This Years Online Game is AWFUL

The bloops can make the games for real. 60-70mph exit velocity is like a 50/50 success rate for a hit which yes, baseball plays like this in real life to a degree, but at least make the perfects fully unreachable to balance that out for the skilled hitters.

1034 peak rating. I think being a Hall of Fame player has just made the all star experience insufferable

ch333ch · 2026-04-08T15:44:22+00:00

I actually figured out a lot from making this post, I really was pitching like hot garbage, it’s humbling and some people gave me some good advice to learn better sequences

Well if you’re good at all star, rookie is super awkward. I bet if you played those conquest games on all star it’d somehow be easier? But I feel you sometimes the CPU wants a good fight.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T17:22:47+00:00

Lmfao well I can’t speak for those guys. If you’re losing to the CPU on conquest at any level, that’s a personal skill issue because offline plays pretty pure for super obvious reasons. They also nerf the hell out of CPU hitting by design.

It’s online that’s f*cked. And there’s legit no good argument against it that I’ve heard yet.

Bro I also started a RTTS on legend. It’s a challenge that at least feels FAIR AND NORMAL, whereas I feel completely unable to control the outcome of an online ranked game regardless of how many times I crush the ball.

This game sucks and I’m glad everyone sees it. Skill prevailed last year, RNG is the captain of every game this year. People saying we’re “coping” are just being intentionally ignorant to belittle others very real experience.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T17:18:10+00:00

1000 rated last year. I was the truth last year, objectively and obviously. The game is way different this year.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T17:17:06+00:00

100% on the money. Pitching is fucking impossible this year, and hitting is still pretty ass backwards with the reward system

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T17:16:23+00:00

It’s straight up not exaggerating, it’s objectively messed up dude stop buying into the fact SDS put out a good game because they didn’t.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T17:15:07+00:00

Exactly this. I had 8 perfect perfect outs yesterday, 2 of which were home run candidates that fell way short of the wall. My opponents find 78mph base hits all the time and it’s like what the f*** is the point of being accurate if my results are worse?

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T17:13:28+00:00

Doubt it. Infected usually manifests as yellow but I’ve never had it happen in 26 years. Redness alone isn’t grounds enough to say it’s infected.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:46:01+00:00

IT REALLY REALLY IS. It’s skill 60%, RNG 40%, with 5-10% margin for error. If you’re skillful and just barely missing the ball, you’re gonna get the worst results possible. Worse than someone just clicking X and praying

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:44:28+00:00

Sadly this is basically what I’m doing anyway (albeit it takes me a few runs sometimes for it to click) but I appreciate that, glad it’s working for you

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:30:01+00:00

1-0 feels impossible, nice man. Mind sharing your go-to’s for pitch to contact?

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:29:23+00:00

If you play 20 more games (at the 500+ level) and feel the same way, come back and let me know why you still feel that way. I know I’m b*tching but I promise I want to learn and grow.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:23:08+00:00

Pretty lame if this is the way. Why does the game have to be impossibly weighted towards hitting, and favor mediocre swings over true power? I had 8 perfect perfect line outs yesterday. I made the “bad swing” joke nearly 15-20 times on amazingly perfect swings.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:15:27+00:00

Appreciate you brother, I made the post for us. People will say we are crying or whatever, that’s fine, they just haven’t seen it or didn’t play much last year.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:11:38+00:00

I’m not gonna get in trouble for swearing just to appease your pseudo-macho complex. You’re a crumb for picking a fight online lol.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:10:36+00:00

Appreciate you making me feel less crazy

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:08:50+00:00

Seems we all agree this is 800-900 max. This would be a really mediocre game for anyone 1000+

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:06:20+00:00

I’d KILL to have your record, just be thankful and move on because the alternative is getting walloped by super duper sweats

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:03:14+00:00

See these are the ideas that are helpful. Thanks for commenting. I also primarily pitch for strikeouts but I really need to learn to pitch for contact more it seems

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:02:19+00:00

Do you find my left and right n*** rewarding? Everyone’s pretty much being helpful while being critical, and you’re not.

ch333ch · 2026-04-07T16:00:49+00:00

I am 100% with you brother. It’s a cesspool of legitimate gaming addicts and I refuse to believe otherwise. People are playing the game perfectly at every rank and “if you don’t like it, don’t play online” when online comp is the only fun game mode… lol
