    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? 😂

    Maybe you should switch to directional?

    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

    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

    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.

    Hitting is slowly reverting back to 22. Bloops , foul balls and 99 percent of runs are homeruns. But directional hitters do not dominate in this game because it’s ring only and that’s it.

    Dude, nobody is doing this. That’s some kind of Q’anon style claim right there.

    If someone is squaring up every ball, they're not using directional. It means they're just really good at hitting. Try using directional and let me know if you square up every ball. That's not how it works lol.

    Man my records 9 and 25 online (mainly bc I did missions alot tbh for the ranked program and even I don't complain about directional. But to be fair I lost a lot more than I should of because I was focusing on xp and innings and stuff rather than wins at that time

    Yep that’s definitely proof someone is using directional. Here’s a good follow up question: If what you’re saying is true, why do none of the top players use this method of hitting? Or better yet, why are you not using this method? Have a good day kicking your feet and pitching a temper tantrum!
