Check swings

In my last two games my opponents have combined for 48 checkswings, and 44 of them being balls. Some of these are completely ridiculous on how they aren’t strikes. So SDS let’s fix this where guys with 125 discipline can barely get a check swing but guys with low discipline can just check away. By the way a 91% percent check swing rate is astronomic
How do I check those stats?

I'm glad you made a post about it. I've mentioned this before. I had a guy check swing almost 40 times in a game. I think he got all but 4-5 calls. This has ruined higher ranked games for me. Top players know how to check swing because they play/practice it 4+ hrs per day.
I do not experience this. I check swing a lot and I’d say 1/3 get called for strikes if not more.
Same here... And when it comes to an opponent, some are just better at checking than others. Played plenty who couldn't check a swing if their life depended on it and plenty who were really good at it. It is what it is.

Dude this is so false. I won't even use myself as an example, but go watch McGunski or Rebel and even they complain about the fact that one game they get every call going their way and the next game everything is against them. I could've used any top player in this example, literally everyone is saying the same thing. There is zero correlation between check swings and skill. It is what it is.

Go into batter analysis after the game. Put yours and your opponents stats to all batters. Then go to the bottom and scroll through the stats

Hey man, let's just agree to disagree on this. And with all due respect, I couldn't give a F*** what McGunski, Rebel or any other one of those guys has to say. I don't watch them, don't care for them, and don't base my experience off of what anyone else says.

Fair enough. It's not just them though, like I said before. Your opinion is in the very large minority, which I assume is because the faulty mechanic often works in your favor. But yeah let's agree to disagree, that's probably best.

They're not my superhero streamers, I just refer to them because A) most people know who they are and B) they play this game 24/7 and have been for years, so their experiences surely carry a bit more weight than some random Joe on this forum. It's all good though, I'm not looking for any beef with you. Your opinion is yours and my opinion is mine, you can read back this thread to get a general idea of how check swings are perceived.

There has been several threads created about the issue this year. Even SDS has mentioned the issue on here months ago. They mentioned it was being worked on for next years game. In this thread alone, there has only been 2-3 people who disagree on the topic so far? That would be the minority...
-
I can actually get on board for eliminating it this year and bringing it back next year if fixed. I've been bailed out as many times as I've been screwed but the inconsistency is ridiculous. I've seen swings where my bat is a good foot past the plate called a non swing and ones where the bat didn't even leave my shoulder called a swing. I just want some consistency.
