@eatyum said in Game is not perfect but stfu already:

Really the biggest issue is the fielding right now. If you remember 19 last year had the same issues early (Mostly with outfielders not locking in near the wall.)

It was fixed faster last year, but I'm ok with giving them a bit of a leash for not having it figured out yet with everything going on. But if we start getting towards the end of April and it's still the same, I prob won't be happy,

I can certainly understand giving leeway given the current situation, but doesn't it strike you as strange that the game has the same issues it did last year?

Some people might expect that a game released a year later would not have the exact same issues, because they were clearly identified in the previous year.

You know like, "ok guys we expect issues, but not the very SAME issues we had last year. Those we can thoroughly test for ahead of time since we already know about them..."

@Dolenz said in The three features that received the most L's in todays stream:

1. Prestige Diamonds can only be earned by grinding stats online
2. If you collect a card then that card is completely unsellable. No quick selling.
3. Three Batter minimum applies in BR (I don't play BR and this seems extreme even to me)

Overall, I loved all the new stuff and it pushed me forward to pre-order. The first one is really the only one that kind of tilted me a little.

#1 is going to cause a lot more people to complain about dashboarders...

Dear MarinerMatt01,

Thank you for your letter, it is overly welcome during this dark time.

Mother is well and has recovered quite well from the gout she had contracted over the winter months.

As to the central topic of your missive, unfortunately I am unable to assist with this matter as I have been called away to Charleston to garrison at Fort Sumter till the fall.

I have dispatched a telegraph to my able colleague at 2nd base and he assured me that he will be along in due time to rectify the matter in my stead.

Warm regards,

Outfielder

@notoriousHEB said in Joe Carter most underrated player:

But overall it's laughable he's a 93 overall.

It's actually extremely appropriate that he's a 93. Touch 'em all Joe

Relax, it's Earth Day, so pitching is naturally a bit harder due to gravity. Try again tomorrow.

I really think he should have been a 95, I just don't see him on the same level as someone like Oswalt, I think his career will be more like Mathewson based off all that he has accomplished so far.

I feel like this post would pair really nicely with some semi-soft Gruyère.

@nymets1987 said in BR really needs to be shifted to HOF difficulty:

Do you want to give some of us any hope

Should good players be tapered because outcomes at AS difficulty are inconsistent? In a 3 inning game, those good/okays and weak singles matter a lot more.

If AS played consistently like HOF, it wouldn’t be a problem, but randomness in 3 inning games can ruin an entire run. I’ve already lost 2 flawless runs because of good/okay fly balls. Yeah, the 12 win rewards help for LS collections, but you’re essentially missing out on another 150k+ stubs because of inconsistencies. I’ve just been running the event hoping to get decent rewards because I strongly prefer HOF gameplay

You answered your own question.

Randomness in BR makes it more difficult for even above average players to go 12-0 over and over again.

It also allows average players to believe they have a chance and keep spending the stubs trying.

If you had a mode where input was rewarded more, the same people would keep winning the flawless rewards over and over again.

It's marketed and set up to encourage the maximum amount of players to believe they can do it. Pretty plain to see.

Ah [censored], here we go again...

Believe it or not, some people play this game for fun, not SimInvestor2020.

I don't understand them, but there they are.

Simple answer: non-disclosure agreements.

That and you generally don't go around discussing how your proprietary software is coded on public forums, at least not in much detail.

@Psycho__Kinetic said in How can a game with this amount of simulation and RNG be considered competitive?:

Here's what I dont understand. EVERY YEAR people complain about RNG nad the game 'catering' to 'Little Billy' players; yet the SAME peoplw that complain buy it EVERY single year.

If you 'KNOW' its not going to be based on ability; why do you still buy it?

Some of us don't have enough beeswax handy to resist the temptingly dangerous siren calls of Ramone.

@C_ypress_H_ill said in How can a game with this amount of simulation and RNG be considered competitive?:

Shouldn’t the better player always win?

I ask myself the same question every time I'm counting the Chance and Community Chest cards like a boss and still end up losing.

Your title had me worried my trip to Kamchatka was going to disappoint.

Clearly he was trying to eat the ball, but didn't have the crystal shards perk.

My initial feedback is that the timing windows for the homerun OSD seem to be pretty good.

With this update, I feel I am being properly rewarded for hitting the x button and the banner goes away.

Great job guys!

@DriveByTrucker17 said in Players cards I would love to see:

I remember bolded text during his Rockies years. What a stud that guy was.

Maybe, but he had nothing on

That guy was on a whole nother level.

@mjfc_363 said in Did SDS do a major overall on game mechanics?:

SDS programmers need to do the right thing and just resign.

Except the one that designed the home run banner code. That dev should be teaching the NSA how to write persistent code.

Imagine everyone backing out of games when they see Joe West as the plate umpire.

Nah, this happens all the time in real life baseball.

I distinctly remember Bonds losing credit for a HR because the camera feed went out before the ball landed.
