Game Picking Winners
-
Anyone else feel like the game is picking winners and lovers. I went 13-2 the first season and dominated most games I played, all the way into the deep 500s.
Last 3 games I've played I've out hit my opponents and lost 2 of the 3 games. Lost a game 2-1 and had EVERY out was on balls with 12+ in PCI...I had 3 hits and only struck out 4 times. That's 23 12+ PCI...
Am I the only one seeing this?

most people start off pretty well. its way to easy at first, beating up on chumps isnt very difficult

That's the thing though, I wasn't beating up [censored] players. It's not a player issue, im making great contact.

It’s how the game has been for years. It’s not always best player wins. There’s luck involved in this game. The game isn’t picking winners, you’re just having bad luck.

I'm done figuring out how RS plays. Sometimes I'm making clean contact and other times my bat is clunking against the ball like brick even when the PCI and timing are good. It doesn't seem to matter how I've been playing elsewhere in the game. If I try a RS game, I know I'm going to hit well or I'm not going to hit a lick, and if I'm hitting badly turning it around is near-impossible. If I'm hitting well, often my opponent can't hit a thing, and it's not always as clear-cut as home/road or anything like that, so I don't really get it. Last year I played 500 ranked games and that was mostly out of a feeling of wanting to participate in the prestige process and collect some more cards. This year I'm not sure how many ranked games I'm going to play. I prefer playing against other people compared to the computer but for sure it feels very inconsistent to me so I'm reluctant to play online as much as I'd like to. I don't feel like I'm so great a player I should be hitting super well, and I also don't feel I'm so terrible a player that I can't hit anything, but those are the two extremes I feel like I get in RS games.

I get that, pulling a very early and outside for a single happens, not as often in real life, but it happens. It's the utter nonsense that gets me.
I hit a dead center pci call, with Good timing, with Babe Ruth and got a weak fly out. Next inning, my opponent went back to back with players with less power, on balls they didn't even have in the PCI...like clearly outside of the solid yellow...that s not luck...that's the game picking the winner.

of course you were. you only played 18 games. you never reached the point of playing anyone good yet. and its pretty easy to make "great contact" early on

You're making my argument for me though. The input quality hasn't changed and yet the outcome has.
