    And for the millionth time, my question "If Directional is so easy, why doesn't everybody use it?" goes unanswered.
    I ask the question every year, and no one has an answer. I am laughing.

    as with most it doesnt fit their narrative, so theyd rather choose not to answer and just ignore

    Because some players want to increase they’re RNG luck with zone.

    nflman answered it but I think you’re both on the same side of the argument 🙂

    So can we sorta agree that directional is difficult in it's own way (just like zone), and those who disagree are just ignorant?

    Jimmy: "Mr.McClure, I have a crazy friend who says eating meat is bad. Is my friend crazy?"
    Troy McClure: "No Billy, just ignorant!"

    No not really, it’s still one button. When it comes to video games it can’t possible be any easier than one button. That would be watching video games. It would be arrogant to not accept the fact it’s a percentage based mechanic (luck) on the batters attributes vs pitchers attributes. I’m sure if you play offline with 99 overalls it might seem like you’re improving and getting better at directional but the percentages are just more in your favour meaning you don’t need to be as lucky. Directional is Basically Yahtzee and directional offline with 99s is heads or tails.

    Zone really isn’t all that advanced either, one button plus aiming. This game should have switched over to a Zone/Stride mash up years ago. Aiming where the bat goes while having to make a swing like mechanic is just a ridiculous concept I guess. Power swinging is much more realistic. SDS is stuck in the 90s, it would be arrogant to not see that, they’re about to release a PS4 spec game two years into the PS5 life span. And they’ll release it in 120@4K when the PS6 comes out.

    I’m implying that you just compared directional to zone and said zone is all about RNG. The definition of Directional is 100% reliant on rng. The fact you can’t see this is why you have no credibility with this thread.

    There was an arcade game that did this my local pizza parlor had it back in the 80s-90s. Using the stick to swing was hard as hell. Wasn’t a lot of fun. I can understand SDS not wanting to implement this.

    Isn't life really just one button when all is said and done?
