I have a hard time accepting batters flailing on a pitch out of the zone and still foul it off? How is that even possible . Especially on HOF . That should be a swing and a miss every time I don’t care if your PCI is exactly on it . Also noticing early/good is probably the second best way to hit homers besides perfect / perfect fly balls . I guess it is what it is.
-
FYI, hitters foul off out of zone pitches all the time in baseball.. this is not far fetched even slightly
-
Foul balls do get frustrating, but your idea that every very early/very late should be a complete miss is incorrect from a viewpoint of basic geometry and physical science. Obviously, not all very x swings are alike, and some would absolutely nick the ball. If I’ve got two strikes and I think a pitch is close but I don’t like it, I’m swinging very late or early just to foul it off...it’s a legitimate strategy.

If you don't care about PCI placement, then why should anyone care about perfect pitch releases?
Sounds like you are asking for automatic strikes. Some people on here might disagree with you.

This has been a problem for years, it keeps at bats undeservingly alive. Worst thing is when they foul off 5 or 6 pitches in this manner and then you hang 1 for a homer.

Here is a video of a lot of mlb players getting singles on balls that bounce in the dirt.

This literally happens regularly in baseball.. like, every game!!

So? I wasn't saying it's unrealistic or that it doesn't happen in real life baseball. I'm saying it's a problem in this game because it decreases the skill gap in a pointless and frustrating manner.
Oh and btw, I've never seen a batter who sits fastball being able to flail and still make contact on a 70mph curveball. Show me the video of that please.

I don't see that happening on higher difficulty.. it also ties into the hitter's vision rating and pitcher's K/9 rating 100%..
What's the point of getting better cards if these ratings don't affect gameplay?And watch a game. Most major league hitters can adjust to stay alive off a slow curve when sitting fastball. Also, who throws a 70mph curve that also throws hard irl?

My point is that someone who sits fastball and swings without any discipline at every offspeed pitch in the dirt shouldn't be rewarded by keeping the at bat alive. No matter how much you try to argue that is is "normal" in real life baseball, it really isn't. And it shouldn't happen in this game either. If you can't sit back, you should strike out. Learn to adapt.

It wouldn't happen irl because guys don't press x to swing.. but I get your point. I just don't see it much above all star. Especially with better k/9 pitchers

It has improved this year for sure, compared to 19 and especially 18. But it still happens more than I'd like.

Oh...you haven’t seen it...obviously that means it doesn’t exist.
Get real. You’re complaining because you’re frustrated and I get that. But you’re also ignoring reality.

Look, dude...you're asking me to go through millions of pitches because you don't watch enough baseball? I think not. Go eat a bag.
