This is how they "secretly" nerf a card with insane hitting stats. This stuff matters more than you think. Shame, card looked fantastic on paper.
-
How much does it matter though, do we have any quantifiable proof that it does?
I'm not doubting you, I just have never heard of that having an effect on the game

Well it's a good question because I don't have the definitive answer either. SDS doesn't really tell us important stuff like this, so I can only share my experiences. Which are that it does matter and you make less good contact for swinging at a pitch in a cold zone.

I vaguely remember in a previous edition they mentioned a +5/-5% boost for a hot/cold Zone, not sure. if it still applies

I'm still giving him a chance and see how it goes.
First game with Seager and Arozerana was a little weird.
Seager was 0-1 with 3 walks and an RBI
Arozerana was 2-3 with a walk and 3 RBI, both singles though.I've always liked Arozerana since I followed his movement in the Cardinals minor league system, so I hope he does hit well

I thought it was offline only.

Is it? Still weird though isn't it, that they give the hottest player in the postseason a card with cold zones only. While giving him attributes that say the contrary. Very confusing.
-
They have a very minimal affect on the RNG side of things. I don't think there is a good rhyme or reason to them either.
-
I mean, he is bashing the CPU on rookie for me in this conquest map. That is the truest test for a card.
-
I don't think there's any way that has any affect in game.
-
So you’re saying that a card with max stats that you haven’t used yet is bad because of is hot/cold zone? Pointless thread if you have no proofs...

I was surprised when I tested him out in a conquest game, and the entire zone came up blue...

I think I read that those hot/cold zones only have an effect on the CPU’s hitting. But it’s pretty likely that that was just baseless speculation. SDS is not good at telling us how their game works, so it’s probably just anybody’s guess if they mean anything.

No, You’re right...Those are just for vs cpu games. If they aren’t then who do we all bat .300 with our pitchers?

I have absolutely no clue what this series of sentences is supposed to mean.

Sorry, Typos....You are correct. The hot/cold zones are only in effect in offline games vs the cpu. This can be seen clear as day by watching how we can all bat very well with pitchers in h2h games.

I don’t use them online and I rarely play vs cpu. The fact that they’re displayed in H2H play makes me wonder though. Anyone from SDS have a firm answer? @Victor_SDS

Gotcha. I can’t hit with my pitchers (or my position players, for that matter) in h2h (....... or in offline...... I suck).

Do hot/cold zones have any effect on online games?

I have always heard those meant absolutely nothing in online play. That was more so to show the hitters tendencies in real life. I dont even know if those zones matter vs CPU.
But to your point, I have no idea why one card can absolutely rip with so so hitting atts then another with insane atts it is like hitting a role of wet TP. It is more than the swing that is for sure. Just not sure what.
