Gameplay

I wanted to share my observations from gameplay for this year, which is pretty similar to previous years. I think this game plays half way decent to be honest. Hitting can be hit or miss, but at the end of the day it all comes down to consistency.. can you but the barrel (pci) on the ball.. I’ve always told myself if you’re making good contact the hits will eventually drop and I’ll string something together, which typically is the case online.
There are games that in the first few innings no matter what you can’t buy a hit but in later innings when pitcher energy has gone down they will start to drop. When it comes to hitting I think a lot comes down to pitcher energy and confidence (or whatever it’s called).. does anyone know if when confidence is high does the pitcher get like additional stat boosts or something? It feels like when it’s maxed that good swings always seem to be a little softer and line outs, which I think contributes to people’s frustration. I know from hitting side of confidence is shot the PCI seems to get much larger, so just curious if it works the other way around?
Overall, yes it can be frustrating, but the game does seem to play pretty decent. Baseball, huh?

I've noticed that contact has been kinda wonky this year. I am not a great player by any means, but sometimes, when I get the pci close to the ball the contact is just okay, and sometimes when it is a good deal away from the ball, it is good. The lack of consistency in that regard is confusing to me.
