    IMO Perfect release by pitcher equals he went anything else then the current system kicks in.

    Honestly there’s nothing here but a picture of a swing. I’m not saying you’re lying I’m just saying that you can’t call that pic proof. There is nothing to suggest that it’s the check swing in question. With that being said there are a few things to keep in mind. The engine chooses to check swing you based directly on input. The longer the button is depressed the further your swing travels through the zone. This happens in fractions of a second. If you’re a power swinging, all or nothing hitter it’s nearly impossible to check your swing successfully because that swing type requires a much longer input time then say a normal or contact swing. Naturally you’re going to strikeout much more often using that input than the contact or normal swing inputs. It could have also been a glitch which we all know happens far to often in this game right now due to the fact that the developers aren’t able to work like they have in past years due to the unique nature of what is going on right now. Just a few things to think about when being critical about the game. If we were in a normal environment this stuff probably would be fixed much faster.

    Why would I make this up?

    Also, the issue remains the same; inconsistency. We have no need for it.

    Why would you make it up? Because you spend every waking moment trying to find a reason to bash the game. You will find what you are looking for, and here you are looking for reasons to complain.

    Like, stop playing man. It's clearly hurting your mental health, and possibly your physical health as well. If something upsets you this much day in and day out, why keep putting that poison in your body?

    I'm serious when I say this, find something that makes you happy.

    Remove check swings

    F- that. So we just get rid of everything that SDS broke or can’t manage to execute successfully? It’s going to be a strange baseball game when we remove hitting, fielding and pitching then, because it’s all messed up lol. Make them get things right would be my solution.

    It's a pointless and ultimately unimportant aspect to the game. Either you swing, or you dont. Simple that.

    Tell that to the real life players. Check swings have always been part of the game.

    I’m not saying you’re making anything up, I’m pointing out that what you provided is not proof of anything. It just shows an overhead view of a batter who has swung. That is not proof as there is no context in that picture. If you had the video that might provide the needed context to prove your point. Just saying

    The topic is about the check swing being called a no swing, but you said the batter swung? LOL. I'm not sure where your getting at, since you agreed he swung and should have been called a strike.

    If it is your opponent then you are probably seeing something totally different then what they did. They may have barely flinched. We all know this by now. It is because of the connection difference that this stuff happens. Like when you see a fielder have a ball roll past them so you continue to the next base, but in reality they picked it right on up and are throwing it back in but you dont see it until too late.

    @theu715 said in Proof of broken check swing mechanics:

    Another funny aspect to the IRL we have check swings crowd. If you watch a real game and a batter does check swing 3 or 4 times in an at bat, the home plate umpire is almost always going to call them out on strikes and not even ask for a check from 1b/3b.

    Also, from a pitching standpoint, just call pitches on the black strikes, period. If pitches on the black were called strikes and more or all check swings were called strikes, I guarantee we'd see more strikeouts in the game and more weak contact. Currently, it's too easy for people to just sit on the hanging pitches and drive them out of the park. I think it's one reason why we see more runs scored on HR and less of a willingness to play small ball or manufacture runs.

    💯 % agree. While the check swings are a problem, the real root of that problem is the strikes on the edges not being called. These two things together cause so many at bats to be extended when a batter should already have been out.

    The other aspect to this is, while an ump irl may not call a close strike, very seldom will a player get a pass for looking at two or three borderline pitches in a row.

    Sooner or later, a good ump will ring you up if you’re pushing your luck.

    Somewhat related to check swings, but has anyone else noticed that on perfect pitch releases there are an abnormally high number of swing and misses, compared to a just early/just late pitch release that might actually be placed in a better spot (relative to the situation)?

    I agree with this.

    It's actually not as simple as that. You may begin to swing only to realize that the pitch will actually fall outside of the zone, and so you take your finger off the button in an attempt to take the pitch. You may succeed, you may not. But players users should have the option to do so. If you don't like check swinging then don't check swing. There is no need for you to impose your preference on everyone else.

    Most higher rated players with more experience playing online and have disciplined players are good at check swinging... I don't see an issue here. There are just as many players online that couldn't check swing to save their life.

    Lol this is 100% false. I know plenty of top players who complain about this issue and they get rung up all the time as well. Come back when you actually know what you're talking about.

    Edit: "more experience playing online". I'm not exactly a scrub myself lol.

    Why shouldn't they take it out if it's not working right? This isn't an argument, check swings occur to often and are successful at an abnormally high rate.

    You know balks are a rule right? Every time a pitch is thrown from the stretch when you don't come set it's technically a balk. They couldn't figure out how to program it in the game online without it crashing. If you can't do it right, why do it at all?

    Yes, it does happen too much and too successful. So, if I quickly/barely tap X when I'm fooled, should it be a swing every time? That would result in way too many strikeouts and then you would really hear people complain.

    Instead of arguing semantics, I think the point is that players can be completely fooled by a pitch and still prolong an at bat. Add this to the many auto-take until two strikes players plus challenging pitcher control and non-calls, and you have advantage hitter.

    Maybe this is intentional because of the randomized hitting outcomes, but it still allows players who are poor hitters to stay in an at bat longer.
