The team is busy right now. If they have time to answer, we will unlock the thread.

First 92 is not that hard if it is straight. I am going to go out on a limb and say it is not straight has a bunch of movement. Which increases the difficulty tremendously as well as anything that may have a wrinkle. With that being said 92 is still 92 it gets on you in a hurry at 90+ and factor in the difficulty of wood bats I am going to go with a hard no. If you have never faced 90+ it is way different than 70-80 you can hear the ball coming in and it is by you before you blink.

Now if you went out and worked at it for a couple months and practiced I would say you would increase your chances of getting a hit.

Locking this thread, as a second update has been posted and pinned in the "Diamond Dynasty" section.

I’m 6 2 220 never took an L in the streets of the bay or LA and I've ran through both areas top to bottom my whole life and one thing I do know is that if you wanna take something from someone else bcuz you don't have it or you want to be given something that someone else has owns or possesses you're pretty much a communist.

🤣🤣🤣 the fake internet tough guy returns.

There's purity in your projection I see. I know I know how can anyone online not be a dweeb like you that's actually been outside...

What do you mean? I’m 6’12”, 350 kilograms, 1.5% body fat. Never took an L in the streets of Beverly Hills or Palo Alto.

1.5% body fat [censored] so your telling us you got half the body fat than mr Olympia congrats at least make it realistic

It feels like Hitting was tuned server side a couple days after the patch dropped, nerfing it a bit and making it feel more random. It’s still better than it was pre 1.11 but not by much.

Right after the patch dropped hitting felt good and was fun and I was hoping they would tune pitching before touching the hitting again.

Now it feels like too many good/okay and popped, the timing feedback feels off, and exit velos where the inner PCI is covering the ball are too low. Feels random again and less rewarding.

Pitching still needs attention and should receive it in the next patch IMO or the one right after if 1.12 focuses on hitting again.

@SpartyMike08 just fyi they fixed the live roster crash/commentary first thing this morning

I went a few days with no fielding issues whatsoever, but today I had a handful of instances where my outfielders wouldn’t lock on to fly balls and my infielders wouldn’t lock onto pop ups. Weird that it would just randomly happened today.

@tezzmaniandevil_psn said in How to tell you're gonna lose a game:

Gotta love the “timing hitting contact swing” combo… this brain dead mechanic (timing) was added so everybody has a chance to win without actually putting in the work to be good and win with a little bit of skill

Maybe it was put in as a option for folks that have disabilities and cant use anything else?

Fact is, timing isnt a problem like yall suggest. Zero top players are using it, just like every year its ZONE. If ya lose to timing players, ya might not be as good as you think you are, maybe? I bet, there are very few, if any, Timing players that are in HoF divisions or higher.

I've always been an offline player. 19 got me playing online alot more, but I do feel that any card that requires long stat grind shouldn't be sellable. IMO if you aren't willing to put in the grind, then you dont deserve the card.

cN someonne explain what this actually means? I play on ps5 on a tv no less than 12 years old

Why would you get a PS5 and plug it into a TV that old? lol.

uh it plays fine? very superficial sounding of you but sure thanks for answering my question.. oh wait you didnt

It's actual not superficial -- it's a valid point. It's supercilious, to be sure.

It's a good question because much of what the ps5 can do that makes it a worthwhile purchase is only available if you have a good monitor/tv. If you don't, then it doesn't make much sense to get a ps5 since most games are being cross-developed.

If your reason is, I love Ratchet and Clank and Gran Turismo, then that's fair.

Otherwise, yes: time to upgrade.

thank you for an actual answer this time and some reasoning behind it. I mean im happy with my tv and went 100-23 last year on ranked so it hasnt caused me an issue. saving some money for an upgrade would be smart to do though so thank you for that input, looking quickly it seems any sort of monitor or TV is gonna cost around 800+ which a lot to spend on as a student for simply gaming

How has your name not been banned? Whoa, lol.

oh relax

@taterracing said in Opponent rating:

Why isn't the rating next to the person's name on the opening screen? Have that and their record. That way there's no need to have to jump on TSN to try to find their rating -- keep it all in one place.

Because the entire system enabled disgusting behavior from people like Skepple. Plus its meaningless. For example last year and even this year. I would do Affinity innings with some crappy players just to rack up innings. I would take way more Ls than usual and my BA dips. Then I would switch to my Good team and all of sudden I am winning and I make WS.

People like Skepple would look at my record and by like he is horrible because a dude like him is so desperate to win that he couldn't conceive of the possibility dudes might not being playing to win every game.

Skepple wants to know what Rank you are at to know if he is playing on AS or HOF. Can't you comprehend what you read.

Why is this in the game? Someone from SDS explain this? Why not just always have the pitches show in screen. Just be honest you leave stuff like this in here to cater into the losers that want to play cheesy.

Stop quick pitching

There is no such thing as quick pitching in this game. Either you’re ready or you’re not. Pitchers dictate the pace of play.

Wth you talking about their is definitely quick pitching. And I don’t press r2 other than the first batter or so to see the pitches, then I won’t

"Quick pitching" implies pitching before a batter is even settled in and ready. A real thing in real baseball, but not in a video game. If it's so bad, then call time or pause. Much better than R2ing and throwing off a pitcher.

No in game quick pitching is selecting a pitch before batter can use any option available, like R3 R2 or a practice swing for there batter. Once a pitch is selected the batter cannot use those options at all. Therefore people hit R2 so they can check how fielders are setup.

Not the Majority of them.

What i'm explaining is an exploit period! You have no difinitive proof if majority or minority use it. And if you do provide the proof, not just because you say it's so.

I agree it is an exploit. The majority of the player I play use it.

There are 2 exploits so you are saying "it" when you should be saying "them" once again failure to acknowlege "Quick pitch exploit" only "R2 exploit." Yeah i vote close people are just trolling now. Go figure.

OK,

Any stat that claims Yadi isn’t good enough for the hall ain’t good enough for me

Gameplay is definitely moving in the right direction but overall is still disappointing. Defensive awareness and urgency is still a major problem. Balls sitting right next to my fielder always always result in 2-3 laps around the ball before my fielder engages to pick the ball up instead of simply automatically bending over and picking it up. It happens with infielders and outfielders and its infuriating when the ball is simply just sitting there. Also casual throws still happen far too often when fast players are running the bases resulting in infield singles on routine plays and extra bases on balls hit in gap or up against wall.
Also relievers need to start with full stamina in rs, it sucks only having 15 or so pitches before they are gassed. The adjustment to stamina regeneration helps the starter out of bullpen abuse but not having relievers at full power really depleats your bullpen quickly and forces u to use a starter every few games or so to give your pen a break so it makes someone like me who tries not use starters out of the pen and forces me to do it to compete. If my bullpen guys could at least give me 20-25 pitches each i could rotate them enough to keep them fresh and never use my starters outside of extra innings.

Postseason Juan Yepez, sooooo baaaad

Ok, hit the homerun first swing after posting. Thank you

I remember years back, on the Commordore 64, playing my dad in Micro League Baseball. I squeezed in the winning run with Darryl Strawberry and he swore he'd never play me again; and didn't LOL

Would love to see an updated version of this
