Up and in Fastball
-
It’s a weird thing. Back in 17, the high inside fastball was much easier to hit. It’s still a hittable pitch, just not as easy. I can remember in 17 if you pitch high and inside in me I would launch it almost every time. Now, not so much. So yes, something has changed but, maybe it’s more realistic.

Doesn’t matter if I have my pci on it and I get good timing I always fly out with it. I’ll hit a dinger here and there, but no matter what it’s usually a fly out.
"I always fly out with it"
-- Literally the next sentence --
"I'll hit a dinger here and there"
See how do you expect people to take you seriously with these choice of words is what I wonder. Go practice on the fastball instead bro.
Preach
So annoying man, these people overshadow the real issues and true flaws of this game and make the sincere complaints look like regular whining.

I don’t understand the “respect” angle.
Are we supposed to serve up hangers? The game does that for us enough as it is.

It was hittable because of the just late cheese in 17. You didn't have to time it up but you would still get a hit

Alexa, how do I delete a post? I’m wrong on this one y’all lmao, just had a guy spamming it last game with Ohtani and was just frustrated with it cause I was just not able to do anything with it. Y’all are right though, I’m outta pocket on this one

That's actually a very mature response in the end, did not expect that. Kudos to you.

I know when I’m wrong, just got a little caught up in the moment that’s all, you guys made me realize I was wrong though. Baseball is all about exploiting weaknesses lmao. Just lost my mind for a min

If you're frustrated, then your opponent did a good job
-
Ohtani can be tough. I sympathize.

If you result to the high and in fastball everytime you get into a jam.... I have no respect for you, that’s not how baseball is meant to be played
If you don't use a monitor you don't stand a chance.
Not true at all

GET GUD...
-
If you attempt to strike me out, get hits off me, or just beat me in general, I have no respect for you. That’s not how baseball should be played.

Let’s be real, the FB this year is a little cheesy. Half the started throw 100 MOH fbs

I don't get into jams. I throw non-stop perfect releases down the middle of the plate which usually results in a HR. No jam there. I have a daughter that could hit against me.
I can't remember having an era north of 3.3 in RS. It is well above 4 and would be way worse if I actually played the game more. I spend more time watching TV.

@mrwonderful95 it might be cheesy on the developer side with the mph but not the player side. The fastball is thrown over 50% of the time. It will also be your most consistent pitch called for a strike. What’s cheesy is someone throwing off speed 70% of the time IMO.
Are you saying you would like to see less FBs? I’m confused. Do you know how hard it is to throw an off speed pitch (besides change) for a strike?

Well off speed is only effective if the pitcher throws a FB that has considerable speed vs the off speed therefore making the off spread much more effective

“Baseball is all about exploiting weakness” I actually did lol, that was a hilarious thing to say my man

Yes that frustrated me back in '17 until "MLB Show Tips" showed me how to counter it:
- Put your PCI High-in pre-pitch.
- Place your left thumb UNDER the left analog stick and leave it there.
- Time the high-in fastball and you got any easy line-drive or homerun....
- Then your opponent will be forced to mix up his pitches and prove himself.
- Don't hesitate to leave it up there again if he starts spamming that again.

Don’t feel bad man. Ohtani had a no hitter going into the 9th on me.
