Casuals have hated shippett for years and top players have played there for years this isn’t a new thing this year lol.
I’ve been playing this game for years. Never made ws but can consistently make cs so I wouldn’t consider myself to be a causal. While “top” players having been playing here for years, it hasn’t led to the type of problems as playing at this stadium has this year.
You can argue that, but I’ve seen a lot of players complaining about shippett since 18. There has been a gradual increase in home hunting throughout the years as people become more aware that it’s possible. I don’t home hunt myself, I find it quite annoying.
The pitching has been atrocious since 18, so that’s not really any different. I personally have not noticed a change in pitching since 18. 18, 19, and 20 have all been ridiculous with early home runs as well, so I’m really not seeing what makes shippett worse this year. Aside from possibly more people playing there.
If anything, shippett is more balanced this year than prior years such as 18 bc 18 had wind, which was very broken if blowing out. 19 had a lot more lineouts, which imo made people believe that the pitching was better.

Crosley Field is where it’s at
I think this is my least favourite place to play. The windows in the buildings in the batters eye makes it harder to pick up the ball IMO. Maybe it was the guy using a certain pitcher and it came out of his hand at a difficult spot, but I immediately put that one on my own ‘do not choose’ list.
I only use it because my team is Cincinnati and I don’t wanna play at GABP with Reds logos everywhere. I personally don’t have trouble with the batters eye but I’ve heard others do. Maybe I’m accustomed to it. Oh well, I’m gonna keep playing there cause I like it.
Absolutely man, if it suits your eye then go for it! Not telling you what to do at all. Just my opinion. Would give you an advantage against guys who don’t pick up the ball well there too. Good on ya.

Shippet is the go to stadium due to it being the most rewarding stadium. Early is a basically what perfect perfect should be, but hey a studio that has developed this game since 2006 can’t get it right
-
Blame pitching. Shipped has been around for a long time, never been an issue. Its the pitching.
-
I don’t have a huge problem with early home runs, as long as they are away. Those pitches get hooked out all the time IRL. But as with many arguments about this game, do you want it to mimic real life, or serve as a fair and competitive video game. Both is not a realistic option

I think the perfect/perfect system introduced this year amplified an already extremely friendly offensive environment. Shippett was always an offense first ballpark, but until this year the outcomes seemed “reasonable.” Now every game there has double digit scores for each team with combined home run totals at least 5x the major league average

Perfect/perfect is hands down the best addition to the game this year imo
Very true, but when SDS implemented it, they should have adjusted a few stadiums to account for the change and balance things out a little.

Nah...they need to just stop touching [censored] without telling us. I wouldn't toss the word nerf around too freely, just means more RNG. "Nerf" with what variables exactly? Adjusting sliders for when we load into Shippett? No fcking thanks, I'm tired of playing a game that constantly feels fcked with. I don't think the stadium nerfing is a viable solution. Shippett isn't the problem.

Ok, not “nerf.” They should’ve adjusted some stadiums to balance out game play. Move fences back or something. Why does a stadium at that elevation in that climate have a center field fence less than 400 feet away?

Pitching/umpiring is definitely a huge problem.
But Shippett? Geezus. Especially on AS.
I JUST finished a game there. On AS. Tight game, nothing special. I think I was up 4-3 after six innings.
My opponent scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 7th.
Then I scored 7 in the top of the 8th.
Then in the bottom of the 9th, he hit back-to-back homeruns to walk it off and win 12-11.
And the funny thing was, we both knew it would happen.
And that game just cemented it for me: I will NEVER play another road game.
It’s not that I don’t want to play on the road, but it’s the only way I can guarantee not playing at Shippett every game. I DO NOT enjoy slugfests.
Shippett on AS is tee-ball with grown men swinging the bats. It’s not enjoyable.
It’s just stupid.

If they introduce new stadiums with neutral climate and end up replacing shippett like you suggested, I wouldn't mind that at all. I'm just not a fan of them touching anything we can't quantify ourselves, they aren't transparent at all about many things.

Understood. And I edited my last pair to better reflect what I meant. “Nerfing” does have certain connotations to it.

Here's a way to "nerf" shippett. Just lower the elavation. that is all they need to do

This might be the easiest solution.

Shippet has always been OP and MLB stadiums have always been frowned upon when playing online. Considering how many people play at shippet I doubt we’ll see any of the minor league stadiums change any time soon if at all.

I think the fact that so many people play at Shippett versus all the other stadiums shows that a change needs to be made.

Or a change needs to be made to the game and other stadiums. The hitting in game is very inconsistent with exit velos. Shippett maximizes the chances of a good/okay center pci hit to go out, which is what skilled hitters want. It’s unbelievably frustrating flying out on perfect pci placement. Why is shippett the only minor league field with a great batter’s eye? Why not make other minor league fields more appealing by giving them better batters eyes?

You said “maximizes” which is the key word. Shippett at its elevation, short fences and warm climate maxes out the hitting to an unrealistic level. It’s not the batters eye.

As long as it’s as easy as it is to place the pci and time up pitches, the hitting is gonna be unrealistic
