This game is pure trash.

Wow you think this game is trash. Your a 1st year player, we’ve dealt with it going on 4 years.
-
Have no clue how you’ve stayed around. I had so much fun for the last two months climbing the ranks and learning how to hit heat in World Series. Now all you have to do is time a swing and placement barely matters because they need to give everyone a 99 card.

Well Buddy, good cards are starting to come out. People will have pitchers with 125 H/9 and hitters with 120/115 Contact/Power. You will have to sequence to get outs. It’s only going to get harder from this point on.
-
Of course and I am all about that. However I am not about free swingers being able to touch everything and anything. I have not returned to legend, but I can say on all star and HoF the pcis are ENORMOUS. I get it’s a lower difficulty, but isn’t pitch speeds being slower enough? Everyone’s PCI is the size of the entire strike zone. What is the point?

You lost your last game 2-1, you struck the guy out 18 times.
The game prior to that, you were doing well with Lee, then changed to Harvey in the 4th and gave up 7 runs, seems like that was a mistake on your part, certainly not the game.
The game prior to that, you struck your opponent out 10 times.
9 strikeouts the game you pitched Paxton in.
I'd say you're getting plenty of strikeouts. I agree the game is trash, but your complaint doesn't seem valid from my experience....or looking at stats, yours.

What Scrub said. Strikeouts are overrated. I like to pitch to contact. It keeps my pitch count down, and you do get K’s along the way.
Regardless, by the end of the year, every lineup you face will be full of 99’s (if not before) so you might as well get used to it.

You should be able to tell if a player is using contact swing type. If that’s the case then pitch to contact, that type of hitters tend to chase a lot. Borderline pitches or slightly out of the zone will induce weak grounders or flyouts, especially now that exit velo for contact swings is fixed.

Edit: Something I forgot to mention is to be making constant adjustments based on pci placement and swing timing of your opponent. Tunneling and playing rocking chair are the most effective ways to pitch.

Absolutely ^^^.
You need to be able to read your opponent’s swings and adjust. -
Wanna talk about not striking people out lol. Pop in MLBTS 18 and come talk to us
