Re: MLB The Show 24 Patch #12 Adjusts Foul Ball Rate, Fixes CPU Trade Bug and More -

For anyone interested in viewing, here is the game that I just finished against the Reds. Default Legend with zone hitting and meter pitching.

I finished the game with 8 strikeouts total. Miles Mikolas pitched the best game he's pitched since early April and the Reds aggressiveness sure helped as well.

So I raised foul frequency for the CPU up to 7 and it seemed to help. I got 10 strikeouts, but they didn't feel cheap other than maybe a couple. Ashcraft went 8ip 4h 0er 7k. I only had 3k through 5 innings, then got two Ks in the 6th and 7th. CP Tanner Scott struck out the side bottom 9 to get to 10 total.

Hopefully this can continue and I see games of 8 or less again most games. I highly doubt I ever see only 5Ks or less again with this patch like I did quite a few times before though. Had a game with only 2Ks once even. But as long as I'm not averaging 12-15 per game I can live with it.

I'm just going to say this. Screw all those online players wanting to finish their little 3 inning games or whatever DD is in 10 minutes. Complaining that other players with their overpowered 99-120 contact rated DD players foul off too many pitches. No kidding! Their PCI covers the entire plate and then some, and they all use that super zoomed in view to make seeing and reacting to the ball easier. What do you expect!? These sports gaming companies continuing to pander to online crowd makes me so aggravated.

What a very misguided post.

Scapegoating a group of people based on nothing more than ignorance.

Okay? They don't change things for online, "competitive mode" for no reason. They listen to their complaints and react to them. If you know another reason why they decreased fouls balls please do tell. Otherwise, I don't understand why you're coming at me like that. You okay there, bud?

That’s not really how DD works though. The attributes? Yes. The PCI for most of those guys is much smaller since the people complaining about foul balls are usually playing at HOF difficulty anyway.

I also wish they would’ve left it alone but I wouldn’t blame DD for it. It was also usually offline players complaining since you don’t notice it as much online anyway.

First off all, you are blaming anyone that plays online/DD for the game not being up to your standards which is ridiculous because there are several here at OS, and I expect many more amongst the community, that play both online and offline.

Second, competitive play style isn't for online only, it can be utilized for offline as well. So again, its not just "online" users.

Next, the competiive style players weren't the only ones "complaining" about the increased foul balls. And the patch wasn't only for competitive style players, it was just going to primarily effect them, because competitive style players typically use zone/pci hitting mechanics.

Your post was misguided because you assumed that the online community is the sole reason for the change, which it wasn't. And it was ignorant because again you assumed that everyone that plays online/DD wants to finish a game in 10 minutes and all play with the same camera settings and such.

And I'm fine, thanks for checking.

Competitive online players all use zoomed camera and zone hitting, period. I'm not talking about the online players who enjoy collecting cards and play vs CPU only. If you are playing competitively you don't have a chance if you're using fish eye and timing/directional hitting. And then use anything other than pinpoint pitching you will get crushed by competitive players. I've watched many guys playing online last year, not this year. And most of them would start complaining the other guy fouls off their pinpoint dot pitches over and over and it drags the game along without much fun. While I understand that sentiment, that's what you get with overpowered contact ratings for some of these cards.

And if you play offline using competitive mode it's not going to have same effect cause you're not facing real players. And real teams don't have guys with contact ratings of 105-115. So no, you probably won't have even had any problems with foul balls. Again, competitive online players only ones I know complaining. Obvious they pander to that small niche of a crowd by changing foul ball rates two years in a row now (2023 out the box). Stop being so offended by anyone who criticizes this game bro. It ain't that deep. Maybe you are a secret game developer for SDS idk, but no reason to get upset every time someone criticizes MLBTS.

Well this game is unfortunately done for me. Franchise mode anyway. I have played a handful of games and it's just getting more noticable. Every game my SP is going 6-7ip fairly easily and guaranteed 7-9Ks. Then bullpen gets 2-3ks every game. Same story each game and it has become very boring. No real effort needed to pitch, same as last year. No, it is not AS bad as last year, but it is bad and unfortunately unplayable for me at this point.

I'll still continue my RTTS and the storylines are cool. Franchise mode vs CPU is over and lost. Sadly this is becoming another sports title I have no plans to purchase again.

Before you ditch it, just do what i do on HOF, classic pitching, and turn the cpu contact slider and power slider all the way up to 10, with all other cpu hitting sliders at default.

I did this a while ago and striking out the cpu is really difficult. I eventually back those sliders back down to 8 and it's a struggle to get K's now, you gotta work hard.

I thought you were always using HOF default?

I was for awhile but eventually I just wasn't getting enough challenge from the cpu so I cranked up those 2 sliders and i was getting hit pretty hard.
