    Are you using pin point? I use classic. It's not me it's the game. Thx for the negativity.

    i use Meter for years, just pitched a beauty shutout game in RS with Al Leiter on AS around the 500's

    My dude, I just threw back to back GEMS giving up 1 run in 18 innings with Mussina and Jobe spotting almost anything and everything. On All Star.

    It's not the game. It's you.

    It most definitely can be the game sometimes. When you get 27 good swings and only 7 of them landed for hits that’s busted yet my opponent had 11 good swings and 5 for hits. Only won 7-6 in 10 innings, the game can definitely be unfair when it wants to.

    I guess some of you can't read. I used timing with Devers, cutter down the middle, near perfect timing, swing and a miss. If the game wasn't broken at least I'd make contact. I used CONTACT swing with 2 strikes. If you say using timing the CPU would determine if it's a hit or in play as an out then the CPU or ai whatever is specifically designed to force players to use PCI. It tells me it's rigged.
    I am not trying to fricken get to world series, not an I trying to blow out the opponent. I am saying REWARD your player with something if you did everything correct. If I hit a can of corn or ground ball out, fine. But don't tell me that I should swing and MISS. That's bs.

    This happened to other hitters too.

    As far as classic pitching, last ranked season using Maddox I pitched back to back complete game shut outs. I could fine the zone and get the player to chase. The fact I couldn't find the zone and nothing went where I wanted it in the new season tells me alot. That the game is rigged.

    If you have a good pitcher with the best stats, why can't you perform well in ranked.

    Even PCI pitchers miss the zone sometimes. Classic should as well. There has had to be a higher chance of missing your target on classic sure. But 99% missing in the new ranked compared to 99% hitting your spots in the previous seems a bit rediculous. But RNG will be RNG.

    I play to have fun, not destroy the competition.

    I think you are confusing random rng with intentional rigging against you. It's not rigged, if you want to rely on RNG (especially on the pitching side), you are going to have absolutely dominant games and then also ones where nothing goes your way. That's not rigged, that's just what RNG is

    Yeah, everyone I play hits the black consistently. Even a 2 strike approach will leave you 0-2 in the count.

    You are so right on this. You better be very consistent or you will be subject to RNG madness. Consistency separates the good from average players.

    Any time you use anything other than zone as a hitter and pinpoint as a pitcher you are putting yourself at the mercy of attributes and, I would guess, much more prominent RNG.

    Those are the most challenging interfaces to use, but they give you the most control and reward you most often on good input.

    I recently had shoulder replacement surgery and got bored so I set it to timing and classic so I could play with 1 hand. I only played against the computer on rookie but classic is terrible. The only way I could throw strikes consistently was to aim down the middle and even then it wasn't a great strike percentage. I normally use pure analog which works great for me. I imagine any other setting will beat classic.
