This game is darn near unplayable online

I've had maybe more fun than I've ever had playing offline this year, but online is nearly unplayable. The whole thing is just an RNG-fueled nightmare determined completely by who happens to get rewarded with the most solo HRs.

I just got done with a weekend classic game and ohhhhhh boy was it a doozy. I can't even be mad because it's such a good example of what I've been frustrated with for months.

I had 10 hard hit balls (95+ exit velo) which resulted in 6 singles, 2 doubles, a 101mph double play ball, and a flyball to dead center that died on the track

My opponent had 11 hard hit balls which resulted in 7 solo HRs, 3 doubles, and a single.

I had 1 or 2 "perfect/perfects" and my opponent had maybe 3 so that's not the explanation for the difference.

To add insult to injury, my opponent also struck out 10 times to my 7, meaning I had only one fewer hard hit ball but three fewer strikeouts, but I lost 8-1

At first I thought it was just the normal ebb and flow of RNG, but it's been almost 2 months now of me trying to win while getting HRs on a SIGNIFICANTLY lower percentage of my hits. It's gotten to the point where I'm genuinely wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Was there a shift in the meta at some point I didn't pick up on? Is everyone using power swing now? Is there something I'm doing wrong as a pitcher that the hard hit balls I give up are HRs a staggering percentage of the time instead of even hard hit singles and doubles?

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I play this game to compete online, but it's getting so frustrating at this point it's barely worth playing....

Yes, hitting is very funky, random, and really bugged this year.
