Hitting in 20 isn't the problem
-
I agree with this. It seems the timing windows are way different for each individual pitcher. For whatever reason I’m getting blown by on Kluber’s 95mph fastball and sinker and at the same time I have good, sometimes, early, timing on Kopech/Graterol 100mph+ fastballs. Doesn’t make sense.

For me, at least, the problem with Kluber is that his delivery and arm speed is just so unrealistically slow, looks like he should struggle throwing the ball 60 MPH's and then boom, that sinker or fastball clocked at 95 MPH might as well be 200 MPH

I believe sds ran out of time to tune some things because of the pandemic so I'll give them a pass. Any thoughts
Except it was fine before patch 1.04. So they jacked the windows on purpose.

Maybe or maybe not. Could be a marketing strategy or a test to get players to get better through the struggle for next years game. Or could be something that haven't noticed.

all I know is I was hitting .330 with doubles and triples for the first week, now I'm about .180 and hit nothing but bloop singles or home runs.

Nah sorry man, your thread seems like a weird brag more than anything. Look at the entire first sentence lol. Of course things are gonna run smoother & you’ll play better .. you’re going up against a watered-down player base. People have been saying plenty about the timing window issue. This isn’t really any bit of new information. More so, you’re updating everyone that you’re playing & winning in MLB 19.

I can definitely see that too. Kluber is the only pitcher I literally cannot hit. For the most part I can handle everyone else but there are some games where it’s a challenge to put the PCI on the ball and not look stupid vs. Kluber.

Online? If so, remember you started out playing on veteran difficulty in week one. Now you are on All-Star, at least I assume so, if you aren't hitting well currently.

First event was on all star. I hit well. Made it up to pennant race hitting well too. It only takes like 2 wins to get out of veteran.
I'm not trying to say I was ever a great hitter, I suck. But the difference after 1.04 is clear as day.

I think it's been an issue since launch to be honest. Many threads about this topic have been removed, and I've had friends banned for the year for discussing it.

Hitting is a problem, good okay on balls right down the middle perfectly squared up proves this
Also good popped is a killer.

Nah bro I'm including decent players that I've played last year too. Last year i took a huge step forward in my hitting only for 20 to push me back. I'm including facing watered down players and the decent ones I've slaughtered.

Seemed like there was more hit variety that first week for sure. Also, was able to get runners from first to third on base hits and scoring from first on doubles a lot easier. I still see this, just not nearly as much. Four consecutive singles or a homer seem to be the way to score now.
