I love baseball. I’ve really enjoyed having all this video game baseball content, especially during outbreak hibernation.
That said, I’ve started losing interest a bit and playing other games. I jumped on today and found tons of new content, but I am wondering if hitting has been tweaked again and find the pitching is still wonky.
I got going on stage 3 for the Mariners and Dodgers, taking care of the Felix perfect game moment in three tries.
Next, five tries for the Griffey jr one to hit a bloop and a blast. Out of 93 pitches over the five games, 33 were in the zone, 18 were borderline, and 44 were entirely out of the zone.
It comes to about 34% strikes. If you count the borderline pitches as strikes (at least some part of the ball was touching the zone) it comes to 54%.
Now, maybe that’s not too far off the MLB average. Even if I square up all of those, there’s going to be some that fall for hits and most not.
My point is, this may well be really exciting and fun for some of you guys but for the average dude like myself, especially as a Seattle fan that watched this moment in real life, it just wasn’t much fun, and that’s ok.
The game can’t be everything for everyone.
