    I'd just rather they fix the super sink sinker on outlier sinkers at the top of the zone.

    Over check swings?! No way. The high sinkers is not unhittable - it’s OP but it’s not unhittable. The check swing is game breaking

    Nah, check swings happen. Sinkers sinking at 100 above the zone into the zone do not.

    Check swings do not happen 65 x in 1 game at an 85% success rate.

    Maybe you should pitch in the zone more? I have never seen 65 check swings in a game. However, there is a possibility it could happen in real life no matter how probable it would be. As far as physics, a sinker would not be able to move in such a manner thrown that way.

    You want to talk about ball physics and realism then tell me to “pitch in the zone” it’s a hitters job to earn strikes.

    Oh and sorry it wasnt 65 it was 69 and it happens all the time. This is a completely broken game mechanic.

    If you would've thrown 1/3 of those pitches in the zone it would have been 23 strikeouts.

    not a chance. in the zone results in very early/late foul balls.

    Get some plate discipline instead of relying on check swings to bail you out lol

    No they aren’t this is wishful thinking. They are going a new direction with the game that’s evident. They are separating competitive from other forms of play. They aren’t going to listen to non-competitive minded people to dictate competitive gameplay. That’s what’s ruined the gameplay in the past and they are aware of it.

    Maybe on HoF and Legend, but I can almost guarantee they will make sure All Star if fun for the median player

    Source? Because them asking everyone to fill out surveys says different. So cmon know it all tell us and show proof where they aren't listening to "non-Competitive people." Cmon bigshot tell us!

    Or are you assuming again and spewing more spew like always? Did it ever occur to you that they may want feedback from "non-competitive people" to find out what would get more people interested in it? Or why they are not interested in it to begin with?

    Have you been paying attention? They clearly said in the streams that they want things in competitive mode to be USER CONTROLLED. They stated that the check swings are now user ability and not based on discipline. They also stated that competitive mode is based on “user stick skills”. That’s in all difficulties. Because when they take that away it has an effect on ALL DIFFICULTIES

    So yea. I believe I’m right because I pay attention. Unless they are totally lying the direction they are going with the game is taking competitive ppls opinion and input on competitive modes. And casual ppls input on casual modes. Allstar will not be casual it will be competitive.

    Abandoning that direction because a couple crybabies strike out because they want to swing at every pitch would be silly

    So you are saying they will put discipline BACK in the game and take control away from the user if people strike out? I think those days are over dude. They are trying to take the game to the next level — you can’t do that with a sim.

    You do that with a highly competitive game that represents the user.

    They won’t abandon it because people whine, they WILL adjust it (on all star) as the metrics from the median player dictate.

    They have years of data. If they wanted to do that why not just start that way? Just because ppl strike out? They have the ability to improve by just not swinging. From what they have been saying I don’t think they will go the route of making adjustments to gameplay results based on data unless the data is glaring which would mean something is wrong. Like for example — too many hits are happening on late weak contact — that might make them adjust something. But they know exactly what will happen if they do what they are doing with check swings.

    People WILL strike out more. You don’t need data to know that.

    They likely already made adjustments based on the tech test (just like they did last year after the beta). You are going to be in for a shock if you think gameplay from the tech test is going to be exactly the same as what we see when 21 releases.

    No I don’t think it will Be exactly the same I think some adjustments were justified ... but based on how they spoke about check swings I strongly doubt it’ll be different especially since it was super balanced.

    I never said any of that! I don't play Competitive for reasons you didn't even mention so i don't know where you came up with that from. I said "Did it occur to you that they could ask non -competitive people why they don't play mode." OMG it is written in post up above ffs and then ask me if i'm paying attention? So freakin done with you.

    Source? Because them asking everyone to fill out surveys says different. So cmon know it all tell us and show proof where they aren't listening to "non-Competitive people." Cmon bigshot tell us!

    Or are you assuming again and spewing more spew like always? Did it ever occur to you that they may want feedback from "non-competitive people" to find out what would get more people interested in it? Or why they are not interested in it to begin with?

    Have you been paying attention? They clearly said in the streams that they want things in competitive mode to be USER CONTROLLED. They stated that the check swings are now user ability and not based on discipline. They also stated that competitive mode is based on “user stick skills”. That’s in all difficulties. Because when they take that away it has an effect on ALL DIFFICULTIES

    So yea. I believe I’m right because I pay attention. Unless they are totally lying the direction they are going with the game is taking competitive ppls opinion and input on competitive modes. And casual ppls input on casual modes. Allstar will not be casual it will be competitive.

    Abandoning that direction because a couple crybabies strike out because they want to swing at every pitch would be silly

    So you are saying they will put discipline BACK in the game and take control away from the user if people strike out? I think those days are over dude. They are trying to take the game to the next level — you can’t do that with a sim.

    You do that with a highly competitive game that represents the user.

    I never said any of that! I don't play Competitive for reasons you didn't even mention so i don't know where you came up with that from. I said "Did it occur to you that they could ask non -competitive people why they don't play mode." OMG it is written in post up above ffs and then ask me if i'm paying attention? So freakin done with you.

    I said —- “ They aren’t going to listen to non-competitive minded people to dictate competitive gameplay. That’s what’s ruined the gameplay in the past and they are aware of it.”

    You asked me to give my source.

    My source was SDS — they aren’t going to change competitive mode to suit a few people because it’s “hard” they tried that it fails. This game is a niche product. You literally aren’t paying attention.

    This is where this game is going right now. They are trying to please all groups. They aren’t going to worry about why non-competitive people don’t play competitive modes instead...they are making non-competitive modes for those people and letting competitive be competitive.

    You are saying they are going to change competitive to be less competitive because competitive is too competitive? Do you listen to yourself?

    Logic. Common sense. You don’t have them.

    Pay attention to how sds is marketing themselves right now. Instead of trying to please everyone with one game style they are breaking up the game styles into different places to play. Why after doing that would they change competitive mode to suit people that feel that it’s too hard...the word HARD is what competitive means in a sense. It’s no longer the mode to please the masses it is now the mode to play verse others once you honed your skill of the game.

    Uncalled for. Just state your opinion.

    I’ve been playing the game for over a decade. I know how they operate. Do they change things? Yes. Do they look at data? Yes. Have they ever specifically separated game styles to appease all sorts of players? No. Why after doing that would they change competitive to appease less competitive people? Makes no sense.

    They will change competitive play if the competitive crowd wants it changed most likely.

    They aren’t going to change competitive play because a bunch of franchise players can’t hit online.

    Personally, I'd wait for the first couple patches before thanking any deities for assumptions. 😉

    Agreed, but if we go off the beta(btw showed they fixed it) then I’ll be happy with it. Then again it is SDS and we might get double crossed.

    What makes me slightly suspicious is if they knew they could fix it— and admittedly made it “more generous” as the season went on— meaning they could tune it— why didn’t they tune it down to stop it from happening in 20?

    This is my only suspicion

    You’re catching on...

    I don’t think they « made it » more generous per say, I think it was already OP but once the Diamonds with 100+ discipline started being more prevalent, it got ridiculous.

    Also, let’s not forget, gentlemen, that the check swings were only a part of the problem. The other components were the strikes on the edges being called balls, and the seemingly random pitch outcomes from good input.

    So a new pitching input mechanic has been introduced (pinpoint) and the PAR has been revealed (although it was probably already there).

    Is the game still going to call pitches on the edges balls?

    Check swings were a big problem this past year, but they were only a symptom of a bigger problem.
