Anyone else struggling at the plate this year?
-
I feel like I hit better this year than I have the last two years. With that being said, I struggled last night vs Dustin May. Lost 3-2 in a game I should’ve won.
-
Yes. Online and offline. Last update got me all kinds of messed up for sure. I lost a mini season game last night on Veteran. Every perfect/perfect was a line drive out. The PCI location doesn't seem to correlate with the outcome. I hit a HR with the PCI not touching the ball and then a lineout with perfect/perfect.

This. Exactly this. I feel ya. Doesnt make a lot of sense to me. Then you couple this with the fact that the cpu will not chase, this update is hard on the soul.

The CPU will pitch around you on Rookie LOL. They must have gotten tired of us XP and pack farming basically with mini seasons. Used to take 1 game to get a Ballin pack or 5 pack bundles. Take 3 games now.

Ive been no-hit by the CPU 3 times on Rookie this year in mini seasons. I was also high af and swinging at quite literally every pitch in a different zip code.

That's the thing though, since when does the CPU pitch around you so much on Rookie? You should be able to just about swing at everything in rookie and get hits. Not saying you should get a HR every AB on rookie but shouldn't get no hit.

Yes. Thus why I eat out of a bowl.
-
I like it, more of a struggle yes. But hitting is more realistic. You shouldn’t be hitting more then 1 or 2 hrs in a 3 inning game.

I was enjoying hitting and then it’s homerun or busy once again. It’s these [censored] streamers, they cry to SDS , send clips why wasn’t this a homerun and boom it’s a homerun derby once again

It definately seems that making contact on breaking balls is really touchy. Even if I'm barely early or barely late it usually results in a swing and miss or a check swing. Hitting breaking balls should be hard, but I think it would be more realistic if just missing on timing resulted in a poor contact result or foul tip.

I'm squaring more balls than ever this year, but few are dropping.
Lot of perfect perfect outs, but that's baseball, so I'm good with it. -
Nope. I am up 15lbs.
-
I am, but that's because I have inconsistent placement, and always have.
I have good timing, I'd say 80 % of the time, but w/o placement, it means nothing this year. I have found a better way to hold the left analog stick this week, so I'm getting better at placement accuracy.
Playing Events and BR for the first time has me needing to get better! -
Early on, especially during pre-launch, hitting was ridiculous. Now it's much tougher. SO...depending on what comments you are reading...WHEN they were posted makes a difference.
