Hitting is Just Insane
-
I just got beaten by a player that was better than me.
No worries.
But I really wanted to ask him what hitting interface he was using (couldn't because his settings wouldn't allow).I wish I would have recorded it.
Clase vs. Seager, I threw him 10 consecutive cutters in that were so far in that they were almost in the dugout!
I was laughing, and he had to be too. He fouled every one off.My man hit a curve that bounced for a double.
I would say zone, but not even zone is that insane.
Hitting is just really weird this year.
How can you slice a fastball at your head for a bloop single to left?
Is the contact swing still a thing, like last year?
This game is... confusing.

What do you mean his settings would allow him? Or do you mean he has messaging turned off?

Messaging turned off.

Game is just not good. You have to realize that more games are going to be closer or you are going to get beat more than you're used too. I'm a WS player and lost 2 games in the 450 range. I couldn't get anything to fall including 4 straight good/1 just early in the PCI with Delgado for no hits. Game will drive you nuts if you let it. It is to the point where it is hard to play very many games when I get home. I can usually play more on the weekend when I'm medicated.

I went hard on the game last year playing 4+ hours a day as a student but now working full time man there is so many more important things to focus on. All star difficulty events smoking bombs with players I like gets me all the dopamine I need from the game in the small amount of time I play now

This is what I do now, I also play mini seasons a lot more. Ranked just makes me mad because of how much bailing out there is for bad hitters, when they stop punishing good input in the name of real life stats & sim then I’ll play more.

zone if you can predict where your opponent is throwing the ball you can take almost any pitch and knock it over the wall

I cant even be happy when a ball leaves when I have terrible input because I know im gonna have 10 good/good lazy flyouts that should be 450 foot hrs

This is it right here. The "stats" that SDS rolls out to defend hitting don't take this into account very well.

Do you guys prefer events over Ranked because it doesn’t keep track of your record? I’ve never understood why there is such a difference in stress between ranked and events. People care about their record way too much in this game for some reason.

If there was no rating and no expensive reward for ranked it wouldnt be as stressful. Also the time invested into a single 9 inning game puts alot on the line. You're essentially playing for your happiness in those late inning. With events there very little on the line and alot less time invested

I definitely get the time commitment part. But why does rating or expensive reward matter if you’re not even going to play it because of those things? I don’t play ranked for rating or rewards. I just play it because I like the strategy of a full 9 and I can use any players I want.

The slightly reduced foul ball coverage is working as intended

No, events overall are more rewarding for hitting and pitching. It seems like Ranked Seasons have a different set of sliders and good input success rate is lower, events is more casual IMO.

I’ve never thought sliders were different personally. And again, the casual thing is up to you. You can play any game mode casually.
I don’t even really agree with the casual argument. Some of the biggest try hards I play are in events for some reason. Never understood why.

Its just another stress factor. If you value going for a high rating and earning those cards then it adds stress to those games. Events dont quite have that value

It is easier to take the crazy pitcher confidence/clutch impacted wins/losses in a three inning event game than in a nine inning game. Ranked is just so frustrating when you have a game completely one sided and then out of nowhere it flips in the last inning or two. Sure we can say “that’s baseball”, but we all know this game does crazy stuff in the last few innings of games.

But you aren’t getting that high rating in events either lol.. that’s what doesn’t make sense to me. You’re not getting any rewards or rating if you’re not even playing RS. So how can you say you value those things?

To me, your RS record is kind of like your KDR in a FPS game. I remember being proud of my spinning nuke emblem in COD MW2. Yes that is kind of silly, but competition can do that. I agree with you though, gaming should not be something to stress or worry about.

Bro just read. "If" you value those things, it ends up being stressful playing ranked. "If" you value just having fun hitting nukes and winning low stress games you play events. It's not a tough concept
