Hitting sucks now
-
We purchase with coins earned or for some with real $$ buying stubs better, higher rated players to improve our teams and players hitting attributes. It has been easy to see a nerfing of hitting abilities all year. 1) Suddenly that 82 MPH slider is 81 or 80 MPH, 2) ANOTHER CH-UP?? 3) Six CB's in a row? 4) Every pitch is on the black or just off the plate 5) The nano second location change of a pitch ect ect. Not to mention the double plays and dying warning path fly outs OR the spectacular diving catch or robbing of HR's. We play/grind the games to gain rewards (Programs 4th inning Affinity Player Programs etc etc) Hitting aids achievements that is how you get rewards (players Packs ect ect). This community requested a further nerfing of their own abilities to profit. Well, you got what you wanted and now MLB DD becomes more and more tarnished as is every Madden game because of CPU cheating. Did I mention the AI locked animations already in the game hahahahaha The way HR's go out in real life, MLB was not exaggerating the potential of contact swings. How many broken bat HR's have we witnessed in real life? Too many to count as is the case with oppo field HRs. MLB had the contact swing correct, the loudest in the community were not satisfied. At everyone's expense including their own. I just don't understand the logic behind it. It is a video game predicated on CPU AI advantages over the user. Heck, it will save SDS a lot NOT to have to dispense free packs players coins and rewards and that at the request of the community! JSMH That is my humble opinion.

Especially in this “moonshot” event, you’d think perfect perfect would kill opponents pitching but.. nah lol

What are you talking about? I've been hitting [censored] PCI homeruns all weekend in the event. Just use "x". It doesnt seem like anything has changed with regular swing

I’ve played about 3-4 games and it’s excellent. Good bye you contact hitters only.

Where have they fixed Contact hitting? Still seeing the same weak dribblers and dinkers off bad timing and bad pci placement .

I've only played in the event since the patch, so I'm not sure if its just the result of moonshot or not but for me and my opponents it seems like when we have good pci placement its a lazy fly ball.
And when we have bad placement, like the pci not even touching the ball, its a home run.
And every perfect flyball and majority of perfect line drives have been bombs, seen someone say perfects are usually outs, no clue what that person is talking about lol

I’ve now played maybe 6-7 games and in about 5 of those the players I was facing were contact swingers. I’m now up to 730 in RS (highest since 21) as I’ve used normal swing for last 2/3 weeks to get used to it again
People squaring up contact swinging and they’re not even reaching the warning track. Just how it should be. You’ll always get bloop singles from contact swinging. It won’t nerf “luck”
I feel I’m hitting quite well since the patch - or it’s the fact pinpoint has been nerfed as well?

The only people that think hitting changed are the ones that used contact swing the last two months. It's awesome!

Contact swing has most definitely been nerfed therefore it is better. Normal swing has not been touched. Its a good update amd things are looking up as far as hitting goes.

You mean home runs nerfed. Fine and cool. Still the same foul ball problems and off the ball hits with what I’ve noticed

I’ve had no issues, y’all just suck at the game.

That’s what contact swings are for, to put the ball in play and to stay alive in 2 strike counts. Off pci hits are a problem but it has to be coded that way, I have come to terms with giving up a few of those per game.

I love when my opponenrs have that huge PCI now, I just throw competitive pitches and get outs very easily

Yup that’s what it is. Great input.

V if that’s what contact swing is for, leave that [censored] in offline non-Competitive play. I’m over the off the ball dinkers and dribblers . I can see if the ball was at the edge of the pci, but I’m talking about balls not even close to it. Then those leading to a 2 run homer the very next AB. It gets frustrating. Especially when you know you executed a pitch to induce bad swings. Also putting good swings on the ball resulting in outs way more than they should, in comparison.

It’s frustrating, I know, I was forced to come to terms with it. I think they need to tone down the success rate for those bloops. Hopefully it can be adjusted soon.
