Anyone else trying to make WS?
-
I have played the show since 15. I have mostly been an offline player until this year. I decided to try my hand at online. Found out I’m not good lol. I just above .500. I am a game away from CS for the first time.
I feel the struggle. -

@MathMan5072 I keep bouncing around the 600s and low 700s. Feeling like I need to hit better to go further. I have noticed I take less pitches than my opponents. Think I will try to be more patient and see if that helps me score more consistently. I've been having a lot of fun. If you dont have Joe Morgan, I'd recommend trying him out. Hes a force. I've been blown away by his exit velocities
After every loss I always tell myself I’m going to be more patient. I forget that it’s okay to take a strike when it’s not the pitch you’re looking for. After a loss today I messaged the other guy and said I wish I could take pitches like he does.

I’m in wild card and am definitely seeing the ball better. But, the competition is starting to get a little better. I’m hoping to be solidly in ds by the end of the weekend.
I’m sitting at 795 right now. Played one game today, was lucky to run into a guy that wasn’t very good and pulled out the win. Couldn’t hit anything so stopped after the one game. The grind through the 800s is going to be super tough. I don’t have high hopes.
Better to be at 795 than 695. Good luck. One game at a time. Give some hope to me and these other guys.

The game is impossible when your pitcher decides to hang BP no matter your input. Such BS.
You better hit or you are done. The end.

Got up to 774 today, then just dumped the bed, currently iam just losing, down to 683. I sure suck at hitting and when a i make a mistake pitchung it gets pummeled. Back to the drawing board

I'm the same way. I feel like I need to prove to somebody that I can cover the whole strike zone. So I try and end up making weak contact or missing a bunch of pitches and bumping up the pitchers confidence lol. I may try cbrev's method of picking three guys who dont swing until 1 strike, 3 guys who swing after strike 2, and 3 guys who go up hacking

That’s a cool idea. I might try that the next time I lose a game and the other guy has only thrown 60 pitches.

I haven’t played ranked in a few days truthfully. I’m at like 650ish. I put an order in for mays last Saturday anyway and will get him hopefully sometime next week regardless. Still going to try to make that push though

Sup man. Since this new event came out I’ve solely been playing that. I won 8 games out of like 20. Just to give you an example I just lost a 10 inning event game and his last 5 pitchers were all commons or bronze and I couldn’t hit [censored]. Swear my ball hit a force field after it jumped off the bat. Smoking a bowl now and contemplating how I can burn virtual cards while I play some apex
-
I went 2-4 today and am back in pr. It is hard to pitch in wc. Too many good hitters on all star. See how it goes tomorrow.
-
I’m just over 700 but like the guy above, have been focusing on the event. Actually been hitting well lately but after playing so much AS on this event, I expect I will struggle at HOF For awhile again in ranked
-
honestly I've given up on Mays. I'm back into the 500's after facing goon after goon. Last game I played a guy in the 500's, he beat me 15-13 in the 12th... knocked me down 45 points or something into the 500's.

It's been hard to get motivated to really push for WS this year. The gameplay just gets too frustrating to invest 45 minutes to more than an hour in one game, and then have it come down to some random BS or not get rewarded but your opponent does. I made WS once last year, my high this year is 885 and if I'd won that game I would've made it in this year. Last season I got back up to 869 before hitting a losing skid. This season I've already got two disconnect losses, sitting at 660 and probably won't even bother. Playing the event and working on prestiging these Finest cards seems much more appealing.

6 L’s in a row once got to 774

Went 2-1 today, lost first one to a WS banner guy who crushed 3 homers in the first 4 batters. Not sure what he was doing in the mid 700s, I got out of that game. Than won the next two, sitting mid 700s. Don’t see me passing my high of 880 or so this season.

I’ve had a good day. Went 4-1. The 1 was a guy that just hit everything. It was on all star, but I still don’t get how some of these guys can hit everything.

Pretty sure I was one of your wins

Keep the faith. Don’t sell yourself short. I got 1 game in today. Was down 6-1 in the 5th and rallied to win 10-6. I’m up to 823, which is an all time high for me. This is my first time ever trying to really make WS, which I still view as a long shot. Praying for the right matchups to get there lol -

i agree with that.... there are guys fouling balls in the dirt and hitting balls low and out of the zone for homers... I've actually had to quit a few event games recently because I could not get anyone out, literally guy just keeps getting hit after hit, dinger after dinger...

Ha, yes...we had a pretty good game, you hit a couple solo shots off Kopech to get an early lead in that one....love it when I match up with other forum members.
