So I was laying in bed and got up to write this post. I had a few frustrating games on MLB The Show tonight and turned it off. When reflecting on everything, I started thinking about everything going on in the world with this epidemic. Many human beings have lost their lives due to this epidemic. Many families have been through a horific experience with their loved ones dying and not being able to be with them during their final time on earth. Many others are dealing with unemployment and wondering how they are going to eat or pay their bills. Hopefully, everyone on the forum is safe and not having to deal with these issues. I am fortunate in the fact I have been working from home and haven't yet (and hopefully don't) have to deal with this epidemic first hand.
Now I am as guilty as others about being frustrated with the game but when you turn on CNN or some other news channel, having issues with an online game is extremely trivial. Maybe SDS employees are dealing with some of those issues I mentioned before. I am going to refrain from posting on frustrations of the game and hope when this passes that they can then work on the game. I do hope everyone stays safe.
You took a 7-0 lead in the top of the 2nd and I was about to quit until you started watching your HR's the entire time. I then decided I was just going to play it out and waste your time. Was pretty fun putting up a 12 spot and watching all 5 HR's at full length. Don't be a peter and you would have got the win in the 2nd and been on your way to another game. Instead you got the loss and deleted your pitching staff.
Why do people feel they need to watch HR replays? Games are long enough as it is. I will do it when you do though.
Relievers get tired walking in from the pen.
Can't score 4 runs off Cole because I have to hit into 5 double plays on good swings. Also enjoy the gold glove fielders every where diving like it's a sportscenter highlight reel.
@joshdcarr25 said in I really hate online play.:
I hate ranked seasons because of this. It feels like whoever has the weaker lineup gets the favored outcome. I played someone recently that had a losing record and .231 average. My average in ranked is .301. I had 16 dead or near dead center good/okays for outs and lost the game. I usually can tell early if I am going to lose when I start getting an obsessive amount of good/okay and my pitches float down the middle despite perfect input. It sucks because online play is my favorite but it's ruining it for me.
There are a ton of tell tale signs that show you will probably lose the game. If they don't exist, it is usually a very early quit for my opponent. If they are, I am either going to lose or it will be a dog fight. Jumpy pci when hitting Good/good+ rarely results in hits Throw either down the middle or ball - jumpy pci when pitching Opponents get hits on everything Strikes on corners Fielding blunders (quite a few different ones) Base stealers get very poor jumps Extra long or very slow returns when rounding a base
Pretty sure there are a few I am forgetting but when you see these signs it is best to cut bait and quit or you will get get frustrated and it is a complete waste of time. The ONLY way to win these games (which is possible) is if your opponent swings at balls outside the zone or can't hit pitches down the middle. Based on these, I can usually tell within the first 3 innings whether I am going to win. Game is extremely predictable if you pay attention to the signs.
Last two days, every pitch is either right over the plate or a ft outside. Never had this issue in an other show game. Every time I square up a fastball it is foul. I have now hit more foul HR's than regular. Can't even react to pitches or recognize them. Had no issues on Thursday. Had someone 30 pitches deep with their reliever dotting pitches. My guys are uncontrollable after a batter.
I can only imagine how other people are feeling. I am 34-13 in HOF event and 20-6 in RS and it just hasn't been fun the last 2 days. I have tried every pitching I can and every way. Particular enjoyed the 2 perfect meter pitches missing the mark by 2 feet.
Getting pretty old having to outscore people while throwing meatballs every fckn pitch. Analog, pulse, meter - it doesn't matter. Good release, bad release. They all seem to find their way right down the middle. Another absolutely worthless patch. If this is how pitching is going to be the whole time, just let me know.
I'll take 18 with the souvenirs and exchanges 10 times over this pile of [censored] where every pitch is down the middle or a ball. The reason hitting is easy is because you have to serve the ball on a silver fckn platter.
The only way I can half enjoy this game is to play on a mobile hot spot. That is so ridiculous it is laughable.

@Trudgeon said in Why is this game so hated? Voice you complaints here.: Playing online, there is hardly any skill involved/needed. What’s the point of pci and perfect pitch releases if the ball is thrown down the middle and if you can hit homeruns on pitches where the pci isn’t even on it. Yet you can get perfect perfect fly outs all the time. It’s not fun playing a game where you have no control over it I played yesterday hit a perfect/perfect with a right hander and was a Warner track fly out to right center. I looked at the pitch and was low and away fast ball. Now many batters have opposite field power. So even though it was perfect/ perfect was was a perfect hit for that pitch and location. Not every hit can be a home run. No need to complain all the time just have fun with the game.

I think you would be surprised at how many people could take losses if they thought the game play was fair. Match me up against players with similar ping and if someone can beat me 10-0 congrats! More than likely an opponent with similar pings my user input would match the result. With the connections and matchmaking like they currently are it is difficult to get excited about winning a game 10-0. Was my opponent seeing the 120 mph sinkers that I see a lot? Was he getting good input for pitching and the balls going no where near where they were putting them? That is what comes to mind when I win.

@abbyspapa said in Predetermined losses?: @MINISTRO787 said in Predetermined losses?: Ahhh yes... The old "comeback logic & predetermined losses" themes are back! Just like The Silver and Bronze Marlins vs Diamond deGrom and the mighty Mets yesterday. That comeback and subsequent loss was definitely predetermined... But it does make you wonder how you program a video game to replicate that reality. How would you code the "That's baseball" variability? You got me brother... I don't believe in comeback logic and much less in predetermined losses. Just trying to spread some humor on something I personally find propostuous. The ball is round... Anyone can win a baseball game.

It has been proven to exist in other sports games. It is a way to keep people engaged, keep them from quitting and having them spend money. There is a reason in Madden and you're up 14-0 that your guy fumbles. The Show is just like any other sports game. They can't hide it forever. It will come out eventually. They denied it in Madden for years until someone found the code.

Must’ve played @D_e_m_I_s_E

Was. Traded out my fiber network box and google TV for a really good Asus router. Saw some minor improvements with PUBG as far as better hit registration. More of my bullets seem to connect now as before it seems like I was shooting rubber bullets a lot of times. That was really the only difference in that game. I have definitely been winning more gun fights than I previously did.
Haven't played very much of MLB The Show. Very early analysis with new router is it seems my pitchers don't leave near as many pitches over the middle. Still don't seem to get rewarded enough for good, good swings but haven't really played enough to draw a good conclusion. I did get matched up with one person and the lineup screen was really laggy. I played anyway since I didn't give a [censored] but I was wondering how I got matched up with him since I have an optimized fiber connection in the middle of the U.S. and it seemed like he was playing in a cave in Afghanistan. How did the game pick him as home team?

Of course I just ignore it and let his pause timer run down. After about a minute he withdraws his friendly quit request. Game resumes without much happening in the first inning. I’m pitching with 99 Kershaw and he’s using 99 Scherzer. In the second I strike out the side on like 12 pitches and I come to bat. First hitter walks and the second hitter is Rogers Hornsby. Scherzer immediately hangs a slider that I promptly deposit into the first row of the left field bleachers If he didn’t dashboard. This always perplexed me. How are you going to rage quit in the second inning just because you throw one bad pitch. I mean I’m sure I’m going to throw a bad pitch at some point as well but quitting that early makes zero sense and only penalized you for not putting it behind you and making good pitches. I’ll take the W and the free points but I would’ve rather play it out. That’s just me. How bout you guys. Does it chap your behind all this quitting. What’s the point if you’re going to quit. Why even play the game? So I thought it may be the network box from google causing issues with my online gaming. Finally talked the wife into getting rid of google TV (since we were paying too much anyway and didn't really need it). Got a really good router and set up qos. Hasn't seemed to matter at all. Still play people with [censored] connections. Still run into the same garbage. Why quit? Why play a game when I know the outcome in the first inning? Why should I waste 45 minutes of my time on a game I already know what's going to happen? Maybe the guy put the pitch on the low outside corner with perfect release and it went over the middle of the plate. That is just one of many signs that your connection to your opponent isn't good and there will be plenty of bs to come. I have quit out of 200 games this year. I don't think I have quit out of more than 5 in any previous game. This game's matchmaking is flat out terrible. I was honestly hoping that the game would play great on the new router and I was prepared to post a thread eating crow and apologizing to SDS. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. It wasn't the network box. It is just poor matchmaking on SDS' part. Why is it that I don’t see these issues that you speak of. I mean generally speaking I know when I’ve made a bad pitch. And I also pay close attention to a pitchers attributes because that will dictate whether I can expect to hang good input pitches. And if I’m using someone that can do that on occasion I make adjustments like intentionally throwing pitches out of the zone so as to not hang the pitch. My connection is a normal 300 mbps plan and (knock on wood) I don’t disconnect or have connection related issues that you’re describing. Why is this? It just seems to that some people complain for the sake of complaining because they think that their skill is better than it really is. And when something goes wrong it must be something or someone else’s fault. That’s my observation for the most part. Even content creators rarely complain like some people I see in these forums. So again I ask why are we so different than you? What are we doing differently other than either you have a bad provider or you’re really not as good as you claim to be. And this isn’t a knock on you it’s just the reality of the situation. Bro how long have you been playing this year? Things like that happen all the time. Pitches miraculously go where they want regardless of the input. I’ve hit home runs where my PCI was no where near the [censored] ball. I’m not going through the list but those two are evidence enough to quit. I know RNG is present but when it’s that obvious I’m out I don’t care what inning it is You’re entitled to your opinion I’m just saying that I take responsibility for my results and don’t blame things like “RNG”, p/p input not going over the wall or magical bad pitches. I’m a 700-800 player consistently and occasionally make ws when I have the time to do it. I have all of 11 losses in RS at the time of this post. What makes my situation so different from those that constantly complain about everything under the sun to justify their results? I pitch to a decent 2.9-3 era and I have a team batting average exceeding .320. Im not special. I just play and take responsibility for the mistakes I make. It just boggles my mind that people rationalize their results by blaming things that they can’t prove and use anecdotal evidence as their crutch. I have lost over 300 games with over 200 disconnects. You really think I care about losing? There is an issue with the game. It IS that simple. The wisdom of idiots.

And when something goes wrong it must be something or someone else’s fault. That’s my observation for the most part. Even content creators rarely complain like some people I see in these forums. So again I ask why are we so different than you? What are we doing differently other than either you have a bad provider or you’re really not as good as you claim to be. And this isn’t a knock on you it’s just the reality of the situation.
@KILLERPRESENCE4 said in RS headshakers: So I’m making a late push to get to WS for this month and the gamer it matches me with immediately attempts to friendly quit me. Of course I just ignore it and let his pause timer run down. After about a minute he withdraws his friendly quit request. Game resumes without much happening in the first inning. I’m pitching with 99 Kershaw and he’s using 99 Scherzer. In the second I strike out the side on like 12 pitches and I come to bat. First hitter walks and the second hitter is Rogers Hornsby. Scherzer immediately hangs a slider that I promptly deposit into the first row of the left field bleachers If he didn’t dashboard. This always perplexed me. How are you going to rage quit in the second inning just because you throw one bad pitch. I mean I’m sure I’m going to throw a bad pitch at some point as well but quitting that early makes zero sense and only penalized you for not putting it behind you and making good pitches. I’ll take the W and the free points but I would’ve rather play it out. That’s just me. How bout you guys. Does it chap your behind all this quitting. What’s the point if you’re going to quit. Why even play the game? So I thought it may be the network box from google causing issues with my online gaming. Finally talked the wife into getting rid of google TV (since we were paying too much anyway and didn't really need it). Got a really good router and set up qos. Hasn't seemed to matter at all. Still play people with [censored] connections. Still run into the same garbage. Why quit? Why play a game when I know the outcome in the first inning? Why should I waste 45 minutes of my time on a game I already know what's going to happen? Maybe the guy put the pitch on the low outside corner with perfect release and it went over the middle of the plate. That is just one of many signs that your connection to your opponent isn't good and there will be plenty of bs to come. I have quit out of 200 games this year. I don't think I have quit out of more than 5 in any previous game. This game's matchmaking is flat out terrible. I was honestly hoping that the game would play great on the new router and I was prepared to post a thread eating crow and apologizing to SDS. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. It wasn't the network box. It is just poor matchmaking on SDS' part.

Why is it that I don’t see these issues that you speak of. I mean generally speaking I know when I’ve made a bad pitch. And I also pay close attention to a pitchers attributes because that will dictate whether I can expect to hang good input pitches. And if I’m using someone that can do that on occasion I make adjustments like intentionally throwing pitches out of the zone so as to not hang the pitch.

Bro how long have you been playing this year? Things like that happen all the time. Pitches miraculously go where they want regardless of the input. I’ve hit home runs where my PCI was no where near the [censored] ball. I’m not going through the list but those two are evidence enough to quit. I know RNG is present but when it’s that obvious I’m out I don’t care what inning it is
You’re entitled to your opinion I’m just saying that I take responsibility for my results and don’t blame things like “RNG”, p/p input not going over the wall or magical bad pitches. I’m a 700-800 player consistently and occasionally make ws when I have the time to do it. I have all of 11 losses in RS at the time of this post. What makes my situation so different from those that constantly complain about everything under the sun to justify their results? I pitch to a decent 2.9-3 era and I have a team batting average exceeding .320. Im not special. I just play and take responsibility for the mistakes I make. It just boggles my mind that people rationalize their results by blaming things that they can’t prove and use anecdotal evidence as their crutch.
I have lost over 300 games with over 200 disconnects. You really think I care about losing? There is an issue with the game. It IS that simple.
The wisdom of idiots.
Yea. Sorry I'm not up to your intellectual level.

And this isn’t a knock on you it’s just the reality of the situation. If google fiber is bad, then guess so. Fiber is regarded as the best internet in the U.S. Your 300 mbps plan is irrelevant. That number doesn't mean anything when it comes to online video games. I've never had problems making WS in this game multiple times per game. Haven't made it on this one. Guess my skills just "eroded". lol Bandwidth is most definitely a must to game consistently online. Quality of service is also a must for a pleasant gaming experience. Being a network engineer for Comcast I have a rather unique perspective on what your arguing. If you’re signal quality is bad then you’re going to have issues no matter what service youre using. And when I’m talking about signal quality I’m not talking about the rf spectrum I’m talking about bit error rate and modulation error rate which dictate both your picture quality and internet quality in a qam based system which is how you recieve your service. Whether you have fiber or coax it doesn’t matter if these problems are present. So please don’t give me a lecture on something that you clearly don’t have an understanding of. If I were you I would find out what the jitter looks like when you do a speed test. If your jitter is lower than 10 ms than you most likely don’t have the problems I’ve stated above. If it exceeds 10 ms than you might need to contact your ISP to troubleshoot what is going on. It could be as simple as bad wiring or as complicated as cracked fiber in the system or broke trunk cable in a coax system.

I mean that first line is a matter of symantecs. One one hand I could argue bandwidth is a must. You must have like 3 mb up/2 mb down (something like this) in order to play online games. From that statement, I could also argue that bandwidth is not a must but ping, jitter and packet loss matter the most.
You are a network engineer and you are saying that fiber and coax are the same? Seriously. Not when talking gig speeds. I like that you use this when saying less than 100 to make cable internet look better. It is not. Fiber is far superior.
BTW - I have no jitter.

@PennStateFencer said in Question about PS4:
Are you sure Sony wasn’t trying to destroy the PS4 in order to make you buy a PS5? I find that to be a far more likely scenario than there being a minor glitch in the Playstation Store requiring you to redownload from the download list as opposed to the game purchase screen. All jokes aside, I’m glad you were able to fix it. That kind of stuff is a pain. The fact that Sony is willing to bring Miles Morales, Sackboy, and Horizon to PS4 when there aren’t a ton of reasons to upgrade at launch shows they are not abandoning the PS4 audience immediately, for better or worse. That probably wouldn’t have been as big of a deal if they didn’t hype up their belief in generations so much leading up to launch. Reminds me a bit of the arrogant can’t pick a lane PS3 era Sony, which is not a great sign.

PS5 launch titles have been a huge disappointment so far. I haven't seen anything yet that makes me want to go out and buy a 5 at launch.
@eatyum said in Best player in MLB not named Trout?:
Obviously the Cardinals outfield of Harrison Bader, Tyler O'Neill and Dexter Fowler, all other teams are so jealous of that highly productive outfield. Kidding aside though, that's tough to pick one. Probably Soto? I mean Trout is still considered #1 and he's not really the defensive whiz he was earlier in his career, so I don't think Soto should get dinged for it either. But I do think Mookie has a great case as well. I don't want to count the troubles vs lefties as an issue until we get more of a sample size then this season, he hit .368 vs lefties in his 2018 season and was ok at .271 last year.

If it wasn't for Merrifield playing CF, the Royals would crush the Cards in outfield incompetence. I do like the pick up we got for Rosenthal. Got some potential there. The Royals have already succeeded my 21-39 prediction. Bullpen has been a huge surprise and really good. Really like what I see in Singer and Bubic also.
