Fastballs are too quick.

It's a mechanics issue ... period
Yes it is. But not the games mechanics
-
Yes the games mechanics. Some games the window is out of whack some games its not

And now there are 8 upvotes to my original post. Plenty of people agree and more and more are finally getting on here to let it be known, and that's in less than 24 hours. Hmmmm maybe onto something here but the haters will still hate. Anyhow if sds wants our money and others who arentbon here yet to spend more they will have to fix the game first.

Fastballs aren’t too fast ; as mentioned by others the swing timing is the issue. The only people who think there’s an issue are the ones thinking they should be hitting 15 bombs per game in my opinion

If so I should have adjusted because I've played about 15 games since they changed it. But there is just no time to gauge it now
Yeah I'm struggling with the FB also it's like I have to guess when it's coming..I shouldn't have to swing right away on 94mph heater as opposed to a guy throwing in the 100's I'm usually late or very late can't get the timing down or I'm just too old too slow..

Dude your a broken record. It's not going to change the fact there is a problem and a lot of people agree.
Nah there isn't, just have to practice...
I feel like playing 2000 RS games per yer for the last three years plus counts as sufficient practice. The swing timing windows are borked beyond belief. Doesn’t matter if you’re early or late. Pitch speeds aren’t the issue, the timing windows are. It’s ruining online just as much as the low offspeed meta that plagued ‘18.

Yeah dont listen to that guy he is a broken record. Hes so good he can handle any speed and basically is saying f.u. to anyone who can't adjust to what he can.

If I can adjust why can’t you?
-
That’s why it’s called a fastball, not slowball. My only tip for you is to go into custom practice, change the hitting difficulty to like hall of fame and hit against guys like Nolan Ryan or Noah Syndergaard, Guys with the outlier quirk. Once you get the timing down you’ll destroy in online.

Cant believe they made it even harder to hit. Fast balls are unreal. I have to guess to have any chance to hit. They need to fix. Game is no fun right now in DD.
Stop I am not a great hitter but when geared up I am beating 102. The real heat can only be hit if you are sitting red.
-
Just played demo mode while the game is downloading for me. Controlled the hitting team at all times.
12-11 Nats on an absolute walkoff nuke by Kurt Suzuki. Whole game was on hof. I play on a tv.
Sounds like operator error to me.
-
It's not operator error. You just got the game lol. Play for a few days then make an opinion. And plenty of us see there is a problem. You cant always practice and get better when it's a game mechanics error. The game was fine before 1.4 hitting wise. It was a mistake to change
-
And I, and the others that recognize the problem, dont need a tip, dont need more practice, we only need the game mechanic to be fixed. Some of us have been playing the game for years and recognize when something has been ruined. We have thousands of games logged and know when its broke.
-
you are keeping your fight alive, brother
-
He’s persistent that’s for sure lol
-
If the game is so broke why are people still having success year after year in online? There are occasional wtf moments, but good players still overcome this.

Don't need more practice lol need the game to be catered to you, gotcha

I was 14-0 to start raked seasons till I reached wild card or when I reached all star but maybe it’s putting me on hof bc whenever I play someone rated 700 or higher if I’m 600-700 I feel my pci is smaller and pitch speeds feel faster but I always thought the difficulty is decided by the lower rated player?
-
I cant hit fastballs this year almost impossible. I cant pitch either. I can have perfect release on a ball way closer to the middle of the plate than on the black and it still goes like 3 feet out the strike zone. So dumb.
-
I think this thread comes down to:
Do I want to play and get better at the game, or just blame the game makers for making the game more challenging? Playing on BR after making my RS run made it feel like I could get perfect/perfect feedback pretty consistently. It’s to the point now I hardly notice the clunky timing on all star.
At the end of the day you have 2 options: adapt or quit.
