HOF Question(s)
-
Hey everyone - those of you who play HOF/make it to World Series I have a question about what I'm doing wrong.
I stayed offline/grinding for most of the start of the year. Since I've started to play more online, I've gone flawless, 11-0 3 times, 9-0 5 times so I know I have some semblance of stick skills.
I just played a game where both me and my opponent had more than 10, 14/15 PCI rated swings - but the game was decided on a bloop single in the 10th (by him, IDC - I know I'm not perfect and I'm okay with losing). I'm just confused about if HOF has been like this all season.
I get that not everything 14/15 is a hit. I get that lots of stuff goes for line outs etc. Like I said, I've gone flawless - I'm not "get gud" material here. I also understand that the player's swing path is ultimately the deciding factor. I had one with Dante Bichette - I was middle PCI, in "good" but slightly early, at Dodger stadium, ended up a 40 degree launch angle at 89mph.
He had several of the same. We started PMing after like the 7th inning like "ok this game is gonna take forever" - he was World Series banner, so again, someone who knows and understands stick skills.
Without seeing my screen, what am I doing wrong? Am I supposed to not get the ball in the middle of the PCI on HOF? I honestly am saying this genuinely - because I've been a BR junkie for the first few months of the game so I haven't even played HOF much.
I've played HOF in 20 and it didn't feel like this. I finished last year with an 898 highest ranking. I get all the basics - H/9 matters, K/9 affects PCI size, etc etc etc. But both him and I agree that it feels like the ball or bats are made of rubber.
I've tried playing off-peak curious if it was a server thing, because I found that playing off-peak helped with BR - not with the competition - but it felt more like the swings I was taking were resulting the way I expect them to.
I'm still seeing streamers putting up 10 a game so I'm just confused whether this is me/him having a bad game - or if this is a consistent issue that other HOFers are seeing? I literally never played RS before the ASG cards came out - so I simply don't know.

lol you lost welcome to baseball it happens no need to write a book about your perceived injustices

Based on my experience it’s a combination of connection and rng. Mid 700-low 800 games are going to be mostly decided by one inning, maybe even one ab in my experience.

Are you always a clown or just 9 to 5?

What hurts for me is having made WS flawlessly last season, now on a 15 games win streak in RS and yet I still haven’t been able to go 12-0 in BR this year
Sucks. I do always play at peak times when the creatures of the night lurk

Imagine being me, going on a 6-0 BR run and feeling powerful. Like Tony Montana once said: First you get the stubs, then you get the power, then you get clapped by a 12-0 guy.

Then goons are a rare breed. I think they use smelling salts.

This is mostly what I wanted to know - thank you!

BR is my favourite mode - it was only a matter of time until I mastered it - I felt the momentum coming - 9-0, 9-0, 11-0, 11-0, then finally flawless.

Why do you even spend time on this forum? What do you get out of making posts like this? I was asking questions. I said I didn't care if I lost. He didn't care that he won. Both the guy who beat me and myself would probably trounce you, so please find another topic to be insufferable in
