    Timing was added for a reason….to help players compete with zone players without using zone.

    No other UT game offers different options for online play….everyone has to do what everyone else is….why can’t this game do the same or match up players using the same interface…it’s really not that bad of an idea.

    Logic.

    Except NHL does

    NHL does not offer an interface that lets you shoot the puck with the push of a single button. There’s different ways to aim/shoot the puck is all. NHL doesn’t aim your shot for you or let you rely on RNG.

    Yep; you can use square to snap/hold square to slap. You have 3 input types, including the 3 buttons one but that's like playing naked...

    Edit: well, if you edit and move the goal posts....

    Coming from him, I’m not surprised. He whines all day long and makes up stories that can’t possibly be verified.

    Why was feedback removed? It was inaccurate? Interesting…so if that’s the case, your opponents last year didn’t really get perfect/perfect cause the feedback was inaccurate. Interesting ain’t it….logic.

    Lol nobody gives a Fk about you and your friend testing feedback and it being “accurate”. Nobody. No matter how many hundreds times you bring that [censored] up NOBODY CARES. You hover at 750 because that’s where you’ve hovered for years.

    Your using timing for the exact same reason, on the search for some excuse to why everyone else can crack 900 but you can’t. On here on a fake account talking about being able to win everything and anything whenever you want but when I look up Greenbuk7 I see differently. I see mediocrity.

    Typical response to a question you don’t want to answer lol. Maybe people need to stop saying it was removed cause it was inaccurate until it’s been confirmed by SDS themselves…conventionally they don’t want to answer that.

    Also, where did I say I win everything/anything whenever I want….show me homeboy.

    I hover around 750-850 with Timing against sweaty zone players who have to do twice as much as me….sound like legit gameplay to you?

    NHL does not let you both aim/shoot with one button…you still have to do both separately. You haven’t answered my questions in the previous thread btw….conventionally.

    I asked what question; point me to the thread

    It was someone else’s question. Show me in NHL where you can aim/shoot simultaneously with one button. I play that game every year and haven’t seen it.

    Of course it’s typical, I just told you NOBODY gives a [censored] about you and Bill in a party chat talking about how accurate the feedback was.
    How did that go? Mines kinda low homeboy where’s yours homeboy? Oh mines kinda low and too the right homeboy. OMG HOMEBOY MINES THE SAME ITS ACCURATE!!!

    You seem to think people don’t read your [censored] homeboy, we just laugh and move on homeboy, so here’s is you running your mouth about winning [censored] you haven’t in years.

    “6 years playing online, thousands upon thousands of games, earned every thing possible (WS/12-0) multiple times….and there’s still times I want to pull my hair out in frustration with the way this game tries it’s hardest to keep your opponent relevant during the game.

    Simulation to a point is fine, but when that simulation has more control than the player….it’s gone too far. You have to play your opponent and the Sim/RNG at the same time.

    And think, he’s going to whine and cry about this game all year while continue to play it daily. He will then say during the off-season that he won’t buy 23. Finally, within a week of the release he will buy 23 and get right back to whining and crying about the same things he cried about in 22 and probably every other prior year when he used his primary account. In the end, he needs someone to listen to him. He needs attention. He’s not getting it at home so he comes here instead. It’s borderline pathetic.

    Was Zone guy since The show released on ps2. Switched to directional a few years back. Haven't looked back. The whole RNG argument - well Zone is just as RNG imo and Baseball as a sport is total RNG.

    How does everybody feel about timing?!
    It's what the misinformed thought Directional was-- just swing away!

    At least with Directional, you needed a plan: Hit it on the ground with Lofton, lock and load with the power guys, opposite field with Boggs.

    It was situational baseball.

    Now, a blind man can hit .399 if his buddy just yells, "Swing!" at the right time.

    Who knew baseball was this easy!

    You are SO TERRIBLY wrong ! A blind man can hit .399avg ALONE just by randomly tap contact swing hitting slider outside in the dirt with a 34⁰ bat angle and exit velo of 176mph off a broken bat, that's what I call a normality. So from now on you'll give them 100$ every year and be a good costumer stop being constructive or logic and tap the fockin contact swing bottom ! Let's goooo !

    Why does everyone act like timing is new?

    Because it is.

    While Directional and (the former) Pure Analog hitting methods have timing aspects built in, they are each different. In Directional, you can manipulate the direction of the ball, somewhat. While in PA, you had to flick up the right analog stick to the side of the plate where the pitch went (L, M, R). Timing Hitting does not have these features. Also, the timing windows for Directional and PA were considerably shorter than in Zone. I have not read/heard if there are different timing windows this year, based on the different methods of hitting.

    There was no directional flipping aspect to analog. Just trying to push a narrative to rile people up.

    Did you never once read the game manual?

    Yes, I read the manuals in past years and this year, did you? There was "directional flicking" with PA. You could still make contact sometimes by just flicking straight up, but flicking to the location of the pitch got you better contact, especially on higher levels with the smaller PCI.

    This did/does not apply to Zone plus Analog, however. In Zone plus Analog you just flick up for normal swing, hold back then up for power swing, and flick to the side for contact swing.

    That’s why the game will force pitches more into the zone…regardless of user input. Just sit back and wait for it.

    Also, contact swing to keep fouling them off until the game gives you a good one.

    I hover around 750-850 with Timing against sweaty zone players who have to do twice as much as me….sound like legit gameplay to you?

    You can't prove that, and based on your post history I have no real reason to believe you.

    Of course I can't prove that you are lying so we are kind of stuck in that no mans land that you seem to be with others, where you argue with others and nobody convinces anyone of anything.

    Next you'll be claiming you went 12-0 in BR using timing.

    How does everybody feel about timing?!
    It's what the misinformed thought Directional was-- just swing away!

    At least with Directional, you needed a plan: Hit it on the ground with Lofton, lock and load with the power guys, opposite field with Boggs.

    It was situational baseball.

    Now, a blind man can hit .399 if his buddy just yells, "Swing!" at the right time.

    Who knew baseball was this easy!

    If you do not understand how zone/pci gives you a major advantage in H2H then you're doing it wrong.
