SDS PLEASE GO BACK TO PRE PATCH
-
I told my friends don’t waste their money buying this game
-
This game is legit playing terrible. I’m hitting it perfect. Weak fly out.
Feels like last year again.
What’s the point of good pci placement and timing if the results don’t back up what you’re doing. Revert the patch!!
-
Even though hitting on AS is clunky, you’re still able to hit plenty. HOF on the other hand.... hahah it’s pretty nuts with how awkward the timing is and the pci size. You’re pretty much trying to pick up on sequences and hope that the good timing and placement swings provide good results. Guys with splitters and high Velo fastballs are cheat codes. I keep saying this, but I don’t get why the timing window was the first adjustment they turned to. I would have figured upping pitch speeds to 15/16 levels with the current windows and fixing some of the issues with pitching would have been much simpler and more balanced.
PS: pci sizes are perfect now, it’s just the timing windows they adjusted.

Pre-patch, i couldn’t stop playing the game. I was enjoying Showdown and felt like I could get it done and was having FUN. MTO was actually entertaining and didn’t feel like a grind. Playing on All-Star or above was a manageable sweat fest. BR was ok, not that I played a ton. I felt like I’d actually reach 300 program points and beyond because what else am I going to do? Post-patch, I don’t even want to boot into the game. Sadly, I found myself going back to another [censored] show of game in Destiny. I honestly didn’t think their could be another Dev, other than Bungle, that could break their game so quickly. I could see making changes after a few weeks, but 2 days after official release is downright stupid. People are stuck at home, keep the game FUN for as people as possible. Hitting, in my opinion, was in the best place it'd been in a few years. So instead of ruining hitting, start refining pitching again. Start with the strike zone. If it’s going to be inconsistent, then at least make it realistic where one ump calls outside off the black, another inside off the, or they like it down. This RNG strike zone needs to go, or better yet, make it a no if-ands-or-buts robozone. If it’s on the black it’s a strike, unless at the top of the zone. Then fix the inputs and reduce the RNG, from user controlled pitches. Then, watch your data and make changes as needed. At this time, people need things that are FUN to pass the time.
If you didn’t like how showdown was being farmed, then restrict the end game rewards. Don’t make it possible to receive an infinite amount of tickets. There’s 5 teams in each division, so limit ticket rewards to 5 entries. Make the boss more difficult, remove the skip to the boss feature, shrink pci’s, create a diminishing returns algorithm, or something other than a global DD hitting nerf. The quick fix, is rarely the best fix. Especially when you undo all the work you’re team put into fixing hitting.
If it’s fun, people will spend money no matter the situation. Bring the FUN back the show. Make tweaks not global changes.

Hitting was too easy before. It‘s more balanced now. Hate to be THAT guy, but perhaps y’all need to learn to hit better. SDS made the change because batting averages across the board were too high. Y’all just happen to not be as good of hitters as the average player apparently.
You may be right I may not be a World Series player yet I enjoyed the game before patch. The good players still bear me yet I was at least able to score a few runs making the game more enjoyable. Playing a 9 inning game on all star and getting 4 hits is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t know if it’s time window as everyone this year likes to say but I do know that all star feels like hall of fame did last year. I don’t play on a monitor and that makes the game too hard right now. Pitch speeds too fast. Also sds said “outer” pci was being lowered in last patch. Let’s not overlook that the inner definitely was reduced as well and a lot. Game is horrible now.

I'm 4-1 post patch in DD but hitting just inst rewarding anymore. Especially with all the trash "Good Okay" results.

keep it to the top top top baby lets go

lol i was wondering for a second ....... everything feels like a giant softball practice its a joke compared to day 1 launch
-
Yes take this patch off! Everything is now late or early. Hitting just seems way off. Even pci control is affected. Fix this now! Just take the patch off!
-
Such a dumpster fire right now that the game is just a roll of the dice for most players.
-
What is up with the pitching though? I can’t recall ever missing my spot more than this year. It’s insane

People like you are the problem. It's obviously broken since week 1 and your telling people they need to get better. Hitting felt easy because everyone was playing on Veteran. I was hitting around .500 in my first 10 games or so. Now that I'm on legend the pci is sooooooo small and pitch speeds are ridiculous. HOF plays harder than Legend did last year. I can't wait for people who are saying hitting is "still fine" to play on at least HOF. I honestly doubt anyone who is good at this game thinks hitting is good. The user input is pointless now and its back to lineouts like 19. Literally feels like the same game now. Good ole bait and switch by SDS like always.
Exactly. I does feel like 19 all over again, especially without much update to the commentary or noticeable "over 200 new animations" ?... All I'm focusing on is how boring it is and every RP dropping his mitt when he comes to the mound. I want my money back.
Yeah the relievers dropping their mitt is driving me nuts... every one of them. Is it because weed is legal across more states now?

Hahah yes, that explains it. It's likely tolerated at a certain studio in San Diego, I imagine.

I’m glad this isn’t just me. Hitting is wayyyyy harder than last year all of a sudden. It’s not even fun half the time. I’ll admit it was a little TOO easy at release, but this is way too far the other direction.
-
I suck at hitting no matter what, but on 3/13 hitting felt pretty good. I wish we could just get one good patch, leave it at that. If nothing else we could get used to the gameplay.
I'm wondering with the game going to Xbox and Switch next year if this game is going to get as much attention. I maybe will, who knows, but between that and the PS5 coming, I have to imagine recourses are being used elsewhere.

Dude, isn’t that why there are difficulty levels attached to online ratings? Lol WS players are on legend and HOF for a reason. Speaking as a player whose made WS in years past, the hitting now is not good at all after this patch. Instead of being upset and “casual” players for having fun hitting the ball, why not just buff pitching. I wasn’t upset at everyone hitting .500. It’s a video game, let players hit bombs. It’s fun. But playing on All-Star and not being able to even put bat on ball sucks. And pitching was and still is a headache. So not only is hitting messed up now, pitching is still atrocious. SDS needs to revert this patch and focus on pitching control and fielding. Hitting was great for everyone. And part of the marking for this game was fun hitting. At the end of the day, it’s about players having fun. This 1.04 has nearly ruined the game for a lot of players.
-
Anyone having scoring glitches? LIke i hit a lead off double in the gap with Bo Bichette. No one was on base he was the first hitter in the inning and they scored it as a Fielders Choice.
Was a liner in the gap that went to the wall. Is this a one off? Or is this how it is now? I Left the show for 2k20 last year. But decieded to give 2020 a shot.
-
this game was awesome hitting wise. now its just not fun. iv been playing for 10 years, been using PCI hitting for 3, this year being my 4th. im not great, im average. but i was really enjoying the game first released. one thing ive noticed that i don't hear anyone talking about is CPU pitching. i play a ton of conquest. EVERY pitcher, regardless of ratings, dots the corners. either way outside, or on the lines. maybe 3 meatballs per game if that. yet when i pitch i serve up meatballs regardless of my input. i simply do not understand why SDS insists on ruining their game with this [censored] year in and year out.
