So because you can't hit it, you want the game to bail you out? Do the work for you? I've seen some hilarious stuff around here, but you sir take the prize.
How is this any diifferent from someone spamming up and in 100 times a game because timing windows are off, or because most people don’t have the equipment or internet to get around on it. Isn’t this bailing out a bad pitcher?
Yes I am upset because I cannot hit. There are certain aspects of this game that are out of balance this year and I am offering a suggestion to restore that balance. Nice of you to dismiss my idea out of hand instead of looking at it from another perspective, and offering some helpful feedback.
Here's some helpful feedback; go into custom practice and practice until you can hit it like the rest of us. In the meantime I have zero empathy for your cries about this 100% non-issue.
And you are the authority on what is an issue and what isn’t? LMAO. And you are crying about someone crying
No I'm not, but you're asking for cookies when everyone else had to spend hours and hours and hours to craft their skill in this game. And here you are asking for guess pitch because you can't hit an up and in fastball. This game has issues for sure, I'm not denying that. But you sucking at this game is a you problem friend.
“I've been keeping my opinion to myself ever since the game launched, because I didn't dive into the online game modes right away. I usually grind some of the offline stuff first to build a somewhat decent team and that's exactly what I did. That meant I couldn't really give an objective opinion on the game since I didn't play online enough yet and for most of us this game centers around the online game modes.
Let me start of by saying that even though I consider myself an upper tier/elite player, this opinion is mine and mine alone. My opinion is not weighing heavier than any offline player or the more casual type of player whatsoever. You do not have to agree with anything I say, but I do ask you to respect my opinion as I will respect yours.
I can describe this game in an online environment in its current state as following:
I can not pitch.
I can not field.
I can not hit.
And yet somehow I can still win.I throw so many meatballs and I can't control a single pitcher. Good releases sometimes lead to hangers down the middle. Horrible releases sometimes result in absolute dots on the black. Every pitch feels like spinning the wheel of fortune, I'm just lost when it comes to pitching, honestly.
When it comes to fielding, the obvious issue of outfielders not locking onto flyballs is a problem. I'm sure that will be fixed at some point. What annoys me way more is when the ball gets down and bounces off the wall, your outfielder is literally lost. There is no urgency to pick it up or throw it away quickly, you actually run past it often. Singles turn into doubles and doubles turn into triples because of this.
And the hitting.. I don't even know where to start. I struggle hitting fastballs, while I've always been a really good fastball hitter. Now I have to gamble and as a result that gets me out in front of almost every offspeed pitch. It only takes 1 inning for my opponent to figure this out. The funny thing is that an inning later I can be out in front on fastballs while I'm pretty certain that my reaction time is the same as before. It just feels off and inconsistent, I don't understand it.
I also tend to get under the ball a whole lot, while I'm not even slamming the PCI down. In my screen I align the ball in the middle of the PCI, yet the feedback says I got under it too much resulting in a good/okay flyout. This happens to me way too often.
The perfect/perfect idea is great. In reality only the perfect/perfect flyballs with power guys do real damage. I've lined out on perfect/perfect liners more often than not and perfect/perfect grounders are usually just groundouts or even double plays. You'd expect the perfect input would make you find the infield hole, which sometimes happens but not nearly enough.All and all I'm just really disappointed more than anything. I was really hoping that we could leave 18 and 19 behind us and start moving in the right direction again, like a tweaked hybrid of 16+17 where the flaws of those games were fixed. But that's clearly not their vision for this franchise moving forward unfortunately.
For now I'll keep playing casually instead of competitively, hoping that future patches will resolve some of the stuff I mentioned, but I'm kinda pessimistic about it. Sorry. I usually quit playing ranked around Christmas, this year that might be a lot sooner.”
This was your post from earlier this year. Looks like you were in the same boat as me, at least at one time. Are you allowed to complain yet other people aren’t? You need at least respect other people’s opinions, even if you do not agree with them
calm down, too much to read, its just a video game you aint living forever kid yet you just devoted a portion of your life deeply complaining about a video game
Was quoting someone else. Just cut and paste. I was devoting the exact same amount of time complaining about a video game as you were complaining about someone complaining about a video game (though with this post, I guess you are back in the lead, well done)
dude I was on your side now I could care less if you get roasted, you kids are too [censored] sensitive these days
Not a kid, and maybe It’s because I don’t like getting talked down to or “roasted” just because I am expressing an opinion that turns out is unpopular. Tell me why it’s a bad idea instead of calling me a kid, telling me to relax or calm down, or to “get gud”
get reading comprehension and stop being a douche
Get reading comprehension?
yea, I didn't ssssssttttttttttuuuuuuudddddddeeeeeeerrrrrr
What am I not comprehending?
And btw, I agree with 99% of what you are saying, so I apologize I just admittedly have a short fuse when I feel (subjective, not necessarily what is happening) people are being hypocritical or engaging in ad hominem attacks, rather than engaging in the merits of the issue

So let’s switch up the idea. If guess pitch is so unpopular, maybe have a more substantial penalty for spamming a certain pitch/location?
Penalty for spamming a pitch someone can’t hit? Hahaha id love to see you tell that to a Mlb pitcher “hey this guy can’t hit a low and away slider, but you can only throw it 2 times in the game to him and if you throw it more you get penalized” youd get laughed out of the room hahaha
I get your frustration, but your asking that the game can give a handicap to lower level players to beat upper ranked players. Yet if you were a higher ranked player you would complain about how the game screws you against lower ranked players. There’s been enough rng feeling in this game to feel like that’s already a thing. If your saying your opponent spams the fastball up cause you can’t hit it, sit on it until 2 strikes every ab, like real Mlb hitters do sometimes. People have spent years on this game to get good, yet you want to penalize them by making hitting so easy all their time and effort is a waste. Spend time working on your game, play a ton of event games and learn how people pitch, learn how to control the pci and reading pitches. This is a simulation baseball game not an arcade baseball game, it’s supposed to reward better skilled players, just like how baseball works in real life. If you want an arcade game play R.B.I. or something like that.

you're yelling at a crowd that's been playing this for years so you're like the black guy running into a kkk party screaming y'all are so wrong. they've been dealing with this for a year/years so the way they think is imbedded in their thought process.
Horrible, racist analogy. And the KKK deserves to be screamed at.

Sorry OP. No disrespect but that is the absolute worst idea ever offered on this forum since 2012 (the last time GP was seen in Ranked DD).
HELL FREEKIN NO!!!
I'm even going to say the most D-Bag thing possible... GET GUD!!!
I would literally sell my PS4 and never give SDS another dime if they allowed that garbage in Ranked. Heck I don't even condone it in events!
what does "gud" mean, I still can't find it in Merriam-webster...I hear op's pain as a new player this isn't a fun game, its work. if anything there should be a league for those that have been playing for years such as yourself and those that are new like op and me. you come off like a douche, if I didn't care for the game I wouldn't try because of you, lifespan's too short to be such a douche babe.
Call it what you want... Not anyone's problem but your own if you can't hit unless you know what's coming bro.
For the record OP isn't new, he's been around this forum for a while.
Hence the reason I initially said no disrespect. -

If I, as a pitcher, find a weakness in my opponent, I should not be penalized for doing so.
Plus there already is a penalty for spamming the non-primary pitches

Literally the name of the game to find the weakness and take full advantage.

How much of the weakness is mine, and how much of it is timing windows? Probably a lot of both, but I do think this game has devolved into 102mph fastballs up and in because the current state of the game makes it extremely difficult to get around on.

Even if part of it is the timing windows, your proposal isnt' the answer.
Once again, I should not be penalized if I find a weakness in my opponent. That is not the way to fix it.
I'm not trying to pile onto you, some people are being a bit to rude here, I'm just trying to explain that these proposals aren't the answer.

I think it all comes back to connection. The game uses a peer-to-peer type connection instead of dedicated servers, which isn't great for modern gaming. I think having servers would allow for a more stable game.

I do notice that it is a lot harder to hit when I am the away team than when I am the home team and am hosting the game even with a hard wired connection.

Custom practice. My understanding is you can set it to work on pretty much anything. Know a few folks who swear by it. Give it a shot.
