Honestly, if ur losing to guys that swing at everything, that’s on you not the game. Patient hitters are sm harder to beat
How is it on me if my perfect input change up in the dirt hangs right across the middle? Or how is it on me when my opponent hits a ball a foot out of the strike zone with a forty degree launch angle over the fence for a a home run? That’s not on me, that’s on the physics engine.
Hitting is way overpowered in certain parks. Mitch, you’re a good hitter. Admitting that hitting and Shippett is op doesn’t take away from your skill. There’s definitely an issue. Otherwise we wouldn’t see so many top players with extremely high ERAs and double digit home run games. It’s not all “on me”
Obv it’s not all on you, bs happens, but if ur unable to overcome it and beat someone that swings at everything, imagine facing a patient hitter that literally doesn’t chase anything.
mitch is exactly right here....

I disagree. Not all of us can put up 18 runs a game to overcome it and have to rely on pitching. Pitching is (supposed to be) half the game. When you take pitching out of the equation, as Shippett does, we have virtually no chance. Maybe it’s “on Me” that I’m not that good of a hitter, but it’s more on the stadium.

@MarinerMatt01 said in I finally figured out to succeed in this game:
Home hunt until you play at Shippett
Swing at anything
Wait for the RNG to bail you out with a hanger
Let the stadium carry a routine fly ball out of the park
Repeat for nine innings.
Don’t worry about pitching or knowing anything about baseball strategy, or even about being good. just make contact and the game and stadium will take care of the rest. That is the meta this year.
Literally got beat this way by a guy with a WS banner last night. Except he attempted to bunt single with mantle a couple of times.
As someone who bunts their fair amount, I don’t know why anyone would bunt or play small ball in that park, especially with Mantle. Guess it proves the point about baseball strategy.
First pitch of the game? Mantle in lead off? Just exploitation IMHO

That whole park is an exploit. It’s the directional hitting of stadiums.

Shippett is def a hitters park. Probably the best hitter’s park in the game- right there with laughing mountain id say, except with a much better batter’s eye. All I’m saying is that hitters that swing at everything are not good and are easy to get out, even for me, a notoriously bad pitcher. So if ur losing to those guys, it’s more on you than on the game imo. Easy to blame the game tho for poor performance I get that.

Easy to not think there is an issue with the game when your performance is being aided by a glitchy stadium and you are succeeding in the current environment. I get that. With all due respect, you can beat those guys because you can out hit and win 18-17. I have a career ERA of 3.50 even with how hitting friendly the game has become. I have to rely on pitching. When an opponent swing at everything, strikes out 20 times, but wins because he hits 8 solo homeruns, 6 of those on pitches way out of the strike zone or RNG hangers because of the thin air and short fences at Shippett, I think I can blame the game. In almost any other park, this isn’t really much of a factor because the luck factor might give my opponent one or two runs a game, but in Shippett it is a hell of a lot more. When a stadium allows double digit home runs on a regular basis, I think I can blame the game. Not all of us can survive with an 8.00 plus ERA
Remember how frustrated you were with the hitting in the past few years? How your squared up perfect perfects weren’t rewarded? How you just lined out how hit an pit to the track on a meatball down the middle. Well this year, a pitch in the dirt gets dug out for a bomb or a perfect input change magically hangs for a bomb. Pitching input needs to matter too, and this year it’s out turn to complain, especially in that stadium. I think we can blame the game to some extent.

That said, I’m 40 next year and maybe it’s more a sign that I’m just outgrowing gaming.
You take that back! I'll be 57 next year, and I will buy MLB again. And again. I'll never outgrow it. I've been playing games since Space Invaders. Back in my day, you had to go to a bowling alley and pay a quarter to play a game. Come to think of it, I stunk at that too.

You've uncovered my entire strategy... now I'll have to learn how to hit for real.

@The_Canuckler said in I finally figured out to succeed in this game:
Oh.. this again.. crazy how majority of players batting averages, slugging percentages and OPS's have gone up from this year compared to last yet this game rewards people less than every other game that's ever existed...
On the pitching side it stinks. Hitting is far too rewarding, particularly on early swings and often on badly timed or placed swings as well. My main issue with the game this year is that it’s wildly unbalanced in favour of offense at the expense of all else and I hate playing what amounts to an arcade slugfest home run derby baseball game, when I expect something more akin to a simulation of the sport. I totally understand that some players find hitting home runs to be the most exciting part of the game and find pitching boring, I can even accept that, however, I don’t like it at all. All I really want is a good balance and this year has failed to provide that.

You’re a .500 player hitting .241 maybe you should play at Shippett more so you can actually hit

my ERA in RS this year is 2.18
over 100 games
pitching is absolutely fine so don't just think your opinion is de facto because there are plenty who will disagree with you all day on this
i as well never brought up shippett - that is a garbage stadium like all minor league stadiums - get a ps4 pro or ps5 and for those who complain about lag issues in the stadium - understand what RAM is

Respectfully, who are you pitching 2.18 ERA to? lower rank dudes swinging at everything? I haven't played a game under 700 in like 9 months but I can guarantee you if I start at 400 I'm carrying a 0.90 for like the first 10 games. If you're facing anyone actually decent on Legend you'll notice how insane the inputs are. No disrespect tho.

i absolutely agree with you too by the way - i am usually finishing off in the 600 or 700's as i don't play much - i am "that guy" who starts at 450 but really should just stick in the CS level or at least HOF - the higher up the more you guys belt it out - i appreciate that - that being said, i am raking with cards in events which is on AS mode and still achieving tons of sub 2 or sub 1 ERA cards - very impressive pitching stats against gold GOAT bat skin dudes, BR flawless banners you name it - i play only RS and events this past year just not a ton of time to allocate

Pitching is not absolutely fine, and there are plenty of people who will disagree with you all day on this.
I play on a PS5 and I understand what ram is. Major league stadiums are laggy because of all the background assets that have to be animated. Most minor league parks, imo, play fine. My major issue with this game is Shippett, a stadium that throws the game way out of balance. It has a high elevation, close fences and a warm climate, which cause incredibly high scores, throwing all other aspects of the game out the window. In other parks, you can overcome the luck factor, as a fluke hr will happen once or twice a game. On Shippett, it is seven or eight times. All you have to do is just make contact and the ball goes out. It’s the reason
so many top players have ERAs in the 8s and 8s. It’s also why everyone plays there. People like hitting more and you don’t have to worry about pitching, just hit more home runs than the other guy. If it wasn’t such an OP stadium, we wouldn’t see so many people play there.I am older, I don’t have the twitch reflexes anymore and am not a good hitter. I have to rely on pitching to get by. When I have to play nearly half of my games at Shippett and pitching is thrown out the window, I am at a huge disadvantage. Add that to the fact that people can just back out of a game of they are not the home team, a lot of times I am forced to be a visitor, and play at this stadium of I want to play a game. It leads to a very frustrating gameplay experience that I and a lot of people share.
Even if you like Shippett, and/or play their, you have to admit it has led to issues that have to thrown the game balance way off. Those types of scores and hitting results simply aren’t realistic, and for those of us that like to pitch, ruins the game.

Yeah I gotta side on the pitching sucks side. Pitching needs to be a carbon copy of what we had in MLB17, it was perfect back then.
