Ranked at HOF is not really that fun…
-
Bottom line is I want 95 to look the same every time I play. Not like a marble shot out of cannon one week and a beach ball the next. However, I will do what I need to do in order to make the game fun. Game hasn't been fun the last week with warping pitch speeds. I'll either tank back down to all star and try different cards or maybe start a franchise. I'm pretty sure I would hit better with the Royals on legend in Franchise mode than I do with a top tier squad in RS on HOF/Legend. I'll adapt, been doing it for the majority of my DD time.

until they fix contact swings there is no reason to play anything below HOF and this is coming from a online rated and custom league player. Contact swings on AS are absurd!
DD HOF plays differently than with regular players and teams. Those 80+ per nines is DD are the issue.

That card is fk nuts bro. Worst pitcher to face. Faced Oswalt for the first time on HOF last night and I couldn’t touch him.
As a Cabrera user, I will admit that he is completely unfair. I have yet to let up a run with him in 37.1 innings (4 CGSO), only 6 hits, 0 walks and 54 Ks. His sinker is nearly unhittable on HoF, not quite to Legend but hopefully I am riding on the back of him and Oswalt to WS.
Yea it’s beginning to be no fun going against him and Crochett. My Cabrera in 25 innings has 1.04 ERA with 50ks. Nuts
mine is riding the bench where he belongs

I got up to 850 this season… trying like hell to either hit 900 or get 40 wins (currently at 31)… but anyone throwing 102 with pinpoint on HOF is a 1-0 2-1 Batting average killer. My team era is 2.25, but so is my batting average now… .225. It’s just not fun. However I did tweak some PCI stuff and had 9 and 11 hits my last 2 game and won handedly. So maybe there is hope next season to get to 900. But I’m on vacation next week so my focus is 9 more wins (don’t even care if I go 9-9, and then chill out on ranked seasons and play more BR, which has been the most fun online aspect for me this year.

AS should remain the same, it’s the casual setting for casuals. Easier runs, easier pitching, the problem is really good players being forced down playing on AS and ruining it, there is no need to rank 1200 players back down that low lmao.
There also needs to be much larger groups in each ranking so the difficulties don’t change as frequently, allow for people to lose more than once before they rank back down and vice versa.
HOF should be AS with a much smaller PCI, no need for speed changes THIS large. Velocity is one part of pitching not everything.
Legend should be something all on its own. Faster pitchers, smaller PCI, but most importantly the “tools” need to change. You shouldn't be able to see how many milliseconds slow your swing was on a pitch 3 seconds ago, or how many centimetres that pitch missed by. MLB players don’t have iPads in there back pocket they pull out 12 times an at bat. Prior to at bats all of that info should be available, not during the current at bat. No labels, no feedback, no PCI, no PP analog walkthrough, no anything. Legend should feel realistic not just insanely fast.

No I play legend online rated from time to time. And last few dd games have been on legend but I can say with certainty the movement and speed is much easier to track and keep up with, respectively, for online rated games even on legend I’m not striking out nearly as much than on hof dd.
I have noticed contact swings on online rated games don’t go for homeruns like they do in Dd although personally I haven’t had luck using contact only but Dd plays differently. Hof online rated is all star dd. -

HOF is the best difficulty to play on, just because you can't catch up to pitches and get your pci on the ball doesn't mean it's not fun you just have to play it more that's all. not trying to be a [censored] or anything but once you get the hang of HOF is extremely fun
You’re outnumbered bro. For every person that says HOF is great, there are ten that say it sucks!! I’ve played numerous games on HOF and have won a few! None of them were any fun at all even the games I won!! I, and many others, play this game cuz we love baseball and wanna have fun. I’m 46 years old. This is the ONLY game I own. I don’t have lightning quick reflexes. I have NO DESIRE to put in the kind of time it would take for me to really good on HOF. Screw that!!!
you're 46 years old calling other people kids who don't go outside and amphetamine addicts... get a life bro fr

Worst is when you are on that WS grind, in the 800's and buddy can manually trigger a freeze off... do I drop the 20-30 points and quit, or wait it out?

Sorry I offended you sir. Enjoy the rest of you’re Friday and have a great weekend!

Few things need to be adjusted and based on the replies - it's pretty glaring
There needs to be a speed between All-Star and HOF across the board UNLESS the sinker is fixed. If this sinker is fixed - HOF is a good speed for the upper tiers.
ALSO - you can make the sinker react to unfamiliar zones like you do with the curveball and slider. It's VERY difficult to backdoor a slider because arm angles of human beings makes that [censored] near impossible (good job!). If a sinker is thrown up and in - it should very rarely be dotted. No one...and I mean no one in baseball history has thrown a sinker up and in on purpose.

It’s unreal how many guys are in World Series based off of pinpoint pitching. Some of these guys can’t hit AT ALL, but they have mastered pinpoint and are patient enough to never challenge you at the plate.
They are good at finding cheap ways to score….steals, bunts etc…
