Byebye crutches
Gonna be a lot of cry baby complaint threads……. I’ll get the popcorn buddy
And how will they be different from all the cry baby complaint threads we saw about contact hitting before change?
I almost see the complainers after the patch having a more valid excuse. They were allowed to develop their game using contact hitting and more lenient pinpoint pitching. Now they are getting their playstyle nerfed.
No difference to me either way as I use neither contact swings or pinpoint pitching.
-
The changes are exactly what I wanted. Pinpoint needs to be more difficult. Contact swings need a nerf. R2 interrupting PPP is gone.
-
I wonder if balanced hitters will still be able to whack with contact swing. It reads that itll only affect power guys.

It doesn’t sound like contact swing will be unusable, you just won’t hit tanks from using it as often. People who implemented it into their strategy should still be able to use it effectively, just less extra base hits from it (how it should be)
-
Another thought: this could actually add value to contact hitters and make them more usable

Lol at strategy. People use it to make their pci enormous. Its abused. Hope its fixed.

No more Friendly Quit glitch.
No more tipping pitches from Darren O'Day.
No more meta Contact Swing.
But best of all is when they state that R2 was implemented to keep people from quick pitching!
Yes, it will be adjusted. But to those who say quick pitching isn't possible; there's your proof!
-
Huge win. I like everything I see in that update
-
W!!!!!!!!!! I use contact swings with 2 strikes only and I don't use pinpoint.

My thoughts exactly. Or the "balanced guys with high power" might become valuable since this seemingly doesnt apply to them.

It will still work. High power hitters will see more penalty to exit velos.
-
This is huge! More than welcome in my book! GFYS you contact hitting fools. Bye bye!

I believe the change is meant to impact high power guys more than the rest of the cards, it will still affect the low power guys but to a lesser extent.
It makes perfect sense because low power guys don’t get crazy exit velos that often, so the nerf is in proportion to what the card attributes bring to the user.

What determines who is a balanced or power hitter?
-
I expect to log in tomorrow and see nothing but positivity on here since the update appears to address pretty much every major gripe that people have .....Hahahahahaha I crack myself up. I know the community better than that.
I predict that the board will be evenly split between whiny rants from players who liked the way things were before, and even whinier rants from people who are happy with the changes but immediately find 10 new problems to complain about. There will probably also be a couple posts from people who lose a game and start peddling conspiracy theories about secret downgrades.
Whatever you guys do, don't go disappointing me by being all upbeat about everything. Your grief is a daily source of amusement to me.

If the power and contact numbers are close, then they will be balanced. An easy way to check is R2 in the game and the bottom of the card will say power, balanced, or contact.

This update was made for me... I use pulse pitching and have used contact swing once this year (HR with Dominguez in Polo)... Love this update...

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think that is true. If you hold R2 and check that, it actually changes throughout the game. Not sure what the criteria is but I have noticed this b4 and made it a point to check every at-bat. And sure enough one time it will be contact under the card and the next it will say balanced under the same card. Or vice versa.
