I don't know if there is a disconnect glitch going around or if the server is causing disconnects. It always happens at the weirdest times and I always get the loss. I'm 100% wireless at all times and I'm always online when it happens.

This needs to be patched asap SDS. https://youtu.be/mSQiD4IyRD4

@bravo1914_psn said in Check Swings in MLB 20 to Cheese Pitching in MLB The Show 21.:

OMG!!!!! I thought I was going crazy. The introduction to pin point pitching allows users to just paint corners all day.

Yes, it's absolutely pathetic.

We go from too many Check Swings in MLB The Show 20, to Cheese Pitching in MLB The Show 21. There needs to be a medium somewhere in between to balance the game. This is not Baseball, it's Cheese. Online that is.

I was thinking the same thing, does this happen in Diamond Dynasty? I doubt it. Either way i'm sticking with Online Rated. I like the sim aspect of Th Show. I don't like using fake teams smh.

Dropped 2 games back to back that said Connection Lost in Online Rated. I received a loss for both even though I am online the whole time.

Competitive is cutthroat

As a result of the Check Swings being tuned down there are tremendously high Strikeout numbers. Taking the Discipline rating away so that Users have trouble Check Swinging was a bad move for real baseball. Guys are Cheese pitching now and use the toned down Check Swings as an exploit. Baseball has been thrown out of the window online. I'm Striking out double the players I've ever striked out per game. 16 per game, the highest I've ever averaged was 8-10 over the last 6 years.

They tuned back the Check Swings now as a result guys are Cheese pitching because they know you can't Check Swing as well as before. It's Bad Baseball as it is right now. There needs to be a medium between last year's Check Swings and this years. I'm striking out over 16 batters per game now online because if this change. In the last 6 years my highest Strikeouts average per game was 10. A patch is necessary.

@ewogimia365_psn said in Did the leaderboard reset ?:

Hey guys I go thru this every year they reset the records on the leaderboard somehow. But eventually they come back. It's upsetting tho I mean I'm 61-0 but if it's like last year you win 1 game your rating is back to where it was and eventually your record will be fixed.. or least has been in the past just give it some time and grind those Ws you'll record will be back.

The Legend has spoken! What's up i play Online Rated too! i got into an argument online with a guy that said DD players are better than Online Rated guys. I disagreed. I told him some of us just rather play with Regs rather than Fantasy teams, and we also would rather just play than battle through stubs or pay for players. He said Pitching Rebel would dominate you. I told him in an Online Rated game you would smash him. What do you think? Lol

SDS please remove Directional Hitting from Competitive Online play please. It doesn't require Competitive skill to simply time your swings.

You definitely want to be rewarded for good Check Swing input.

Need a patch SDS. Medium between this year and last year for Online.
