@sbchamps17_NSW the average pitches per plate appearance in 2024 according to baseball reference is 3.88, foul balls were ridiculous and absolutely a problem. Still are, they’re a crutch for lower level players to be able to compete and try to level the playing field.
Agree … foul balls, especially against my favourite opponents „I play at Costco and I will swing very early until I hit a bad pci 86mph-HR“ were really are problem. I usually get 40-50 per game. That is more than an average MLB game and therefore NOT part of the game (unless this is too complex to get
) -

Doesn't matter it's part of the game and they didn't need to fix it
Well the overwhelming majority and SDS disagree with you on this one. It was a problem that needed fixed.

Do you play RS H2H online? If not, you may not understand. The reason why it was a "problem" is because users with poor plate discipline would swing at everything and after the 10th-12th pitch or so, get rewarded with a bloop single... Meanwhile the superior user, who has good plate discipline, would get more perfect/perfect line outs.Sure, foul balls are a thing, and (like baseball) the superior user does not always win... However, it was just a case where the inferior user was being rewarded too much, while the superior user was not.

Well I'm not the only one who thinks that it wasn't a problem so agree to disagree. Don't fix something that doesn't need to be fixed

@sbchamps17_NSW
Ok, but do you play online?I am not being critical of you, if you don't... I am just saying that it matters. Online vs Offline players have different experiences and their opinions matter, relative to their what they play.

Simply put: foul balls were happening on unrealistic pitch/swing combos. End of story. The fact that so called 'superior users' were getting their feelings hurt by a bloop single is irrelevant, and those people are still going to cry anyway.

@Teak2112_MLBTS
I do not care about the feelings of the superior/better user. I just appreciate the value of user input. Therefore, I support any adjustment that places more value on user input. -
@sbchamps17_NSW yikes.. that’s all I’ll say
-
Just played my first games at Cairo, wow it's good.
Now I just need to not swing at everything simply because I can see it finally. -
For me the complaint was foul balls on pitches way out of the zone . I was ok with fouls just out of the zone .

I'm finding hitting a little harder since the patch of the foul balls. I'm still struggling to understand why people complained about foul balls when that's literally part of the game. Watching a real mlb game you can have 8-10 foul balls during 1 at bat
Never really had an issue with the foul balls, other than a mini seasons or conquest game where you're at 14 pitches before the 2nd batter gets up. As far as everyone elses complaints about it, its 2024...people want instant results. I feel like a good portion of the people in these forums dont even like baseball which is why they fight so hard to change every aspect of it. This game is just something to play til something "better" comes out.

Actually it's 2 strike foul balls, everyone likes(or doesn't care) if it's fouled with no or 1 strike.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW that is not the norm though

@hoo_pharted_PSN said in New Patch Update:
cairo batter eye was the worst , i complained about it early on , not a single reply
I was with you in spirit...
-
Ya they didn’t fix anything still a ton of fouls balls and too many hits on bad swings
-
@VioletNine9_XBL lol this is so true
-
since I've started playing this morning I've had 9 base runners just randomly stop in the base paths. Has anyone else had this problem. Thanks

timing window seems way off
-
@Simple-Jack3998_XBL
Yep, that and check swings.... This is probably why they are reluctant to make "gameplay adjustments". Seems like every time they address something, something else gets broken. -
@Simple-Jack3998_XBL
My guess is that by addressing the foul ball issue, they tinkered with the outer PCI, and that affects timing windows. This may be why the windows are less forgiving. I use Zone, but I imagine that those that use Directional and Timing Hitting are having an even more difficult time hitting (since those methods have shorter timing windows anyway).
