Stop leading off and I'll stop stepping off. The game already gives you one step by default.

Hahah I knew this would be first comment "stop leading off and I won't throw" literally knew this comment was coming. How about you throw 2 or 3 times and if you dont get me then the game goes on. In MLB I dont think it's even allowed for a pitcher to throw 30 straight times to first base cause the player took a 1 step leadoff extra. If you cant throw me out on the first 20 attempts then fuhk off and play the game.

It's players like you that make online games unbearable. You guys that sit there with their 99 speed CAP on 1st base and just think I'm going to be fine with you taking an extra step especially with that speed. I can step off 30 times or throw over 30 but you still feel obligated to take another step. What does that say about you?

I was actually "threatened" with being reported earlier because of this exact situation. Lol Pathetic.

That's baseball bud...get use to it...SDS is making these games more sim like......time to move on to RBI Baseball bud, leave sim baseball to us Real Men!

Dude, what the hell is your problem? Why do you constantly come on here to spew nonsense non-stop? My gawd man, get a life, please.

Do what a real major league pitcher would do and do a pitch out and gun him out.

It's already hard enough to throw strikes on the corners, now you want me to waste a pitch hoping that that was the time you decided to steal? Gtfoh!

The real question is, why do you feel obligated to take the extra step with a fast guy? If he was big and slow you wouldn't take it would you? So why does speed lead you to an extra lead?

I can throw over 100 times and never get you out. So the game is already in the runner's favor. So just sit there and take the extra bag with your speed if you do hit it in the gap.

What SDS needs to do is take away the extra lead all together.

They have different sliders for different modes and offline vs online. [censored] makes no sense. I can do batting practice on legend against Nolan Ryan and be ok but I go play an RS game in pennant race difficulty and I can't even touch a fast ball.

Forget about the game play, I got tired of simming territories where I had an 18-3 advantage and end up winning with only a handful of fans left. Happened about 80% of the time no matter how big the advantage was.

They never have and they never will admit this because then they would be stuck trying to explain the unexplainable.

@dart_wuffy said in Fixed absolutely nothing:

I think you're just another of the many who think everything is going to be magically 100% good on release and will constantly belly ache until either you stop playing or people use the ignore function on you

Ummm hitting was magically 100% good on release, then sds ruined it.

@WiryHooligan22 said in The hitting reward is nonexistent:

Weird. Everytime I get good timing and squared up contact, a little person in a tuxedo shows up at my house with a bag of tootsie pops and a balloon that says "REWARD."

Weird. Everytime I read another one of your useless posts, I throw up a little.

I knew my last game was doomed from the start. First pitch I throw a sinker low in the strike zone only for it to hang and get smacked for a hit and then the ball proceeds to get bobbled by trout in center field allowing dude to get to second. Awesome start! I knew it was over at that moment. Didn't get my first hit til the 8th. Never mind the multiple walks I took. They immediately uned up in double play after double play, regardless of pci placement relative to the ball. But I digress.

The rewards are trash for the frustration you have to endure. Facing Kluber over and over is asinine. I just got 1 hit by him where everything I put the pci on was either a double play, a warning track sally, or just a floater that my grandma could get to. Meanwhile my opponent dinks and bloops every hit under the sun no matter who I have on the mound.

I'm stuck in AS hell. I can't even sniff CS. But even by some miracle I get there, is it really worth the 1200 in stubs I'd get from the gold player reward?

Grinding showdowns is getting old real quick. I have no problem destroying pitchers in Event games but once I get in RS my superstar team takes the month off. Ugh!

Going up against someone in the event who had half silver and half bronze batters. I have Flaherty on the hill. 2nd batter of the top of the first for him is 72 OVR Carter Kieboom with 54 con and 50 pow, launches a no-doubter HR on good location. He then pauses and quits.

It wasn't until after I noticed he had the goat icon with a 12-0 banner.
Lol what the heck just happened?

Thanks for the win?!?!

@foge011 said in If it wasn't for the auto-shift:

So you want your opponent to pause 30+ times a game to set his defense? I'll kindly not have that every game.

This also

@raesONE said in If it wasn't for the auto-shift:

I would be batting .450 or higher. That's not even an exaggeration. I absolutely hate the fact that the auto-shift is turned on by default. Using a shift, or not, is a strategic decision and should be user controlled at all times.

If you lack the presence of mind to put on a shift in a specific situation, or if you're simply too lazy to do the defensive adjustments, I feel like you should be burned by those balls through the infield holes every single time. But now, the game bails you out by putting an auto-shift on basically 80% of the players in the game, making those well hit pulled balls into the shift ot lasers up the middle automatic outs. Those are great at bats with great swings being outs while my opponent did absolutely nothing for it. Another fine example of lowering the skill gap.

This just solidifies my position to all those trolls who simply say "turn off auto shift" if you want to avoid lefties with single-digit speed cheesing the bunt. If I do that then every good hit from there on out will make it through the gap where the shift would have been.

This card was a bloop master for me during moments. Definitely made things easier.

Many dont see very peaceful through the media. Im proud of those doing it peacefully as its ur right but looting and rioting is not a right.

2 different groups with 2 different agendas

@TrevorBob31 said in The showdown sliders need to go back to neutral:

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.

Being easy has absolutely nothing to do with it when anything you get ahold of flutters to the outfield or when you get a man on 1st you know a double play is coming no matter how high in the zone you make contact.

I forget which h2h mode this happens in but when I'm frustrated and don't wana waste my bullpen I try to purposely back out and pitch with my pinch hitter, it refuses to back out. I have no choice but to pick a bullpen arm.
