Update 1.11 Discussion
-
I really think people are out of touch with how hitting should be. Haven’t played yet with 1.11 but hitting pre patch was close to perfect. People are way overestimating how often good bat placement and good timing results in good contact. Many times irl that results in a fly out. I think people who play this game generally just want to hit the ball as far as they can. That’s just not baseball. I’d way rather play a 3-2 game than 14-13. Making hitting easier takes a lot of skill out of pitching. In a video game it’s way way easier to barrel a ball than it is irl, so I think that the game should compensate for that by making you really have to precisely square the ball up repeatedly to score runs. Otherwise it’s a home run derby, and we already have a mode for that. It’s way more fun to battle it out trying to create runs with hits and an occasional big home run, rather than rolling the dice to see who can have more balls leave the yard than get caught at the wall. IMO

Didn't notice a PCI/timing window difference. Think the hitting was just fine the way it was.
Still, FIELDING needs enhancement.
Pitching on All-Star is a sharp difference in pitcher's command vs. Veteran. Needs to be not as severe a difference.Allow us to Quick Sell the "No Sell" cards.
Make a HR camera that follows the ball in the air like on broadcast TV instead of looking from ground level.

Second RS Game today was fun being down 7-2 after 6 and winning 8-7 in the Bottom of the 9th with a fly ball against the LF Wall and FS Marsh not knowing where the ball is. That scored my winning run from 1st.
But Fielding is fine lol...
Btw.
Hit a No Doubt HR with FOTF Buxton with Contact Swing and a Oppo Taco HR with 99 Posey also with Contact Swing.
I think there a still flaws... -
I don't know about you guys but there's two things I'd like SDS to change when it comes to pitching.
So many times using the Pitch Meter I time it to where the feedback says "Perfect release" yet the pitch still misses the mark. Shouldn't the pitch hit "bullseye" if it's "PERFECT"?
I have the Ump settings to "variable" but I can't remember whenever I got a call just off the edge of the zone in my favor. Seems like the computer gets those 40% strike/60% ball pitches in their favor a hell of lot more than me.

Haven't played yet, but if this helps with 95mph fastballs feeling like 120 sometimes then I'm all for it. That feeling like you're swinging an axe underwater is one biggest complaint this year. It's ridiculous that i have to swing before i even see the ball and pray its a high fastball just to get a very late.
That is not much different.

Can we turn off the home run camera yet?
Don't ever do this SDS. It may be the best feature added this year.
I guess an option for people that want to turn it off is not cool?

sure an option, but similar to first pitch give the person off the waiting for opponent prompt that has it on

You'd still see it if I had mine enabled, unless they make it to where is as though i were in the pause menu.
-
even if its just an offline option I'd be happy, I just want my game to feel like a real broadcast and not cut to a camera attached behind the player when a homer is hit. Also kills the drama for me. To each their own, all I want is the option back

Am I the only one who is early on every thing now ??

Hopefully this update marks the end of “freeze offs” and being called out when you beat a throw by 5 steps. I also hope there is a major crackdown on RS cheating. Fingers crossed.
I've played close to 1000 RS games a year for the last 3 years, I've never had a freeze off. Why? It's an internet connection issue, which is YOUR fault. So, upgrade your internet and stop complaining about a YOU issue.

I noticed a difference in events and it was nice. I did not notice a difference in ranked seasons. Pitches were super fast on all star. I would like for all star in ranked seasons to play like all star in events. Make it happen.

This update complete broke the game. I’ve given up more perfect perfects today than I have all year combined. It is now homerun derby. I’m not sure who in the community was telling SDS to fix the PCI size but I feel like it was no one. We’ve been asking you to fix fielding all year and you haven’t touched it. The fielding is just as bad as launch. And now no matter how well you pitch you will get lit up by 8 homeruns a game.
I also don’t understand why every event game I’ve been playing has been against people with insane records. 66-24, 39-7, 44-16, etc. every [censored] game I play seems to be against a WS player with trout, arenado, Bellinger, etc.
-
I love the way everyone plays one game and offers their opinion. Come back in 5-7 days and tell us, because nobody has a big enough sample size to offer any meaningful feedback at this stage.
-
Can anyone tell a difference in Showdown?
-
Good patch SDS! Results make sense, better ball physics, more hit types. And even pitching seems better(?)
1.11 been fun.
Don’t touch hitting again until you look at pitching... Although pitching seems better compared to a few weeks ago. I need to
play more games needed to be sure. -

It’s cool to be a try hard. Must. Win. At. All. Costs.

Thank you SDS! The game is getting fun to play again. Any plans to adjust pitching accuracy? Either way, thank you for this patch! Good Luck

@John3221 said in Update 1.11 Discussion:
Is there a fix to the hitting in all other modes in the game besides just DD??
I enjoy the game and try not to complain but the hitting does need a tweak in rtts. I've had alot of squared up balls say good/okay and so on. That can be the difference between a dinger and a fly out.
