Can We Make Locating Pitches Harder?
-
It's not a huge deal on All-Star with the reduced pitch speeds, but now that we've got a bunch of guys with outlier in the game, the ability to locate any pitch anywhere you want on Hall of Fame and Legend is making the game significantly less fun to play. I shouldn't be facing power pitchers with Greg Maddox levels of control every game pinpointing 100mph fastballs anywhere they want and then throwing multiple breaking balls half an inch off the low inside corner every time.
I just faced a guy using Bob Gibson who spent half the game dotting a front door sinker. Why is it even possible to consistently pinpoint your R1 pitch with a power pitcher who isn't supposed to have great control?
I'm NOT saying pitches should just be going down the middle. But man is it frustrating to try and hit 103 on both corners and then recognize multiple breaking balls that are consistently thrown barely off the plate.
People try and excuse all the hard line outs, bad exit velos, and crappy swings for base hits by saying "its baseball" but will then watch as a guy throws a high inside front door sinker on the black. Or a low inside front door circle change that takes 35 seconds to get to the plate. Or god forbid a belt-high slider that just turns into a super cutter because high sliders don't hang at all.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Since they added this new pinpoint interface the pitch control is out of control.

pitches are just teleporting on hall of fame and legend
