Just got an “invalid node state” message in Showdown and got a loss without even entering the game. Stupid.

Started a BR run today with a routine fly ball to Mike Trout that he completely whiffed on thanks to crappy animations.

Also, why do high fastballs seem like they’re coming in at 110 mph, while low changes and sliders appear to be 75 mph? The timing windows are completely erratic.

Double plays are fun to hit into every time someone is on first.

I love good/okay hits when the ball is pretty much dead center in the PCI.

Two outs? How about you allow an extra 4 runs before the game is over?

Ugh. Just needed to vent. This game is extremely disappointing.

Locked in a freeze off in a BR run. I’m in the lead and I’m one win away from nabbing Acuna. Looked through the opponent’s profile and game history and there seems to be a trend of winning games when down or losing. Looks like the opponent uses freeze glitches to get wins.

One of the opponent’s recent freeze offs against a top player went overnight.

Is there a way to report this?

Setting aside all the issues at release in the past, there is something exciting about the new season--setting up a new team, going over new content, etc. Playing people with golds and low level diamonds is also a nice break from playing god squads. Overall, the pre-order, for me, is more so an experience than anything else.

I'm going to avoid playing moments out the gate. I wasted a lot of time early in 2019 trying to grind those broken moments.

The other thing to avoid is buying cards and packs out the gate. Most cards are heavily inflated early. I'm just going to grind with whatever pre-order cards I obtain. I might just put together a competitive silver / gold squad and see how far it takes me.

I'm thinking of using the initial stockpile of stubs to put together a good BR team, but we'll see. The other option would be grinding to world series right out the gate, but I don't plan on buying stubs or cards, so that might be hard. Nevertheless, that component of strategy is what makes early MLB the Show so much fun.

The worst is when someone accepts defeat in Battle Royal, but just goofs around, intentionally misses catches, and lets you score 35 runs. There's no ten-run rule in that mode, so you could literally make the game go on as long as you want.

Free packs have better odds. Don’t waste your stubs.

I also am having issues with timing. I find myself late in changeups at times. Fastballs seem incredibly OP since the last patch.

Stats aren’t adding for catchers. What’s the deal? Anybody else experiencing this?

I had the same problem recently. Something weird is going on.

@Quinn2161 said in Showdown elimination glitch:

Just tried the first inning showdown for first time, paid the 500 stubs, got to first elimination challenge and went to play but the moment didnt load kicked me to main screen and when I went back in said moment wasnt completed and counted as a loss and ended my showdown.

Was just about to get a pack and burnt 500 stubs for nothing. Hopefully this doesn't happen again but I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Just dont want to waste my time or stubs for this to happen again.

I just had this happen to me as well. But in the starter showdown.

I used Diego Castillo twice in a BR run this evening. I use pulse pitching, and whenever I hit the pitch button, a delay in output would occur causing a late pitch.

What’s perhaps worse is that, whenever a ball was hit and fielded, button accuracy would lock in the red zone on every throw.

Once I took Diego Castillo off the mound, the issues stopped.

Almost lost a BR game over this issue. At the very least, I’ll have to go through an entire BR run without a silver RP pitcher.

Anyone else notice something similar?

@appleceder said in Throwing Glitches:

Am I the only one that get random red color glitches and the fielders throw the ball all over the field like every other game? I am curious about that

I just experienced the same problem. I noticed it whenever I had Diego Castillo pitch in BR. All throws would lock in the red zone on button accuracy. Almost lost a BR game over it.
