@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.

Ever notice that almost no one complains about their opponent not being able to hit well? When it is your opponent hitting poorly it is that their skill isn't very good. But when you do not hit well it is the system that is broken. Ever notice that almost no one complains when they are thrown pitches down the middle? Has anyone ever posted, "I am getting way too many pitches right down the middle"? Again when you get pitches down the middle it is that your opponent isn't very skilled, but when you throw pitches down the middle it is the pitching system sucks!. And mostly, almost no one takes into account their players abilities. Guess what? Some of your players are going to do better than others no matter how good you are. Mike Trout is going to hit better than a random common player. Crazy, huh?

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

@jcassaro44 said in 99 Fergie Jenkins:

I think a lot of legends took a hit this year because they double downed of prospects and future stars... I don't see SDS doing this again, probably only Future Stars going forward... 10-15 legends still need high diamonds as well as Miggy, Verlander and other flashbacks that need high diamonds.

Either Miggy or Verlander will be the player program on friday. No other players make sense for a signature flashback

I think you would be surprised what makes sense to SDS.

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.

I DISPISE MOMENTS! I think it has been the shear volume of them this year. EVERYTHING seems to involve moments. I even now hate the easy ones..

Just got him today! Yay! First game vs CPU on All Star he went 3 for 3 in a 3 inning game with 2 HR and a single. He does seem as you all told me!

@UkraineSankOurs said in SDS should release a 99 Amy Coney Barrett Topps Now:

I know what you’re thinking, she isn’t a baseball player, however I think it would be cool if SDS allowed us to use famous people in diamond dynasty who aren’t baseball players.

For example in Madden Superstar KO you can play as guys like Giannis, Snoop Dogg, and Sam Darnold who aren’t even real football players.

While y’all are wishing for your Finest Bellinger and SS Bonds, I just want a Topps Now Amy Coney Barrett, it would also be a great step for equality to include a woman in a baseball game.

So I can bean her? Sounds fun.

Overalls are based on something? You could have fooled me.

When you give Future Stars 99 cards, I think Hall of Famers should probably have them too.

I play most things on my computer. But the next gen consoles are as close to a gaming computer as they ever have been. That wont last, but for now its really great.

I want it NOW. I want to play it on my PS5 now! LOL

People who want player input to be the only thing that matters do not even need cards with stats. Just find a game, or ask for a mode, where all the players are exactly the same. I think many would like that. I personally want stats to matter even more than they do now. I want my best skilled pitchers to be my best pitchers, and my best skilled hitters to be my best hitters. I also want input to matter, but i am more a baseball stats guy.

Great News !!!! for everyone who is done with MLB The Show 20 you only have to wait 3-4 month and you can start up again with 21 (maybe ? I haven't heard anything about the cover or anything for 21 yet.)

Lol trust me 21 won't be on time. And I don't know how they'll fix anything. The game will always have some rng.

IT IS A VIDEO GAME

If you want real baseball, call up the boys and go meet at the park.

I can’t believe how many people cry and cry and cry cause this game isnt a perfect simulation of real baseball. I mean, How much closer can it get??

They really are only complaining because they lose sometimes. It can’t be their play so it’s rng. RNG is absolutely necessary to distinguish between MLB players. Guys with better numbers will do better regardless of how good you personally are. And I like that.

no problems hitting with ps5...seems the same to me

@garj1025 said in PS 5 ISSUES! Chapter @:

@blakev03 said in USA Map conquest question:

So I decided out of boredom to go back and play the USA map cause it was the only one i havent beat yet, but i noticed that once i capture the one and only stronghold a team had, the remaining territories were still able to reinforce. It would even still show up in the steal fans section as 3 total fans / 2 available to steal. None of the other maps have had this. Anyone else notice this? It made it a bit more of a pain to really get the fan count up cause they kept blocking my path basically lol.

I have done that map dozens of times.

after you knocked out the strongholds, were they still able to reinforce for you as well and still show up as stealable fans?

Never

im batting .197 with my childhood IDOL Big Hurt. Thats with like 250 ABs so its safe to say i just cant hit with the man.

I started slow with him, but eventually moved him to my bench since I slashed a .470 in the event.

That gives me hope. I keep plugging away. At this point I find myself apologizing to him when he comes up to bat. Like I’m ashamed to use his card lol

I love that. I do the same when I strike out with someone I like and should be good with.
