I don’t know bud, I’m not a top 50 player or even top 100 but I still maintain a 3.40 or so ERA and I make it to the 800’s regularly and occasionally the 900’s when im hitting good. What I do is study my opponents through the game. I usually give up the majority of my runs in the first few innings. Once I have seen their tendencies I make my adjustments and usually pitch pretty well. Another thing is I never give in. Regardless of the count. You will not get a fastball down the middle. So I tend to walk more people than normal.
According to many here, that’s impossible... the forces fastballs down the middle apparently
Sorry, can’t say that I have had that issue and I’ve played the game since day 1. When I hang a pitch I’m usually at fault for doing it by missing the spot I was aiming for.
I was a firm believer in this logic too, but changed my mind, and this:
MLB The Show 20 random pitching outcomes https://youtu.be/7lpWBHqyjLE
was the tipping point. I know it’s RTTS training (so really it should actually be less random) and my secondary is a curveball but it sums up the issue of pitching input needing to be way more a factor than it is.
You’re using metered pitching input. That by its nature is not accurate. And you’re not taking into account that pitchers attributes. My guess is that pitcher doesn’t have 100+ control so using that input is going to exacerbate the issue. Like I’ve said, I make the mistakes not the game (using the input that gives me the most control over my pitches which is pure analog).
i find meter to be just perfect - i never would use analog or god forbid pulse - yet some people love it and it works well @eatyum for example
If you’re using metered pitching than you’re asking to hang pitches. With pure analog you have total control over the pitch. It’s far and away the superior option when it come to pitching in this game. It’s ultimately up to you what you use but if you’re trying to improve you’re pitching command than analog is definitely the way to go.

Its no secret the more you face better competition, the higher your ERA will be. I’m slightly below 4.00 ERA and I consider that outstanding for someone who makes WS regularly. If I kept onplaying, I’m sure I’d match against goons that would destroy my pitching but I usually stop after making WS since my hitting isn’t all that great to hang with the elite. I get by on my pitching
Some goons in the 1000’s rating can hit anything inside the strike zone al over the field. I’m not one of those
That could be very well it. A lot of those guys are very good. I would think at least, that at that level, they would have at least decent ERAs though. Maybe I’m wrong, but shouldn’t there be some players with high averages, some with low ERAs and some with both instead of almost all with high averages and high ERAs?
Well that’s the thing, it’s very simple. Pitching is alot harder than hitting in this game. Some of these goons can hit any pitch in any area. If the average BA in the top50 is .350, it’s very normal to see the ERA’s of these guys being extremely high too. Anyone can dot a pitch in one area but very few can hit it consistently everytime. Pitching is much harder than hitting

I would hope in that case that they would need hitting some in order to balance out the gameplay a bit more. Get it closer to realistic levels. I’m going to get a lot of heat for that opinion, but I like the simulated aspects of this game, and right now, it’s way to arcady for my liking
Sorry for the double quote. I don’t know why it’s doing that lol
I completely get what you’re saying. But it’s hard for SDS to make a game to cater to all gamers. Look at the endless posts about hitting being broken and people struggling to score on HoF while goons like @mitchhammond24 hate playing on HOF because they post double digit runs everytime.
There are alot more people that play below 700 rating than those who play above that. Those who struggle to get to HOF have a hard time scoring runs
I meant to say “nerf” hitting. [censored] autocorrect. But yeah, probably my problem. Hitting is more fun for more people. I like pitching, so the game might not be for me anymore
It should never be a one or the other choice. As you said, if one side is favoured over the other, the game isn’t balanced correctly. Good pitching should beat good hitting in baseball. Too many foul balls, too many home runs, too much contact generally on all star. HoF is slightly better, but still not perfect. I can’t speak to legend, I’ve rarely played that difficulty H2H.
You don’t wanna play legend H2H bro! Earlier this year, maybe in May, I played a game in a legend league. The game I remember I won 4-3. But I had......and get this.....27 strikeouts! NOT my pitcher, I struck out 27 times. That’s right, every out I made was a strikeout. I think he had Kluber or Nolan on the mound I can’t remember. Anyway, that was my one and only game in that league.

Does anyone remember the stream where Ramone said that their data showed most people were terrible hitters? I could probably find the clip if I had time. Anyway, if that’s SDS view, it no wonder they’ve juiced offense so ridiculously in order to help all the terrible hitters enjoy the game more. The thing is, I was quite happy being a terrible hitter and half decent pitcher. I didn’t want my offense juiced, nor my pitching nerfed. I don’t care if I’m a terrible hitter in SDS opinion, if I’m a terrible hitter, then I won’t get many hits, that’s a me problem. Stop trying to force juiced offense on us in various ways like making pitches hang and giving every other card more power than Babe Ruth and just let games play out as they will. Really, it’s beyond a joke how much they try to make you feel like you’re in control of outcomes when you’re clearly not.
This, in a nutshell, is the entire problem with this game. SDS looks at data and decides how the stats should look, then adds all sorts of back end tweaks (“sliders”?) to create those outcomes.
For example, Just try getting through a conquest stronghold first inning with less than 12-15 pitches thrown by your starter. He could be Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Maddux, whoever... he’s probably going to throw 12-15 pitches at least, because “derp, our data shows that is the average in an mlb game, so the cpu batters will take dots until 2-2”.

Hitting doesn't need a nerf imo, we don't want to go back to mlb 19 the lineout. The quite simple fix is if I get good input on my pitch, it should go where I wanted it. I, like you, enjoy pitching more, but nerfing people who consistently get good input on swings is never the answer.
Of course that’s not the answer, the answer is the one solution SDS have strenuously avoided for fear of alienating the subsection of the player base who are terrible at the game but buy stubs in order to get better cards in the hopes of competing.
Let’s see, they’re happy to mess with pitch speeds, more than happy to mess with swing timing windows, although I’m going to credit them with not messing that up this year in a far too extreme manner as they have previously, they’re happy to mess with the success rate of good and perfect swings in order to dictate outcomes, they’re happy to try and give bad hitters more home runs on badly timed or placed swings........ But there’s a solution I advocated years ago that’s never been implemented and it makes a lot of sense.
Namely, reduce PCI size and area for contact. As you move up the difficulty settings, leave the pitch speeds consistent and timing windows, but demand greater accuracy with PCI placement by shrinking the area for contact. This will buff pitching by generating more swings and misses and stop those endless AB with a dozen foul balls on pitches way outside the zone that extend ABs undeservedly and negate the ability of the pitcher to fool the hitter into swinging at a bad pitch with bad timing. On the hitting side, it would be much tougher to hit, but you could reward perfect swings at a really high rate, due to the increased difficulty of actually getting that swing off. Therefore actually creating the feeling of rewarding good input. And yet - Never been tried as a stand-alone thing. Ever. Isn’t that just crazy? No need for laser beam pitch speeds, super narrow timing windows, every other pitcher having to have a sinker. Just make it harder to make contact. Doesn’t this sound super reasonable?
I agree with constant pitch speeds.

Surprised you use meter as you are a good pitcher and a lot of true believers use analog. Analog might be better, but I’ve never gotten the hang of it so I use meter as well. I have an ERA of 3.44 through 532 games (though this season has been a struggle) and it seems to work for me.

To each his own, I’m just pointing out that if you want total control over your pitches the only pitching input that allows you to achieve this is pure analog. Now with that being said, if you make a mistake using pure analog the penalty is far greater, such as pitches drifting. So getting it right the first time takes on much higher importance.

was the tipping point. I know it’s RTTS training (so really it should actually be less random) and my secondary is a curveball but it sums up the issue of pitching input needing to be way more a factor than it is.
You’re using metered pitching input. That by its nature is not accurate. And you’re not taking into account that pitchers attributes. My guess is that pitcher doesn’t have 100+ control so using that input is going to exacerbate the issue. Like I’ve said, I make the mistakes not the game (using the input that gives me the most control over my pitches which is pure analog).
i find meter to be just perfect - i never would use analog or god forbid pulse - yet some people love it and it works well @eatyum for example
If you’re using metered pitching than you’re asking to hang pitches. With pure analog you have total control over the pitch. It’s far and away the superior option when it come to pitching in this game. It’s ultimately up to you what you use but if you’re trying to improve you’re pitching command than analog is definitely the way to go.
im around 65-20 in RS this year with an ERA of 2.19 last i checked - meter is just fine on its own, analog is nonsense for me with hanging pitches galore
To each his own, I’m just pointing out that if you want total control over your pitches the only pitching input that allows you to achieve this is pure analog. Now with that being said, if you make a mistake using pure analog the penalty is far greater, such as pitches drifting. So getting it right the first time takes on much higher importance.
im simply trying to say that between you, myself and Eatyum, we all use 3 completely different pitching methods comfortably
what you said in analog relates the same way to the meter throwing for me - you have to be precise with the meter or its hanging

I don’t know bud, I’m not a top 50 player or even top 100 but I still maintain a 3.40 or so ERA and I make it to the 800’s regularly and occasionally the 900’s when im hitting good. What I do is study my opponents through the game. I usually give up the majority of my runs in the first few innings. Once I have seen their tendencies I make my adjustments and usually pitch pretty well. Another thing is I never give in. Regardless of the count. You will not get a fastball down the middle. So I tend to walk more people than normal.
According to many here, that’s impossible... the forces fastballs down the middle apparently
Sorry, can’t say that I have had that issue and I’ve played the game since day 1. When I hang a pitch I’m usually at fault for doing it by missing the spot I was aiming for.

Surprised you use meter as you are a good pitcher and a lot of true believers use analog. Analog might be better, but I’ve never gotten the hang of it so I use meter as well. I have an ERA of 3.44 through 532 games (though this season has been a struggle) and it seems to work for me.
in this thread, we have guys here who use all different pitching methods - meter is amazing, ive used this way of playing games since Hot Shots Golf in PS2 !!!!
i like your posts and wish you the best pal - thank you too for your kind words too

I don't use meter, I use pulse
i use meter, you use pulse
I use pulse too, and very well. My favorite of all the options this year by far

Or u can hit the bar and hoop perfectly and have the pitch go nowhere near where u wanted it anyway

Congratulations on your success mashing the ball. However, any baseball video game where the top players all have ERAs in the 6s and 7s is horribly out of balance.
I agree, they need to make hitting on Legend much more difficult for these crazies.....
Like you said in a post a few days ago, there are just way too many homeruns in this game right now. I might have exaggerated a bit when I said “all” top players have ERAs in the 6s and 7s, but in 2020 the average MLB era was 4.44. I have to get into the 60s of the RS rankings before I find a player below that and into the 80s before I find a sub 4 ERA. Hitting as been too OP, especially lately and the game has gone into arcade territory, which is ok I guess if that’s what you’re into, but some of us that like to pitch and like the simulated aspects of this game are frustrated.
don't forget that the phillies bullpen is included in that, so it should be a little bit lower than that
