Logic check. So if SDS coded a game that was based on consistency and quality that would be bad because baseball is an imperfect game. Right!! Get your head out of your [censored]!!

SDS will also never make the player attributes not matter. They make most of their money selling stubs in DD so that you will want to buy players who perform better than what you already have all year long. If user input was 95% of what matters a person would never have to upgrade their players in DD. Competitive mode was made for DD primarily so even playing franchise the player attributes will matter at least as much as user input.. Good video skills though, and I would also be pissed, but I feel I understand why sometimes these things are going to happen.

Disagree here too.
A 99 rated pitcher can throw a fastball 103 MPH, a 59 rated pitcher can only throw 85MPH - that's the difference. Both should pitch in their own PAR area, the 99 probably has a smaller PAR area.

You can disagree all you like, but you are the one who will remain disappointed in the game forever. I am going to enjoy it with all its flaws because its baseball, and baseball games are inherently flawed and unpredictable. Watch one some time. It is quite amazing how off their spot RL pitchers truly are almost every pitch. What makes a pitcher good is his "stuff". How his fastball moves or his sinker drops. They are no were near as perfect with location as you can be in this game.

That is so weak!! Baseball is an imperfect game, therefor, SDS developers can code a steaming pile of [censored] and that means it’s a good offering because baseball isn’t a perfect game. You have fanbois syndrome really bad…get that [censored] checked.
SDS has done a horrible job this year. Period.

So yeah. Told you SDS didn’t have the skill to fix this game and they don’t!! They screwed it up even worse with thier amateur hour patch. What a joke.

SDS has a habit of pissing in the faces of thier player base…this patch is just another example of them doing exactly that. A week ago I posted that SDS doesn’t have the talent to fix this game. Today they proved me right.

First things first …fire all employees that worked on the show 21. Free game for all that bought the show 21.
Realistic hitting
Cards that play to thier stats.
Get rid of RNG in the game

Hopefully an earthquake takes thier headquarters down and causes all employees to be replaced

This is SDS fixing things. They just nerfed your whole [censored] teams hitters. Buy good cards for hitting an SDS nerfs them all. That’s [censored] criminal is what it is. Goddamn thieves!!

SDS does this every year they have never gotten a game of thier s working properly until about 3/4 of the way through the season. Diseased chimps could do a better job than what SDS employs.

That’s because their effing contact swing nerf nerfed all exit velocities. SDS is the model of incompetence. They all need to be fired.

It’s way better. I only threw a handful of “perfects” the entire game. I wasn’t cheesed to death by contact swing, and if you don’t know how to pitch sequence, you’re gonna get touched up. This is the way it should be.

I'm referring to the fact that last year the game was horrible due to pitching being so random. Good releases could go down the middle. And now they fixed that issue, and yes pinpoint was very accurate. But if you can hit, you can hit those pitches on the black too. Has nothing to do with sequencing and everything to do with the ability to hit. And now they go I'm reverse to make it more random, because the average hitters cried hard. Again.

How is pitching more random? They just tightened up the thresholds to get perfect or good input. It didn’t increase the perfect radius from what I can see so far. That’s not adding randomness but rather adding skill imo

Just play man you'll see what I mean. A bit off makes pitches sail and go down the middle, very much like last year and even the year before to a certain extent. Missing a perfect is now punished heavier and having a "good" release doesn't mean anything, it can be a meatball if the game decides to do so. Again, just play a few games and you'll see.

I’ve played a few event games but I think I got a perfect release on every pitch so far. Tbh what you’re describing I kind of like. It’s always been so easy to get perfects that I think it should be punishing when you don’t but I’ll wait to play some more outside of the event before forming an opinion I guess. It sounds like a win for ranked games though tbh

Did you l happen to use analogue pitching last year? Sometimes pitches would just randomly go down the middle regardless of input. I hope that’s not what’s happening with pin point now. I also think something happened to timing windows on those pitches as well because those “hangers” almost always ended up being a bomb.

That is exactly what is happening with pin point now. These morons just don’t have anything else in thier bag of tricks.

@tngu834_psn said in Thank you SDS DEVs:

Thank you for the gameplay updates. You listened to the community and spent the time to update this. I don't play any other video games and I bought a PS5 to maximize this game too. Releasing this game on many consoles and have the additional features was super ambitious and I am sure people were forced to do A LOT more with a lot less during Covid-19 since this seems to be motto for corporations.

What a virtue signalling cringe worthy post. I honestly vomited in my mouth…and then out onto the floor…a lot.

Just another [censored] patch that makes pinpoint pitching more effected by RNG…based on user input my [censored]. Nerfed exit velocity speeds on all hitting. Big fail!! Trying to nerf contact hitting they nerf hitting over all. The worst show in 10 effing years. SDS =full and total incompetence.

Just about half way through the season and you mooks still haven’t got this game to where it should be…without need of major gameplay patches. What a joke!!

I'm truly sad to post this, but I have deleted the game and won't be coming back.

This was my favorite game for the last 3 years. But the XP reduction, the 15-2 losses in conquest sims, and the silly moments have brought me to this point. There just isn't a game mode that is enjoyable anymore. I used to love grinding conquest for the rewards and XP. I loved playing RS, win or lose, because of the entertainment. I enjoyed Showdown last year, it was always challenging, but very rewarding.

All of the reward systems in the game have been removed. Now the game rewards those who want to XP glitch CPU games or RTTS. That's just not rewarding for me.

Good luck all, and I hope you enjoy the game! While I won't be back, I hope they fix it in the future so your time is rewarded.

Not to mention we STILL haven't found out why they no longer give you an option to get a card after a Conquest game.

Used to play higher difficulties to get a chance at a better card. But with no After Game Reward; why play in any difficulty other than Rookie.

The reason they no longer give out cards on conquest is that they are cheap money grubbers. Why charge ten percent to sell cards online? Again cheap [censored] company STEALING money from the player base. Why do cards disappear from players inventories with out compensation? Why do servers fail all the time? It goes on and on. But always the same reason…cheap [censored] company making a living from stealing from their player base.

SDS has garbage servers. It’s not your internet. SDS is doing nothing to fix the online. You should approach Sony for refund. Don’t listen to the chimps on here telling you it’s your internet…it’s not…it’s SDS cheap [censored] servers.

Don’t let the fanbois on here dampen your spirit OP. Their life is this game so when you criticize this pos game it hurts the bois feeling. SDS has done a HORRIBLE job with this years online baseball. They don’t deserve any praise whatsoever; but the fanbois keep sucking SDS [censored] constantly so we need people like you to balance the comments.

Not that it makes you guys feel better I did get a response and they did replace my Max Muncy card but it did take about a month. If you filed a ticket im pretty sure they will get back to you but there should be an easy patch to fix this where if you have all team Affinity one done you should automatically have all of those cards in your collection available towards the Jackie collection. There have been tons of people complaining on this forum and reddit about the same issue.

I’m spooked now. I want to complete the 42 collection to make progress with Mo, but will my cards go AWOL too?

You can count on it. SDS doesn’t give two shits about their player base.
