The game is not fun because of the hitting
-
I have never worried about my pitching . I thought last year's game was a pitching simulator. This year I have never given up so many hits, runs and homers. It's crazy. It takes my full attention which it should but the people I have mostly played online are hitting with no problem. Especially down and away in the dirt. I don't know how many painted sliders or cutters I have put in the lower corners outside the zone to get them blasted out . I would have to look but I was around a 1.7 era last year I bet I'm a 5 or something now.
I'm hoping these goons ranked up and go to their sweaty paradise and leave us scrubs alone.

I don’t think being able to hit pitches on the corners would be considered “sweaty”.

I meant more in the dirt.
Whatever I ain't complaining I love the game just trying to adapt.

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…
Better "than"
most? -

It's way easier to complete the BR program that you are giving yourself credit for. Completing the BR program gives no one any idea of your skill level at all

Couldn’t disagree more. Hitting feels great to me. Most realistic feedback we’ve had in a while I think. But every year half the community hates the game or something about it, so it is what it is.

Heres an idea....set it to casual, beginner and mash away.
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.
Where did you put it to casual? I thought DD had to be competitive. I tried switching it and it still shows competitive.
I saw that too, so it may all be mental lol, maybe i'm just getting nore use to the difficulty

Then why couldn’t most people earn him? Way to many fan boys circle jerking on these forums and it’s always the same trolls gate keeping on how the game is played, skill, etc

Most people could earn him. No one is just bothered to play BR in November and have a million stubs to burn. Someone can earn the BR rewards while winning less than 10 games with time. There are also alot of offline players that wanted him
-
I usually win about 3-6 br games in a run

How many years have you been playing? It is significantly easier to earn flawless players since they implemented the BR program. Before the program was a thing those players prices would be almost 1 million stubs. Now you can get them for 100k.

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.
Have you played real baseball? It's not supposed to be easy.

When I first started playing it 5 days ago I felt the same way, I usually use strike zone high or 2 or 3. Switched to Strike Zone and it made a huge difference . I still strike out more than I had and also have a lot of swings that I thought were good swings end up as poorly hit balls but after switching the hittng cam and basing my PCI placement more on the pitcher's repertoire, I have begun to hit better

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.
Batting Practice is pretty underrated. Try it out before you get into some games and see how it works out, man.

And yet here you are saying hitting is too hard while myself ( a 46 year old man with bad eyes adjusting to progressive lenses as we speak) is online booty clapping people

Are you referring to online H2H or vs CPU?
There is a big difference in hitting in online RS H2H vs CPU content (ie Moments, Showdown, Conquest, etc.). SDS likes to tinker with the Sliders in vs CPU modes in order to make that content more challenging (or frustrating) to grind.
-
Minus the reduction in homers, I love the new hitting structure.
-
I love the new card collecting format. I happy with the hitting. I think it’s the best version of the game since ‘17. It’s still early but so far so good.
-
Why do you think SDS released all these high diamonds? It’s to hide that hitting isn’t fixed.
