What I have noticed, and you may call this a conspiracy if you like, that it is much easier to paint the corners when playing vs. players with similar or better records than yourself. The worse record your opponent has, the more you are going to be wild and miss your pitches, even on perfect input.

Is just an impossibly frustrating experience sometimes. Some pitchers seems to be particularly difficult. Finest DeGrom has 93 control and I can’t hit the black to save my life. SS Walter Johnson has 94 control and I dot like crazy with him. DeGrom has 10 walks in 39.1 IP, Johnson has 6 in 61. Their command rating is 1 point different and you would think they would pitch similarly.
Hopefully as everyone on here has been complaining, pitching is better in 20. Just more consistent at least.
I think there is an individual “control” attribute for each pitch as well if that makes a difference

That is insane and baseless. You may as well say that you do better when you are wearing your pink panties.

I was always under the assumption that there is a difference between control and BB/9
Also keep in mind each pitch has a stat regarding control. Also keep in mind fatigue overall confidence and pitch confidence impact things
The more I play this game the more I realize how much pitch confidence plays into the results

So you say, but you saying it doesn't make it any less true. You believe what you want and I'll continue believing what I believe. This is another topic where we will never reach an agreement and that's how it'll stay.

Cool, so keep believing the baseless idea that you hit better with pink pantries on.
Btw, I think your WARP (won above replament panties) is highest with the pink ones
Btw you can’t get less true than totally false. So whether I said it or not in maintains that value. So I guess we agree on that
Considering how much you claim to know about this game, and how you claim that pitcher confidence is everything, it is certainly funny that your knowledge does not appear to translate into success in the game. You would think that if your stance about the non-existence of RNG (effectively) or the lack of any type of equalisation was correct, you would be able to - with your know-how and skill-set - dominate the entire landscape of competitive MLB the show.
Mr. 617... or should I call you Mr. WAR is a bad stat... or Mr. Last Word?

Jesus you guys should get married. Seems like every thread turns into this Maverick guy arguing with this SafarR guy.
Anyways, I'm with Maverick on this one. There's no way that the game has some invisible handicapping system whereby your pitchers are more likely to hang pitches and your hitters are more likely to line out, just because you're playing an opponent with an inferior record. That wouldn't even make sense. My guess is that when you know you're up against someone good, you know you need to focus more so you play better. Seems far more likely than there being some hidden handicapping written into the coding somehow.

The interesting thing is, the more you know the more you realise how little you know.
Based off of this I think you must know more than most

Still having trouble hitting the black.

Always, with specific pitchers, with specific pitches or in specific situations?

Just in general. It’s totally hit or miss. I really Hope confidence gets taken out of the game at some point. It doesn’t make you more accurate in real life but it has a huge effect in-game.

I definitely understand that sentiment.
For myself, I would hope that even if pitcher confidence stays in the game that it would only influence how hard it is to get perfect input but not what happens after. Ideally a good/good (or whatever is the available best input) would always land exactly where aimed and the only thing that is influenced by confidence, BB/9 or control is how hard that ideal input is to achieve.
