So I tracked my perfect/perfects over the last two weeks.

I did this to try and see how well the actual stats compared to what my mind thought they were.

First I'll note the limitations.

I did not differentiate between perfect/perfect groundballs, liners etc. The reason I did this because we all know the graphic that SDS showed from the beta, it didn't differentiate either, so I stuck to that format. I did however put it in two groups, hitters with 80+ power, and hitters with 79 power or less.

55 also may not be the best sample size + most of this was gotten in the event, since I only played a couple ranked games.

Results:
80+ power - 47 perfect/perfects, 44 hits, 22 home runs, good for a .936 AVG
Below 80 power - 12 perfect/perfects, 8 hits, 3 home runs, .667 average.

Total: 59 achieved, 52 hits, .881 average, 25 home runs

I definitely did not think it was that high for me, shows I had a major disconnect between what I thought was happening, and what actually was.

Great work man. Shows how well SDS did with the hitting this year. Amazing job SDS

Good info. What we need is to track the good/okay with ball centre PCI

I can't do that, I'd get too mad writing all that down lol

Good work...i assume this was using zone hitting settings with buttons. Did you use normal swings or power swings or a variety of both?

Yeah zone, I do only use normal swings

Very interesting. I guess for online play the percentages work out but we all know for showdown they throw these game codes and percentages out the window lol

Maybe, I may track this on showdown. Like @eatyum said, he thought the percentages were way lower than they actually were. Could be the same thing happening in showdown.

You should, I'd be interested to see how it compares!

I might start doing this tonight just to see what kind of results I can get. I only use normal swing as well so I would like to see if I came up with similar results. This is good to see. While the sample size is still relatively small, IMO this shows why SDS doesn’t take our feedback seriously, because people get out once on a perfect perfect and you have people come on here saying “I lined out on 12 perfect/perfects screw you SDS fix your game”

I did it already but only for outs. I wanted to see how many of the 20 outs should have been hits.
About half the time, outs should have been hits based on pci placement and timing.

Dude this morning alone I had 3 perfects in a row go for outs so I would pretty much guarantee the percentages will be lower. AI defense is faster reacting and better than humans so based on that alone they will get to more gappers and grounders lowering the percentages. Plus in showdown I’ve gotten a lot of perfect flyballs with high power players (Giambi, Torres) and saw them die on the warning track. Showdown is a completely different beast and game engine then online h2h play but I’d love to see the results if you do.

Would probably take me 100 games to get a similar sample size lol

Results:
80+ power - 47 perfect/perfects, 44 hits, 22 home runs, good for a .936 AVG
Below 80 power - 12 perfect/perfects, 8 hits, 3 home runs, .667 average.

Total: 59 achieved, 52 hits, .881 average, 25 home runs

So it’s better to have an entire lineup of players with 80+ power? Seems like below 80 power don’t get as many hits.

only on perfect perfect though. below 80 guys may not suffer from as many good squared lineouts as an 80+ guy

Can’t look that closely at only 12 observations. 2 more hits and he’s over 80, two less hits and he’s at 500.

Fun fact, the box score lists perfect/perfects during your game.

I can't do that, I'd get too mad writing all that down lol

no writing lol just stream via twitch and compile afterwards?

Lmao I'm wayyyyy under 500 some games ill have three perfects go for three straight outs. Hitting is trash in this game.

It would be really nice if these stats were available to us to review/ filter in our global profile. It would be nice to see without having to manually track. Might calm some people down regarding hitting (myself included), always remember the ones that don't go for hits and get frustrated but don't remember all the ones that went for hits.

I would sometimes get mad at a good/okay HR.

I've used power swing and hit a good/okay HR. Opponent is probably doing the same.

No reason to get as mad as before.

I just had 3 consecutive perfect/perfect liners for outs. Love to see it. It was showdown though so RNG fest.

I think im gonna keep track of my P/P balls in both modes for a week or two and see what the difference is. From my experience I have definitely seen more perfect/perfect outs in showdown than I have online

Showdown is lower difficulty, thus in order to not have literally 100 runs they need to randomize the center pci results some to make games actually end....that's why any event/rs/or br on all star is an utter joke

It’s nice and all that he recorded his numbers but honestly it’s irrelevant to try to use that as a “standard” (not that he posted this to try that) because it’s all rng. Every circumstance is different for every player in every game. Ultimately it’s what the game wants to make happen.
