On rookie literally just switch to timing and you’ll be raking HRs left and right it’s much easier then using a pci at that difficulty level

The online is trash it’s fairly obvious at this point. No dedicated servers and All Star+ just means they released a crappy multiplayer product with variable timing windows from game to game and inning to inning. Along with a [censored] load of rng that rewards bad swings to retain bad players at the expense of more disciplined ones making the game a frustrating pile of doo doo to play online.

They should start with dedicated servers first the multiplayer state is unacceptable this year.

Just played an event game and gave up 5 hits in a row on very early and late swings on pitches outside of the zone. Wtf is SDS doing at this point this game has gone so far down hill. That literally proves very little about this game is working correctly at the current moment.

Dude there hasn’t been a single tweak to gameplay since release. SDS doesn’t care about how the game plays at all. Insane to me. I mean what game studio doesn’t constantly try to tweak/provide balance for their game?

They absolutely don’t care they haven’t fixed the online or gameplay not even a bit. The timing windows for hitting are so drastic from game to game it’s unplayable for a majority of people. This game is in the worst state it’s ever been and everybody knows it.

They haven’t updated the gameplay in months this year has been a joke. They’ve soiled their reputation pretty bad this year. The online plays horribly and they can’t even code the thing right.

Thought you were done with online as of yesterday?

Get lost or stay on topic

That Pedro card is extremely limited maybe SDS should consider expanding it to players that played in the 90s.

3. No top spin, you can hit a liner and watch it hang until an OF with below average speed tracks it down to the gap

Facts

This I agree with , they need to add top spin to liners , but that would cause some potential Homers to not be Homer's and some will complain about that.

Well I’d rather have that than the homer fest on bad swings with crappy timing outside of the zone that we have now. Maybe they could just make the game play right online instead of calling their crappy netcode All-Star+ to cover up the fact each game is different and the timing changes from inning to inning.

You’re Gonna get Guidry Sp and Blackmon OF right away to very good cards. I would take Drury inf, Kim inf, Heim c, Harris OF, Yelich OF, Ezequil Duran of/inf and Bello sp right away and build around them.

No all set 2 cards will be unusable in two weeks. Set 1 cards are already twilighted. Focus on set 3 programs. I would do the June Player of the Month program that will give you a ton of useable cards quickly and I think they are better then the July potm players.

@Jacky-Chan1_XBL said in Why SDS, I am in shock.:

It's coded in the game to allow for more competitive play. Good players don't miss those pitches

Good players also don’t strike out 20 times but manage to hit 8 dingers. The netcode sucks

If the game was any good a majority of hits wouldn’t be on late and early swings and they wouldn’t be a majority of HRs instead of singles. The game is fundamentally broken just a pile of garbage at this point. Crossplay games feel especially bad whoever is hosting it just turns into dinger city. The peer 2 peer rewards bad connections and that’s a huge issue for a game like this.

Not to mention as soon as people start to fall behind they start tinkering with their internet making the connection unbearably laggy. They don’t even police the crappy online they do have just allow people to network manipulate all day.

I’ve seen enough this year the game runs so poorly it doesn’t even play right. It’s just HR after HR they can’t code the online properly it’s peer 2 peer connection which is like the original Xbox and PlayStation 2 level of networking it’s a joke.

Game is dead anyways

Peer 2 peer isn’t cutting it

This online is [censored] garbage it’s just a barrage of homeruns absolutely no singles get hit barely. Until they want to fix this [censored] and get dedicated servers Im absolutely done with the online component of this trash.

How do you people play such a putrid dog [censored] mode game and actually enjoy it? Unless you’re hosting it’s an automatic loss with the way the game structured. How anyone can say this is a good product blows my [censored] mind.

This developer sucks they’re cheap and lazy. I don’t remember 22 being god [censored] bad online it was at least barely playable. It’s a pathetic joke that they put out a crappy peer 2 peer game like it’s 2006 and have no shame.

I’ve been getting a lot of check swings when I press the button for some reason anyone else?

This is a serious question why is it a majority of the hits I get online are either singles or doubles while people I play against are hitting 90% of their hits for HRs? Many on balls outside of the zone and on late and early swings. It sincerely makes this game feel horrible and unfair to play online.

I’ve played people that have struck out 19 times but hit 8 homers so I know these people can’t use their pci or time up pitches that well.

I’m striking out about 8 times with pretty decent pci locations and timing. People can’t be getting that lucky consistently. I have a great connection that’s super stable and I really want to enjoy the online but it continues to feel erratic.
