Number of questions about DD mechanics
-
Interesting to see if something is said about clutch… wondered if all the "comeback logic" that people talk about is really more of a runaway clutch effect with so many hitters in a row batting in high leverage situations, but would be fantastic to hear how it really worked with our relying on speculation.
Great post to consolidate so many inquiries into the mysteries of this game…

Great post, but SDS doesn't care, by you posting this means they have your money. Caring stops there.

Another question too:
Does confidence effect pinpoint input and if so how?Maybe I'm just imagining it but I feel like when my pitchers have high confidence the game cuts me more slack with my motions. Sometimes I'll get a perfect and know that I did a bad job tracing everything and wonder if it has anything to do with confidence or me just being crazy.
Good question, I've added it to the post.

You could be right, I sometimes feel this way too. But this would be a great opportunity for them to prove us wrong.

And I’m not trying to be a [censored]. I’ve just seen it way too much. I submitted a ticket in may and haven’t heard a peep from them. They don’t care period

Question: Why don’t you respond to your community?

Not really in line with the other questions, but I've added it to the post nonetheless lol.

As a new player this year, I would like to know the answers to these questions as well. Other games release detailed descriptions of each attribute for everyone to see as it helps keep the competitive balance. As it stands now, the only players that know how these ratings work are probably the dudes who put in 10,000 hours on this game

Collins busy preparing for his challenge game against Kieran who he spent while day going back and forth with. Nobody else garners a responce, just the guy who’s got banned more than anyone else.

I have put in 10,000 hours and I also don't know.

Hahaha you're not wrong and made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that!

Do hot and cold zones affect gameplay at all?

Good question! I'm gonna add it to the post.

I've added another question myself, about how batter's tendencies influence an at bat

What was the ticket about if you don't mind me asking?

@raesone_psn said in Number of questions about DD mechanics:
How does a batter's tendency influence an at bat precisely? Are the timing windows for example larger on inside pitches, when the batter's tendency is extreme pull?
I think i found the answer to this question. It was on the Extended Q&A write up on the website:
***What affects the timing windows and what causes them to change so frequently from pitch to pitch?
First and foremost, timing windows vary depending on the location of the pitch and pitch type. You won’t want to swing at the same time on an inside fastball as you would on one away. Players in real life and in our game have hit tendencies that can be viewed on each player card; some are great at pulling the ball, some use the entire field well, and other are good and going to the other way. For example, a pull hitter in MLB The Show would have a slightly increased timing window on early swings and a slightly decreased timing window for late swings which can help when trying to turn on a 100mph inside fastball.***

Hoping for an answer to 3 and 5. Solid post, I wish I was this good at voicing what I was trying to get across to others.
Also not to be a [censored], but you seem like a guy who would genuinely want to know, "exactly" is spelt wrong in question number 5.
Edit. Also I've always wondered about question number 9.

Yeah I've read this as well, but this is more sort of an explanation on the mechanic and not the real numbers and metrics behind it, so we can truly understand what it does and how it works.

Ah yes thanks for spotting that one, guess the autocorrect didn't bail me out this time. I have edited it.

Good question! I'm gonna add it to the post.
I was always under the impression that they are strictly for offline modes but once again we don't know. I honestly never pay attention to them. Why would they be there if they do nothing though? Way too many questions about the gameplay outcomes in this game. I actually think sds may not totally know the answers. Ramone explained the pci a couple years ago on a live stream and he was totally winging it. It was like he was speaking in three different languages, all three of which he wasn't fluent in.
