    This game needs a serious readjustment to the hitting mechanics it is way too difficult now. As someone who grinded all year and got every card minus Mantle this scale of difficulty will not bold well for more casual players and has taken away from the enjoyment of the game. The content and changes to the defense stats actually meaning something have been great.

    It’s difficult but I’m a fan. Finished the Event to 25W and BR and while my batting average is lower still putting up a few runs per game. Just not getting rewarded for poor PCI placement like we did last year.

    I’m not getting rewarded for my good hits which is even more frustrating. The average or casual player won’t see it as rewarding they will see it as something that’s not worth their time. Trust me this game will be in trouble without changes.

    Game will manage just fine. It feels like there's a lot more user input and a lot less RNG. That's how it should be.

    I did just that today, became so much better, well i set it to casual at least. Casual/All Star, started crushing every pitch. LS Acuna is a home run machine for me now.

    Practice and get better. I documented my early struggles in other posts,but to summarize, I spent the first couple of CQ maps winning on my pitching,typically going to extras and getting 2-3 hits a game.my pci wasn't close and while I did get a lot of goods my timing was terrible.
    Fast forward 5 days and I'm getting 60%+hard contact a game and putting up 4-6 runs a game or more,just almost perfected mini seasons and about to sweep the playoffs.
    Yes,hitting is much more difficult this year, but if you "Git GuD" it's the best it's ever been

    The game is way more realistic this year and people that are not good are mad because their miles off the pci very late swings no longer get rewarded. End of story.

    That’s awesome guys I can’t wait until you’re all moaning at the end of June that nobody is playing like you all did last year.

    I was decent enough to earn 99 Trout last year no problem. So I feel comfortable in saying that I’m probably better then most people…

    Thank you sir, there is a big difference between hitting being difficult and SDS rewarding bad input, they have taken the crutches away from some players

    Where did you put it to casual? I thought DD had to be competitive. I tried switching it and it still shows competitive.

    Hitting is harder, but I'm still enjoying it a lot. I'm definitely not really good in this game, but good swings are mostly awarded and bad ones mostly are not, feels fine for me.
    Maybe perfect/perfect swings should have a little bit better results, feels like lot more are outs than it should be. But I have no data about it, so we will see, if some tweaks will come.
    In general, I love 23 much more than last year and I'm having a blast playing 👍
