I can't hit this year.
-
I've been playing the show for 6 years. I literally can not hit on HOF this year. I have been a perennial world series player every year. I usually bat between .290 and .375 each year. I'm not a top player or anything, but I've been able to get to World Series when I put in the effort. This year, I can't hit sh!t. 2-6 hits per game. All my games end 1-2, 2-0 etc mostly winning or losing on bloop hits or weird animations. I might be retiring from ranked at this point. It's almost like pitching is too good this year. Just curious if anyones had this experience or if it's just me

Have you tried using contact swing every at bat for every pitch? All the cool kids are doing it.

I can't even hit with contact swing

Last year when my internet downgraded I went through this heavily. It was so bad that when I was finally about to win a game (8 run come back) I got a DC and was done for the year.
If it’s not that, it could be a monitor setting, maybe over clocked and working slower.
Also 99 control 99 break 101mph sinkers grow on trees these days.

I've been tweaking with the monitor a ton. Nothing is doing the job

Great advice, tell him to exploit the game so he can get basehits

Yeah I figured, but I do know some people buy a really nice 120hz monitor and don’t realize in 60hz it’s actually incredibly slow. You’re smarter than that but it was worth a mention.

I hope in 2022 this game get with the times and support 120 fps and get better and faster servers.

I’m struggling big time this year lol I think it’s because I’m so used to being able to tap the button to check swing and lay off pitches and this year they just swing.

That’s a big adjustment for a lot of people; it was so OP it became a crutch for many. I know I’m getting more Ks while pitching this year by a fair margin.

I can't hit this year because I just watched Hardball and I'm crying

Contact to me is essentially X from last year just tried it 2 games in a row.
I don't know man I switched back to X 2 hrs it must be a lag issue with me. When it's laggy i'm going to use O because I get garbage exit velo when it's like that but when no lag X is fine.

I’m literally playing practice mode and can’t square up balls knowing what’s coming.. it’s bad for me too

Could you elaborate? I know about input lag and frame rate and refresh rate……..I thought playing on 120 Hz Xbox Series X with a 120 HZ monitor would cut the input lag in half from what I’ve read?
Let me know if I’m missing something. Thanks.

Are you just saying some 120 Hz monitors have shitty specs @60 Hz?

Actually yes that’s pretty much exactly what I was saying. The OP has a pretty good understanding of them but I thought I’d mention it.
If you go to Rtings.com you can see specs for countless monitors. And some (although not a lot) can perform pretty terribly in 60hz if the native refresh rate is 120hz or something else. One day the game should be 120FPS and that won’t matter but for now it can mean a lot.
Basically on that site you can put in your monitor, see it’s natural refresh rate, and then what it performs at in 60hz or 120hz.
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg259qm
If you look @ this monitor, it performs at 280hz which is amazing. It’s input lag @280hz is <2ms which is GOD TIER…..It’s input lag @60hz is 30ms….15 times slower.

I am struggling ridiculously with this particular version I'm usually a .320 hitter.......now .178
What did they change in the mechanics???I'm a .178 hitter, does that mean normally I would have been a .300 hitter? I feel better now.
