No. But I keep losing anyway because my opponents cheat.
Lol.. how??
They always throw the ball where I can’t hit it. And hit it where I can’t catch it.

HOF? I'm struggling on AS lol
-
Everyone seems to be using all sinker ball pitchers. The meta kinda sucks. Havent seen a fb thrown in like 7 games

I have a no money spent team and im really struggling in ds and cs games. For the most part im competing but the pitch speeds seem to really be quite significant past all star. Wondering if anyone else is struggling. Ive used every camera view under the sun btw.
I stopped reading after you said you have a no money spent team. What does you spending money or not have to do with your skill tracking the ball?

Yeah, it’s so funny I was just gonna post this and I scrolled down to see if anyone else did. I’ve been playing DD for a long time now and I never struggled in CS but I can’t hit at all. I think it’s a combination of every pitcher throwing 100 mph, basically every single pitcher having a sinker in the game, and I’m older lol. But seriously the sinkers have to be nerfed a tad, it’s getting ridiculous.

I started with Allstar until I got my team decent and I’m playing so much better on HOF since I switched about a week ago. Makes no sense

Well, it has to be way easier hitting on HOF with Chipper, Soriano, Ortiz, Banks and Finley. I imagine that is what he is getting at. Big difference between those players and people that haven't done collections are running out there. Pitching is way better this year too which is also makes hitting tough. You aren't getting near the cookies that were served up last year. You can be very successful if you know how to pitch.
I played 4 HOF games today and 3 quit in the first inning. I only scored on one of those games and didn't even hit in one of them. The one I finished, strangely enough, the only person that hit for me was Solak who hit 2 HR's and basically won the game himself and he is like 46 vision.

I would say that's pretty shady of them have you tried reporting them?

Im new. Wouldn't a high sinker be a good pitch to hit? What is the benefit of throwing it high?

Ok they don’t cheat but the game does not reward user skill as they tried to say. I just lost 1 RS and 2 events ( won one RS in between ) to dudes hitting broken bat hits all over the field. Then the broken bat hot makes your confidence go down ( it shouldn’t ) and it forces a hanger. And for whatever reason these can’t hit nothing dumb dumb always hit that one out. All runs on bs as I’m rocketing balls right at his folks . All he needs is 2-4 chinkers in a row to win..... not baseball not user skill. -

You’re thinking in real baseball. Gotta shut that off in The Show game. The way the game is currently coded, sinkers up and in are practically unhittable.

Depends on the sinker if its a below 93 mph sinker you will most likely be able to time it and get your swing path before it breaks and get a line drive or lift , but a sinker thrown up and in which starts as a strike and cuts in to say a right handed hitter going off the black from strike to ball is a pitchers strength , any sinker in zone 2 is a hitters dream any sinker down and in is a hitters worst nightmare especially if its a velocity hard sinker. Hope that helps

Cause the pitch is deceptive as hell and even if you get good timing it’s usually a swing and miss. Sinker up high in video game is meta

Agreed! Real life and The Show are two very different things! Nobody throws a high sinker IRL.

Yes thank you thats exactly what i was getting at with no money spent.

Yes the sinkers are very annoying, it should be easy to hit if its in strike zone and if u chase it should get weak contact. You cant throw fbs in this game to higher level guys. Ill throw one or two a game and it get smoked immediately. Kinda said that a fb is almost useless.
