No one enjoys not being rewarded when you get a perfect-perfect but what we're saying is that we understand that that is just how baseball works. Anyone who believes they should be rewarded every time they do something perfectly just needs to honestly stay away from anything that has to do with baseball because that's just not how baseball works.
You aren’t Mike trout. Mike trout doesnt flail at pitches in the dirt. Check swing 40 times a game and foul off 40 balls 15 feet out of the zone until he gets a meatball mistake 0-2 down the middle that he was already going to swing at because (what do you know) he swings at every pitch.
This isn’t a baseball simulation it’s a competitive baseball game and user input should reign supreme in a video game. Perfect perfect outs should be about 5% if that. The only way I would say it should be more is if they completely did away with bad input hits.
I mean that first paragraph is a whole different issue. I do agree with them not allowing all these foul balls. I don't know where I said I believe that that is fine or that I agree that that should be acceptable. As for perfect-perfect outs being 5%, I'm sorry but that is crazy to me. Yes it is a competitive mode but so is the MLB and other baseball leagues and guess what? You get out on perfectly squared up balls. I really don't understand why you would play a baseball game and not want it to simulate real baseball. The people who think like you don't want an actual baseball game. What you want is a mode where both teams get a certain amount of batters each and there are no fielders and it is just simply who ever get's the most perfect-perfects wins. If that's what you want then that's fine but that would be a batting practice mode, not baseball. For the most part, the person with more good inputs is usually going to win. Have I won with less good inputs and lost with more good inputs before? Of course, but for the most part I believe the person with the most good inputs is going to win MOST OF THE TIME as it should be.
Honestly I’m not even annoyed at perfect perfect outs really because they didn’t annoy me in the beta what annoys me about 19 and 20 is out inputting my opponent an entire game while they strike out flailing and then they get a mistake — the perfect perfect outs just add to the misery. Just let the better players win when they play better the person who plays the best should win.

The fact that players can flail around and get lucky is by far the biggest issue

I can’t even count the amount of times I had good squared good squared perfect perfect for 12 straight at bats — and now their pitcher is at 26 pitches. But I’m hitting dots and they are flailing hitting the back end of their bat 0-2 and check swinging everything off speed with 15 pitch at bats and they can’t square anything up. And now I’m at 75 pitches.
Sorry but that’s horrible gameplay... I’m not saying you don’t agree. I honestly don’t understand how anyone doesn’t agree

Ok here’s a question. I had a PP fly all with mantle 20 degree launch angle, 106 exit velo and it was a fly out to 10 feet before the track

Okay so that I can agree with you with. If you're constantly hitting perfect perfects and the other person strikes out 20 times and flails constantly and wins because the two or three they hit go out then ya that I can understand. I just don't believe that all perfect perfect hits should be hits or that the person with the most perfects should get a guaranteed win. If both players play well and one has a few more perfect perfects that doesn't mean they should win but in the situation that you're explaining I can understand why you would be upset with the outcome.

I think people on both sides of the arguments can agree thet PP flyballs with power hitters should pretty much always be homeruns (unless it's at Polo grounds). The argument is more about perfect line drives and grounders.

I don’t constantly hit perfect perfects but it’ll be like good squared, good squared, good squared, perfect perfect, good squared, good squared. And they will all be outs...I find this to be the case on ranked seasons more then anything and yes you are facing better pitchers — but my game style is not to foul 100 pitches out of the zone off. I don’t know. Seems like 18,19, and 20
Have all been geared toward really bad players imo. From what we’ve seen of 21 it seems like they are abandoning that motto...but I guess time will tell.I still think foul tips need to be addressed

What if the pitcher perfectly nailed his input and it went exactly where it was supposed to go?
What if the defending player set up the field perfectly for the perfect-perfect liner to be caught, or the grounder to be hit right to the SS?
Whose perfection matters more?

It’s like the flyouts are preprogrammed to manipulate the outcome of a game. I have seen good good contacts resulting in pop outs. I’m not kidding you. I said before the current hitting engine needed to improve but after playing for weeks now I can tell you that the game needs a completely new hitting engine. The current hitting engine needs to be nuked from reality.

I understand what you are saying about realism but like I’ve said before. The point is not if “it happens”. The point is this is a video game
And when one player flails at every pitch. Fouls off anything thrown for 12 pitch at bats. Check swings and strikes out. And the other player works counts and squares up balls... the rewarded player is the player that isnt making the better inputs. That’s just the reality. You can talk realism until you are blue in the face but until players follow that realism with their gameplay it’s not about realism...it’s about the player with the BETTER OVERALL INPUTS — should be the player with more success.
It’s like I’ve seen ppl have no idea what they are looking at get mistakes in the middle and crush the ball. That’s not a big deal...it’s a run it happens. What makes it annoying is the 15 lineouts before and after that.
Drop the “thats baseball” nonsense. It’s not baseball to flail at every pitch you see.

If the worse hitting player out of the two of us just happens to get lucky with their input (perfect input, not the game spoonfeeding them) when there are bases loaded with Trout batting and they are down 3 runs to zero, and that’s the only time in the game they have perfect hitting input, that’s circumstantial. That happens.
Surely you’d be ok with that? It’s not as simple as saying better overall number of inputs should prevail. The nine innings are independent of each other. Nine good inputs all in one inning should probably beat 18 good inputs spread evenly* over 9 innings, even in a video game.
What you are saying about hits on terrible swings - that I agree with. And good inputs being constantly unrewarded, I also agree with to an extent (unless fielding placement is perfect). But baseball is a special video game because you don’t have to be the better overall player to be the victor.
I can’t go so far as to say you are wrong (you are not). But I don’t feel you are completely right.

The way you are describing it are not the games that annoy me. I don’t get annoyed if myself and my opponent both are putting good swings on the ball...if I just so happen to put a few good swings on the ball more...but he wins. It’s baseball. I am cool with that
Where I have a problem. (And this is really a bad issue in this game) is when I’m consistently putting good inputs on the ball. And my opponent is not ever putting any good inputs on the ball. And I start getting missed perfect meters down the middle for him to swing at...late weak hits four feet out of the zone for hits and runs...it’s like that’s stealing the victory from the better player...and it happens SO MUCH In the last few years it’s actually mind boggling. (More so on allstar and below really)

Out of curiosity perfect game but what is your record in ranked?
-
Ok for one thing, at the beginning of the year SDS said in stream that a PP fly ball with a hitter of 85 power or over would be a home run every time. This turned out to be 100% not true.
For another thing, I will be curious to see how many of you “that’s baseball” guys are still saying the same thing after a year (or more) of not getting good outcomes from your input.
