    I really think you need to stop playing... I'm honestly getting concerned for your health

    Very easily I can tell after 1st inning is played. If the person I ma playing just is able to make contact with EVERYTHING I am throwing, regardless of location & speed. Also if I can NOT even make contact on ANYTHING he is throwing me. I can easily see I am out classed & out matched. That person has better skills with PCI placement & swing timing. As well he has better pitching skills with hitting his planned target area & mixing his speeds greatly. He shows he has an actual pitching strategy & NOT just throwing whatever & hoping it will be a swing & miss or an easy pop-up or weak grounder. Getting matched with players that good are a nightmare for me. I just quit. Not ashamed to say it.

    Pure programming. Making sure contact is made to prolong an AB which is basically manufactured dramatics.

    Why would this game reward somebody for that many bad swings? A dev won't touch that question with a 10 foot pole. If there is no leveling of the playing field or DDA then what the heck is that?

    Just had a RS game freeze in the second inning.

    In the first inning I hit a line drive single with the bases loaded and all my runners were frozen…couldn’t move them with any button for an inning ending double play.

    Combine the glitches with the gameplay you are describing and yikes.

    And then the next game, the game blesses me with every swing. As if it's like "oh we screwed you over last game when you were on a run, let us make it up to you at 0-0".

    And then the real issue with foul balls is it kills pitcher confidence which equals death

    Yes, unlike you I don't lack comprehensive skills. As I explained it is not on topic. I'm starting to think I'm being too harsh on you by treating you as a normal thinking individual because clearly you're special.

    This may be my biggest disappointment in the game this year. I thought it was beyond terrible last year and thought for sure they would improve it. I didn’t expect it to be perfect, but just a slight improvement. However, it seems to be way worse than last year.

    Last year if I got desperate enough I could move my analog stick all the way below the zone and if they couldn’t lay off, they would swing and miss. This year I have those pitches fouled off with regularity. Ability to foul off these pitches does not improve the game at all…it just teaches people that they do not have to have any patience at the plate whatsoever…myself included.

    This was FOFT K. Tucker against LS Scherzer and his 82 K/9

    https://ibb.co/fnDB5sM

    It is simply disgusting, I gave up a double off a hanging pitch

    I do need help. From the devs, to fix this abomination of a game. Other than that I'm actually doing quite well but I appreciate your concerns "stinky".
