That's all we ask? Who's we? I feel like you're standing alone on this one. If we had a vote on the ability to fix one thing, I don't believe the majority would choose hitting as you described.
Although getting good timing/good pci go for outs may be frustrating and a valid issue amongst some, I feel like pitch accuracy and check-swinging issues would be in the forefront of gameplay issues. At least that's what seems to be the consensus based on previous posts in this community forum.
Yep.
Pitch accuracy. Basically every game is a slugfest because of how many hangers the game forces. This shouldn't be.
I dont know what happened, but the pitching is 19 wasn't like this.
Good players already score a ton of runs, but aren't able to keep below a 4 era? Pitching is broken - especially offspeed and breaking pitches forcing a meta that involves the sinker and cutter focus. Top that off with often needing velocity to make your pitcher usable.
Movement and guys with incredible breaking stuff should be usable and competitive. Curveball should actually be useful. Pitchers with nasty breaking stuff should have insane h9s or something to reflect how hard it is to square up their stuff.
That makes things arguably even worse pitching wise.

Hitting cannot be made more rewarding until the pitching issues are dealt with, I'm not looking to play 20-15 games every time because all your good PCI placements on my floaters down the middle leave the park

every game I’ve been playing lately has been exactly as you’ve described. Slugfests with football scores against guys who swing at everything. I put them In the dirt, the ai hangs it for me. I put it away, the pitch doesn’t break. No one walks, it’s just time up, mash the buttons, home run derby. Pitching definitely needs an improvement in 21.

I played a game today, 17 home runs total, it was at laughing mountain and back and forth for awhile, Even with that, it wasn't fun, I don't find that type of gameplay fun. It was the last straw, I'm not going to be away for awhile, I cannot play at Shippett or Laughing Mountain and stay sane.
Here is the box score, it's not even an exaggeration. https://theshownation.com/mlb20/games/132641889?username=eatyum
I am 1-5 on the new season with an ERA above 11
My lifetime ranked ERA is under 4, Idk what's going on, but it really sucks the fun out of the game

Exactly my thoughts. I usually have an era In the low 3s and can make cs almost every season. This season I am 9-12 with and era over 5. Seems everyone can hit everything, and if you try to spike one in the dirt, the ai will just hang it for them. I’m someone who prides myself on my pitching so I definitely do not find these swingfests enjoyable.
It’s funny, a couple of months ago, I was complaining about the opposite. Seemed every game I was playing was a 2-1, low hit game. I guess be careful what you ask for because it seems hitting was turned way up. I don’t know what happened, I doubt there was any major change this late In the game cycle, but I’m scratching my head wondering what happened to pitching

I’ve been on this soapbox all year, hopefully now SDS can see that people don’t like the direction they’ve taken with gameplay and want an actual baseball game, not just a bad hitting simulation that arbitrarily awards home runs on bad swings just to keep the game exciting for players who don’t really understand actual baseball or bat and ball physics.
If I had to sum up MLB ‘20 in a single word, that word would be “stupid”. The content has been stupid, with too many stupid made up cards with 125 everything, the gameplay is stupid, with endless home runs and unforced errors just to generate action and most of all, I’m stupid, for continuing to play and support the franchise when they only make a decent game once every 3-4 years.

ing real its hard to take you that serious with all the em
I guess that that is how I can show if I am smiling. I feel that it is hard to show if you are joking or not when you are not actually talking to someone. I probably put the
too much, just because I don't want someone to think that I am mad. Thank you for letting me know, I will try and tone it down. lol -
They just need to balance it better. Right now it is not as rewarding as a hitter. Early in the year it was too rewarding. I took a break inbetween. But whatever it is some people will always complain.
