    Can we either get rid of timing and directional hitting in ranked solo and coop, BR, and Event games please please please?? Or at least put something in the game that searches for opponents based on hitting input so zone hitters will only play zone hitters and timing will play timing hitters? And don’t allow players to change hitting setting mid game? I don’t get how ranked and competitive play can allow for such different hitting settings when they aren’t all equal and timing takes next to no skill at all. Against the CPU or in casual modes use whatever you want but we need 1 hitting input for ranked modes and it needs to be zone hitting ONLY that’s just my opinion tho.

    1. You don't know what input your opponent is using. (Cue "But I messaged them and they told me they were using timing!")
    2. Even if they were using timing or directional, those are inferior input methods. They are at a disadvantage. There is a reason why most competitive players don't use them. If you are getting crushed by someone using timing, then you're doing something (or many things) wrong.
    3. If SDS did eliminate all but one input method, or made it so you could only match up with similar input methods, what would people blame when they get crushed?

    I'm sorry if that seems harsh, and you're welcome to your opinion, but I think I can speak for most of the regulars around here when I say that we're over people using directional or timing as the boogeyman. If someone is hitting your pitcher hard, they are MUCH more likely to be using zone.

    Not going to happen; they’ve failed to program selectable uniforms in online rated (regular teams), a standard difficulty setting for online rated, wind on/off in h2h, wind on/off for simple franchise games and co-op well it speaks for itself

    Oh hey this whole thing again, I really like east wins so I hope they never get rid of it because it’s easy to beat.

    As some who uses timing hitting, not online I don’t play competitive all you have to do is throw off speed pitches low and to the corner and we can’t hit it

    what a garbage take - you should take personal accountability for your poor performances in game - practice more, get better, and be better as a man - no one likes a whiner mate

    Timing is a disadvantage . I play with a buddy who uses it and I see a lot of hits missed with good timing when if it was zone would have been crushed.
