Closest thing we have to good hitting in years and it has to be ruined by a few people that think finally being properly rewarded for good input is hitting being “too easy”
Can’t wait for the complaints about the RNG fests that are sure to happen!
+1. I’m still not sure why they didn’t just slightly increase the pitch speeds and shrink the PCI. While I will say I was still getting good/okay on perfectly centered pci placement occasionally, the hitting was definitely rewarding when you received “perfect” timing/placement. Probably the best hitting had been since 16 imo. Just needs the pitch speeds of 16.

Well just played a ranked game. 2 runs combined. I won and my opponent made great contact against my pitcher all game with no results.
It was no fun, I won with 2 solo HRs that felt like luck.
This game sucks now.

There is so many people that want a “sim style” game and I just don’t get it. 3-2 games are exciting in real life but in a video game I want to smack baseballs. You can’t have rewarding input without high scoring games (You could in 16, but with 125 attributes and more people that have played 3 years since then and YouTube videos to help the new players, everyone has become much better hitters overall than they were in 16). 16-15 games are fun. 2-1 games are not

Yeah and I miss when in cs I would be able to no hit somebody because I pride myself on pitching . I have always won games off my pitching. Can’t say that so far this year. Not saying mashing balls isn’t fun I’m saying make pitching better

It took less than a week for SDS to ruin the great product they delivered on launch. The hitting changes from this patch need to be immediately rolled back.

I feel like I’m speaking for the general population of people who play this and I’m talking about the people who play DD RS and even the custom league guys. Hitting was about as close to mlb 16 as you could have gotten and for most of us that was the best game you made to date. Stop tweaking hitting to have pitching catch up. All we want is more on the black calls more umpire randomness and for love of all things holy fix the sensitivity on the pitching meters so we’re not hanging balls down the plate. That is all.
And ps.
No sinker or splitter at the shins should go for a home run unless it’s Adrian Beltre or vlad the impaler of balls in the dirt
Thanks
Don't speak for other people unless you know for sure that's their thought process as well.
Honestly speaking this game is going to collect virtual dust on my dashboard soon cause nothing they are doing is catering to the causals who just wanna play a game of baseball online.
If the top players want the game to be more of a sim....let them create their own game.

Top players want the exact opposite, top players want to be rewarded for good input, not be artificially limited by other factors after their input.

I’m below average at this game and I feel
That if I hit 310 with a guy ( or 250) and some other guy that is a beast can hit 565 with the same batter, then so be it, he deserves it for being better than me. This sim junk always annoys me, if someone wants a sim Then make a “sim playlist” and let them Play that while everyone that appreciates user input and skill played the regular RS. -
I could not agree more. The game was FUN again. Thus you had fixed the hitting back to, at least, where it didnt feel like fingers on a chalkboard. All you had to do was adjust the dam pitching. What did you do though? You went out of your way to break hitting, yet again. Are your programmers simply incompetent? Not capable of realizing what is working and what is not? Adjust the hitting back to where it was 24 hours ago, tweak the pitching to where we can hit our spots if we have good timing, and wa lah. You have yourselves good game play. It's that simple. I though am not about to play fly out/ line out central again.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I wish I could remove the patch and still play Showdown/DD.
