Yeah... let's get it out of the way. I lost a game and I'm bitter
I struck the guy out 19 times.... He struck me out 7
I put the ball in play 20 times.. 7 of which had PCI of 14 or high and didn't get one of those to be a hit.
He put the ball in play a whopping 11 times TOTAL.... ONE PCI of a 14. Everything else was a 12 or lower.... Including the game winning HR.
Now this is All-Star Hell of course since the season reset. But Can someone please chime in here and tell me Git Gud or defend the game to the end of times. Because that was literally the most frustrating games I have ever played.
It’s painfully obvious when the game doesn’t want you to win. If you are playing someone that you are far superior to on that given day you can overcome it, but most of the time it happens when you are pretty evenly matched or even fairly better than your opponent and your hands are tied.

It is pretty obvious when you are seeing the ball better than your opponent and taking the proper pitches while putting well timed swings on balls in the zone. Meanwhile your opponent is flailing and magically hits a bomb every time they touch the ball with the pci. If you pay attention it often comes after a seeing eye single or bloop single.
When the game is playing even ten run rules happen, but whatever they coded into some games it is designed to be a nail biter regardless of input….in my opinion.

How do I check PCI placement ratings? I know I’m probably bringing myself a world of frustration with this ability but I’d like to know so I know which ones were good and which ones were bad. I mean I already know you want the ball slightly above dead center of the circle but I’d still like to see how some of my hits are rated. And what’s the scale? Is 14 the best or does it go higher?
And just to rant in harmony with you I literally played this exact same game yesterday. Dude was one of those annoying bunt dancers/R2’ers and I had 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third (event game) with two outs and he was bad bad bad. Anyways he hits a ball directly at my 2B (Soriano 92 fielding) and Soriano did the ol terribly unnecessary slide and let the ball go right through his glove like there was a hole in it and right when that happened I told my girlfriend watching me that his next batter was going to hit a homerun. Sure as sheit David Ortiz came up and slammed a no doubter. I looked at the PCI and the ball was on the far left edge barely touching it. So in my worthless opinion I 100% believe games are scripted. Oh and now that the Moonshot event is over I’ll say Chi Chi Gonzalez is a dam boss for me! 0.93 ERA through 38.2 innings pitched! I honestly couldn’t believe it. I’m sure it was a long stretch of luck but still...
It’s in the batter analysis section. I believe if you scroll through the bottom categories. 15 is perfect if I’m not mistaken.
Funny that you mention the Ortiz Homerun and how you knew it was coming. I made my previous post on this thread prior to reading your post and said the same thing.

Ranked is a farce,face it. Every record in it is meaningless.Every experienced player knows this.It is totally based and solely a stubb comercial.Always has been. Kwik Out.

If you gonna play ranked season take the wins and the losses and dont try to figure out the twilight zone . Only the true Zoneeese know its nature shortly before being banned.

pitcher confidence and clutch rating effect that way more than we think.

This game is and has been for years screwed up by connections. You can't take this game competitively. Just play with different cards and not care if you win or lose. That's what I do.
I want to but as a college player and coach it just frustrates me losing to morons that have no clue about ball. Stick skills definitely don’t matter. What matters is home, inside fastball and sinkers with outlier and lucky swings. You know you’re screwed when all your balls in play are outs and the other guy couldn’t hit their way out a wet paper bag and spam pitches that would get wrecked in the real…. Definitely not made for real baseball people. I sometimes laugh at it but I sometimes want to reach through the game and beat the dudes [censored] for knowing nothing about ball and being able to win
You are definitely correct. I played major D1 college and professionally in the minors. Do you not think I am competitive? Of course I am. However, this game will drive you nuts if you let it. The connection and/or server issues in this game are ridiculous. You can either deal with them, adapt (which I have done) or quit. I can promise you people are not seeing my pitch speeds and going 100-10.
I am down in all star right now seeing warping pitches. Most games, the first 3 innings I am getting a gauge on pitch speeds and opponent tendencies. I usually don't hit much until then. If I am scoring in the first 3 innings the game usually doesn't last long even on HOF.

Terrible argument. In games where pitchers strikeout more than 18 they are 20-3. In MLB the show it's probably about .500. Don't throw those silly rarities out there like it's a norm. Johnson's 19 k's and loss are very rare outliers.

Exactly right..only RNG would explain how much this game deviates from real life. In 23 games of the modern ERA when a pitcher has 18 or more k's they've won 20 of those.
I've had at least 3 myself this season where I've struck out 18 or more and lost. Probably won a couple. Would have to go back and track. But, everyone should just to exploit the glut of nonsense stats this game generates.

I understand constructive criticisms that gives feedback for improvement for next year's game, but this seems like you are miserable playing this game. Why are you playing this game if you are so triggered and angry? You even think this game is a joke @KOTANK1334_PSN . This game makes you so unhappy but you are willing to keep playing it.

Thank you guys for introducing me to the “Label PCI Rating”. Looks like the rating is 1-15 and I guess after 15 is perfect.
I just lost a game 3-2 where he hit 2 perfects, two 12s, and an 11 up out of the zone to the wall for a triple; while I hit two perfects, two 15s, two 13s. Both teams all 97+ players.
All you can do is locate and time the hit the best you can… it seems as if the rest is out of our control lol
