Congrats. Hope you guys beat the Braves or Phillies. Dodgers are pathetic. I know we didn't have pitching, but I thought we would bring more offense. Mookie was hitless, Freddie I believe had one hit. And they had tremendous seasons. I don't understand it.

I give up two runs early in the game. I'm okay if I lose I just want to play a full game. I hang in there and battle back. I take the lead on a 3 run home run, now its 3-2 and my opponent quits. People can't handle losing? People don't want to play if they're losing? whats the deal?
I know yall are going to say take the W and move on but I don't want to invest 3 or 4 innings into a game and then start over.
Unfortunately there’s no penalty for rage quitting and it’s easier to just start a fresh game than to battle. Also, depending on what mode your playing some people just don’t take it serious enough to stick around.
But one run? really? smh. I can see 5 or more being tough to come back from.
I feel you, but again you just never know. Some people don’t stick around if they think they’re gonna lose. Could also be like guy above said. Maybe it’s a kid who had to go, you’ll never really know.
It be nice if they gave penalties like suspending gameplay in that mode for 10-20 mins or something but then you penalize people who may have emergencies or something pop up. It’s just the way the video game World is now…
Be real, when they quit seconds after I take the lead, it's not because mommy is calling them.

Just happened again. First time was online rated. This time 2v2 co op. Hit a second inning home run to go up 1-0 and the pitcher quit. pathetic.

If the forum parameters would let me, my answer would be a resounding one word NO.
Thats fine, don't expect your skills to develop. And if you're wondering why people back out before entering a game, you know why.

@theBlindRhino said in Stop playing on rookie kids:
I like playing on rookie.
You might like playing on all star too. Try it sometime.
-
I will back out every time you choose rookie settings. Challenge yourselves a little bit and play on All-Star or Hall of Fame.
And I've noticed a lot of you can't throw a high fastball and hit the top of the zone. Must be something with pinpoint pitching. Try pure analog.

Lol it’s now come down to people using Padres and their knuckleballer Waldron
Is this Knuckleballer new? Just faced him. Guy used him in Polo Grounds. And then there's a Padres reliever that throws a screwball.
-
Seems like every time I get a lead my opponent throws a temper tantrum. Excessive pausing, bunt dancing, holding R2, throwing at my hitter, etc. Jeez, grow up people. It's just a game.
I've had guys just drop the controller and leave the game or pause until the time runs out. How about just quit and move along. Online players have become worse this year.

Had a disconnect last night and just had another one in the first inning. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I contacted playstation and they mentioned port forwarding for this game. Not sure how to do that. Can someone from the SDS team give me some ideas on how to fix this? It's not my internet.

@HustlinOwl_MLBTS said in disconnects in online rated:
I’ve only had one this year in over 200 games
Do you think I should uninstall then reinstall the game?
Here's the disconnect from yesterday.

I have around 5 disconnects and all are losses. This is not about my opponent disconnecting mid game. I have plenty of those disconnects but I get the win.
It's not my internet because this doesn't happen playing other games. It happens after routine plays. Is anyone else getting these disconnects along with the loss?
-
Was going to make a thread about him going gold at the beginning of the season but was too lazy. Everyone was talking about how good Vargas is going to be but Outmans been putting up the numbers.
-
I don't even play this mode but I agree with op. They spoiled this mode with all these 99's from the get go. Poor decision.

@thinkbluedgr_PSN said in opponent paused, game disconnected, then I lose:
Just now. I was losing 1-0 in the 7th inning. my opponent paused the game for about 30 seconds, next I see game disconnected, then I get the loss. I was probably going to lose anyways since I can't hit a thing but I've never had this happen before. The game is disappointing for me so far this year.
Because you’ve ventured into DD come back to real baseball and online rated
I never mentioned DD. I don't waste my time with that mode. This happened in online rated.
-
I don't know what it is, maybe pitching is overpowered, maybe hitting timing is off, but I'm about to go back and play 22. I usually go 10-0 to 15-0 to start a new game. I'm being beat by people who strike out 30 times a game. smh.

I know I'm not a great hitter but my opponents are horrible. They are beating me on a combination of bunt hits and me having a hard time with the throwing meter. So much fun.

@thinkbluedgr_PSN said in Should I use the throwing meter for defense?:
I usually use buttons no meter. I know it's the easier method but I'm used to it. Played my first online rated game and Will Smith pulls Freddie Freeman off the bag twice on dropped third strike throws.
If they made this defensive option more prone to errors, I'm going to have to switch.
Is the meter harder this year? Do I just need to hit any part of the green or is middle best?
The meter is harder this year than years past, the green zone moves depending on your defender and how they are moving. I’ve always used meter and it took me a solid 2-3 ranked games to really get used to it. It’s hardest in the outfield when your defender is on the run.
I’ve never used buttons for throwing so idk how it compares but there is an adjustment period this year for meter.
Thanks for the info. I will go into practice mode and try it out before going into online play.
Let's go Diamond Backs!
