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?

Blame pitching. Shipped has been around for a long time, never been an issue. Its the pitching.
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

I thought everybody knows Shippett is a launching pad.
I notice a significant increase in homeruns for both myself and my opponents versus any other stadium or park that I play at. This seems to be consistent enough for myself to believe that it's not pure coincidence.
-
Would you guys rather every well-hit ball be a home run, BUT many balls that should be fly outs are home runs as well? Or not every well-hit ball leaves the yard, but there are no cheap/undeserved home runs? Because that is the quandary of Shippett in my estimation.

I don’t know. If I was a top player with the ability to square up pitches consistently (like some people I know), I think I might want to play at big parks that aren’t forgiving. Let the more consistent player win rather than one who gets the most pop ups to carry out for dingers.

I don’t think you would. Because as a top player (not saying I am one) you’re obv going to square way more pitches up than most of your opponents. At shippett, most of these get rewarded so you can pretty much outhit everyone else, except for other top players. There generally are only 1-2 actual fluke home runs at shippett, if that. At other stadiums, particularly mlb stadiums or parks with big dimensions, it can be hard at times to scratch across a few runs due to lag or difficulty seeing the ball, so bloopers and bad animations can have a much bigger impact on the game.

True, but It could go work both ways. Obviously by now everybody knows minor league stadiums play better than MLB stadiums. And Shippett along with several other minor league stadiums make the ball absolutely fly. It’d be nice to have a themed team and be able to play at their respective MLB stadium without having balls die on the fly all the time. Not asking for a HRD either like last year but somehow make it in between SDS
-
I think I agree with Mitch on this one. If it were possible to locate your pitches without random hangers, Shippett, and too much offense in general, would be less of a problem.
