect matchmaking? Or have I just run into extremely bad luck? Could the reason I struggle to find matches be that nobody is playing Ranked Season?
Or finally: Do I actually suck?
