You need a third party router and some type of port forwarding. T-Mobile uses a CG-NAT which is very problematic when trying to P2P. You should be able to play games that have dedicated servers though.

Why are people obsessed with posting personal game reviews on the forum? Is anyone really logging into the forums late August to read game reviews? Shouldn’t reviews with the Title of the game look at more than a single game mode?

This is just a way to complain and vent simply. I know it , you know it and the OP knows it too.

A review that nobody asked for , and that you were clearly incapable of delivering. This is not a review. This is not the place to publish a review , and it’s about 5 months late if you were to actually have written a comprehensive review.

"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul,"

Personally I don’t play much online but when I do hitting is a mixed bag. I assume that’s a me thing. Sometimes I hit sometimes I don’t.

Offline though especially on lower level diffaculty the game isn’t fun anymore. Offline grinding was fun , you had to be somewhat patient and disciplined at the plate but mostly you could mindlessly grind and make progress

This year even down in the rookie ranks it seems like every at bat is a slog , and mind you I still score , I still hit and score runs but it just isn’t as fun. Non competitive pitch after non competitive pitch by the 61 common that’ll take you to 3-0 only to throw dots. Most of the time I still hit them , but the amount of time I have to throw away grinding on the easiest diffaculty is tedious.

Same goes for moments and showdowns. I don’t fail these very often , but I am a witness longer than I’m a player. This becomes especially tedious in moments and showdowns when you wait , wait , wait and then get the strike only to smash it for a loud fly out to the warning track.

I understand they need to extend content , but I would be more satisfied with higher pxp missions or stat missions rather than sucking the fun out of the experience in service of that.

Just my thoughts.

Was playing the Allstar mini seasons , Ryno came up to bat. Gave him a pass , couldn’t bring myself to get him out.

My biggest issue is it seems like anytime I get runners on and I get hittable pitches the frames drop. It’s so irritating to have a patient at bat when your opponent is clearly trying to pitch around you , earn that fast ball and then get 2 frames and it’s by you.

I’m sure it happens all the time here and there , I just notice it more when it really matters. This has plagued this game for two straight years in my experience too , not a one off this year. I doubt it’ll change next either

@Dolenz_PSN
Was more or less asking about speed , pitch mix , velocity , stuff like that. I remember in years past those came along around the AS break. Was a once a year type update.

Do they not do the in season attributes and quirks update anymore?

Apologies I wasn’t very clear. I meant physical attributes. Speed , fielding , base running , steal , those not the normal updates.

@GoozeFn_PSN Doubt Acuna is getting a card. If anything it’ll be a 3rd Matt Olson card with diamond defense

I’m not a fan of the amount of gatekeepers on collections this year by no means but this complaint seems a bit premature. Free pack in the program right away , additionally they’re likely to add some. Were less than 24hours from the collection being presented. Exercise some patience

My most valuable diamond pull this year is LS Skenes when he was in the 60k range. I pulled Mookie the other day but he’s relatively cheap for an 88. Terrible year.

@dbub_PSN Maybe if they’d do a better job making it people would devote more time to playing it

My remedy for this has been playing on allstar. I won’t claim that I’ve had this level of issue with pitching but I do notice a difference on rookie and veteran. My frustration comes from moments and diamond quest where I mostly cannot control the diffaculty. Having said that , I think I’ve played a few conquest games so far this season… game just didn’t do it for me this year

@Rhyno1986_XBL

Remind me. How many days are in a month. Asking for a friend. I’m pretty sure it’s not 52 right? It’s also not 59? Can anyone help me out here?

@sbchamps17_NSW

The hole depth just was multiplied by 20 lol. I’m 1.1 million Stubbs worth away from Rolen , still 125k away from Donaldson and 52k away from Degrom.

@TripleH-4481_PSN I just did the math , currently sitting about 1.1 million Stubbs away from the Scott Rolen. That’s with having completed every single piece of offline content besides what dropped today.

Between cards I’m missing , and the ones in LS collections I’ve not finished that’s pretty daunting. I think if I want to play baseball I’ll go back to show 24.

Packs have always been bad , but there is zero RNG protection for a person who doesn’t purchase bundles. I personally save my Stubbs and use them on players for different sets , but that’s tied to pack RNG. If I don’t get valuable items I don’t have Stubbs to spend.

I’ve hit a wall , and yeah I know I can go play the same diamond quest until my thumbs bleed but for me that isn’t enjoyable. It’s a repeat experience every time.

Over the past 250+ regular TS packs I’ve pulled a LS Michael Harris , 1 Chase pack ( Trea Turner ) I’ve yet to see a diamond all year from a ballin in a gold pack , and headliners are almost always silvers with the occasional diamond jersey.

Too much progress is hidden behind the packs , so I completely understand the guys who mostly play online needing to take the gamble. For me I play offline mostly , I’ve hit a wall. I would be willing to bet I’m currently 5-600k Stubbs needed to even consider the Rolen collection that dropped today as I’ve not even completed half the eggs , and I’m still 2 cards from NL Donaldson. One being an 80k card and the other being a boss pack card where I will HAVE to pick a card I don’t want to throw into a collection.

I’m not motivated to do any of it. I’ll likely bow out for the year and hold off on future preorders as to gauge if things change for the better

PCA and Elly are great bench players. Both speedy , PCA can play any OF position , Elly is as fast but can play a couple spots in the infield while having a competent bat vs RHP. Ricky is okay if you don’t have those other two.

We are two weeks into the second inning right? I know of at least two programs coming this week that’ll have xp benchmarks with chunks , and you have the Jolt voucher for whatever that is plus any conquest chunk xp. I wouldn’t be overly concerned

@YOSHI24_XBL Not everything in the game needs to be catered to H2H. The cpu will start the pitcher that it’s programmed to start.

On the H2H side you’d just have to code it where if you start a RHP , you can only call in RH starters from your pen and lay a 3 inning minimum on the SP. . Then it would be no different than it is currently. It really wouldn’t be that hard.
