The pitching doesn’t seem bad to me. Your not going to hit your spots just bc you have good input. Very few players in real life have pin point accuracy and even they miss frequently. As far as the strike zone goes, it’s going to be even tighter when the computer umps start calling balls and strikes.
Except you are using real life baseball logic and this is a video game where top players can mash anything that isn't a dot on the outside parts of the strike zone. There has to be a better way to locate pitches accurately or else why do we even have pitchers? Let's just make DD a softball game and home run derby each game.
Get rid of zone hitting, been saying it for years.

You shouldn't hang a pitch just because the computer wants you to. User input should be a huge factor in all aspects of the game. If I hit my spots, then yes the ball should go where I put it. However, with a pitcher such as Nolan Ryan it should be drastically harder to hit both spots (faster moving, smaller marks for instance) than it should be for a Greg Maddux. This is how you reward good input. If you can hit both marks with Nolan Ryan, you should benefit from that but you should need to be highly skilled to do that. Hitting and fielding should be the same. Much harder to square up a ball with Gallo as opposed to Gwynn. Really not a hard concept.

Why would they get rid of the only input based hitting mechanic in the game? That’s insane. I’m not playing a game where all the outcomes are completely randomized and all based on if the CPU wants to let me get a hit or not. Bad take.

That’s not realistic though. If it was how you want it then theoretically you could hit your spots every time with any pitcher if your good enough at timing a meter. I want a realistic baseball game, not a meter timing game.

Swing at pitches the player you are controlling is good at hitting.

I’m playing a video game though I want to be in control of where they’re swinging... I don’t just want to mindlessly hit one button when the ball is close to the strike zone and pray to god the cpu decides this is the one that I finally barrel up. Why wouldn’t you want to control where your players are going to swing the bat? You know just like in real baseball, players have to decide where the pitch is going and put the barrel of the bat on the ball. PCI is our barrel.

Because I’m not hitting the ball, the player I am controlling is. The game is representing the mlb players, not you or me.

It still represents the player with their stats on their cards... you are simply controlling where they are swinging. It’s a video game there would be no skill gap or no reason to play this game in a competitive manner you might as well just sim games the way you are explaining this.
