    Literally hall of fame and up is miserable in 21. Don’t know how many non pci homeruns I’ve seen, yet my Tyler O’Neill squares one up near perfect for a flyout not even in the 100mph range

    They could have Mike Trout's taint as the cover and my dumb brain will pre order the game.

    Because you're an idiot...

    Exactly. And I can't say no to Mike Trout's taint.

    I don’t think that have the rights to it though…..

    They need to take out RNG. No reason for someone to hit a homer when the ball is completely outside the inner circle. And the PCI contact shows 11 for it.

    This game cannot exist without RNG, the stats themselves on cards are RNG, Mike Trout has more power then Amed Rosario, that power means that when good contact is made, Trout has more of a chance to hit a home run then Amed. That's what a lot of RNG is, it's not actually "random", it's percentages and stats.

    When good contact is not made, and still goes for a homer, do you call that poor coding or too much RNG? I'm not talking about putting a good swing on the ball, that's fine. But it's when the game tells you when a poor swing will result in a better than expected result. I'm only referring to homeruns. I know a bad swing can result in a swinging bunt or a flare over the infield.

    To much RNG, that wasn't the point of my post, I was not defending off pci home runs, I was pointing out that removing RNG is essentially removing the game. You specifically said "They need to take out RNG"

    Sounds like they should just make certain cards more buffed than others. I think that's how they do it with guns in Call of Duty. I think that would take away the RNG section. Or am I wrong about that?

    You are wrong, to buff something in MLB means giving them more favorable percentages, as I said before, the stats on cards themselves are RNG. Having Eddie Murray have 100 power means he has a higher percentage chance of a good swing leaving them David Fletcher, and that is due to RNG.

    It really isn't comparable to CoD where guns are more or less static. I just shoot at somebody, I'm not swinging at a slider away, or a fastball up, there are a lot more physics things to take into account.

    This is what a game without any RNG would look like. No matter who you swing with, the outcome is the same. Ronald Acuna Jr and Tommy Edman would have the same power because if they took identical swings it would be the same result.

    Maybe that's the game you want, which is fine. Not really my cup of tea though.

    Couldn't SDS adjust or make sliders for each player? If Acuna had 100 power rating, I would think they can make his power slider higher than Edman. Theoretically, that would give Acuna a better chance of hitting a homerun. I know we have a slider setting we can adjust ourselves for the entire gameplay. In COD, each gun has a damage rating, and the devs adjust it from time to time based on how many shots it takes to kill someone. Not sure if you play COD or not to understand that part.

    Why Tommy Edman? Why you gotta hate on Tommy? J/k, I agree with all of what you are saying.

    Though that Tommy Edman postseason card is cracked.

    Hate to break it to you, but those sliders you can adjust, are also just adjusting RNG. You are literally adjusting the percentages (aka what a lot of rng is, percentages)

    And I play CoD alot, got the KG m40 up to lvl 44 right now, love it's accuracy, definitely a bit heavy.

    I feel like you are seriously misunderstanding what RNG actually is, it's not only negative things like off pci home runs or bloopers, it's way more then that.
