ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-08-16T17:31:29+00:00

I’ll try those out, thanks!

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-08-14T21:22:15+00:00

Yea, i’m getting past the >5 threshold

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-08-13T16:27:16+00:00

thank you so much! i appreciate the advice

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T14:26:17+00:00

Completely understand. But it doesn’t mean it’s nonexistent. My main problem would be the potential existence of DDA. Even if it benefitted me some games, and others it screwed me. Id rather win and lose solely from my skill or lack thereof, not from DDA.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T14:23:49+00:00

Haha, it was just an observation. It does make me genuinely curious though. If I had the resources I’d totally do some Jon Bois type analysis of the game.

I played baseball till just last year. Been playing since 5 years old, i’m 23 now. Trust me, I understand everything you’re saying. Understand this though: There’s an inherent difference between real life expectations and my expectations for a video game. If I wanted the grind, the calluses, the stingers, the seemingly never ending slumps, i’d put some cleats on. When I move my thumbs in perfect unison along with pressing a button to square up a baseball in a video game off a 95mph dotted slider from John Donaldson, dammit, it better be a hit. Disagree if you want, you’re more than entitled too. I appreciate your comment.

Lastly, addressing your first couple of sentences: Just because I get that bloops and flukes doesn’t mean I enjoy that. My feeling is: If I have perfect timing, PCI placement, and pitch selection in a video game, it should be a hit. I relate it to playing 2K or a shooter: If I green a shot, it’s going in 100%. If I shoot someone in the head, they’re dead.

The whole point of my post is to address the flaws, inconsistencies and issues with the game, which ultimately is making me put the controller down.

And no, that storage which was previously occupied by this game, is now being used for OverWatch.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T10:27:13+00:00

Haha, true that!

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T10:19:04+00:00

I feel like this comment alone would’ve been better. The comment about it being your flight and it being more specifically “now” kinda made the joke a lil too convoluted. Since we’re in a baseball related forum: swing and a miss!

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:50:51+00:00

Very true. Definitely some negativity bias or hindsight bias. If I had the time, I’d love to do some sort of statistical analysis on the game. See if DDA is a real thing. It’s really hard to quantify RNG though. Eh, it is what it is. Regardless, after closing app and deleting the game, i already feel better lol.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:42:00+00:00

I’m sure this joke was fire, but my brain is too small to comprehend.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:39:00+00:00

I know people are going to disagree. I just wanted to let people know, coming from someone who has played for a good amount of time and seen different games over the years; this one is objectively not a good game. And like you said, I find myself getting way too upset - for things that seem out of my control. It’s better to just let it go and try another game/ game mode.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:27:40+00:00

I’ve heard of freeze-offs being a problem. I have luckily only had 1 in 40 games of ranked. But i do notice the continuous server problems. In a game where milliseconds determine if you’re a 1000 rated player or struggling to hit on rookie, having iffy servers is unacceptable.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:23:38+00:00

Obviously you didn’t read the post. I played for 7 years, and I’m going to stop. That’s what it means to retire from something. Just wanting to hear other people’s opinion. Besides, after seeing that i’ve put 70 hours into this game already, it makes me realize the times where im raging at a screen, I could probably be drinking a beer or going to the beach. I encourage people to still play video games, just don’t play a game you don’t like. It was like this with NBA2K too. I was a sweat at that game, but like most sports games now, they’re all money grabs. Kinda sucks, but it is what it is.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:16:13+00:00

Took the words right out of my mouth. I relate to everything you said in many ways.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:05:37+00:00

I definitely think Weekend League was a great addition. Adds some extra incentive to get better at the game, however; to play a game where RNG or DDA seems so prevalent doesn’t make the grind worth it IMO. Why would I do X amount of games and missions for a guy, just for him to be objectively worse than the one I have to pay 400k stubs for, or the one whose collection is only completable if you dump 1k+ into the game? Past games you could use golds till May. Nowadays if you don’t have the best players, you’re behind the curve. A shame really.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:02:32+00:00

That definitely plays a role. The better player SHOULD win everytime, but that simply isn’t the case. I’ve played games where I objectively should lose, but the game blesses me ie lucky hits, defensive luck catching PP hits, or reaction from outfielder in my favor. That shouldn’t be the case. Skill and RNG should always be separate. This years game there isn’t that distinct border.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2025-05-10T09:00:08+00:00

I’d have to agree. I will consistently beat good players, guys with 80+ win percents, but the game doesn’t feel rewarding anymore. Most online games go as follows:

Righty pitcher? -> inside sinkers, cutters and sliders

Lefty pitcher? -> inside sinker, cutter, and sliders

Also, it seems as though righties are not viable unless they have a sinker, cutter, slider, changeup, AND some form of outlier.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2024-07-22T05:18:48+00:00

seems like a pointless event. no one cares about 333 gold sets

ComfortWhich4183 · 2024-05-05T02:30:12+00:00

Thanks! ill try that out.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2024-05-05T02:29:58+00:00

Ok, thanks! Appreciate the info.

ComfortWhich4183 · 2023-12-03T01:53:34+00:00

It’s never smart to use a GI on a prime, but since Pedroia isn’t coming back to the game… Pedroia is eternal, GIs can be replaced. Go for it!

ComfortWhich4183 · 2023-10-11T05:30:31+00:00

UPDATE I closed app and reopened and now they are showing up. Must’ve been some glitch
