Pinpoint Pitching is discrimination
-
Pinpoint pitchings “rewards” are discriminatory. A persons choice of pitching style, whether it’s chosen by choice or necessity, should all have the same results across all input styles for perfect, good, and late releases regardless of the pitching style. Some people could have physical handicaps that won’t allow them to use certain input methods. Pitching stamina should not be affected by an input method. Most of us can use pinpoint (it’s actually too easy for the perks) without any issue but there are a lot of people in the community that are put at a disadvantage because of their real life disadvantages.

Ignorance!

My only comment will be that each input type has ranges for what you are describing as "perfect".
It's hardly discrimination for taking classic and rewarding every pitch as if it was perfect. There are people that likely use pinpoint that don't see a perfect in a week's gameplay.
In my personal opinion, I think SDS does a better job than most game companies and have multiple user input methods for hitting and pitching that take into account ADA requirements. IIRC, they also have stuff for color blindness.
Removing perfect "buffs" from a more difficult input method, is actually reverse discrimination in the eyes of some.

Classic would be the exception. A pitchers stamina should not be affected by the input mode. Stamina should only be affected by number of pitches thrown in relation to their stamina attribute.

explainThere are 5 pitch types:
PPP
Meter
Analog
Pulse
Classic
2 require use of sticks and 3 require push button. PPP and Meter have already been proven to be two most accurate in accordance to user input in competitive mode. 1 of each type. So discrimination? Not even close. All pitch types are available anywhere throughout the rest of the game.
You used physical handicap as part of your statement in defense so not sure what your point was to that. You want voice activation pitching? There is something for everyone and you have to practice with whichever you choose just like hitting types and fielding types. Just think your saying SDS is being discrimitory was way off base, (no pun intended) b/c that means for someone to be left out. And i just think that statement was proposterus.
-
It’s a video game that relies on hand-eye coordination. For you to call that discrimination is some ultimate woke [censored].
-
I can't handle PPP myself and prefer classic.
That being said, calling SDS discriminatory is rediculous. I enjoy using classic and timing. That's my choice. It's more fun for me. So players who mastered the other forms better then me? Probably. But I've beaten players who use PPP and PCI. Even if I get destroyed and frustrated, I still have fun.
That being said, I think hitting homers in this game is way to easy for masters. To deal with that just make sure you're not pitching predictably.
All in all I'll never get to 1200 in ranked. I'm ok with it

you are using woke in a negative way which is not the original meaning behind the term. this dude is simply wrong in his assessment, please don't tie his foolishness to a term that was meant for good.

Also, I have alot of respect for players who are legit good at this game.

"For good" is your opinion though. He is entitled to his.
Try to stay on topic with the OPs topic. -
I liked how Grizz explained it

Try to stay on topic with the OPs topic.lol it is not an opinion. it is a matter of fact. woke means "alert to injustice in society, especially racism." that is not something negative dawg.
it has been twisted and manipulated and people have been using it as a negative which is unfortunate.
-
Keep it to OP topic please
-
lol ok mr. moderator sir.
-
Hey I'm not disagreeing with ya. I just think adding fuel to it isn't productive and off topic. Either way, people tend to overreact.
That being said, I'd like a ranked option for timing and classic only
️ -
Meter pitching >
-
There shouldn’t be stairs, because not everyone can use them. Only ramps and elevators
-
We have the choice to use any of the pitching options knowing there are advantages to using the hardest as it should be.
I am disabled but the reason I use meter still is hitting is so [censored] hard and takes so much focus I’ll use meter bc it’s the easy option
I play at least 500 ranked games each year and my era is always low 4’s
-
Everyone should play like they want, freedom of choice
