PinPoint Pitching should be patched in my opinion
-
Players 2020 - "Make input matter more. Pitching is too random."
Players 2021 - "Input matters too much. Pitching is not random enough." -
I lost a game where the guy did nothing except for 2 cutters and a splitter that I missed and went dead center, 3 dingers; and according to swing feedback (IF they were accurate) all three middle PCI swings. So I’ve missed in the middle. Don’t tweak anything
-
It definitely matters how much control a pitcher has with whatever pitch you are throwing. I love pinpoint though i think it’s the best pitching input in a baseball game in a long time. I disagree, while I do get perfect pitches quite often when I do miss with pinpoint especially missing with off speed pitches they end up center of the plate more often than not or hanging and then it’s just up to the other person to execute on those mistakes.

Also, history says the minute any game play patch is deployed, it never ends well and only messes things up. Servers suck but game play has been pretty solid minus a few bugs not related to hitting or pitching IMO.

after the fiasco of pitching last year, I don't understand why anyone would want less accurate pitching this year.

Input should matter and there should be a skill gap. There’s no skill gap if you can get perfect pitches with 78% accuracy

No one wants less accurate pitches. I think it’s pretty clear that what I said is that it should be more difficult to get “perfect” input.

100% what Dolenz said.

So we’re just throwing away all reading comprehension skills or what?
How is making it more difficult to obtain a perfect rating making input matter less?
Doesn’t it make input matter more? It requires more skill to get a perfect rating. Please enlighten me, how having a low threshold of 78% makes input matter more?
I don’t know why I expected a legitimate conversation on whether people thought pinpoint was too easy/forgiving or too difficult.
I should have known people would read only the title and proceed forward with baseless comments. My bad on expecting more.

I disagree. I'm learning it currently and when I get a perfect input, its pretty on point, but I have noticed when I miss I am getting some pretty bad balls. That being said, its the opposite of 20 where if you missed input you hung it for a straight cockshot. Pinpoint when I miss they're going out of the zone more often than not.
Maybe that’s the issue? I played about 12 RS games yesterday and I didn’t throw a single pitch down the middle the entire day
I think I get “perfect” releases about 80-85% of the time and the rare times I mess up it safely goes out of the strike zone for a ball.
I can also tell when my opponent is using pinpoint as they throw every pitch on the black or just outside of the strike zone as well. (Asked what setting they used to confirm)
Why would we want 2020 gameplay back? If anything, hitting should be nerfed. How many people have complained about homers outside the PCI or those very late swings finding the hole. Pitching this year has been great. Hitting still has its minor flaws with the forgiveness.

The only issue I see with pinpoint is if people start using modded controllers to cheat.
-
Double post.
-
So decided to give pinpoint a try after all the positive comments. Wow. All offline and conquest but give me a couple days and this is amazing as even after 10ish games I feel very in control.

So far, I am highly proficient with pure analog. I would need a new controller to learn pin-point, my right stick is just hammered.
I recommend Elite Series 2 or Scuf if you can. The Elite Series 2 is worth every cent. I've tried a brand new Series X and brand new Xbox one controller and its no comparison.

Believe it or not, I bought a walmart special $19.85 wired controller and it's freakin perfect.
I have an app called "game controller tester" or something like that, free on xbox store, and it's just a test interface so you can see all the buttons and test the sticks and drift, etc...
I switched to PP pitching, will never go back.

It seems like the release matters far more than drawing the pattern in pinpoint. The system is good overall, but I do think it is too forgiving like others have said

What’s up haters?

This may be my favorite thing I love when an old post ages so well
Well done sir

Do you still feel that way now? Because I’ll get perfect perfect with people like all star Freddy Peralta on a pitch out the zone and it hangs it for a perfect cockshot. I’ve lost 5 games in the past week due to that.
