I understand your frustration but maybe that's the problem. You are so focused on achieving the highest rating possible that anything less than perfect is a failure. Maybe online isn't for you, just try to enjoy the game for what it is. A game.

This whole season I haven't cared about my ratint at all. I made CS. I'm a better player than you. I can win 2-0 and be happy. This is not about enjoying a game. This post about my center fielder dropping a routine fly ball. I haven't seen this in mlb 11, 12, 13, 14,15,16,17,18, or 19 so why is it happening in this game? Don't dodge my question.

Not sure why you came down so hard on that guy? You made CS nice, are you even .500 in ranked ? What are you bragging about. As for the Fielding, did you think the entire forum was lying about it? Welcome to the club, everyone's been dealing with that BS.

Bro thats not even the tip of the ice burg. I'm allowed to brag because I know How good of a player I am. If I was trash at this game I wouldn't have such an Ego. Hitting is [censored], pitching is [censored], and the people on here are soft pussies that get their feelings hurt when someones speaks the truth or honesty.

Idk man sounds like you are the one on here that is getting their feelings hurt when you realize you aren't unique or special.

I'm not in my feelings man I'm just annoyed at people defending the game without any logical reasons that doesn't make sense. I've found ways to enjoy the game and get missions done and stuff. I'm just really competitive so i can't help it. I'm too good in other games

Take the L like a man snowflake

I took the L like a man. Actually i took 4. I took about 50 Ls that could've been wins. I'm still excited to see what other cards they may release

@jz2016cubs said in Stop pausing after every pitch!:

Yesterday I was playing someone in ranked seasons. I was beating them 4-1. After every batter, they would pause for about 20 seconds or more. It drove me INSANE. If I had been losing, I would have quit right there. Thankfully, this guy was dumb enough to leave it paused long enough for the pause time to run out.

The worst is when people used to hold R2 before every pitch and pause everytime they got a hit too. [censored] was annoying.

Agreed. I hold R2 only to either look at the card, the previous pitches, or to see a pitchers stamina/confidence. Some people hold it the whole time. I had that happen yesterday. I would select my pitch, then have to wait 4 seconds to wind up.

I hold R2 to check the pitcher's pitches, confidence, and stamina.

Yep. It's amazing how many feathers are ruffled when you point out obvious glitches and call out cheaters. I strongly suspect that many posters here are the actual cheaters.

They're not cheaters they're just trash and they enjoy winning off of the bs that happens to players better than them. Seeing players better than then struggle raises their self esteem

I'm batting like 100 with charlie Blackmon. I don't even remember hitting a line drive with him yet

@jz2016cubs said in My CF chose not to catch the ball:

I hate when that happens. I have lost at least 5 games because my centerfielder can't catch, even if he is a good fielder.

What's funny is that isn't even the main issue with this game. Hitting is so bad like its terrible. I feel no user input at all and it's gets annoying seeing so many people say that hitting is better when its clearly not.

@ryansitko11 said in I made WS last night:

It was the least fun experience playing The Show I've had in a long time. This isn't a brag post, I'm just sharing my experience and my thoughts about a WS run. Its a lot of rambling so feel free to not read it

I'm a competitive person by nature. Ranked seasons is how I fill my need for competition in my life, especially with COVID-19 and not being able to do anything else. Sadly, ranked seasons has turned into the opposite of competitive. It is nothing but a series of random outcomes where your input as a user hardly matters at all.

Almost every game there was something that made me want to throw my PS4 out the window, whether it be good/okays, or multiple perfect/perfect outs, or my pitches going wherever they want to, or my fielders forgetting how to pick up a baseball. Because of all this, I could only manage to play 2 or 3 games a day for most of the season. There were more days where I didn't play then days I played.

I had been sitting at ~850 and needed to get over the hump, partially because I wanted Britton, and partially to fulfill my competitive desire and finish what I started. So I sat down and grinded it out until I finally got there. In one game, I had about 4 good/squared outs and one perfect/perfect out, while my opponent had 3 total hits, one of which was an early/good home run. I ended up losing that one on a late/squared screamer down the line.

In the game where I made WS, I had 4 runs, only 2 of which were deserved, and my opponent had about 6 instances of hard hit balls going directly to fielders. I can say without a doubt that I didn't deserve that win, or at the least it shouldn't have been a 4-1 game. When I win I want it to feel deserved, and therein lies the problem.

I don't think I'm going to even bother with RS this season. I have no motivation to improve my skills, because what's the point? It was more of a headache than anything battling with RNGesus to make WS this time around. And even when I made it there, I didn't feel it was deserved. It truly is sad to see that what was once a fairly competitive game has devolved into a button clicking simulation where no skill is required to succeed.

Congrats man. Enjoy it. I can't deal with the bs so i don't even care about my rating anymore but you put up with it so good for you.

Game literally doesn't even work. Everyone should be entitled to a full refund for this garbage.

Play something else. This game is terrible. Everyone who thinks this years game is good is trash

@Nats19Champions said in Online play has become a disaster:

I wish I could post a screenshot although I did email it in to the Show team, but I lost a game last night because of a bad call at first that was even worse than Jim Joyce in the perfect game. My runner's foot had crossed the bag literally 2 full seconds before the ball hit the fielder's glove, yet was called out.

Then, in my next game, I was up 3-0 late when everything froze. I left the game on the screen and checked my internet connection, which was running fast and flawlessly. After about an hour, I turned off the game and sure enough, I received a loss despite perfectly working internet and being well ahead in the game.

I am done with online play and certainly with buying stubs or next year's game until you fix these ridiculous bugs and also crack down on cheaters. Playing online is supposed to be fun, instead it's been ruined by glitches and those who exploit them. Enough is enough.

In a 3-3 game in the 6th inning i get under a routine flyball with ty cobb and he literally gets into an animation where he lets the ball drop. Like i can't move him at all. I've never [censored] happen in any show game. I dropped from 840 to 760. This game is [censored] trash. I'm so glad I have other games to play cause Otherwise I'd be more upset. 20 is terrible. Mlb 11 on the psp was a better game and it had no multiplayer.

I've dropped from almost 700 to 400 in 3 days from bad connections to asinine plays that shouldn't happen. I cant hit for [censored] all of the sudden, everything I throw is a HR ball even 10 ft off the plate, and I only have 4000 stubs. My pack luck sucks but I need to switch things up and have no idea wtf to do.

Update. I made it man! Just takes a little mental break. I had 3 straight come from behind games but they were fun and I kept my cool when [censored] didn't go my way and it definitely helped! Just gotta remind yourself that sometimes things dont bounce your way!

Cool i keep getting to the low 820s and 830s and losing to kluber. Any tips on hitting kluber and hitting better in general?

I generally look for one pitch in one location until two strikes and even then i tend to sell out for certain pitches unless i am seeing it well. There's no shame in striking out 20x if you guess sinker up and in and hit a couple homers. That tends to work for me when I am in a funk I will sit changeup down or fastball low and away etc.

Also when pitching, until you're down 3-0, I always place pitches outside of the strike zone, that way if i miss my spot in the middle of the plate, the ball tends to still be at least on the outer or inner half of the plate rather than hung down the middle. Even like a 2-0 fastball rather than putting it on the black I will move it 1-2 ball lengths outside

I haven't tried that against kluber yet so I'll give it a shot. I've tried to hit everything which fails miserably. Thanks this really helps
