People need to chill. Is this game frustrating? Yeah, sometimes.
But to say it’s scripted, or that stick skills don’t matter is nonsense.
If that was the case, everyone would have similar batting averages and similar win/loss records. Clearly, stick skills DO matter, and that’s why some guys win 98% of their games and bat .400. They have stick skills.
It kills me when people who are barely over .500 with a batting average of .210 get on here and say “stick skills don’t matter.” How would you know? You don’t have any stick skills.
Guys who can only square up 2 pitches in an entire game get mad when those swings don’t go for hits. Yeah, that’s frustrating. But if you could get more good swings you’d get rewarded more.
For years, people jumped on this forum every time they gave up a homer on a less than perfect swing and said dumb things about helping “Little Billy.” People said their stick skills didn’t matter, because they lined out more than they liked and gave up an occasional off PCI homer.
So SDS said fine, we will make it so that you have to consistently put good swings on the ball to score runs. And now what? All y’all are finding out that you’ve been Little Billy all along.
And for the record, I am not good at this game. I’m average at best. I’m just disappointed because the game has been changed to make hitting harder for everyone. The result has been that the elites are still the elites, they’re just scoring less. The average guys are still average, and they’re scoring less. And the bums are the bums, and they aren’t scoring at all.
I’ve long argued that hitting is too hard across the board. I stand by that. But I’ve never said that skills don’t matter.
Every time y’all take a loss, you need to look inward and admit you most likely didn’t swing the bat well consistently. Learn to take a loss, and stop exaggerating how good you are in this game.

Lmao you took time out of your day to write this???

Yep. I was on the john.

I agree, but people whine and feel entitled…especially on the internet. I hope they don’t whine this much IRL. Life has got to be very difficult if so.

These people get rewarded a lot and still complain.
Just yesterday I put 5 swings from Delgado with 4 being good timing almost perfect fly area and another just early. Got zero hits out of it. That is not rewarding stick skills.

It is very much a tragedy that you don't get a hit with a new card within its first five ABs!

Yes, they do. But they’re still dominating. So they are doing something better than the rest of us. If it’s not stick skills, what is it?

Those weren't my first 5 ab's with that card. Another clueless response for you.

Good players with magic internet. Move that server from Florida to Kentucky and see how fast pitching_rebel falls. He would quit the game in a week.

That’s it? I don’t know, man. I think there has to be something more to it than that.

Not saying he wouldn't be a good player but I would bet my house he wouldn't go 100-5. Those games you have where you can react and everything is going your way, those are every time for these top players. I watch OhChev all the time and he rarely talks about warping pitches. He sees them but not even close to as frequent as I do.
