    Inconsistent hitting is back with update 1.04

    Different hitters, pci lined up same way, and completely different results: one a laser grounder and the other a shallow fly ball. Wtf??

    DD has taken a step back this year and here's why...SDS PLEASE READ!

    Last year's DD was ADDICTING and the BEST it ever was!! It was fun, engaging and worth the grind all year. As a developer you build on what you create, not remove and replace.

    This year, a few observations that have made DD take a step back in my opinion and I hope SDS is reading:

    1. What happened to the Inning Moments? Where are the moments we played that focused on the careers of the 3 "Bosses"? The Day in History, Boss Battles, etc that earned PROGRAM stars?

    2. Is Showdown essential for having a shot at 300 Stars to get a Boss? If so, that is a crock! It's fun as an alternative to more program stars, since it goes to 1000 now versus like 600 last year.

    3. Update 1.04 today that made adjusted the hitting difficulty just RUINED IT! The hitting PCI in veteran looks like All-Star size. The results are inconsistent: 2 batter, same PCI locate where the ball was hit and 2 completely different results: laser grounder through the infield and other a fly ball to shallow right field. The hitting was CONSISTENT in the results prior to this. PLEASE UNWIND THE 1.04 UPDATE!!

    4. It seems they are forcing you to spend stubs to get deep in the program stars for the Inning Programs. This isn't right! What, SDS didn't make enough money last year??

    So far, I'm disappointed. What does everyone else think?

    Thanks.

    XP Reward Screen change...

    Request to "XP REWARD PATH" screen:

    Please when we select this screen automatically have it load to the last level we redeemed/what current level we're at. It's really annoying swiping right for 5+ second every time when you're in Gold and Diamond level.

    Should be as easy fix for SDS.

    Alternative to more Program Stars WITHOUT ONLINE PLAY...

    The one thing in Diamond dynasty this year that I wish would change and for next year is alternatives to online play for program stars in the Inning programs.

    Example: if there's up to 300 possible program stars you can earn through online playing, have an alternative for non online users. Make like extra missions like stat accumulating like in the 11th inning.

    I dont feel it's fair to force people to play online to enjoy all possible rewards.

    Anyone else agree and feel this is a reasonable change for 2020?

    @GradektheBard said in DD has taken a step back this year and here's why...SDS PLEASE READ!:

    The patched hitting in 1.04 is garbage. No one was asking them to make hitting harder (other than to make pitching more accurate). This patch has made showdown virtually unplayable for average players. Once again, hitting is great at launch and sds mucks it up.

    ABSOLUTELY! We go through this every year. It's great then they screwed it up, then they fix it a few "updates" later even though it was fine the 1st time.

    Kerry Wood done in <2hrs...now what??

    Without real baseball going on, SDS is going to have to do a better job coming up with more content to keep us busy. More moments, missions, this day in history e.t.c.

    The latest player program Kerry Wood took less than 2hrs... 6 missions or so and then a 9 inning game vs the Cubs.

    Pick up the pace SDS. We're going to need more substance without real life baseball.

    That was fast! SDS listened...

    After yesterday's 1.06 patch that eliminated the runner window if auto fielding was on, I immediately made a post about how ridiculous this was.

    With the outpouring of replies and complaints, it's obvious SDS was reading and undid it with today's 1.07 update. That was fast!!

    Thanks to all who made your voice heard on that one!!

    "Lead Runner Window" GONE if Auto fielding ON...WTF?

    "Lead Runner Window will no longer display if the fielder or runner settings are set to "Auto".

    So we have no idea who's where and which runners are advancing or taking an extra base?? Wtf!?!?!? We're being penalized over a personal preference??

    Sds really thought this was of higher importance over other needed tweaks??

    Half-way thru HOF Babe Ruth Moments...Thoughts so far

    I started playing HOF consistently recently and decided to go thru the HOF Moments for the "All-Timers Moments" first while I'm in the "HOF mode" and then take care of the AS stuff later.

    So far, I've beaten the AL 2-0 & NL 2-0, AL East 6-4, Al Central 6-0 and found it interesting that my best offensive output was against the MLB All-Times Squad...won 13-5 and knocked Kluber out in the 3rd Inning! Hardest SP so far was Greg Maddux and Mike Scott. With Maddux, couldn't get myself to consistently get underneath his Sinker/Changeup and Scott's Splitter I couldn't pick up on. Fortunately beat both games 2-0 thanks to my dominant pitching staff.

    It's been exciting and I'm looking forward to grinding through the rest to get "The Babe!"

    RE: Problem with Tatis grand slam while up big?

    Dumbest thing I saw that Woodward was upset. It's never been uncommon to swing at a 3-0 pitch, regardless of runners on or not. You know you'll probably get a strike. Also, managers give the green light a lot on 3-0. Woodward has no reason to complain!! Basic baseball strategy!

    Mike Trout MVP card possessed??

    Anyone else having weird occurrences with this version of Trout? On a single he advances to 2nd base on his own, and just stole 2nd in his own...got in safe then got right up and tried advancing to 3rd base and was tagged out. I didn't touch any buttons!! What's going on!?!?!?

    RE: Always stranded

    @ayman718 said in Always stranded:

    Why are the cpu hitters so inept anytime you get on base? I'm not even exaggerating the cpu probably strikes out 85% of the time anytime i reach base, regardless of the situation. What is this crappola?

    Happened to me all the time when I was first drafted and made my debut with the tigers then traded to kc. Once I was traded to the Mets, it was more balanced

    RE: Record Breakers

    I broke Bonds' single season HR record in my 3rd full season as a Met (2023). Ended with 80HR, 160+ rbi and .411 avg on Dynamic difficulty that was on "Legend/Legend+" all year.

    RE: RTTS - Two Questions

    Only play defense when a coach or managers initiates a boost to defense attributes before a game.

    Batting difficulty "Dynamic" and I've progressed to where it's on Legend/Legend+ consistently.

    RE: The show 21

    @MHHW33 said in The show 21:

    My list of major problems that need addressing for next gen. 1: we need dedicated servers, why this game is still on peer to peer baffles me.
    2: Check swings on pitches your opponent is halfway into the next batters box, very rarely called strikes and happen way to often.
    3: Outer pci needs to be a eliminated completely, very early/very late foul balls until your opponent makes some kind of contact.
    4: We need 100% control over our pitchers again, if I do everything 100% right it shouldn’t end up hanging or in the middle of the plate. I’d also like to see any pitch on the black called a strike, right now it’s a guessing game and inconsistent.
    5: ping based matchmaking, this is by far the worst game online to play when you play a person far away, or one that has bad internet.
    I can keep going but those are my major wants for next year.

    I agree on #4. If according to the pitch window your release or timing was perfect, it should hit the spot 100%. Can't tell you how many times I released the pitch "perfectly" and it still missed the target.

    "Raid" Run-it-back??

    Hey everyone, need your help. Some flashback cards says their location can be found in "Run-it-back" conquest and others says "RAID Run-it-back." What is the latter? Thanks.
