@D_e_m_I_s_E said in First year playing DD now I'm hooked....:
You didn't luck into pulling those diamonds. It is a way to get first year players hooked. People that get a lot of diamond pulls tend to be: Streamers - So the players watching can see the packs are "lit" and go out and by themselves. Also gives the streamers the best chance of being successful. 1st time players - To get them hooked. If you have a decent record, let me know how this plays out the next few years. Bad players - To give them better players to try to help them out. Now, you could not be in any of these and get diamonds but I think it is really rare. These are all marketing ploys which are intended to increase sales.

Why is everything doom and gloom with you?, the guy is excited about his team and enjoying the game, he asked the best way to make stubs and your response was to try and trample on any sort of joy this guy has.
we get it man, you don't like the game because it doesn't cater to you, or because of some grand deep state conspiracy SDS is plotting against you. Keep your negativity to yourself, or better yet just stay off these forums.
because you deserve better than their BS cash grabs, thank you for your service.
I haven't played this game in well over a week, I jumped on the other day to get some feedback on how the game was playing since the latest patch and it wasn't good feedback lol. Sadly I think this year The Show is going to be put on the shelf and used sparingly. I have no desire to play RS or events and thats really disappointing, was really hoping to enjoy this game all summer long. Anyone else having trouble finding the desire to play this game as much as they have in the past?.
I hope to see people realize there is a global pandemic going on and that SDS is not considered essential, nor should they risk their lives to appease a bunch of adult children.
If you think this game is bad and you think SDS is bad, you clearly haven't played an EA sports title.
the meta is leave the pci in the centre of the plate and wait for the game to force your opponent to throw you a meatball. Game plays great if you don't have to pitch.
well, that was a well written insightful opinion
@ELJOSHAUA said in What happened!?!?!?!?:
Whenever I play rs I’m a 700-800 level player. I’ve been playing the show since 2009 and DD since 2017 but this is by far the worst the game has been. Hitting was great at launch and now it’s horrible. Idk what it is but pci placement is horrible, I move the pci exactly where the pitch is and it is never where I want it, the timing is horrible. I can sit fastball and be too late on 93 mph which is bs and then other times I’ll be ver early on the same pitch. Pitching is horrible, the ball goes nowhere where I set it, everything is either down the pipe or nowhere near the strike zone. Fielding is awful, my outfielders can’t catch a routine fly all or stop a grounder. Fix the game!!
Simple, people asked them to fix pitching, so they did what anyone would do when asked to fix something, fix something completely different.
People can say what they want about 2K but at least when I time my jumpshot perfectly I am rewarded.
@G___Wood said in Happy Patch Day everyone:
Just deal with it. Be happy we have the best baseball game on the market.
a game where fielding, hitting and pitching are all broken is the best baseball game on the market? LMFAO
the only thing saving this dumpster fire is that it's the only baseball game on the market.
ah I love all these new DD players, petulance everywhere.
"You struck me out 3 times in a row because I have zero patience at the plate?, time to pause every 15 seconds!"
ahh good to see nothing has changed about this game, thank you all, every time I want to start this game up and play a ranked season game, I am reminded of why I stopped playing 3 months ago. Is anyone still playing the show 19? its not much better than this, but at least I don't have to face 5 starters every game.
Post's like these remind me why I stopped playing this game online, petulant people.

I think it’s fine if you are a Jays fan and live in Calgary, but Seattle is my team. Toronto is not the center of Canada, despite what it says on Sportsnet.

Once or twice a year, Safeco gets filled with Jays fans singing O Canada and doing the wave. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super grateful to be Canadian, especially at times like this, but it’s embarrassing to have a horde of Tragically Hip fans invade your home park and cheer against you.

whoa what do you have against the 'hip'?
@Kovz88 said in There needs to be a better way:
While I respect your right to your opinion, in my opinion if you dont like the "thats baseball" argument you shouldn't be playing a baseball game because that is indeed baseball. Sometimes you square up the ball perfectly but it was just the perfect pitch location to neutralize your power.
I don't think people are complaining about pitches on the hands not clearing the wall by 100 ft. They are complaining that at times a pitch on the hands clears the wall by 100 ft., while a squared up hanger goes for a line out or deep fly out.
@Swissy14 said in It would be appreciated if:
@bonion said in It would be appreciated if: Matchmaking based on wins is fair IMO. I see your point but it would also then take CS & WS just as long to collect W’s. I’ve seen many diamond tier players in the events who rep the P chase emblem or have around a .500 W/L average. Are you suggesting matchmaking based on tier level? Idk what to suggest, I'm just saying the players who are prestige level at this point in the year are obviously better players make someone who is a 65 silver level. They either are so good they grinding spend hours upon hours on the game or put extra money into the game. I just want to face players who are around my skill level.

most of the people are booster's, yes it sucks to get matched up with them due to the strength of their team, but a lot of them aren't as skilled as you assume.
I love when people try to invoke a moral clause
@dogslax41 said in Why So Many Desperate Players?:
Or he wasn't desperate at all and that's just the way he chooses to play the game and does it the same way every time RS/Event/BR. He's got one switch man. All game 7 all the time.
If you are playing a video game likes its game 7 of the world series you have issues that can not be turned on and off with a 'switch'

@JEEZY-E said in Well, it was fun while it lasted.: @bwheel1977 said in Well, it was fun while it lasted.: @yanksthebest said in Well, it was fun while it lasted.: No such thing as quick pitching. actually yeah there is... It's a dumb mechanic allowed in the game. The pitchers should have to come to a stop. It's sad that people can only get people out this way... quick pitching has been around in this game for awhile, from my experiences this year I noticed that pitchers were far more accurate when I came to a complete stop. Hangers still happened, but not as frequently. people who can't locate use qp as a way to get people out. I think it's a horrendous feature. I mean people will put pitchers who pitch from the stretch the whole game so they can just flood you with pitches and hope to keep you off guard. It doesn't happen in high tiers but in BR and in all star it happens constantly...

I know, I have played this series for years lol but like I said, this year, coming completely set whether it's from the stretch or full wind up actually improves pitch accuracy. I have not played this game in awhile but I would always get a hanger from someone trying to quick pitch me. So if people want to quick pitch, thats fine, it may be stupid but at least it feels like they are punished for it far more often.
Meh, at least we have the Korean League, its nice to wake up to baseball before work haha
