My Unpopular Opinion to Fix Hitting
-
I agree wholeheartedly with the first three paragraphs. However, I don't think forcing everyone to play with the same camera view is the solution. Fortnite did something similar and the competitive community was pissed.
Instead, I think they should revert hitting to the way it was before, but make the PCI a little smaller so its harder to get those perfect results. Right now, at least on all star difficulty, the PCI is pretty big for most decent hitters, so of course its easy to square a ball up. The solution should be to make it harder to place the PCI perfectly, not to make it so perfectly placed PCIs are not rewarded
Oh, and pitching should also be based on user skill. The amount of hangers over the middle of the plate is another huge contributing factor to high scoring games

I mean I am not suggesting everyone has to use the same camera, which ironically people pretty much are now, just that these ultra unrealistic strike zone cameras are a problem.
Pitching is obviously a big problem as well, as I mentioned. The devs are definitely stuck in this make everything random to keep the numbers where we want them to be loop.

Terrible idea. If everybody hits better using strike zone, I urge you to do the same.

Your ability to comprehend what you read is quite low huh?
I urge you to try to read it again, maybe slower if that helps, because it seems as if this went way over your head.

I miss MLB 13 the show, when it actually took skill to be a top player. Now all these streamers that stack up their teams early on are considered “top players”. Until next year, when this game goes universal, don’t expect anything to get better.

I just read it again, twice, and despite you using a lot of words for whatever point it is you want to make, it seems as if you're clearly saying that strike zone camera makes people recognize pitches better and turn into Joey Votto. You back this assumption up by saying you don't enjoy the camera, for the fact that you can't see your hitter. So I assume you're anti strike zone camera. And then you say they should introduce an event where hitting cameras are locked to see the results.
Is it really that weird I'm concluding that you want an event where strike zone is not the camera that's being forced on us due to your earlier arguments?

I mean, maybe next time use lesser words to make a point and if not, don't get angry when people misinterpret your message.

No you made the typical lame online message board assumption that since my post contained a bit of a complaint/issue with the game, that I lost a game because of the issue Im referring to.
Nowhere in my post did I even say what camera I use, again you made an assumption based on your own preconceived thoughts.
You see when adults have discussions/debates, intelligent people like to think of peoples counterpoints to their own points and address them at the outset. It seems you were the only one that couldnt figure out what I was saying.
The hilarious thing is, I took a brief look at your post history and one of your most recent posts says " That being said, Strike Zone is undeniably the way to go in a true competitive setting. If you play casually and presentation is huge for you, that's fine. Use whatever. If you wanna compete and be the absolute best you can be, Strike Zone or maybe SZ 2 or SZ High is preferable."
Maybe since the devs think hitting needed to be nerfed, and theres a camera that everyone admits gives a fairly massive advantage and makes it much easier to hit/recognize pitches, and the use of that camera in the game perfectly coincides with the hitting issues the last few years, that they should look into how the game might play without said camera.
I barely play online because of all the sweaty try hards and the ridiculous ways they try to play baseball. I ten runned a kid the other day it was immensely not fun because of how he tried to play. I really dont care how they make you people play, but seeing that all these [censored] changes they make to hitting impacts us all in each game mode, maybe that should look at actually fixing the sources of the issues instead of just doing the lazy sport video game developer thing and breaking one thing to fix another. Oh hitting is OP? Let me just nerf pitching so balls randomly go over the plate etc.
Sorry about all the words again, next time Ill type like a 13 year old girl using abbreviations and emojis so its easier for some people.

Yeah case and point, I'm not gonna read your whole assessment for the sake of argument. Whatever you said, you were right and I was wrong. It's all good. Enjoy your evening and stay safe.

Yes because I am very dumb as you clearly insinuated. It's also my Friday night after a long week of work, so I really don't wanna be arguing on the internet with a stranger despite your continuous attempts to rattle and insult me.
