All of a sudden I can't hit...at all
-
I’m having trouble hitting too. It just feels so off. Even worse than 2018 in my opinion.
It’s crazy because day 1 this game was rewarding.
-
Doesn't matter. I hit well and lose games to guys 2-1, when they hit bombs on "okay/early" or back to back doubles on "very early / rolled". Just play a lot and the game will reward you for your poor play.

Had to log on after reading all these comments.
Ditto on all of this. I can barely scrape together 5 hits in a 9 inning game anymore.
I strike out with Trout, ground out with Reggie, I’m not even excited when alomar or gleyber come up to bat anymore.
Oh and that stupid 89 Gallo card that I grinded 8 hours for...he’s hitting .089, how can you make contact with that [censored] vision?
Needless to say this game has been miserable to play the past few days. Just foul balls, Ks, and pitchers duels until someone is granted a good/early HR by the SDS gods.
I’m literally done with Zone hitting, nothing will make me go back. Even when I get perfect perfect it doesn’t seem to help so why bother trying to have my mind control 2 things at once.
I’ve heard decent things about analog hitting, so I’m gonna try it. Honestly it can’t be worse that zone for me and I figure at the very least, it will be more enjoyable since I can just focus on the timing of the pitch.
Any YouTube videos on analog hitting? Can’t find any.

I switched from SZ to Zoom hitting view and it helped a bit. Still though, it's a [censored] s--tshow these days
-
I get "Good/Okay" constantly on balls that are in the inside PCI. I'm starting to wonder what the PCI even means at this point. I assumed getting the ball inside the center PCI meant good contact. Apparently it does not. Which leads me to wonder what exactly qualifies as Good or Perfect contact if it's not getting the ball in the center ring.
-
Game plays like [censored]. Hard af to square up and when you do you get good okay feedback, pitches go wherever they feel like and diamond outfielders just let the ball smash them straight in the face. I’m close to saying 18 was better except I hated the content more than I’ve ever hated anything in my life.
-
I just scored 2 in an all star game against Ohtani. I have scored more than that in most of my event games.
-
I’m in the same boat. Can’t hit to save my life in RS (on HOF). The weird thing is that I’m hitting fine in Events.

Don’t you hate when the ball is the middle and it’s says okay contact ? Lol and when your pci is barely on the ball and it says good ? Hahaha
-
I still believe speeds were raised as well. The feedback isn’t making sense right now, most every swing is good okay no matter where I’m the pci the ball is. My online batting average has dropped from .340 to .270.
-
Patience is the key. Move the PCI less and look for meatballs down the middle. If you have to move the PCI as far as it will go you likely won’t be hitting the ball well anyway.
-
I'm starting to wonder if there's something going on with my connection. I was 8-3 and since then I've lost 7 straight. Back to regular season which I think should be on veteran, right? And I'm still getting blown away by fastballs. I dont know what's going on. I'm bad, but I'm not this bad.
-
Im TOO Early on fastballs and then somehow VERY Late on offspeed, games a shitshow
-
All experienced Show players know that u always have ur good days and bad days. Sometimes u have to step away from it and get ur mind and eyes right. Ever notice somedays ur crushing it and then one day u cant catch the fastball everything seems so [censored] fast and untouchable?
Its the strain and exhaustion if the eyes
I bought gunner gamer glasses and let me tell you its a game changer -
I can't hit either.
Hitting some good and okays, but almost always an out.
I've switched from strike zone to offset zoom and strike zone 3, but no real luck. Switched between monitor and a tv on game mode with a wired connection and I'm still late on mid to high 90s fastballs.
I'm just depressed at this point with playing the game. Took a break for a day or two and played something else.
Came back and still can barely manage a run a game.
I'm thinking of giving directional another go. I know zone gives you the most control and is supposed to make you the most competitive, but I'm close to quitting this game completely at this point.

I recently turned 35 and I guess I'm just at that age where I can't consistently hit the fastball. I have to sell out for it. I'm even late at times on AS which just blows my mind. I guess I need to hit the virtual practice field and face Chapman for an hour.
Current RS record is 23-2 and it is the most misleading record out there. Last night I wore an L in 13 innings facing Vida/Kluber/Hal. So basically everyone threw 100 with nasty secondary pitches. I scored 3 runs in the 1st inning then proceeded to score 0 over the next 12. I even managed to not score with bases loaded and 0 outs in the bottom of the 11th.
I absolutely suck. I have to completely sell out for fastballs and even when I'm looking for them I'm late. I don't know if there's a solution because then everyone will crush the ball. I just have to get better/practice.
I might stack my lineup with all RHB or switch hitters though. Lefty/lefty I just can't hit on HOF.

when I heard about the outlier quirk I took the time to practice against the high velo guys with this quirk on hall of fame and legend.

Same here. Average player. Have always had a winning record, still technically do but only because I’m probably above average in pitching. I can’t hit a [censored] thing right now. Swing and missing at balls in the zone way more than ever. I feel like something has changed with the timing or something. Idk I’ll keep plugging away hopefully I’ll figure it out.
-
Something has definitely changed. Before patches 1.04 and 1.05 I was 8-3 in RS and right around .500 in the last event. I was getting hits and scoring runs, even if i lost.
The last week or so i cant hit anything, I've fallen back to regular season in ranked and i still cant hit anything.
For the first time since I started DD in 17 I'm about to quit playing, it's just not fun anymore.
-
Something changed in Events for sure. I've had so many 5,6, hell even a 9 inning events 1-0 game! LOL.
I'm late on sliders now that I could always at least foul off.
