    Don't you know his record is so bad only because he always gets matched up against the cheesy directional users?

    Ah yes of course lol how did I not know

    Anyone that "checks a record" is a great human being.

    You're right. We should in no way try to counter BS statements in the forum with actual facts by looking at their game logs.

    I should not say that the player who beat the OP by the score of 14-4 by using directional hitting got smoked by someone else the in their previous game. I am pretty sure the player that beat them 11-2 in that game was using the "super" directional hitting.

    When you are loading into any online game, you can literally see your opponent’s Ranked record. If you want, every, single, game, every mode.

    It’s an obsession for some people. Some guys haven’t even played a road game for 4 years because their online record in MLB the show is about as important as things gets…..checks game history….ohhhhh crazy…..it’s the guy talking about looking up records everyday lmfao

    I’m confused is that supposed to be some dig at me? You’ve brought it up twice in response to comments I’ve made. I don’t know how to find out if someone is the home team and am assuming my games are split 50/50 on the road

    Thanks I try! I certainly am not coming to a forum saying that directional hitting is overpowered and is the cause for my losses. If you agree that directional hitting should be gone I’m sorry you’re just wrong. There are people literally on this forum who only have the use of one hand, they’re supposed to use zone? I know a guy who plays this game that has cerebral palsy and can’t use zone, he shouldn’t be allowed to use directional?

    This is the only counter argument that ever needs to be made. Anyone who thinks it's so strong should go and try it out for themselves... and quickly learn just how wrong they are.

    Another post about this garbage!!! Lol, I’d like to know how you know that someone is using directional hitting. Unless they’re streaming all you’re doing is making an assumption and we all know what that means.

    We should have a option to only play Zone Hitting in RS .

    It is not fair that they play on easy mode and I have the disadvantage of having to square up
    the ball .

    You can't even throw a strike to these guys.

    How do you pitch to them ? If they lay off balls which is easy because they don't even have to square the ball just point in the direction and let the CPU do the rest .

    You can tell right off the bat if you are facing a good
    directional player . They hit everything hard

    Whats the point ? At least nerf it

    You get beat by directional hitters? 😂

    No i'm where i'm supposed to be im the 550-700 range batting around 260-290 .

    Not batting 400 and thinking wow i'm so good i'm 16-1 but i only start playing ranked late so all the player my caliber have moved up or stopping RS till next season because now matches are getting sweaty.

    these players gotta protect their precious records

    Yup these pussies that Bat 400
    but will do anything to stay on All star and play lower levels to just kill everyone and brag about their records ... Is that you [censored] ? @The_Canuckler

    Haha no, I’ve been World Series every ranked season for like the last 5 years the most I stay in all star is the first season as I try to finish everything I can in the game. Usually too much content in the beginning to just focus on online. Good try though, sorry you lost to someone using directional, maybe if you used it you’d be better 🤷🏽‍♂️

    I play with a friend who uses timing and I think it's a disadvantage if anything. I see a lot of swings that have good timing but it's a strike. Seems random to me. Basically just swing and pray. Especially on breaking and painted balls.

    Why wouldn’t you use directional then? If it’s so over powering like you say.

    You complain about everything. It's you. You are not good. You're not good enough to complain. So just stop.
