    I am so tired of playing this game right now and there being absolutely no rhyme or reason as to how the ball comes off the bat. Perfect perfect with 120 power? Fly ball to the warning track. Early swing? 450 foot no doubter.

    I just played a game that would have potentially gotten me into WS where my opponent, with 2 outs and nobody on, proceeded to go 1) early swing HR 2) very late swing single 3) early swing 2-run HR and that was pretty much the end of the game.

    The next inning I hat a guy on base with 99 Soriano up and hat a "good" swing timing with the ball right in the inner PCI and it was a routine flyout to end the inning.

    I legitimately cannot figure out how the ball comes off the bat right now in this game because squaring things up with good timing is not rewarded with ANY consistency.

    Maybe this will help.

    Remember, a perfect/perfect is not THE perfect it. It is a perfect hit. They can be line drives, ground [censored], fly [censored], etc.

    There are probably more things that determine a hit than any of us can imagine. The batters swing, their tendencies, their ratings, the spin of the ball, the launch velocity, the launch angle the swing timing, PCI placement, etc

    Perfect timing and contact doesn't mean much since you can hit the ball perfectly at someone. The issue I have is the number of hits that result from it compared to the number of hits people get from poor swings on pitches out of the zone are almost identical. Patience and timing aren't rewarded in this game. It's basically just PCI placement and randomness.

    Bottom line is a perfectly timed and contact hit should result in a HR more than a hit on a ball up and in at the batters chin and that simply isn't the case in this game. Mainly online....

    Me too, I was crushing 3 games in a row and all of a sudden all fly outs at the track on several green centered swings. While my opponent blooped me to death on late and very late swings. Ever since 18 its been a crapshoot. Everyone wants better content and I want better consistency.

    I shut off the swing timing window and raged a lot less.

    A hit occurs when a batter strikes the baseball into fair territory and reaches base without doing so via an error or a fielder's choice.

    Game stinks. Hitting is completely random. Hit results are completely out of your hand which is why this game is trash. If I get a perfect pci with a good timing, it needs to be a hit IF it was a hit for my opponent.

    If it’s not, it’s taking the game out of my hands. I have done everything I can do from user input. I am penalized why? Because it’s “baseball”? Lol, I’m good. I’ll go play a game where I’m in charge, not SDS.

    I honestly don't know that it is completely random, but "good" timing seems to be rarely rewarded. I feel like PP or very early/late seem to be rewarded most. Good/good just seems to be an auto out this year.

    This game is a lineout simulator with frequent home runs and occasional bloop hits.

    I wouldn't trust "stick skills reign supreme" for a second, unless you're someone like LittleMan who can slow down time...
