they could’ve released these Fs cards first and better versions of the fotf now it would’ve made more sense. No reason why we should have players with no mlb experience comparable to the best cards in this game.
Appreciate the response this is all a lot of us are asking for open communication and insight.
Co-vid or not there exists too many apps and services to communicate nowadays and not a peep from SDS. I would love to know the excuse bc right now everyone has nothing but free time. Also they stated at the beginning of the year that communication would be improved this year. At the very least they have to answer these questions are we close to a fix in this years game? Will there be no more major patches and we have to wait until 21? Why did you decide to give the majority of pitchers a sinker this year?

@castigRI said in Online is just a horrible experience: You could... not swing at pitches that aren't in the strike zone. I don’t plan on playing hour and half games watching myself be walked over and over and then when I don’t swing it’s 102 mph

there alot wrong with the game right now players not throwing strikes is not one of them. Learn to be patient not even the cpu throws only strikes.
The guy has 0 power and to top it off my opponent was early on it. I know it’s a broken record at this point crying about the game but f***k does that boil my blood. The kicker is of course i had some balls die at the track bc BaSeBaLl. I know nothing will come of this just had to vent this out.
it should be a 5 man rotation that gets locked for 5 games. after 5 you can change your rotation again the way its done now its as if we are playing game 7 of the WS every game
if you want arcade baseball go play slugfest or mario baseball. MLB the show has always been a sim style game having batting averages of .400+ up and down the lineup along with 5+ era's is not actual baseball. Yes mistake pitches should be crushed, yes hitting should be fun & rewarding but the same way you find 6-5 games boring I along with alot of ppl find consist 15-13 games boring because it's not baseball the sport the game is trying to simulate.
loved the stat grind of 18??? you are a special kind of crazy sir, kidding aside a mix of 17 & 19 would be cool but nothing from 18 should ever be added to any game
@D_e_m_I_s_E said in Am I the only one who can’t pitch after the patch?:
No. Made a ton of posts about it. That patch really did something bad to pitching for some of us. I can't play RS at all and turn off the game early all the time. Every pitch is down the middle or outside the zone. Tried different inputs, connections and even a different controller. 18 was horrible mainly due to souvenirs and exchanges. At far as game play, 20 is the worst one for me by far. I basically throw HR derby every game.

I have never seen someone be so miserable and complain day in & day out. You have said the same thing for 3 years just play a different game.
It’s the weird timing window in this years game. I’ve been a WS player every season since 16 but this year I feel like a noob again. Even in 16 where pitch speeds were fast or 19 on legend the speeds were fast but the timing was consistent so you could adjust. This year it feels like speeds aren’t as fast as 16 but the timing window is shorter.
I tr4ied to do this in the beginning of the year but since everyone was grinding DD it never really took off. Is there anyone interested in playing in a themed season league? Each season would run for 2-3 weeks and then move on to another theme this late into the cycle I imagine many have a good amount of cards so we can have fun themes going on. It would be on hof 9 innings lmk if interested.
Just lost bc of base running in RS i had Sheffield on 1st and Giambi hit a moonshot but bc my opponent picked Fenway it was on of those where your not sure if it’s leaving or not cano proceeds to advance to 2nd and stays half way between 2nd and 3rd all while I’m clicking like a maniac to go back to 2nd. Opponent proceeds to cut him off at 2nd and ballgame

@AlphaDag13 said in Will low fastballs ever play online?:
@Dino-might_not said in Will low fastballs ever play online?: I have to disagree, low fastballs are absolutely lethal when used correctly. If you use them sparingly, and ESPECIALLY if the pitcher has outlier, you can freeze even the best hitters in the game. I throw maybe 2-3 a game and it’s a hit every time it’s swung on.

You just aren’t using it properly can’t think in terms of real life pitch sequence bc the majority that play the game know it as well for example if you throw me a high fastball on a 0-2 count i automatically know a curve is coming bc that’s what would happen irl the key is to get out of that mind set and really mix up the sequences i love to freeze my opponent with a low & away fb when i have been pounding low sliders and they start laying off of them. They’ll either be late from seeing off speed pitches in that area or they’ll take thinking it’s yet another slider.
This games biggest problem is the inconsistency with everything. I got the itch to push for WS this season after barely playing. Started at 500 5 games in everything was ok then I play a guy who is only 52-49 and from the 1st batter until the last i was just getting shafted I would only score after my opponent would score. I proceed to lose 5-4 it was so clear that i was being held that my opponent messaged me after the game and said he felt bad. That’s not fun i remember back in 15 & 16 I was just starting to play online and even after losing i would be motivated to keep playing to get better but now it feels like a [censored] shoot even without the glitches that would drive us crazy back then.
It’s The tail end of this game why not halve the prestige requirements? There’s no way I’m getting 105 hits with Hanley or 70 with lemahieu I understand it’s supposed to be a grind but again it’s December and none of these cards carry over to the next game might as well just have fun with it for the rest of the year.

"With Parsec, you can play any local mode of the game online with your friends. Just the host needs FIFA 20 for PC, and all of your other friends can jump in through a link and start playing. We just released a feature called Arcade that makes it super easy to get a game started and invite friends."
thats from EA themselves so yes you can play online but only with friends and they need to have the PC version as well. Again no sports games can play on a pc and have crossplay. It would be way to easy for PC players.
@Thierry007007 said in Why do very early swings keep biting me in the rear lately?:
I hit 3 perfect perfect fly balls for fly outs. I hit an early fly ball is a homerun. This game hitting engine is a [censored] mess.
I had some perfect/perfect outs as well today it feels like a crapshoot again which just sucks. It stings even more when you give up these crappy hits and don’t get me wrong it goes both ways but my opponents have been blessed much more than me this month. For most of the year the game was playable but this just feels like 18 again.
I made a themed yankee squad to try abs make WS this month yet i can’t get out of all star bc i keep getting bit in the [censored] by very early swings resulting in hits even had a couple go for HRs today. What’s the deal with this anyone else just giving up crappy hits left and right lately?
