When next week rolls around and madden drops you won't post anymore right? This is just sad at this point

There’s no limit to the amount of posts I’ll make. This is a bad game and I’m providing a public service. If it keeps one person who is on the fence from playing this POS I’ve done my job.

Honestly I doubt someone who is on the fence about getting this game is using this forum. And if they are chances they will stumble on your threads and even further see it as fact are even smaller.

Agree people on here is there main game they play most if not all year. This is all I play unless a great game is out like doom eternal

New program, new event, new conquest map, new stadium, and new pack dropping on the same day not enough for ya?

If you have any sense of awareness, this is light years ahead of what was once decent in Maddens.
That game is a disgrace in my eyes. I've played Madden since '99, when John was still on the cover. I gave up after '19, because it still can't touch NFL 2K5.
If I played this online, maybe I'd feel differently, but the fact that there's always something to do offline makes this a great game. It's 'maddening' at times, but as Mike Piazza always used to say: 'Baseball is a frustrating game.'
Despite its flaws, The Show is the best sports game out there.

@therainmaker29_xbl said in How do I change my CAP’s pitches?:

So I started RTTS like a month back made a pitcher and got bored.

Now I’ve started a new build but my progress is still the same in the season. I can’t figure out how to swap out a pitch (if possible)?

I’d like to make the cheese build, I’ll be clear on that. I’m frustrated online and the gameplay is bad anyways. Maybe feeding someone a juiced cap pitcher will be fun for a night.

Thanks for any advice.

i thought you quit...so now you're open to exploiting....man you're awesome

Blame SDS chump.

When son went in snd changed his appearance and name on DD it changed everything now I can’t get the original guy back onto my DD team

@kovz88_psn said in Sorry but Showdown is still TRASH:

You're not gonna like hearing it but the only answer here is to keep trying and get better at reading pitches. From your past posts/all star banner and the fact that it's your first year it seems like you aren't very good at the game yet. I'm not trying to insult you it's just fact that this game has a very sharp learning curve. Stop letting your success/failure decide whether you think something is good or not.

Appreciate the half positive spin. But there is zero excuse for the showdown to be “tilted” heavy sliders. I almost never lose to the AI on All Star yet I can’t win a single time on pretend veteran in showdown. Complete BS.

what showdown do you even need to do at this point? I do some of them once if they have a high xp reward.. other than that, whats the point?

Until SDS switches to dedicated servers instead of peer to peer timing windows will be different every gm. This is why some gms you'll have no problem turning on 102 then next gm your late every swing.

If you live in Portland, they have a physical NBA jam machine at Ball Was Life on Hawthorne Blvd if you want the real experience.

Do you know you are answering posts old enough that the person probably has forgotten they asked the question by now?

At least this thread's last response was in August. I've legit seen threads revived from March, in December lol

Anybody tag a Pre Arenado trade post yet?

Sorry bro. Door was open. Had to poke my head in...

When playing CPU keep an eye on the wind. The wind is blowing in very often and effects the carry of balls A LOT.

3rd, need him hitting in that first inning no matter what. Plus Jackie at leadoff always guarantees a runner on base.

Chipper is home boys. 👍

Another tip that i don't think a lot of people do is after about the first 3-4 innings, go in Pitcher Analysis and look at where your opponent is throwing relative to the zone. You can also see what he throws most as his 1st pitch, when ahead in the count, when behind in the count etc to help with your pitch anticipation. It's a very underrated tool.

I won a game!!! Top of the 4th my opponent who had zero hits until that point gets an MLB the script special!! A two run home run on an early swing 8 inches above the plate!!

Fortunately my 9 hits won out as I scored 5 in the bottom of the 4th!!

That’s a good dad right there

mental illness is no joke

I’m a glass half full kind of guy. Wanted to believe so badly the game was good and it was just poor tv settings. Unfortunately it’s a bad game online and always will be.

It's not TV settings. I have ps5, monitor, great router, fiber internet, Most people aren't smart enough to see the lag or haven't played baseball and can't see the difference in the pitch speeds. I watch a ton of top streamers and their pitch speed on legend looks like my all star/hof speed most of the time. No wonder they hit .400. [censored] looks like slow pitch softball.

I literally have a few days to make WS during a season and during those days it is a breeze. Most days are a chore to hit on all star.

You think a video of a video, streamed through a third party platform, and then to your computer screen is an exact copy of what the streamers see?

Interesting.

He always likes to claim that but I don’t believe it. I watch a few different Youtuber’s and all their pitch speeds look very hittable even on HoF and legend. I think it has to do with the capture and then whatever Youtube does to it when it uploads. And that doesn’t mean I think online is perfect because it’s far from it.

I have seen many pitches warp on Movie Gaming. Rarely on OhChev.

I would say most people's eyes are not trained to see the differences. They are very noticeable to me. I played baseball for 18 years at very high levels.

Well buddy this is a video game. So if you are expecting it to match whatever “very high levels” you claim to have played in real life you are in for a rude awakening.

Ah, don't get mad because you got cut from your high school team. I am not good with cars, golf and a million other things. It is ok not to be good at things. Baseball just wasn't one of those for me.

Never got cut but whatever makes you sleep better at night champ 🥴

Been ranting for a week how bad online lag was. I literally couldn’t even react to a pitch. It was miserable. Frames would skip as the batter swung or the pitch came in. Well… turns out my TV was not on a game mode. Let that be a lesson to you kids. It’s night and day different now. Immediately went deep twice in the first inning turning that on.

** I was too nice without more data. Turns out the game still sucks major balls online and always will. **

Priceless flip flop. Love the edit

Thanks man. I want nothing more than to praise the game. Offline it’s a solid game and there’s fun to be had. Online is hideous and I can’t pretend it’s not.

I feel the exact opposite. Offline is like washing the dishes while hungover. Online is fun and competitive but yes there are some issues.

Yep you need the online experience to feel justified in the grind for your team. I agree. Unfortunately online play is extremely poor on a generous day.

I have this same issue and put a support ticket in.

Some diamonds are worse than others. I had to give up at Ranked Season at 730 because Degrom, as soon as I have runners on, becomes absolutely impossible to hit. You have to piece together his break while it stutters, coming in on Hall of Fame at 102 or 93. Had to go back to BR for now. It happens in BR as well, but All Star is my normal practiced speed (I've gone flawless) - and it's manageable.

I'd elaborate more on what diamond is the worst (by far) but don't want to give a million hungry cheaters fuel to the fire. But there's one in particular, that the game is basically a 3 inning seizure in the making, even on All Star.

I don't think it's online - I think it's the game rendering. I also noticed - that in just two hours of BR, I used 35.6 GB of internet as per my Xbox's menu, and so maybe you're right - and maybe they're rendering the entire thing via the web because of custom stadiums. If that's the case, I'll have to hang up the cleats as soon as I travel (which I'm planning a 6 month RV trip) - was hoping to still play off my 5G connection when in city - but that'll eat my data plan in two games.
