Can Someone Explain Foul Ball Mechanics to me?
-
Not a complaint post, trying to learn the game.
For context, I am playing on legend in ranked seasons. So, some opponents have mastered the foul ball. They will foul off ten pitches out of play in a single at bat. How are they doing this?
I normal swing and usually am a little off on my pci placement for an easy out. These guys are putting swings on balls pretty far out of the zone, sometimes with good timing and sometimes poor timing.
They are doing something, because the same guys are able to almost take a full swing animation check swing and still hold up for a check swing ball. I don’t think they are full blown cheating or they would crush everything, but they are contact swinging or something. Perhaps using the ambush mechanics with contact swing?
Anyways, weird mechanics. On the fence between learning this [censored] or just quitting and hoping next years game isn’t [censored] AF like this.
I’d personally love to see SDS get rid of the [censored] PCI and shrink the timing windows. Make this game about pitch recognition and taking real at bats. Reward having a good eye and good timing, not aiming a stupid [censored] reticle on a screen. Make it real baseball.

Pretty sure I answered my own question when typing this out. They must be contact swinging with ambush. Needs to be more consequence for hacking at every pitch.
You get punished for playing real baseball taking balls and missing the pci on a ball in the zone by a kunt hair. Nice work SDS

I think also right now there isn't really any pitcher with high h/9, k/9. So its pretty easy to fall off pitches. THe game is really tailored to hitting at the moment.

@virusts_psn And when pitching, it gets really annoying.

It entirely possible, I can do 8-10 pitch at bats without too much difficulty,my longest at bat ever I believe was 18. This is against CPU but the mechanics are the same vs ppl or CPU.
It isn't that difficult after watching tens of thousands of pitches to not only know what the timing for optimal swings are but for harmlessly fouling it off.
To go that deep into an at bat they are deciding they don't like the pitch and are intentionally fouling it off to get another, once you get passed 10 pitches it starts to become kind of amazing that you haven't accidentally popped one up that gets caught in foul territory. -
When they implemented the outer pci the foul balls became an issue.

Was an issue before outer pci, in fact I think the outer pci was created to tame the foul ball issue.
Of course the opposite happened. -
@virusts_PSN it’s tailored to hitting anymore. They just balanced it out with the new strike zone. Before it might have been but it’s for sure more balanced.

The mechanics the rng we can go on and on and on.... game is really a pos game. when I have 5 perfects in a game and they are all singles, but my oppenents gets home runs off bs. Blows my mind. The player who is able to hit a home run wins in this game. Lousy singles do no harm on a perfect. But a late swing leaves the park, kills you. Maybe the cheaters have the right idea. Can just turn on the cheat when the mechanics, servers and rng is [censored] humping you. I almost cannot blame them. Almost...

@PAinPA_PSN they were a problem but once the outer pci showed up it went insane.

Between the foul balls and emphasis on steals this year…it is tough to enjoy the game. Throw in the cheaters as well.
