Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

The reason I refuse to drop below All-Star is because I know that if I keep playing and keep improving my team (with better players) that EVENTUALLY my stats will improve. At least I think they will. If I have a team full of players that are rated 85-99 and I'm still last in the league in hitting, then it might be time for me to change things up.

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

I feel you OP!!! I literally feel my mood change for the better or worse based on my performance in this game. Mainly it makes me frustrated when I put good swings on balls and I end up with one run in the game.

Last night I'm down 9-7 in the 9th bases loaded two outs and I hit a damn rocket right to the CF to end it. Battles so hard to come back and just missed winning that game.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one here. I get so freaking mad. What probably makes me feel the worst is that I'm a grown man and I have to hold myself back from punching a hole in my wall sometimes. I feel like I'm 12-years old again, going into total rage mode. Only this time I'm quite a bit stronger so smashing the top of my gaming system might not be a good idea anymore.

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

I have a hard time being patient most times, or i smoked a bit too much and my eyes dont see the ball to well...

needless to say I dont rage but sometimes i do sim to the end haha

I don't go Into rage mode but I'd be lying if I said the thought of slamming my controller on the ground didn't stroll through my head lol

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

Hands down hardest video game Ive ever played. Sometimes I just sit on my couch in disbelief at how bad I am. Ive tried DD for hitting. Too easy as I seem to hover around rookie+ to Veteran. Hit way too many HRs. So I said screw it and hit on All Star. I go through stretches where Im just lost at the plate. Just made Brandon Beachy look like Cy Young. I adgusted the computer consistency down a notch which I thought would help. But since im pressing so bad now out of frustration I really have no idea.
Im addicted to this game yet hate it at times. Strange combo.

Holy Smokes !! ... This is totally me...I play on all star level. I'm just doing a 1 yr. franchise with the Reds. I don't have much playing time at all,between work and the wifey. I play 1 game,then sim 8 ... All the way through season hopefully. I will end up playing 20 games or so. I played about 10 practice games before franchise.... Lost them all... Started my Reds franchise couple of weeks ago. I'm on my 5th Human game... Of course lost my first 4 . I was beating the cubs 2-0 in the 8th and said to myself...."wow,your finally going to win your 1st franchise game in 2 yrs playing this game "... Lost 3-2 . Last yr I didn't have time to play,I played 10 franchise games....lost them all . My pitching on all star is actually damn good,but my hitting is quite bad. Before a game,I pump myself up and say be patient,play smart,pitch we'll.... And you will finally win. I use arm ours slider set and it's great . I made minor tweaks,made Hum contact 6,hum and CPU pitching control 3 . It plays great,but I'm still searching for my 1st win. Again,I'm lucky if I play once a week.

I'd be lying if I said I haven't already slammed a controller down into the ground. I feel like a hypocrite, and I guess I am when I tell my six-year-old not to "get mad at video games."

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

I hate Kris Medlens face btw. Scored one run off him in 17 innings. Just dont get it. His stuff seems so hittable....

What are your settings? I used to not pay attention to the settings but when I was getting only 2-5 hits a game I had to change some things. I didn't know the difference between zone and timing hitting but all along I was hitting as if it was on timing but really was on zone. If you're using zone hitting and are struggling like I was I suggest changing it to timing and I tried to use DD but i use veteran and just bumped it up to All Star. Also slider sets really help but you can take someones sliders and tweak them to your liking.

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

When I hit the 10th infield fly in a game, I've thrown the controller on the desk and just went outside to play with the dog and check the garden.

The number of line drives that find gloves just makes me smh a lot of times as well.

Real life? About a .700 BABIP. So far in this game, I'm at about .350 at best...on top of how few line drives my hitters want to hit.

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

From my time expiermenting with sliders, I have found the perfect sliders for me are on Vetran with Contact and power down etc

I think Pitch Speed has A LOT to do with my problems with hitting I had it set on 8, after playing lots and lots of games most of them I was getting hits realisticly between 5 to 10 somtimes even 15 a game but a lot of those games I would only get 1 or 2 runs (yeah just like the yankees offence in real life!! LOL)

I found though from playing with pitch speed on 8 pushing it down to 7 that seemed to have fixed my run scoring in RISP a lot better

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

I am in a cold freaking streak!!!! I play on DD and the level is on HoF. I cannot hit the freaking ball!!!!! I am 0.00 in the past 4 games!!!!!! If I hit...usually a FO or PL. I swear I can slam the controllers but my daughter, 4 yo is always watching me play, add more frustration because I cannot vent out in the fear she's going to catch i.

In fact, she starts to say like "that's cool dude!" or "Oh man!" or "YEAAAA Baby" (if i hit a HR or make a crucial RBI.

Bud. Im 30 games into my season and still stuck on Rookie on DD hitting. Actually Rookie- to be exact. I just dont get it. Ive used DD hitting before and quickly advanced to Veteran. Would anyone know if messing with Sliders would affect DD hitting? I lowered the computer pitching to try and actually get some walks but even that doesn't work. They still pump in like 80% strikes. Im hoping if I ever get out of Rookie and god forbid get to Veteran I might actually draw some walks.
I had a 13 pitch at bat. Every pitch was a strike.

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

I've launched my controller more times playing than this game than every other game combined. I'm already working on controller number 3.

NO! I did not touch any of the sliders, just the DD and some personal preference such as Zone hitting etc. As a hitter, concentrated on vs RHP (90 contact and 83 power) and vs LHP (83 contact and 77 power), Discipline, Vision and Clutch are all in mid 80's, speed is 80, Arm accurace is in 72 the rest of the fielding are in low 60's. Did not pay attention to bunting and Base aggression, stealing.

It took me the whole year in AA and AAA. 2nd year, 1st MLB contract. Then on my 3rd year, they made 3-year contract (1.2M per, haggled with the team like 2x to get this amount).

Im in the 4th year (2017), and Im at my HoF....i think, I might change DD to AS coz I cannot hit anything My advice to you is, just be patient AB, I know I get "button panic" and try to hit every pitch if there's a chance of RBI. DONT! Be patient...but in HoF im losing my patience

Lol. I shouldnt laugh but I hear you. This game is like a crazy chick whos great in bed.

Re: This Game Makes Me Feel So Bad About Myself

Ya Canucks. My biggest weakness now is situational hitting. Knowing that every ball in the strike zone doesnt need to be swung at. Perfect example. Bases loaded one out. Pinch hit Bryce. First pitch is a sinker low in the zone. Hit into DP. You think I would be smarter than that by now.
Ill say one thing about this game. Generally when you lose you know why and have yourself to blame.
