I’ll accept a 98 for speed if every time he steals a bag, he lifts it over his head and refuses to give it back.

I think it’s just a Baby Ruth.

To be fair, since 17 the final patch usually comes in late may-early June. I could see some very minor things being tweaked, which will make a very little footprint on how the gameplay actually plays. Next patch is going to seal 20 for the rest of its cycle.

That’s a little disconcerting. The pessimist in me fears the next patch will deal more with too much xp being rewarded in some game mode rather than anything to do with hitting or pitching.

That's about what I expect to. We will get a line that says "improved pitcher acuraccy" and notice no change to boot. Beyond that, I don't think we see anything.

Maybe we’ll get more terms to label why our contact is bad: rolled over, out in front, cracked bat, closed eyes, limp wrists, dropped shoulder. The possibilities for this patch are endless.

My hope is that this strategy starts to backfire. This is the only game I really want to play, but I absolutely hate it. It makes me miserable. I would consider myself an average to below average player. I would be much more likely to spend money on a game that gave me consistent and repeatable feedback on my input, rather than most of my outcomes just chalked up to chance. I feel as if there’s no point to having better cards. I would like Mantle, and I would be tempted to spend a little of my actual money to acquire him if I thought that for one second, he would make that much of an impact on the game. This game feels so off right now, and hopefully enough of the marginal players will start giving up on it like I am tempted to do. Then maybe they will reconsider the type of game they want to put out.

@halfbutt said in 109 mph exit velocity:

How does a well hit ball with 109 mph exit velocity become a routine fly ball? Anyone have an explanation for this? Launch angle was good. So the ball just hit a huge amount of resistance? The air was really humid that day? Windy?

At this point, nothing surprises me. If the giant gorilla from the Ready Player One movie started randomly showing up in the outfield to swat would be homeruns out of the sky, I probably wouldn’t bat an eye. There’s plenty of lag today for anybody who’s interested. Get it while it’s hot.

Me playing a ranked seasons game: I’m so frustrated, I want to die. I’m never playing again.

Me five minutes after turning off my PlayStation: That wasn’t so bad; I think I’ll hop into another game.

Hey everybody,

I am attempting to flip some cards to make some money. I need everybody else to stop doing this. You are free to buy cards, but I need you to stop selling them. Thanks. Also, if we happen to play online, don’t throw me fast balls. I can’t hit them. I also can’t hit sinkers, or splitters or sliders or any type of curve. Or forkballs. Don’t throw those either. To be on the safe side, don’t throw me anything. Just stand there.

Pulse option might be good for you.

Do pitches go where you direct them using pulse? If so, I’ll definitely try it out. Using analogue, I’ll get a good release and position my ball in the red circle on the way back up and it will go broken arrow on me. Do you use pulse?

I use pulse because I’m a lazy [censored], and it works good enough.

Lazy and Good Enough are words that have shaped much of my life thus far.

I think it’s just a Baby Ruth.

@Freeze_Time_ said in So fun playing a game I know in the 1st inning if I am going to win or not.:

Stop playing online! Good Lord why is this so difficult for people to understand here? Playing online is not as good as offline play. Just accept it if you are going to play online. Whining about it won't do anything since it's been like this ever since the game freaking went online.

You’re not wrong. For me though, I don’t really have much interest in playing offline. I do the moments and conquests to unlock cards to use them online. This is only the second year I’ve played the game, but it’s excruciating. The online play is so inconsistent that, win or lose, I just feel bad after playing. I can’t imagine how people have played this game year in and year out. I will say that last year didn’t have nearly the discrepancies with pitch speeds and timing windows. It’s really the only game I want to play, but unless they do something to make online play more consistent, I think (hope) I’m done after this year.

It’s not necessarily my favorite, but I happened to watchThe Rookie today, and from the first time where he discovered how hard he could throw till he handed the game ball to his dad at the end, I pretty much wept openly. I’ve grown quiet nostalgic in my old age.

Now I know that if you are at the all star level and you play someone in Hof that you are supposed to be at the all star level difficulty. However, I just played someone in the 700’s while I was in 600’s, and it was one of those games where pitch speeds were so fast, I didn’t even have time to move my pci and had to pretty much swing as the ball was being released. Is there any way that I actually played the game on HoF, or were the pitch speeds so fast for a myriad of other reasons? Also, the same criteria occurred in a previous game and the pitch speeds were like that too.

@SchnauzerFace said in I’m kind of a big deal now:

Hey everyone

Just wanted to say that I don’t know how much I can post here anymore. As of this morning, I have officially reached Prestige Level, and I assume my life is about to change in a big way. I’ve hired a personal assistant and an agent to help schedule my public appearances and autograph signings, and I seriously doubt that interacting with commoners like all of you will be possible from this day forward.

I know you’ll all be tempted to worship me or treat me as some sort of folk hero or deity or perhaps even the second coming of Jesus Christ himself. Totally understandable. But that’s the last thing I want. I’m a regular guy — just like all of you. Except now I’m much better than all of you. But I won’t let it go to my head. I’m way too good for that.

If you want to offer a tribute, please send pictures of available women who are both attracted to and capable of handling my level of celebrity. I prefer Latinas and redheads, but I’m open-minded enough to consider any 9.5+.

It’s been good to know you, but I am certain it’s been even better to know me.

Sincerely,
His Most Reverend Excellency Dr. Schnauzer Q. Face III, Esq.

Congratulations! As a Juilliard trainer Dermatologist myself, I can tell you there is no greater accomplishment a man can achieve than the Diamond Dynasty Prestige level. We are amongst the societal elite, my friend. Those Skull and Crossbone sissies have nothing on us. And just think at something like 400,000 per prestige level, you’ll be at prestige level 5 in quadruple the time. But it’s all the Ortolan bunting you can eat, so, you know, that’s pretty cool.

No hits in 4 event games, is there a secret with him?! Seemed to hit well in showdown, now it’s dry powder.

I wouldn’t worry. It’s not unmusial to go a few games without getting a hit.

I didn't want to laugh at this, I really didn't but I couldnt help it

Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.

@cavalier_0013 said in Just won on a walk-off and I’m still sad:

Yeah, I have a hard times understanding where the PCI is placed in relation to where it was when I pressed the swing button.

I’ve questioned this as well in the past week. It feels like I’m having good PCI placement but the feedback shows different. Makes me wonder if there’s a lag at the end of the pitch.

Yeah, I think that’s what it is. And that’s what makes it so frustrating. This game requires such precision with pci and timing windows and yet something beyond your control has an enormous impact on your performance.

@ItsFroggyBaby said in These servers suck:

I’ve come to a conclusion.. I have this issue a lot, but only when it seems the player isn’t in the states. I.E. Puerto Rico or DR what have you. And some how on their end they cause a disconnection and you er put out the game... there’s no way I should be disconnected 40+ times when I have 800mb/s internet and a 13< ms ping.

How do you check ping?

@AGENTSxOFxCHAOS said in These servers suck:

Servers are overloaded because of the new Ranked Season start.

Can't wait till they [censored] out next year on MULTIPLE platforms.

Do you think they’ll switch to dedicated servers instead of p2p?

So I just won on a walk off grand slam and that did nothing to assuage the frustration I felt playing the game. It was brutal. I was late on everything. I swear to you I would watch my pci go to where the ball was but the feedback showed the pci being well short of where I placed it. All my contact was weak-yada yada yada. Anywho, fast forward to my bottom of the 9th. My opponent had one run on five hits and I had one run on two hits. I had three straight lefties coming up so he puts in Billy Wagner. I load the bases on three so so hits and then finish it off with a so so homer by chipper. I don’t know. I know these posts are pointless, but games like this are so discouraging and afterwards I feel disappointed and maybe a little dirty. I’m going to go shower and hop back in to another game, which I’m positive will be a much more smooth and rewarding experience.
