    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

    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.

    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.

    They nerfed pitching and hitting and the game is so much better now. No longer just a HR derby, but now plays like baseball.

    I feel like people who complain about hitting this quickly after a patch are the same people who use a card for one game and go 0-4 and say he sucks and sell him. We all have days where it seems like all your good contact isn’t being rewarded and you can’t hit your way out of a paper bag. The next day you look like a top 50 player.

    Let’s try a larger sample size.
