    Do you play on a monitor? If not i would guess your problem is not balls in the dirt it’s the fastball. You have to cheat so much to catch up to a fastball that you swing too fast to even see the pitch out of the hand.

    Find a camera that works for you, it isn't impossible to see what pitches are going into the dirt. Will you get fooled? Of course, that's baseball. Learning tendencies, being patient and experience will get you where you need to be. Handicaps and crutches to improve only hurt the game. Last year you could foul off pitches repeatedly even with egregious swings. Just improve your patience and tendencies and you'll be better off. I wish I versed people that threw 50 dirtballs a game, that's a lot of free bases.

    agreed, i use zoom and have to switch to fisheye when i get a dirtballer

    my point is... all the game turns into is a dirt fest. doesn't matter that i cant lay off of the majority of dirtballs lol..

    sds should widen the hit box for contact or make a mode called "strikezone" where all pitches have to be delievered no higher or no wider than a ball's distance any where outside the strikezone box.

    you're trolling.

    how ? there are modes called events, hr derby, br, showdown etc...i just gave an idea bro

    not a very a good one.

    And Chris Sale doesn’t send down 70 inside sliders to RHB and strike 15 of them out.

    to branch off, and not be a complete pos, custom practice mode, you can pick where the pitchers throw the ball, the exact location, theres your strike zone mode.

    Oh then I don’t know. Maybe just quit? I doubt they make a mode where pitches have to be a ball within the strike zone. Just being honest. Maybe work on your game plan. If you spit on enough dirt balls they do stop throwing them.

    Do you think the good players got their skills overnight? Or maybe in a week? A month? It takes years of practice and experience bro.

    I cant believe you're serious. I think it's time you hung up the controller and did something else with your time. You def aren't a gamer or a baseball fan.

    Man I'm gonna block you, my brain actually hurts every time you post nonsense like this. Imagine Chris Sale throwing 40 sliders out of the zones for swings and misses and he'll be like "you know what, I feel like a coward. Let's start pounding the zone with fastballs instead".

    block me? lol...im just talking out loud. when someone pitches, show some balls and that one can actually apply thinking into a pitch count is all im saying. ive faced good pitching on this game. and simply gave them a big gg once game is over no matter what the score was........

    on a side note, i can read the sliders.....lol

    It’s the only way to get a strike out and keep people off balance. And even still dudes foul it off 100 times a game. You make those ineffective you’re going to have half the guys hitting .500+

    Yup. Might as well go play 20 if that's what you're looking for. Check swings and foull ball galore until the game forces one down the middle for a 3 run homer that will win you a game you had absolutely no business of winning.

    disagree, the contact and vision can be altered using a strikezone mode and there is a such thing as being a crafty pitcher.

    Look man, the thing you're bothered with in this thread is the very same thing people were so fed up with last year. Strikeouts were non existent and terrible players could keep at bats alive until forever. The only people who would be upset with these changes are them, the terrible players.

    I resent the charge no matter how true it may be 😞

    The first pitch I throw every single game is a curveball in the dirt. If you swing, it's also the second pitch I throw. This will continue until you stop swinging.

    Don't swing, you'll start to see better pitches to hit. Maybe set the controller on the floor until 2 strikes, that should help you with taking pitches, and seeing the pitch as it comes in. Eventually you'll get pretty good at identifying breaking balls in the dirt.

    It's way, way too easy to make contact with pitches low out of the strike zone. It's become ridiculous at this point.

    you're trolling.

    He's not, look at his other posts. He's complaining about everything that's skill based, and has gone as far as to suggest people are using software to make them better hitters, because after all, if they're better than him, it must be a cheat.

    Why stop there let’s just make every squared up ball a automatic home run . Plate discipline is part of the game and part of the skill gap there’s already plenty foul balls as it is with pitches out the zone .

    To make it even better, he's only won 2 RS games which means, he's still playing on veteran difficulty and complaining about this.....
