    That sucks. It has to be fixed soon. It is happening enough to everybody.

      I just finished all the Satchel Paige challenges and now have him for my Diamond Dynasty team.

      I don't even play that mode but I may play some games this year.

        The biggest problem I had with the past few years was the lack of offense in RTTS and how absolutely terrible the game felt, you had to turn up the sliders so high just to get the game to play even half decent but then they just hit the ball over and over again and you had zero control.

        It felt bland and boring no matter what I did except make the offense too overpowered, this seems to have been fixed reading this thread but it does worry me on whether this will still be able to be seen in a game mode like RTTS as it is all I play.

              I use quick counts which probably limits this some. But I'm not seeing 3-4 a game, but I'd say once per is possible. I would try raising cpu consistency up. Should help

                To be honest the offense, especially the cpu has been very weak since 2018 or maybe even 17. Now, if you do clean screen and throw blind I can see how that would mask the problem. But we use the classic fade ball marker ourselves. It just depends on your play style, IMO. This seems to be the only sports game so many are reluctant to alter from default sliders. That may work if you pitch blind with no ball marker, but not everyone wants to play that way.

                2023 is first year I felt the offense is opened up on default since probably 2016 or 17. But still the cpu needs a bit more punch. At least on Allstar difficulty. And to be fair a lot of it is just us players getting better at the game over the years.

                The cpu plate approach has been the same forever imo. It's the same swing happy, chase sliders away etc approach no matter the difficulty. I still say the only thing difficulty does is increase or decrease the PCI size (invisible or not). I've tested this throughly many times now and they will swing or not swing the same amount from veteran to legend difficulty.

                I recommend buying the game every year but that's just me lol. You're always going to need to give cpu more offense because it's an AI and not human.

                  Keep everything the same all I did was raise pitch speed to 10. Much better lol , it must of been the slow motion pitches that had my timing jacked up lol

                  And do y’all have auto throwing on ?

                    Last game of the night was crazy,
                    Cle vs Cws
                    12-6
                    I had 16 hits they had 10
                    They scored all 6 of their points in the first 2 innings they were up 6-0 and didn’t do much after only really have 3 hits after that point.

                      Still enjoying the sliders, couple items though.

                      In all the games I have played, which is a bunch, I have yet to see an error made by my team or the CPU. Plus, haven't seen in in-game injury either. Using the latest sliders posted.

                      Thoughts?

                        This is just a legacy issue with the game. You'll rarely see errors, even with infield throwing errors at 10 like we use. I think it say 8 in OP but I always put it at 10. If you crank up the fielding errors high all it causes is fielders to dive and knock down balls instead of making clean plays. Outfielders will dive and rarely catch the ball. None of which would be an error but just doesn't make the game flow very well.

                        In game injuries at 10 you will have some on rare occasions. They seem to always come in bunches when they decide to happen.

                        Personally I do something different so I have equal opportunity to have injuries on my team as the cpu.

                          Fun game! Game 4 @ Seattle I won 11-7 with 13 hits to their 18. I homered twice with Giménez and they didn't hit a homerun which was probably the deciding factor. I assume they had near 20 LOB as I had runners on base throughout the entire game.

                          Game one was an entire different game with two aces pitching. They won 5-1 with 8 hits to my 7. Their three homeruns were the difference. Luckily they were all solos or the score would've been much worse.

                          To answer your question above, yes we have auto throw on so the blue ring isn't there underneath the player with the ball.

                            Brother…I thought I was the only one that had that type of sim block!!!

                            I have tried to do my seasons like this several times, but it wouldn’t take long for me to quit and start over because I feel like that’s my team and players, but not my results.

                              Phillies,

                              Just a question, and this will probably jinx the hell out of me. By chance were you mashing buttons to get through a cut scene when it crashed? I have had 1 crash like this and I’m on series x. I did it on accident…I watch all cut scenes, but accidentally mashed the A button to skip, and it crashed and sent me out to the Home Screen.

                                I must have the demon game or something because my SS made a throwing error in the 9th that sent the game into extra innings and a error in the 11th that almost lost the game.
