Pitch speeds
-
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.
-
Its not the speeds as much as the timing window is jacked
-
Yeah fun to play legend offline feels great but only luck online.
-
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.

Oh yes. Check swing every pitch lol. Hitting feels really uncomfortable this year and unnatural.
They have check swings this year?
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.

Online is a [censored] show. Need better tech to be normal.

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.
-
Just nerf the sinker and I'll be happy
-
3 inning event games that constantly go 6 or more inning because good/good won't get you a hit. Complete frustrating game.

Pretty much. Pitch speeds aren’t the problem for me, it’s the timing windows and the good/okay on squared up swings. That negates the skill gap they’ve created by making hitting more difficult.

Check swings are fine.. if you go around it's called if you hold up than it's not called. Nothing wrong with that. However.. the 50/50 pitches that could go either way .. the ones painted right on the corners.. half in half out ... If they weren't called a ball every single time than it would change a lot. Players that can locate where the pitch is going to be and not have to protect against that 50/50 ball are near impossible to strike out.. so you have to pitch to contact and odds are the player is a good hitter too. You get these guys who take everything on the black and than a walk or two and a hit and your in for a long inning where if they called those pitches strikes half the time you wouldnt be in that position.

For me the pitch speed isn’t so much the issue. Although in fairness if I didn’t have a monitor and good internet I would be singing a different tune. To me the PCi is the problem. It is so [censored] small and you can miss by a hair or even worse by nothing and get dreaded good, okay. Plus the difference between good good and perfect perfect is almost indistinguishable on higher level.

That’s irrelevant, feedback is totally incorrect. You can pull or push the ball and get good timing feedback, you can place the ball in the centre of the pci and get okay location feedback. If you have time to watch this five minute video I made of hitting and pay attention to the swing feedback, you may see one or two that could potentially make sense. Most of the time it’s like I’m swinging a wet newspaper and when I do get a decent exit velo, it’s right at someone, even perfect/perfect. This is my experience with hitting this year.
