My biggest problem w this game is that zone hitting can hit home runs on balls way out of the kzone
-
If you do make contact there it should be a single, not a home run. There should be a penalty for swinging out of the zone.

I’ve seen many homeruns on wtf swings irl, most famous one I can think of is puig game 5 2017

Why? If they get the bat on the ball with good timing it should be a hit/home run/ hard hits out or whatever. The strike zone is t some magical wall that makes the ball harder to hit outside of it. If you wanted to say foul balls are crazy sure but hits outside the strike zone are a thing.

Vlad says swinging at balls in the zone is for chumps.

If Vlad can reach it, its in the zone.

It just looks weird in this game because they don’t have enough animations for good swings out of the zone. IRL players will lunge or drop to a knee or really extend their arms or fall back, etc.
In mlb 22 you just get stock swing for the most part. They seem to have way way more varied animations for swing and misses than swings for pitches thrown out of the zone.

Sorry OP, but any criticism of the hitting in this game will be met with the garbage you see above me.
"That's baseball. I've seen one of the best players in the world hit one out of the zone 5 years ago, therefore it should happen in every online game."

But it IS baseball....and it's not just Vlad.
Here's a 4 minute compilation of homeruns on garbage pitches...

And heres another 7 minutes of absolute trash being hit for extra bases.

Just because you dont see it in every game, doesnt mean that its not happening in every game.

Ok again, we have 10 minutes worth of videos from the past 20 year of baseball. I can give you a 20 minute video of these hits from 1 day of playing this game.
-
I would say a good chunk of hits IRL are out of the zone. PCI should definitely shrink more going out of the zone though.

What % of ABs in a year result in such hits? I'd wager its less than half a percent in MLB.
In TS22, we probably see one a game lol

I have no issue with hits out of the zone in the game... that is baseball. My issue is the inconsistencies of online play from game to game. I can play a 9 inning game and get good or perfect timing and dead center of my pci location 20x that game and barely muster a run and watch my opponents hitting HR late on balls outside the zone. There is literally no consistency in the game at all, I like the game... but online can be maddening at times. I lost a RS game last night where my opponent had 3 straight garbage hits (bloops on bad timing) and then finally hits a grand slam... the grand slam was good hitting, but why do I get no bloops in the whole game then my opponent gets 3 straight.

FFS, kid....im not going through Youtube posting every video because someone got a bloop single in your precious RS game. Find them yourself, there are plenty.
Unless of course, you'd rather sit in here crying over a game.

They for sure need to make contact on pitches outside of the zone result in outs FAR more frequently. As it stands swing out of the zone is a hit 1 out of ten times or a foul/redo 8 out of ten times.
OP is saying you should be rewarded for swing at hittable pitches and he is correct, but not because it’s in the zone, because they made it so you are not penalized for bad pci placement and timing out of the zone. In the zone if you F up pci placement it is a weak out.

Lol kid? Who's crying? You are making an illogical argument and have chosen to resort to insults. Sounds like you're being the child. It's cool man.

I think we can all agree they need to do something about the foul balls. I also think they need to improve on the 'dynamic PCI' so that it actually shrinks when you go out of the zone. I think however if you square a ball up you square a ball up regardless of if it's in the zone. I don't think good PCI placement on balls out of the zone should be nerfed.

You would think so, but no. The players who rely on trash hits and foul balls can't wait to defend this game.

Lol I never said every swing, I just said some swings can. I never defend this game, but to say out of the zone swings can’t result in hits is delusional. Game isn’t great, but don’t sub at me while trying to make a point.
