@joshjays44 said in I went back to 19:

The hitting is better in 20, more in tuned with user skill...you prolly like 19 because its for beginners prolly...I guess we all had to start from somewhere. Keep practicing and maybe when you're gonna enough you'll graduate to 20.

That was rude and condescending for absolutely no reason.

Since SDS did not change hitting this patch, they must really find this amusing.

That's one of the biggest problem with Moments, we do not get to use our DD teams much.

I only caught a tiny part of the stream, but I did see them talking about the prestige diamonds and how they were using them to respond to the requests for the return of some of the stat grinds. Except that in my experience, 95+% of the people asking for stat grinds were offline players looking for more to do than just play Conquest over and over.

As someone looking for better things to do with my DD collection without having to play H2H, was there anything new in this stream?

Showdown is entirely offline and made to be a BR type experience for offline players

Showdown does not use your DD cards, which is what offline players want, a way to use your collection offline. Offline players really have no reason to collect cards at all.

@raesONE said in This was a hidden patch:

I'm skeptical, but maybe just because the sample size is so small still

My first 3 opponents quit. And the ball off the bat is way smoother and better

The pci also looks smaller on allstar.

Exit cells are higher. Game is better trust me.

If 3 opponents quit, then hitting apparently was not improved for them.

@XxLordKingAcexX said in Thank you SDS:

Ok Ramone

Dude ask anyone I am the number one critic of this game.

And you will be again in 24 hours, or when the alcohol wears off.

The better players complained and demanded more skill separation so that they could win more often. That lead to more difficult hitting and home run or nothing play. Enjoy.

@joshjays44 said in 1.09 Patch Discussion:

See guys?, the ones complaining and making silly posts about fielding will never get fixed?.....use this post to apologize

Apologize for them not having it right at launch? They need to apologize. We are the customer.

I would take 19 again over this garbage. Huge money grab for SDS with very little effort to make the game better for the players.

@TeflonDon_237 said in The least enjoyable show:

Idk yet if this is the worst show ive played. 18 was really bad but so far this is least enjoyment ive had playing this game

Totally agree. Showdowns suck, forced to play online sucks, hitting online and offline sucks, First Inning sucks in general, no Inning points for completing some but not all of players Moments sucks, no exchanging collected cards sucks, etc etc. Apparently there is no Phase 2 since we are down to less than two weeks to go for Inning 1. I just got ripped off doing the 1st Inning Showdown AGAIN when the moment wanted a home run which I hit but the game did not count an inside the park home run apparently (NO ERRORS OCCURED!). I think I will try Franchise and if that sucks just as bad I am done.

Drive by trucker is just amazing at the game so it doesn’t effect him. But I definitely agree. I had never lost a stage 2 showdown. But I’m only 50-50 on them now. Just lost a final showdown when I was only down 11-15. Didn’t get my first hit until 4 outs left. So many good-good and good-squared up outs.

I’m really nothing special at the game lmao.

Stage 2 showdowns are as easy as it gets.

No one can correctly say what is easy or difficult for other people. We get it. You find it easy. So what? You are not everyone.

Many, many people find them easy.

And technically, with Stage 2 being on Veteran, they are easy. It’s an easy difficulty.

Again you are wrong. Easy or difficult are perspectives which are based on many factors: skill level, time to play, enjoyment, and many others. Just because from my perspective you are a [censored], for example, doesn't make it Truth. See how it works? You do not get to decide Truth, only your perspective. Another example would be how I find the concept of perspective easy, but you find that difficult.

@Raider52Morrison said in Must have player that should be in all lineups (in my opinion):

POTM Mondesi is the GOAT. Hit better with him and hit bombs more than I do with Sheffield, Mantle etc.

Same for me. Roberts too, but less home runs from Roberts.

Not SDS, MLB owners... prove me wrong

Prove yourself right first with some kind of support?

Would rather not pay the players and let the season cancel itself. They're asking everyone to take at minimum a 25% pay cut after declining the proposal that players take 50%. Players like Mike Trout are only going to be getting 15%-20% of the salary they signed a contract for. Were talking about Mike Trout, the best player in baseball making 5m for ownership greed.

Both sides are greedy AF. If they can't come to an agreement then $#&% MLB. Reminds me of the players strike that ruined the league for years afterwards.

@onnagood1 said in Bret Saberhagen CY YOUNG Absolute Joke:

He's a 97 diamond, but I personally think he's no different than 83 gold version. The speed differential between his fastball and offspeed pitches is hardly noticeable. If your opponent is able to sit on pitches, you'll be dead in the water because that's all you really have to resort to because of an ineffective fastball.

You'll figure this out in the 1st inning, which I didn't make it past the 2nd because of a HR off me because of a forced pitch down the middle. I wasn't willing to deal with this scenario for 7 more innings, so unfortunately I decided to dashboard, sold him back to the market and moved on.

This was my opinion about him based on my experience. If you use him, hopefully your experience will be different.

Sounds more like you need to learn how to pitch.

I don't think I have ever been hit in the sac. I skip those. Sounds painful.

Leave the PCI alone. Do not move it at all or turn it off. Forces you to wait for pitches down the middle. Then do wait for pitches down the middle before two strikes. Be patient for those meatballs, but be ready for them. This also helps you to avoid the dreaded double plays. You know Felix is at the end so lefties are a must. Take your walks. If you are waiting for meatballs you will get plenty of walks.

Last year you could do the same. Just leave the pinch hitter in for the pitcher and he will pitch. It will warn you, but just back out of it.

@sumodeads600 said in Should I make a CAP?:

I’ve been playing the Show since the beginning. It’s pretty much the only game I play and I usually play it year round. That being said, this is my first year playing DD. I jumped right in and got obsessed with it. I did not make a CAP though like most have. I have Mantle and I’m in the Prestige path. Is it still worth it to make a CAP? Like will it help me with XP or stubs somehow?

Also, I see most people make position players. Typically SS or C. Is it harder to make pitchers? I feel like it would be good to make a nasty reliever since my offense is stacked and they are hard to find.

My CAP catcher is not only my best player, but perhaps the best catcher in the game skills wise. XP reward Posey comes closest. Even the new 98 Torre cannot compete with him. Plus he is a switch hitter.
