I lost because of check swings! Get rid of it! LoL. Did you know you can check swing too and that check swings are part of baseball?

They did say check swings would be solely user input based in 21 and not go by discipline rating at all. With that said, they always adjust this type of stuff after launch. As far as it being user input, you're totally right and anyone can check swing. IRL though, you aren't going to check swing at multiple pitches in an at bat without getting called on it by the umpire at home without an appeal, much less the first base ump.

They will do like they always do and watch the metrics. If strikeouts are too high for the average player, they will change stuff. People need to keep in mind that SDs is a business and will do what is necessary to keep the majority of their customers happy.
If you really want a purely skill based competition, go play actual baseball. this is a video game and a consumer product first, a competitive game second.
Someone here understands business
Sure, they could tailor the game to fit the 5-10% of players that think this game is more important than their wife sitting in the other room watching her life slowly slip away, questioning her life decisions.
But, those of us with money, focus on other things. Thus, the game will tailor to the majority.
Sorry basement dwellers

People who don’t want check swings do not possess the skill to check swing. Isn’t check swinging user input? Thought that’s what you guys wanted. Or just the input you are good at? This is just another way people want the game in their favor.
Don't use common sense on the forums you will get labled as a horrible poster. It interferes with dope smokin they don't want to have to think.

1700!!!!!!! I'm not even close to that. I was locked up for just over 500. do some math. 1700÷365= 4.6 games per day. 45 minutes a game roughly
. that's almost 3.5 hours per day on the game. if you take a day off that's 7 hours the next day. I dont care what disease is floating around 1700 is for basement dwellers. -

It’s not that we don’t want check swings, it’s the fact that half of the people you play do it on every pitch that is close. If they want to that’s fine but they should actually go to far more than the game is calling. No one irl does that, and if they did the ump would side with the pitchers more times than not bc the batter is obviously getting fooled enough to check swing so often. Besides they aren’t getting rid of it as much as they are making it harder to do consistently

The checkswing bandits want to extend at bats exploiting a broken mechanic. It’s very frustrating striking people out 3 times per AB in 0-2 counts just to fall into a 3-2 and then have to throw a meatball or walk the person with the 4th checkswing of the AB

Uh.. they already said check swings have been based on the discipline rating not user input..

When have you ever seen a team check swing 30 times in a game and have roughly 25 of those go in their favor?

Is there any difference in the ability to check swing successfully with regular versus contact swing? I generally go to the contact swing with 2 strikes.

It wasn’t balanced correctly. Check swings are still in the game and work now. What 20 had was giving players the ability to get a ball called no matter what allowing them to “cheat” on a fastball every at bat and never have to have the ability to recognize off speed.
The check swing in 20 was not pro user input whatsoever. It was based on a discipline rating and was completely broken. They removed the discipline rating in order to MAKE IT based on user input. So now when you check swing... you did it.

So now you want realism and not user input? You guys need to make up your minds.

Again, now you want realism? That is what I have been asking for, but you guys want user input only. It just the user input you are good at, perhaps?

I notice in MLB The Show 20, that when I am out in front on off-speed pitches in the strike zone, I end up check swinging but with a called strike (obviously). This seems a symptom of the problem. I still think the players 'discipline' rating should play a role in ability to check swing successfully or else what value does that parameter contribute?

I saw that show at Rich Stadium in Buffalo. Van Halen (Sammy - boo!), Metallica, Scorpions I think? We were on the field 20 rows back, had a blast. The day before the show I was accosted by a car full of locals for having long hair. Somehow I talked my way out of getting beaten up or shot. Next trip to USA was to Detroit, somehow we didn't get beaten up or shot for having long hair...
