Take the free win and quit whining.
If you're gonna complain about anything, then complain about the horrendous pitching where pitches get constantly forced over the middle of the plate.
@Onyx_Hokie_2 said in Quitters:
From my perspective, the frequency of mid-game quitting is getting ridiculous. Case in point from a few minutes ago: Important Note - The game in question was within the current Event Bottom of the 1st, score tied at 0, 2 outs. I hit a deep solo home run with Mike Trout, and before the ball crosses the wall my opponent quits out of the game. WTAF?! From the point of view of wanting to do well in the Event, I don't mind the easy win. On the other hand, I didn't join the Event for the glory of accumulating wins in said Event. I joined the Event because I want to play baseball online against other human beings and I tend to expect that there will be fewer instances of cry/pout-quits when the teams are even(ish) by default. Previously, most of the quits I have experienced have been perpetrated by opponents who were overmatched at the time of the quit, either via roster differences or after I've gotten a big lead in the game. But for Pete's sake... bottom of the 1st, after giving up a single run, with even teams? I believe that SDS should do at least one of the following, ideally all of them: 1st instance of quitting mid-game: 30-minute ban from online play 2nd instance of quitting mid-game: 2-hour ban from online play 3rd instance of quitting mid-game: 8-hour ban from online play 4th instance of quitting mid-game: 24-hour ban from online play Any further instances of quitting mid-game: 72-hour ban from online play Put quitters into a separate pool of players for online play, an area populated solely by players who have quit mid-game within the past week. Label player icons with a badge indicating their percentage of games they've quit. In online play, after the teams have been set and shown to the players, but before a single pitch is thrown, give opponents the option to avoid playing someone with a quit percentage over a certain value. The culture that has developed in online play for The Show - a sad exponent of our culture in general at present - enables the immediate rejection of anything which a certain type of person finds to be disappointing, not to their liking, etc. It's bad for the people whose time is wasted and it's bad for the game overall. Something needs to be done about it, in my opinion. What do you think? All the best, Bryan

I would like to respectfully say that your proposal is the dumbest thing I've ever read. What are you, the Playstation Police wanting to give bans out?
I would take a 1st inning win because of an opponent quitting vs. playing the entire game, or even worse going into extra innings 100% of the time. I've never quit a game in the first inning, but I have mid or even towards the end of the game because I just rather not deal with the bullish the game dishes out sometimes.
Bottomline, people can quit if they want, and you're nobody to tell them otherwise. Facts.
Hey SDS, if you're gonna completely ignore user input and force a pitch, how about forcing the pitch on the corner for a strike instead of dead center over the middle of the plate.
It may seem subtle and not much of an improvement, but at least, there will be less of a chance for them to take it out of the park by center swinging....Geezus.

@onnagood1 said in Can you report someone for not playing?: Sorry, no disrespect, but posts like this are just beyond ridiculous. Not trying to pass judgment on you, but on the surface, it sounds like you want to report a guy because you're racking up stats and you're the one who's benefiting from the game?...sounds ridiculous right? I've intentionally walked plenty of players, and even back-to-back batters more than a few times for strategic purposes. So you really don't know if he's intentionally allowing you to rack up stats. Maybe he just really sucks...after all, he's the one asking you for the win. If you want to report him, I hate to know what you want to do to the guy when the role gets reversed. Dude it wasn't even strategic he straight up wasn't playing and just letting pitches go right down the middle wasn't moving any of the fielder's or trying to get outs that's what annoyed me like [censored] I don't mind getting stays but I'm also trying to get better at the game and that doesn't help

So once you've reached level of satisfaction of boosting your stats, you then purposely strikeout to expedite the game. Although, it may be frustrating, you can't really complain for coming out with the win. Move on to the next game, and continue your attempt at getting better. Done.
Congrats to whole Dodger organization!
What a game!
That's all we ask? Who's we? I feel like you're standing alone on this one. If we had a vote on the ability to fix one thing, I don't believe the majority would choose hitting as you described.
Although getting good timing/good pci go for outs may be frustrating and a valid issue amongst some, I feel like pitch accuracy and check-swinging issues would be in the forefront of gameplay issues. At least that's what seems to be the consensus based on previous posts in this community forum.
Decided to do pickup from Denny's Restaurant on Turkey & Dressing Dinner. Don't judge me lol. Passed on big family thing due to Covid this year but still able to enjoy turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, the whole nine. Excited and feeling good because we eat this kind of meal only once a year, and I must say, it is delicious!
Well, I'm prepping to go from a joyous and thankful feeling to feelings of frustration by hopping into this RS game I'm about to begin.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!!
@KierannosaurusK said in My polite gesture:
They say to be the change you want to see in the world, that’s why after every win, I personally message my opponents and tell them why they lost and how to improve. For example earlier today I said, “Good game (username). The reason you lost was because you hung sliders and your overall skill could use improvement.” It’s a small gesture but I know it can make someone’s day, which is why I go out of my way to do it

Here's a towel to wipe off all the tomatoes that the crowd threw at you while you were on stage.
What do you mean complete all games prior to that time?
How are you suppose to complete a game if you can't even start one? LOL
It's not you, it's the game. And if things turn around, and you start hitting again,....just remember, it's not you, it's the game.
I've never played a game with more inconsistencies in gameplay than MLB The Show....pick a year...any year.
I would be open to any ideas such as this, so as long as the less than stellar gameplay doesn't get bypassed for much needed improvements.
@KILLERPRESENCE4 said in DD Idea 2021:
@BuckLacy said in DD Idea 2021: What they should have is a system to commend your opponents and you would get rewards for accumulating such commendations. It might cut down on some online shenanigans. They did this years ago before DD, where you rated your opponent based on the in game experience. They removed it because sore losers would abuse it and damage your reputation which could ultimately lead to a temporary ban of online play if you reached a certain reputation level. I think bringing it back would be great if the SDS team would actually review the game footage and determine whether a bad game rep was actually warranted.

Anything that could lead to a ban that is unwarranted, is a horrible idea. Therefore, the removal was the appropriate action taken.
@saintleo14 said in DD Idea 2021:
Would you guys be interested in seeing energy having an impact on positional players as well next year? While many might say, “no way in he11” this could allow for some opportunities to use bench players a bit more, adding a bit of strategy. Now, I am not saying they would need five games rest, but rather a game or two here and there. I think that if it wasn’t overpowered it could be cool. The less energy they have, some attributes dip slightly. Would make the durability factor in the game actually mean something.

The only thing that I could see make sense and be reasonable is energy effecting a position player's speed.
For example, if you have Ty Cobb on first base and attempt to steal with him four pitches in a row, but your batter foul's off all four, then realistically, he would be somewhat winded and his speed (as slight as it may be) would be slower than if he made it down there on the first try. Same idea if Ty Cobb is sprinting as fast as he can and beats out and gets an infield hit. He may be a bit winded if he attempted to steal on the very next pitch vs. a scenario where he walked on four pitches and attempted to steal on the very next pitch. Hoping that makes sense.
Aside from that, they don't really do anything to impact their energy level. Pitchers are obviously the only ones that exhaust energy every single pitch. That's why position players remain in the starting lineup throughout the year, so as long as they avoid injury and maintain performance level, but never because of energy or being 'tired.'
@jonblaze2424 said in Quitting in a RS game:
Prefacing this post making it known I have NO idea how the point system works when it comes to RS...all I know is if you win, you get points. If the lower ranked team wins, that team gets more. With that said, shouldn’t it be a thing where if your opponent quits a RS game you get some sort of additional bonus points on top of your win? Disconnects, it happens. I get it. But there is nothing more infuriating than getting into a game only for your opponent to quit when you start ripping. I just played a dude who quit in the 8th cause i went back to back to make the score 10-5....what’s the point? We all know comebacks are easily possible. Maybe it’s already a thing, if so my point is moot.

Although comebacks are possible, and do happen, I wouldn't say that they're easily possible.
Aside from that, I have a feeling that once you made the score 10-5, you both knew the game was over.

I just want a realible connection where pitches don't teleport the freaking gameplay is the last thing I care about fixing personally. I'm not going to complain oh wait I am it's probably my net tho but contract finishes in March just in time for the announced delay of of Mlb 21. This and the fact I legit need to heat my broken PS4 controller up on the radiator because I put Vaseline in it (Which Worked) but now in winter it's like moving a frk house with a toothpick. That and it now has the worst stick drift ever lol Ya can't hit any fb down low center because the stick full on wobbles like it's dancing it's azz off. Just talking sh while new game installs i feel sorry for you if you read any this.

No need to feel sorry for me for reading it, or anybody else.
However, I do somewhat feel sorry for you, and would suggest telling your story on a "Go Fund Me" page, to try and raise enough money for a new controller. No guarantees it'll work, but you never know. At least it's a reasonable suggestion to possibly provide a solution to your problem.
Whether you have a winning record, a .500 record or below .500 record, I think we can all relate to OP's frustration, just some more than others, I suppose.
I think we can all agree that MLB20 gameplay has been rather disappointing, and arguably one of the worst in its franchise. You would think that the gameplay would be much improved as the years go on, and progress, not regress.
Yeah, I disagree on high and inside sinkers and fastballs being cheese. To me cheese is hitters getting rewarded with bleeders and blooper hits on an excessive level from poor timing/contact.

I did it for one batter to show you how annoying you were doing it to me, while you chose to do it the entire game. Second of all, the score was 2-0 because you hit a bloop single in the 4th inning, not a homerun. Any more lies you want to throw in? LOL Lastly, all these 'tricks' in the book you talk about in DD, people can do as well in Online Rated, so does that really mean that it's a 'trick?' Probably the most funny thing about your post is that my question was directed to @SurfinSantaCruz, the person who I was initially responding to, but thanks for chiming in with your lies. LOL You did it first and I did it back to you. No big deal. We both stopped and played the game. Yes the game was 2-0 because you deleted my home run which would of made it 3-0. You couldn't handle losing. And yes, this can happen in online rated too but not as frequently as DD. I don't care who your comment was directed at, you act like everyone plays straight up and doesn't cheese. Far from the truth. And I remember you defending rage quitters in another thread. makes sense. LOL I act like everyone plays straight up and doesn't cheese? I don't care about cheesers or dashboarders. Matter of fact, I have a CAP I named 'Cheesy Sub.' Sooo.... The thing I find most humorous, is you sounding so resentful about a game that you won. LOL. Sorry you're having a bad day or whatever, you sound like a very bitter person. It was a game from weeks ago, get over it. People tend not to do these exploits in online rated because they are there to play baseball, not to get to the next level in DD Ranked, or Event, or win # in a row in BR to get some diamond cards. Out of all the games in the last 3/4 years I've played in online rated, I think I had maybe one game where a guy played where he used exploits. I think people who play online rated go into it like i described - to play baseball, not roller rink derby. You don't get any increase in ranking points like you do in RS, so for me, it's like 'what's the point?' This. This explains everything. You play the game for "points". Well, a lot of people play because they want a good baseball experience. They want the game to resemble a real mlb game. Not some cheese fest.

I did it for one batter to show you how annoying you were doing it to me, while you chose to do it the entire game. Second of all, the score was 2-0 because you hit a bloop single in the 4th inning, not a homerun. Any more lies you want to throw in? LOL Lastly, all these 'tricks' in the book you talk about in DD, people can do as well in Online Rated, so does that really mean that it's a 'trick?' Probably the most funny thing about your post is that my question was directed to @SurfinSantaCruz, the person who I was initially responding to, but thanks for chiming in with your lies. LOL You did it first and I did it back to you. No big deal. We both stopped and played the game. Yes the game was 2-0 because you deleted my home run which would of made it 3-0. You couldn't handle losing. And yes, this can happen in online rated too but not as frequently as DD. I don't care who your comment was directed at, you act like everyone plays straight up and doesn't cheese. Far from the truth. And I remember you defending rage quitters in another thread. makes sense.

LOL I act like everyone plays straight up and doesn't cheese? I don't care about cheesers or dashboarders. Matter of fact, I have a CAP I named 'Cheesy Sub.' Sooo....
The thing I find most humorous, is you sounding so resentful about a game that you won. LOL. Sorry you're having a bad day or whatever, you sound like a very bitter person. It was a game from weeks ago, get over it.
People tend not to do these exploits in online rated because they are there to play baseball, not to get to the next level in DD Ranked, or Event, or win # in a row in BR to get some diamond cards.
Out of all the games in the last 3/4 years I've played in online rated, I think I had maybe one game where a guy played where he used exploits.
I think people who play online rated go into it like i described - to play baseball, not roller rink derby.
You don't get any increase in ranking points like you do in RS, so for me, it's like 'what's the point?'
This. This explains everything. You play the game for "points". Well, a lot of people play because they want a good baseball experience. They want the game to resemble a real mlb game. Not some cheese fest.
Make some sense when you speak at least.
I play plenty of RS games that isn't a "cheese" fest. Stop being a hypocrite when you're a player who bunt dances the whole game. More importantly, quit whining.

Sorry you're having a bad day or whatever, you sound like a very bitter person. It was a game from weeks ago, get over it. If you care at all about online h2h gaming modes in this franchise, then you should very much care about cheesers and dashboarders, as they are spoiling an already problematic gaming experience.....considering this is the only relevant baseball game. For me, it is because my love for baseball and enjoyment of this game that I am very much against those little whiny boys who dashboard out and cheese it up, just because they are poor sports. Over the years of playing this franchise, I have beaten players, who no doubt, were better than me and I have lost to those who I thought were maybe not as good as me, yet, I have never dashboarded out.

I understand that people don't like dashboarding because of possible lost prestige stats, and on the other hand, it's like why are you complaining when you get an automatic Win and increase ranked points in lieu of that....so it's all just a matter of opinion and which side you fall on. I've been dashboarded more than enough times, and don't care.
The reason why I don't care is because I can't control what other people do and at least I'm not a hypocrite about it. I'll just leave it at that as this topic has been discussed many times over already in previous posts.

LOL So what exploit or trick in the book are you talking about? you seem not to understand what i mean by 'playing baseball'. i cannot explain it any more than I have. LOL ok, you haven't explained anything. Only thing I can think of, without you explaining is based on a safe assumption. Something like, playing someone who flails at offspeed pitches, and continues to swing and miss even when they know it's coming. So in a sense, I suppose you're exploiting their weakness by continuously throwing off speed pitches and maybe mixing in a fastball here and there to keep their timing off. But that happens in Online Rated too, as I experienced in my only game in Online Rated. But isn't that why scouting reports are used at times? For example, pitchers try to exploit hitters weaknesses, and vice versa, a pitcher who just spams using fastball, so a hitter exploiting a pitcher's tendencies if applicable? Isn't that part of baseball? LOL Look - you've been called out already by the community for exploiting the game and even admitted to it in the earlier posts. fine - if you like to play ring around the rosie and musical chairs i don't care. a lot of ppl play like that. some people like chocolate ice cream while other people like vanilla ice cream. to each their own. I like to play baseball. an opponent that thinks like a baseball manager. someone who's thinking 3,4,5 innings ahead and strategizing. that's the type of player I like to play against. And in my experience I find that type of player is 99% more available to play in online rated than dd online. that's all im saying. this isn't a thesis we're debating here.
