Hitting Update - Amazing So Far

Do we think this will make the stage 1 showdowns any easier? I still need to grind those.

The one thing this game didnt need was more homeruns, thats all the game has been.

Okay so I've just got one event game under my belt since the update but I played an all diamond team.
I've got maybe like 3 diamonds on my squad. I hit a two run homer with one guy and had a few singles and two doubles. Hitting felt sooooo smooth.
Pitching wise I was able to still blow fastballs by my opponent - who was already diamond so they've got some experience.
My homerun though was on a breaking ball. Normally I feel as if I would have gotten worse contact before the update, even though I hit it pretty well.
I used Morton, Sale, and Pagan. Fastballs still can go by people, but if they are looking for it they might crush it. My opponent just missed a fastball and crushed it early so it went foul instead of a homerun. I left the fastball somewhat high and inside but he was looking for it.
I like this update alot. Reminds me of early launch.
Hold on there, we're not allowed to depict our observations, @Jeviduty needs to approve it as a lifetime achievement first. He's the only one on earth who understands sample size. He also calls people "bro".

Agreed. IDK why SDS can't mix up singles and doubles instead of ALL HR's, but it feels nice not to be popping / striking out as much in my limited action so far. Need @Jeviduty 's approval since he is the thread master.

I've played 4 event games. No luck for me, three singles in 4 games. Every time I do hit it hard its right at someone.
People are hitting me hard though, so maybe its better. Don't know. Too small a sample size, could just be a bad day for me.

Just pitch SUPER carefully, no fastballs.
So the game is completely unrealistic? MLB hitters will tell you the hardest pitch to hit is a well-located fastball. If you can't even throw one in a video game, why play it?
Cause you’ll be hitting bombs chump

Yeah, could just be me. I'm so trained to swing at everything super early its hard to keep from doing it. Fastballs seemed a bit slower so that's possible, didn't have many too lates on fastballs.

You can’t tell anything until a few days from now.

I’m LOVING the new update:
Just played 3 RS games all wins in a matter of 20 minutes:
Game 1: Quit after seeing my God Squad
Game 2: Biggio HR in the 2nd inning - He rage quits
Game 3: Trout leadoff HR, Mantle almost HR but gets a double, Sheffield HR off a contact swing - He rage quits.
My players finally feel like they hit at their attributes. Just wait for fast balls and swing away!
Just pitch SUPER carefully, no fastballs.
That doesn't mean you are a good player, you have lost to some bad squads with your god squad

Not true, Mark DeRosa played 10 years in the big leagues and still can't hit a slider.

He always sat middle away fastball

relax guys. SDS will patch it again and make it harder once they see all you posting how easy it is 2 hit.
-
Looks like my era is gonna go up lol
-
I think they reverted sliders back to pre-patch... and hitting is glorious. They just need to tighten up pitching a bit and we got a good game

Strange. Have been playing events all week long. Went into RS at AS and my timing was completely off. Went back into the event and put up 3 in 3. Put up 3 in the last 18 in RS.
