    It's been clean every on-line game so far and nothing floats into the strike zone (unless it's just a coincidence). But they really broke something in the hitting this past weekend. All I seem to get is "Good/Good". I'm guessing that's the penalty for using Directional Hitting? Either way, pitching seems to be much better. Anyone else see a difference?

    yeah directional hitting definitely isn’t the way to go if u want to achieve the most consistent results possible. I haven’t really noticed a difference in the pitching, but I’m a hilariously awful pitcher, so my opinion on it isn’t relevant lol.

    Well, my record speaks for itself. If I go on Zone, I have to hide the PCI. It's distracting and I watch the PCI instead of the ball. But in regards to pitching, I always had the problem where you throw it as low as you can to catch the corners, but it always floated straight to the sweet spot. Now I throw the ball in the dirt and it goes in the dirt.

    Hmmm...maybe my internet connection improved then I guess, but I always hit 300+ mbps download 12 upload. I dunno, I've never seen good timing on swings and misses and now it's all I see.

    In their defense, if you don’t wear a tin foil hat to bed the government can download you’re thoughts! I thought everyone knew that......

    Pitching has def not been fixed, and hitting hasn't been changed.

    If you use directional you are quite literally in the hands of RNG, sometimes it'll be good, sometimes it'll be bad, but they haven't changed anything, you're obviously going through a bad RNG spell.

    Nah, the hats distract the signal they are using to steal your thoughts. My tin foil hat has been in the shop, but should get it back this weekend. 😆

    I mean, that's the way it should be though, there is a disadvantage to using directional, that's the risk you take using it, directional shouldn't be able to overcome effective pitching.

    Nah, sadly it’s the same as always. I’m really, really interested to see the big reveals for ‘21 in terms of changes to pitching and generating more swings and misses. If there are none and it’s all about how rewarding hitting is going to be compared to previous versions (Like this years streams were), I’ll probably cry.

    Same, I don't think it would be an issue if hitting did get more rewarding, but if it got more rewarding and pitching stayed the same, that's a nightmare waiting to happen

    When I go onto Zone, I can move the PCI all I want and it never moves from the center of the plate unless I go early or late. I can go to Zone and PCI against the CPU on Legend and I'll have no issues. It's the on-line that is killing me. It's quite embarrassing losing to silver and bronze teams with low level diamond hitters, but it is what it is, some people are just better. I just don't get it. I've gone into practice mode on Zone and have no problem, the second I play online it's no holds barred and I get my [censored] handed to me. I've never seen Good/Good before (like literally never until this past weekend) and it's all I get the past few days. I dunno. I give up at this point. The only way I can stay consistent on-line is to go on directional and pick up the timing as the game goes on and hope for the best. If you're looking for an easy win I'm on right now looking to get ca-ca kicked out of me...lol

    LOL you're joking about pitching right?

    They haven't fixed anything about pitching for at least a year as "forced pitches over the middle of the plate" was a problem even last year in MLB19.
