I’m never going to be good at this game

Honestly, if you have fun playing who cares if you're good? Yes we all want to be top players etc. but at the end of the day it is still a video game meant for entertainment, I sometimes lose sight of that.
This is so true. My only issue is if I'm not good, I wish the game would match me better with players of similar skill in RS so there would be more fun, good games. It's really the only mode to play where I can use my DD team in a real 9 inning game against another live person, yet I'm getting matched up a lot with folks who are hitting .350 with their entire lineup. I don't mind losing at all, but seems like every game lately it's not even a good match, and if it seems like it is, people just start trying to annoy you all game or bunt with everybody or steal when they realize I can't throw to 2nd anymore; and I'm starting to quit much more often just looking for a fun game. Played a lot this year and love this game, but losing interest.

I feel the same way. Im an avid fan of the game, I play everyday, but I just suck as a hitter. I've tried everything, some days I feel,like I have it, other days it's a total mess. Im not going to lie, this game is hard for me, but I keep pressing on because I like the challenge. I know I'll never be a World Series player and that's ok, I just keep grinding and do the best I can as frustrating as it can be.

Anyone who puts the work in will achieve WS it's that simple.

But continually playing games with 30 strikeouts and 1 combined run isn't a lot of fun. I know I'm a terrible hitter but I also know that I'm not that good of a pitcher. I'm not trying to achieve anything but a fun game and that just doesn't happen this year.
There needs to be more balance. -
I think I'm pretty good at the game, but that's because I'm 30 and have been playing baseball games since I was like 7 years old. Takes a lot of practice.

One of the things that changed gameplay For me was getting a KontrolFreek. I have a couple different ones and rotate between them depending on my reactions that day. They help me move the pci quicker so I can focus more on timing. Also best piece of advice is what @NotSure_2505_ said. Turn your sliders all the way up and practice on legend. Do this right before you go to play a game and you’ll see your reaction times improve

I’m not a WS player or anything (I think my record is like 44 - 20), but the light switch moment for me was learning plate discipline. Not just taking balls, but being willing to take some bad strikes. My approach at the plate changed from “try to hit the ball” to “wait for a pitch I like/am expecting and smash it”
It can be really frustrating, but showdowns helped a lot with that. The ONLY way to win those is to be patient at the plate...it’s a good was to do some BP while earning XP, stubs, and TA progress. I recommend it.

I’m 62-62, i lose as much as win. I’m the definition of average. But I made my pci red made it a little transparent turned off the putter ring and when the pitch is combining my inner ring is turned off. I don’t pay attention to the pci, I pay attention to the ball. I mean you learn keep your eye on the ball from coach pitch little league. I don’t understand the monitor stuff because I have a monitor and still rather play on my Big screen tv. Also if you do batting practice on legend difficulty like I did it for like 14 hours one day, when I played someone I got raged quit 3 games straight.. maybe I’m in a position to give advise? Maybe not?

Not true. I put in work. I’m almost 40 games over .500. I think I’m like 98-60? Something like that. I’ve never made WS unfortunately.

This year has been rough for me... My last two games were against ppl with WS banners... I'm currently in the 600's.. first one i sneaked out a win.. last one.. winning 6-2 in the ninth, I was sweating cuz the dude can hit.. he came back and tied it against Dibble... lost it in extras... can't complain, it was a good game.. keep at it.. be patient.. that's my problem.. take pitches...

Yes, you keep playing and you keep practicing. Nobody became a good hitter overnight, it literally takes hundreds of hours to get consistently good at this game.
