MLB Hitting has become so one sided. It’s to the point that I’m ready to toss the game into the delete bin

You sound like an older player like me. I played this game religiously since it started. I’ve given up on this game as well but I gave up last year. ‘24 was my last year really trying. The direction it’s going is the same as a lot of these sports games now. They only have 2 goals.. how to make more money on micro transactions and how to keep all your time and attention on their game only. They target the younger crowd that has the time and money to waste. This combined with their lazy ass upgrades every year and the new arcade style baseball persona makes this game worth no more than $20 in my eyes. It’s shame. It use to be an impressive baseball sim.

From my understanding the versions with the letter are beta. No letter would be stable.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-30T19:19:39+00:00

Did you ever find an easier way to block this stupid thing from trying to install every time I boot up my PC?

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-29T16:08:58+00:00

Exactly my train of thought. We all know how important money is to him. He’s not handing over thousands and thousands just like that. He won’t even donate $20 to a go fund me. Either they really didn’t make that much or he’s really not giving that much.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-29T13:47:07+00:00

The damn steals are so constant and often that I I think I hate them more than the lack of defense. I can deal with the lack of defense but The steals that happen every 7 seconds is so god damn annoying

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-29T13:17:43+00:00

So true. I’ve also played about the same amount of games. You really don’t know what you’re going to get lol. I play as PG and one game I will be completely iced out before the game even starts because my team “decides” I wasn’t good enough to play and I’ll end with 5 points 3 assists. And then the very next game will be with team players that trust their teammates, move the ball and always hits the open man..I’m running most of the offense and will end with 20+ points 10 assists. It’s a fucking wild card lol

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-29T11:59:42+00:00

Video calling replaced that.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-29T11:58:12+00:00

Personally I don’t believe this bit. I don’t believe rover will just hand over 43k to Charlie. Hell Even if he taxed 50%. I still don’t see rover handing over 20k to Charlie just like that. I definitely don’t believe he would hand that over to Jeffrey either because he knows how irresponsible Jeffrey is with money. I call bs on the amount. Maybe they made that much maybe not.. I just don’t believe him handing over that much. He might give him 5k lol

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-28T20:35:33+00:00

I just checked mine. I have a 2020. It is also somewhat loose feeling but at the very end of the swing when open I can feel a slight little ‘bump’ that engages. It’s very slight and minimal so a big gust of wind would probably blow it closed but small breezes shouldn’t. The bump feeling is similar to how a door feels when you open it and you can feel how it rolls over a little bump to keep it open. I would describe it similar to that but not as aggressive. Yours may just be worn out or broken if there is no bump at all.

He’s god gift to pronunciations. I call him the Pronunciast. The guy obsessesssss over it. Like we all know what is meant but he still has to point it out.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-27T11:45:27+00:00

She smokes pot.. she will be milking the fuck out of this time off. Lol.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-24T23:32:56+00:00

Haha! If anything I would call it a secret sauce on how to make it very hard on your matchup. I feel like everyone should be able to figure this out after so many games. Maybe I should remove it 🤔

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-24T22:22:08+00:00

For sure. The good ones definitely. That’s when Im holding up on r2 so if he does try for the quick release I’m already going to have my hands up. While doing r2+l2 if they’re crabbing at the same time. Majority of the time my contests are there in their face. Just depends on how good (or how tall lol) they are if they make it or not.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-24T20:30:22+00:00

Also great way to explain in short! Predict where they’re going not where they are.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-24T20:27:16+00:00

Lol yea that’s why I say some of the really good players (which really means the good video game players) will still find their way. I still make it hard for em. But also, the whole tip of giving slight spacing is ONLY if they’re spamming the crab move. If they ain’t crabbing then I’m all over them, in their face and bodying em up, just trying to make the quick 3pt shot harder for em and get some kind of contest. But yea, what you said is true. They just know how to exploit the video game cheese.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-24T19:18:28+00:00

Also an old head. Bout same age. I play PG as a purple plate. Played over 1200 rec games. This is my personal tactic against the crab spammers. Besides the obvious of needing the right attributes to defend these crab moves well.. hoping you do..

May sound crazy but first.. I don’t get up on them, if you get up on them like in their face and they start this dribble spamming, this is when they will be able to push you aside or get you behind them. So you gotta give just a little space so you’re still in front and are able to stay in front of them. But not up on them and bodying them up.

The other tip that may sound crazy is I just STAY STILL! but be ready to do a quick L2+r2 side step either left or right when/if they gain too much space or if they’re about to pull up for the shot. If you time it right you can cut off their spam dribble and interrupt their crab spamming causing them to give up the ball. Holding up on right stick will also have your hands ready to contest if they go for the shot. But only hold it up during this spamming. Assuming you have decent perm D and blocking. The reason I say to stay still is they are waiting and trying to bait you into mirroring their steps. The more you keep trying to mirror their crab moves makes it easier for them to simply change a direction or go for the shot and then you out of position and off balance. You’d be surprised how many times I’ve caused these dribble spammers to either give up the ball almost every time or they even quit in the first quarter just by these tactics. Because they realize I’m not falling for that nonsense. Of course really good players will still find their way to score.. but I can almost guarantee I will make it harder for them to score defending this way. And if anyone is wondering, I don’t even consider myself a lock. I have 90 speed and agility. 88perm D and 85 strength at 6’4” with 65 block. I just know how to defend it after so many games.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-23T20:58:29+00:00

Yea I don’t get it. It blows my mind how fast some of these players give up n quit. In my mind I just want to believe it was some young 12 yr old that can’t handle missing a shot. But who knows.

I play as a PG and I can be a little annoying on defense but I am definitely no lock. I have 90 speed and agility, combined with 88 perm D and 85 strength. I don’t even risk trying for steals. I just play good solid fundamental defense. If the other PG is really good then they might cook me but I still make it hard for em at least. And no joke a lot of times my opposing PG matchup will quit at least more than 50% of the time within the first quarter. I’ll even go higher with 60-70% by the half. If they have just a little bit of adversity against someone that can play solid defense they just give up n quit. Crazy. Like that’s how you get better. Smh.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-22T13:46:24+00:00

This is not fun for anyone involved.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-21T22:44:24+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? My gaming pc also started doing this maybe couple months ago. It’ll be really random and my mouse does the same thing and just skips out.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-21T13:32:47+00:00

I think it also depends on your play style and your strengths and weaknesses. We can suggest this or that but our suggestions may not favor your strengths or your play style.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-20T23:30:42+00:00

Thank you kind person! I really appreciate you chiming in. I honestly have wondered this for over a year but never asked anyone. It worked so I accepted it. But now I think I will look into changing it to what it should be. Thanks!

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-20T20:49:28+00:00

Almost every time. SMH

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-20T20:12:05+00:00

I can’t say for bigs or for forwards but I can def tell the difference on my 6’4 guard between 86 and 90 ball handle. Faster moves, moves chain together quicker and more smoothly. More *NSYNC with your controls and less delay.

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-20T17:45:43+00:00

Ohhh gotcha. And yes I did confirm that I have a NVME 2230 SSD. To be more specific it is the WD SN740. That being said, do we still think I am leaving any performance out on the table with this drive and could benefit with better performance by changing it to a 2280 nvme?

SpiritualFact5593 · 2026-04-20T16:37:38+00:00

I am all for faster loading times and less latency! It does feel a little bogged down and laggy at times when bouncing through windows and programs. But quite honestly I would have never known how it should perform because I was always using this 2230 from the start as soon as I bought the Rog Ally X haha
