    Does anyone else feel the pitch speeds in this game are terrible? I’ve never seen so many people lunge at pitches because you have to sit a certain pitch.

    Oh yes. Check swing every pitch lol. Hitting feels really uncomfortable this year and unnatural.

    Pitch speeds in ranked are a total dice roll... You face kluber every game, so it's not a like the motion is throwing me off, one game I'm early on every sinker, the next game I'm late

    It's just a guessing game this year, you can literally be on one game, and off the next.

    But if someone has good splits (100 MPH FB with lets say 90 or below every other pitch) it's gonna be hard to time him up if you sit off speed or fastballs. Just the nature of the game.

    I feel like I have to sit fastball up because I can't stay in the middle and react. Faced Nate Pearson somehow won the game but couldn't touch him at all if I didn't sit up in the zone

    Its so inconsistent, faced Oswalt and Liam Hendriks. Apparently Oswalt's down in the zone 92 mph Sinker is faster than Hendrik's up in the zone 98 mph fastball.

    Games would have a lot better outputs with more check swing called strikes and more strikes on the plate called strikes. Would change the entire face of hitting.

    Only for my opponents. None of my cards seem to have that Quirk enabled.

    I swear, I can breathe on the controller and I’ll swing. Other times, I’ll smash it and not swing. Doesn’t make sense.

    This! Call the black and the game changes. Players that sit and wait for a mistake will chase more “if” the black was called consistently. More pitchers could get into favorable counts and breaking pitches become viable, even on all-star.

    I like the pitch speeds on HOF the way they are. I'm on a monitor though. High fastballs should get blown by you if you aren't looking for it.

    Yup. Played two games today. One I hit the **** out of the ball. Next game, 4 hits.

    It’s weird.

    I'm okay with the fast pitch speeds, but making contact more rewarding.

    3 inning event games that constantly go 6 or more inning because good/good won't get you a hit. Complete frustrating game.
