    Or, you just need to hit better.

    Zone works perfectly fine vs the cpu, as it always has.

    The usual "get good" comment!

    Did it just fine using zone. I do everything with zone, because directional is relying more on rng to help you

    If zone is literally "unusable" against the cpu, why did I win the only showdown I played today? "Unusable" means under no circumstances should I have been able to, yet I did

    You do not understand how many perfect perfect or “good okay” fly outs or ground balls I have gotten. My thing is if I get perfect perfect or good good, I should be rewarded, but I should not be rewarded if I get early okay and it’s a no doubt homerun, you tell me how tf that makes sense. There is not “hitting better” when I get next to near perfect pci placement and timing you [censored] idiot.

    Do better and overcome it then my guy

    Really? I did that challenge my first try. Although it did help that I hit two home runs in game 1.

    Maybe cause the dice rolled in your favor and not for him. He said he was getting good hits but the game didn’t give it to him.

    I also did it first try after 2 bombs in 1st game....

    For TC, are you looking for advice on how to use zone effectively vs cpu? Or was the post more to left off frustration.

    You can square up every single pitch and still be at the mercy of the rng hitting. Yes it’s better than directional but it’s far from perfect. Perfect means your getting rewarded with every solid hit. That simply does not happen in this game.

    Wouldn't that mean it's not "unusable" if the dice goes your way though? Unusable means unusable, as in does not work at all. Not "Well it does work sometimes if the game is in your favor"

    Unusable isn't the right word to use.

    Zone is definitely useable but still at the mercy of the rng.

    Ever watched baseball before?

    Should solid contact be rewarded much, much more than bad contact? Absolutely

    Should you get a hit every time you make solid contact? Absolutely not.

    Because sometimes when the ball leaves the bat it can go to directly to a defender. I mean, defense has a job as well

    I know I would. I'm not here to play football scores. There is a difference between rewarding user input and arcade-style play.

    They should really consider making two online modes.

    Arcade - User input is king.
    Simulation - Game replicates real baseball.

    Would be a great way to please the players. Every year it’s the same bickering back and forth about the gameplay.

    Definitely seems like gameplay was tweaked today. I was behind fastballs a lot for the first time since I switch to a monitor. Also good/good has turned into a fly ball to center a lot.
