Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

Finally finished that game I started way back this morning lol.

Won 7-3 with 14 hits.

I struck out 10 times but that's probably still me getting used to legend and plus caught lookings trying to draw walks.

Price had 2 K's in 6 innings. Only got 3 all game, all three from Kris Bryant.

Off the bat, the ball responded as it did in 1.09 for me. Hard hit balls still had good pace. Trajectories as they were.

Looks like I won't have to adjust things for the patch once again and any impact from the smaller PCIs wasn't much. Slightly smaller indeed, and I have 0 Foul Frequency.

Nothing to worry about for me. Won't even think about the patch now.

Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

Played 2 games so far. Every run I have scored have come off of homeruns. Not one double and only about 3 or 4 singles for the 2 games combined. Something feels different from this patch, but we'll see...

Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

Far too much assumption though here all the time.

Thus far nothing has ruined 18 in terms of patches. I am playing right now.

Game is as good as ever.

Too much jumping to broad based conclusions before anyone even plays the game. And a post by someone (not you) who "sat out the game this year” stirring the freaking pot.

Ridiculous.

And far too much homerism from some that perhaps "didn't sit out the game this year." Some who post here pretty much come off like a paid advert for the game.

I've been saying this for YEARS. The apologists for this game are nauseating and I honestly feel like they're paid to do so. Is the game good? Yes. Is the game great? No. Is it the best it's been in terms of gameplay? Yes. Does that necessarily mean there aren't PLENTY of things still wrong with the game? NO!

Game definitely has its flaws, but I’d still consider it a great game. I’m talking solely gameplay. Not franchise, presentation, etc.

We are. I am not sure about the others but I get $10 for every positive post I make.

With this setup with SDS I was able to quit my job and am now working from home just playing the Show and posting positive support of the game and the developers on OS.

I said certain posters come off like paid adverts, not that they actually are getting paid. But, hey, if you can make some scratch off of posts you'd make anyway, then more power to you!

Just don't tell us how you work from home and make all this money...

Don't forget the $15 bonus everytime PAD insults you for disagreeing with him.

Sorry this is just really funny.

and honestly though no insult to PAD, I honestly think he likes jerking my chain as much as I like messing with him.

Awesome

Nice stack of cash, btw. I had to like that.

Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

Good to hear mostly positive comments from those who have actually tried the patch. I probably won't get to testing it out until tomorrow but I am eager to try it.

Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

Can we just stop with the generalizations about OS, both positive and negative? So tired of reading stuff like this.

I open this thread to read about the patch, not all this other garbage.

Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

I seriously doubt the new patch will make the game play badly. I would be surprised if it did. I really don't think some of this is really about the patch.

I think there is a bit of a disconnect between players who enjoy the game as a competitive game only - not minding if a few stats are wonky as long as it plays good - and those players who try to make it as much of a simulation as possible, which, with a little slider work, has been attainable most years (not always 100% perfect but pretty dang close - even for our baseball nerdity).

A game could be fun and play well for many people, even arcade style, depending on what they want. Some of us are statistics buffs and enjoy very realistic stats over large sample sizes. Others mainly like gameplay that feels and looks good while in-game, and are willing to sacrifice some statistics. Others try to strike some degree of a balance between the two. There isnt a right or wrong way, only different preferences.

I personally have always enjoyed the game as more of a sim, which The Show was meant to be, with some user input. (Ive had very realistic statistics and results over multiple seasons of every pitch of 162 games - thank the sliders.) The bad part for those like me, is that the game is trending less and less like a simulation and trending more toward arcade-like play. This isnt based on a 5 game losing streak after a patch, or a slider test, or small or big sample sizes, but it is based on their own description (i know they didnt say 'arcade', but that is the direction it is heading, albeit with small steps.)

Maybe we wouldn't have even noticed much difference for a while had they not been honest with us. I am glad they are being honest. But their description is clear that the game is moving more and more toward user-input results, and i have an inkling that there will be much more to come. Probably even this year.

"...we've come to realize that some of our simulation systems have adverse effects in the online competitive environment. We believe it's important that online competitive play is predicated on fair and balanced gameplay emphasizing user skill. On that note...(we are reducing certain simulation components.)"

There is nothing to be argued here. It is very clear that certain simulation components are being sacrificed with possibly more to come in future patches. And it also clear that those that enjoy the game as a just a competitive baseball game, while very realistic statistics are secondary, are correct. This patch shouldn't affect them one bit. Likewise, those that have always enjoyed making the game into a fun-to-play simulator with realistic stats are also correct. This specific patch may (or may not) affect them, but just the description alone goes against everything they have enjoyed about the Show as a simulation. And it only confirms where most of us know the game (like most games) is heading.

This isnt really even about the patch. It is more about the general direction the game has been trending and now, continues to trend. I think we can just realize one group has no reason at all to be skeptical or concerned, while the other group has every reason to be.
