I wasted my time reading both comments. Give me an L as well.

Perhaps 1 game is too small of a sample size.

Nah. 1 game is not small with those stats. RNG is boosted to the lower ranked team. How can I beat someone ranked 150 points higher than me then lose to someone 75 points lower than me? Both games were comeback wins in the 9th.

SDS, screw hitting. Please fix pitching (accuracy) and guys with no bunting skills laying down perfect bunts every time.

Riddle me this SDS. Guy with 35 bunt rating lays them down perfectly, but a pitcher with 85 control & bb/9 misses the target 70% of the time.

I tried that. Didn’t have anything to complain about. Turned it back on. Started complaining again.

Of course 1 game is too small of a sample size. The point is that the more games you play with those stats, the more likely you're going to come on top.

That shouldn’t be the case. If he out smashes the guy 3-1, he should win. If the guy strikes out 20 times, he’s not a good hitter and shouldn’t be rewarded. RNG knew it and adjusted accordingly to help the guy who couldn’t touch the ball 75% of the time.

People were kidding about this yesterday and it’s real tomorrow. What’s the deal SDS? Another Brave? Why?

Finally showing some love for the best team in the 90’s.

It's not as fun this year. It's such a crapshoot on who will get screwed in each game. I'm hitting homers with balls outside the PCI and the other guy boots routine grounds in the bottom of the 9th to lose. Ever since I changed to analog pitching, it hasn't been as bad. Hitting is just a mess. Law of physics does not apply to this year's game.

I'd 2nd this. I didn't know I could buy the guys on the market. Glad to know I don't have to grind for everything since I don't have the time to do it.

Can we get some communication about this game? All these posts are nothing but negative. The subhumans at corporate refuse to listen and take action about the state of MLB The Show. Is there anything being done to fix the game?

@Kovz88 said in Found & reported yet another bug...:

I'm not saying that its not a bug bit if you accidentally backed out when it asked if you want to bring a new pitcher in for the position player then that player is now on the mound and has to pitch to 3 players. While it sucks that would be a mistake on your end. If that's not what happened then thats a really crappy way to lose a game.

Even if we back out by mistake, we should still have the option to go back into the menu. That’s on SDS for not giving us that option.

@janoosh said in First DDoS attack of the year!!:

Was playing a dude who was grooving pitches and on my 3rd batter I suddenly wasn’t getting any input response. It went back to normal and did this a couple more times before connection was finally lost and I got the L. I’m almost certain it was DDoS because of the suddenness of the lag and return to normal (unsuccessful a few times before finally getting it)

Sorry dude, COD banned me for cheating. Figured I would try it on MLB The Show.

I enjoy Smoltzy. Good fastball and offspeed pitches have a good break to it. 10inns. with 0 runs. Small sample size though.

Nice! Wasn't there a contest back in the day about getting money for throwing the first perfect game online? I don't know if it was the Show or not.

lower the RNG to the bare minimum and we might have an enjoyable ballgame again. Guys who can only generate 2-3 hard hits per game and still win, shouldn't be happening against better players.

@bhall09 said in Anyone else feeling this way:

So, I play this game a lot, like many of you out there, especially during quarantine times. Lately, the past week or so, I've kind of felt bored with it. It feels like when I log on and play, it's simply just working to grind through affinities.

It's not as if I don't have things I want to accomplish, because I pick an affinity and then work on it until I unlock the legend FOTF. But it just seems like I'm excited to play, I get on and then a few minutes later I'm kind of bored with it. Anyone else feeling this? Maybe it's just the quarantine as a whole and I'm bored with being in the house or depressed because my life has no structure right now.

This is not a knock on SDS. They've done well enough with constant content that I always feel like there is something to do. But I dont know what it is. Anyone else feel this way?

I enjoyed the past event series. But I just played an RS game and remembered why I stopped. RNG is too much in control for my liking. 11 squared ups are outs and the other dude only had 4 the entire game. But yet he got all the breaks at the end. I’ll just wait for another fun event to come back.

@loshbomb said in Predict your teams record here and why:

Braves 1-2 games over 500 because they gotta play the nationals 10 times.

hopefully freeman plays, but I see them going 25-35. Braves have a tough schedule. Yanks, Sox, Rays, Phillies, Nats, Mets pitching.

It's because they suck at this game and that's the only way they think they can win. I just hold R2 every at bat when they pull that stunt.

@BronxBomber21942 said in Ranked play:

I’m ten games under 500. I originally bought this game three years ago exclusively for online play. I can’t even play it . I have so many issues . You can say get better and all that and maybe you are right . But I find so many things wrong with this game I can’t even enjoy it. I can pitch better when 64 commons in events than I can with guys I had to spend 100k stubs on. And I’m also sick of losing games where my 3 perfect hits are all outs but the early and late hits I give up constantly cost me . And also , while I’m at it , [censored] that stupid information box they just put it in. This helps nobody , good contact is still not rewarded . I realize this also goes both ways , I throw a lot of pitches that should be crushed and are just not . I just wanted to vent . They could do better in my opinion

I hear ya. I needed to take a break from RS. Thank God for this event. It's been fun not caring about how many runs I'm giving up. I'm just there to grind for stats. It's been a nice breather.

I feel like moonshot has 2 sides. Either it's a 11-10 game or a 3-2 game. I feel like some games lately are nerfed on hitting.
