    What the Joc?

    So, Joc Pederson gets a 98 NLDS card for going 3 for 3, with 2 Home Runs -- as a "Pinch Hitter",
    and yet, SDS does not give him the "Pinch Hitter" quirk. Kiki's card got it, even though most of his success came while starting. Weird.
    Maybe it's just an oversight?

    RE: That Was Fun! FoD!

    Glad I watched it....You could not have scripted it better. A BIG win for the best game in the world.

    RE: This game online in a nutshell
    1. Who can catch up to the outlier FB, while still being able to lay off junk.

    RE: What a brutal call.

    While it looked like he checked it, you should not be checking with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th of game 5 of the DS. Either swing away, or take all the way. Never put it in the hands of the officials.

    RE: Pitch Speeds Please
    1. Remove the "outlier".
    2. Use HOF pitch speeds in EVERY division.
    3. Adjust pci size in each RS division accordingly.

    There is no need to revert back to slow pitch MLBTS18.

    RE: Eric Davis WS Reward

    @exotic_combs_psn said in Eric Davis WS Reward:

    Joined the 30/30 club with a walkoff HR. Finished the season with 37 bombs and 50 bags. Hit .293 or so. Should be an amazing card! LFG Reds!

    Yep... and he did all of that in only 129 games!
    Davis was also the fastest player ever to reach the 30-30 club (105 team games and 90 player games).

    Outstanding Card Art

    The card art this year is excellent, especially the Milestone and the new WC cards. Much better than some of those TA cards from last year. Good work SDS artists!

    @twisted-_-tea-_psn said in I have to say…HOF pitch speeds are ridiculous:

    I don’t understand why people don’t like to hear get good when it comes to ranked. BR is already all star as well as most events why complain about the one mode which needs skill to be good

    1.) It's an old, tiresome, and lazy answer.

    2.) I'm not sure why you and others can't understand that not everyone treats this game like a job. Some people just want to hop on and play a game in between kids, a wife, a job, other life responsibilities. Believe it or not there are plenty of posters on this board who can't devote the time or consistency it takes to "get good".

    3.) And if everyone on here practiced for 8 hours a day for weeks on end there will still be different skill levels. As I stated above not everyone has the same talent/abilities as everyone else. Practice can only take you so far.

    Thats what casual modes like events br and… casual are for. People that can’t be very good. It only takes 10-15 minutes of sitting in BP to start to improve. If you can’t do that then don’t complain. Plenty of people including myself have a job and a significant other and still use my free time to be good at the game. I think having a life is a tiresome excuse to be lousy at a video game

    1. If only that were the case. You can spend 10-15 minutes a day in custom practice on legend and not get better.
      I mean, sure, you can get better by small increments, but it doesn’t last, and if you have to do it every day to have a prayer at hitting on HOF, it is pretty lame.

    I can think of plenty of skills I’ve developed in life that don’t require me to practice every day to be decently good at.

    This game is not like that, by design.

    1. Being good at a video game is a poor excuse for being bad at life.

    Does it really help to practice on legend against the computer when the pitch speeds from that don't even match online HOF which is faster or much faster depending on the connection?

    In Legend custom practice mode, with maxed out pitch speed Sliders, I can (eventually) see the ball/pitch and turn on it no problem. It does, however, take some time to get the timing down and for my eyes to focus on the ball/pitch. My physical reflexes and vision (eventually) adjust fine. This extreme practice mode is still very challenging, but NOT because I cannont see the pitch.

    However, in many online h2h games, I have a difficult time seeing/focusing on the pitches and timing up anything (even on All-Star at times). In online h2h, turning on many FB's while still being able to lay off the "disappearing" offspeed stuff seems impossible (even with an excellent ethernet connection and computer monitor).

    For me, the online pitch speed problems are NOT just about my deteriorating physical reflexes (which is part of it), but also about poor network latency preventing me from focusing/tracking the ball/pitch. Playing vs folks overseas is even notably worse...and THIS is why I am convinced that the biggest problem in h2h gameplay is inferior network latency/ping/connection/etc., which is completely outside of the user's control.

    While there is a skill gap and some players are just better than others, network connection issues are definately a part of it.

    RE: What’s your download / upload speed?

    @lewisnadasurf1_psn said in What’s your download / upload speed?:

    I played two games this morning between 9am-11am UKT tethered off my 4G iPhone and both games were perfect.

    The point of my story is when things get busier US side the issues start.

    Your connection helps but the servers need to be better.

    If anyone cares. An hour playing the show only uses about 80mb in data online. Nothing at all really.

    I am curious to know how your opponents felt about the quality of those match connections? I imagine they were horrid, regardless of their network setup. SDS should implement a ping notification before going into an online match. Without dedicated servers, game sessions can have major lag and latency issues for at least one of the p2p participants, especially in matches over a large geographic area.

    In RS H2H...FB Marte, FB Betts, and Prospect Oneil Cruz. I usually do not hit well with anyone above 6'3, but Cruz is the exception.

    RE: Stealing... Don't Do It

    MLBTS16 was (almost) great. However, the "bunt cheese" was a negative H2H issue. Cheesers would load their lineup with 90+ speedsters and bunt...get on base...steal...bunt, etc. Not fun. I think this is why SDS nerfed stealing (and bunting).

    RE: RS is the best it's ever been!

    The thing about RS that disappoints me the most is how the timing windows vary from game to game. In addition to the various pitch speeds in different divisions, you have latency and poor P2P connection issues that makes RS gameplay quality unpredictable.

    RE: Does Anybody Actually Pull Diamonds From Packs????

    @bigss-_psn said in Does Anybody Actually Pull Diamonds From Packs????:

    Every pack is a bronze or a silver, and nothing else. Packs are absolutely terrible this year, imo.

    Plus side is, content has been incredible. Lots of easy ways to get other cards.

    Most years I do not pull (high) diamonds, however, this year has been better than normal for me. I pulled LS Acuna with my free 25 pre-order packs, and recently, Degrom from a earned standard pack.

    RE: FIX the lag SDS .. my god your incompetent .. 5$ dollar servers

    @xfoufoufou_psn said in FIX the lag SDS .. my god your incompetent .. 5$ dollar servers:

    I don't know if its because i live in eastern Canada but every game has lag lately. I maybe have 1/5 games that work fine.

    I have 1 GB internet / hardwire with monitor ps5 60 fps.

    I can go on legend and be early in practice no issues, but yet in ranked season im late on allstar ?

    I have to swing before i even see the pitch here .

    Like it was fine at the start but now its way worst!

    With a game that requires good timing,
    good servers should be a must !!!

    My god this SDS team sucks .. you suck at your job !!!

    Everything but the last part. It's not like SDS's programmers (and team) can pay for, and install, more quality p2p matchmaking servers...or for not using dedicated servers.

    RE: Any Legends that you miss and hope they bring back?

    Hanley, Cargo, Cano, and Reyes are cards that played well for me and had excellent swings. Cobb, Williams, and Hornsby are also cards I would like to see come back.

    RE: Hitting is Just Insane

    @genopolanco_psn said in Hitting is Just Insane:

    Do you guys prefer events over Ranked because it doesn’t keep track of your record? I’ve never understood why there is such a difference in stress between ranked and events. People care about their record way too much in this game for some reason.

    To me, your RS record is kind of like your KDR in a FPS game. I remember being proud of my spinning nuke emblem in COD MW2. Yes that is kind of silly, but competition can do that. I agree with you though, gaming should not be something to stress or worry about.

    RE: So uhh whos the lightning card for May

    @notoriousheb_psn said in So uhh whos the lightning card for May:

    "Martin Perez or Hader will probably get it to mix things up.

    "Goldschmidt hands down if it is a hitter and it's not close. Betts only has a higher WAR due to the positional adjustment."

    Not sure where you are getting your information, but both players were very close in basically every hitting category during May. Furthermore, Betts lead Goldy in not just WAR, but also in Home Runs, Runs, and K%. If defense matters, then Betts lead in that aspect too.

    @the_dragon1912 said in So uhh whos the lightning card for May:

    @xelrojo44x_mlbts said in So uhh whos the lightning card for May:

    Betts.

    WAR - 2.6 (1st)
    AVG - .355
    HR - 12 (T-1st)
    RBI - 27
    RUNS - 31 (1st)
    K% - 14.5%

    He bats leadoff, so his low K% is important, and to have 27 RBIs for that spot is excellent. He has played gold glove level defense including several assists. No "love from SDS" is needed, he has earned it. His 95 card [should] have nothing to do with this.

    His 95 card has everything to do with it though

    So the POTM award is basically a "participation trophy" for those who do not have great cards yet...and which the best performer is not allowed to get [another] award. SMH
