Can we turn off the home run camera yet?
Don't ever do this SDS. It may be the best feature added this year.
Home run cameras weren’t added this year, they’ve been around for a long time... They took away the choice to turn them off years ago, and not sure why...

He's referring to pressing L2 after hitting one in online play.

Game is a joke. I’m squaring the ball up but it’s good okay pop ups. SDs fix this dumpster fire because it honestly sucks
-
Lost one game 13-2, he couldn't stop hitting home runs. Hopefully just a one off, coz that won't make for a very fun game anymore
-
Yes, hitting is waaay better now. 1st game I played in RS tonight, I had 4 doubles, 1 triple, 1 hr in a 5-2 win. 2nd game I played I lost 5-1 vs Kluber, but put a tonne of balls in play..
We have to remember that this videogame has to be fun. That’s the whole point - to have fun. Even when I won w the last patch, it wasn’t a fun experience. SDS Let’s keep it this way. Thx!

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.
Enough with the cheating crapola. You sound like a broken record.
I can't believe he's still crying about this. We tried our best to describe latency. He didn't even know what a freeze off was.

That’s fine, I gave up nine runs in the 8th to lose my last game by four. I couldn’t pitch anywhere that wasn’t yanked out for a homer. I think this patch will be a major boost for directional hitters.

@allday9128 said in Update 1.11 Discussion:
Am I the only one who is early on every thing now ??
Not sure if anyone has replied, but it's because they changed the timing window, so essentially imo yes, if you had hitting timing "perfected", you're now back a step.
-
The timing window was the biggest issue I faced in the game. It seems a lot better now, not perfect, but much better.

No I’m referring to the homerun no doubt camera. I actually love the L2 replay feature
-
SDS please remove batting feedback in game. Save yourselves some headaches. Leave the cool sounds though.
Patch seems to have improved hitting. I need to play more though to be certain.
-
I didn't see a change in urgency played last night and guy got a double because Bellinger took his time to a routine base hit and then his 99 AS was more like 58 AS because he just lobbed it in. Hitting felt better still got some good okay but it was only decent PCI placement. The one's that were good or better placement actually got better results. I've had good okay with dead center PCI before patch in my 2 games all dead center PCI were either Good/Good, Good/Squared, or Perfect/Perfect.
-
I firstly want to thank SDS for this patch and the ongoing effort to improve game play. I've been a regular offline player since Show 15, I'm not a great hitter and will never be ha.
I do not enjoy massive difficulty in games. I appreciate this patch and new content given these uncertain times. Please make the showdown mode and moments user friendly and not too difficult. I find way too many good/okay, good/squared up, perfect/perfect contact to be outs during showdown and moments. These modes are already very difficult and challenging for a majority of us, it is completely demoralizing and frustrating to make outs on perfect/perfect and good/okay contact on those modes. During online PVP I completely understand. However, please make the showdown and moments to be user friendly, rewarding, non difficult modes to play.
I appreciate all your hard work SDS, keep up the good work.
-
I don't see a single improvement! Groove fastball 94 mph, good swing timing on a prolific hitter - result - pop up to the catcher. Runner on first, one out, another grooved fastball. Good timing, good hitter. Result - the ubiquitous double-play. Hitting still sucks. Game is designed to cheat.
-
The game was so competitive. There was a real skill gap. You couldn’t just foul everything off. Better players were winning games. Now HOF feels like all star.
-
When are you guys going to fix the catcher throwing meter problem. There's a trophy tied to a perfect throw from the catcher.

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...oppo taco? what the heck are you saying???? its gotta be some lame phrase you heard online. that reeks of the little fat kid or his pal gumby. oppo taco? smh. just say opposite field like an adult would say.
-
SDS, I would like to sincerely thank you for attempting to fix hitting. I'm serious, its good to see that you guys acknowledge that there is an issue. However, this patch improved nothing. The good/okays are still there and it doesn't seem like the rate at which they occur has changed. Until that is fixed, hitting will not be good. I think this patch may have made things worse to be honest. With increased timing windows and PCI sizes, pitching is [censored] near impossible. I saw more lunging swings result in foul tips today than I have in the past week before the patch. And when you can't locate pitches despite good user input, you have pitchers getting rocked all over the place.
There are 2 things that need to happen next. Number 1, reduce the amount of good/okays on good PCI placement, and number 2, make user input matter when pitching. I think PCI size should also go back to where it was before. That was never the issue. Again, thank you for trying SDS, but we are still a long way off
Edit: I forgot one thing. Exit velocities should never be slower than the speed at which the pitch was thrown on perfect/perfect or good/squared swings. I hit a perfect liner with Victorino yesterday that had an exit velo of 93 mph when the pitch was 98 mph. That's just physically impossible. I know Victorino doesn't have a ton of power, but if its squared up perfectly its not going to lose velocity

Fun but simulation fun, if you're hitting all the time easily it's not fun... Pitching hitting should be a chess match, not some easy hit wiffle ball experience...

That's unfortunate ... How is it playing offline vs the CPU on HOF ?
