I have always argued against more user input and less randomness because I knew this would happen. When I can paint corners with a silver pitcher just as well as a diamond pitcher while using PPP then the cards do not matter any longer. They might as well give all pitchers the same "per nines" as they have become meaningless. It does save me stubs though.
This is exactly how I feel about the entire online portion of the game. Stats just don't matter other than SPEED. Speed is the only stat that seems to be obvious.
I have been trying to figure out the difference between competitive mode and simulation mode but can't seem to tell any difference because to use simulation mode you have to be offline and play the CPU. Online vs the CPU on competitive mode doesn't seem any different than offline in simulation mode.
As far as PPP, it needs to be a lot harder to throw a perfect pitch. All 3 stages should matter, not just the two release circles.
Bottom line - PPP is too easy for the results you get, make it harder, For example, with a level 99 pitcher, the pattern should be slow and easy, but with a level 55 pitcher it should be a lot faster and harder to accoplish.
I agree with this 100%
I think the best way to differentiate the pitchers would to have lower rated pitchers given much less leighway on the tracing/timing. Kinda like bad hitters have a really small PCI which = less room for error.

- The most important part to consider: The hitter is trying to get on base, the pitcher wants an out. Both individuals have a right to winning and only one will come out on top.
- PinPoint is not a problem...could it be tweaked? Sure. But its not the biggest issue the game is facing.
- Pitchers have habits/patterns -- after a few innings, go to the pitch analysis to see what they are doing v lefty/righty hitters.
- You have to take pitches, especially when they are close to the black. The more pitches you see early, the more data is included in the pitching analysis. Plus the SP will eat pitches/burn energy.
- No your strengths and weakness -- I am pretty bad at working my PCI low to high, but good at working it high to low. So I tend to setup in the upper 1/2-1/3 of the strike zone.
- Shrink your strike zone: by half, by quadrants -- whatever fits the pitchers pattern.
- Be ok with not being right and do not force a swing unless down in the count. If I think a dude is going to pitch a high outside FB and they hit me with a low inside Slider that dots the lower corner...odds are I'm going to give him that pitch to live a little longer at the plate.
Finally, if you REALLY REALLY care enough to change the course of what your are upset with when playing online, PRACTICE. If you're sick of striking out on high and inside FB, go practice hitting high inside FB. Practicing to improve weaknesses is better than complaining to others to cater to your weaknesses.

How can you work a pitcher if PPP allows someone to constantly spot low and away sliders?

Great points but all the things you listed are common sense approaches that a baseball player would make/take. This forum is 78% pimple poppers who want everything gift wrapped for them. That's why companies like SDS are fighting a never ending battle. They can adjust something 100% exactly what the cry babies are crying about but they wont even be happy or appreciate that adjustment. Instead they'll move on down their ladder of their cry baby list of complaints/demands. Stick to Fortnite and World of Warcraft.

Being able to throw a pitch in the exact same spot every time is no different than spamming the same play in madden over and over.

If you get beat by someone spamming the same play over and over that's on you. Seriously do you people have a complaint about everything??!!!!

It's a video game. It tries to replicate real life as much as possible but sometimes there's limitations...

The things you are crying about are easily countered. You just dont want to put the effort into finding out how.

GOB's not onboard...
If EVERY pitch is spotted on the low-outside corner, then you just picked up on the pattern...I would recommend placing the PCI low and outside.

Which is why you play LB or S to prevent play spamming in madden. Now does playing those positions take practice, some Football IQ and Skill? Yes.
Weird...its kind of like MLB: TS...requiring practice, some IQ and skill.

Think it’s important to remember it is still a video game, you wouldn’t want it to be exactly like real life or we’d be playing 3 hour games. This thread does make me feel tempted to try out pinpoint pitching though, I’ve always been a pulse kind of guy myself.

My contribution to this thread will be short and sweet: I've always preferred meter and will continue to use meter. Don't care if I don't get any higher than 700 in RS.
I'm content.

I think perspective is huge here, and you really laid it out nice and simply: Know who you are, be OK with who you are.
Or make the adjustments necessary to become the person you want to be.
I am in my 30s, work 40 hrs a week and do not have the time to grind like I did when I was in my teens/20s. I will never hit WS in ranked games...sh!t I may never break 650. I have no intent on grinding to get better at the game. Fine, I can still have fun. My team is freak'n loaded and I may have played a total of 15 online games.
I play moments, conquest, v CPU and v CPU community teams. I love it.
The complaints about ranked games/PPP scream "I want to be good at this game, but I am not -- and its the developers fault that that is the case."
The NEED to win should not usurp the enjoyment of competition -- and that concept is totally lost on people.

I wouldn't go that far. There are some sound complaints about PPP being too easy and contact swing being OP.
I'm 51 years old and my RS record is 7-11, I seem to play RTTS more than anything and play a real life friend online for fun.
Interested in Franchise mode but just haven't jumped in yet. -

It certainly didn’t help it. People that don’t know how to pitch probably like it though.
Dude stop. "People who don't know how to pitch probably like it" lmao. The game forced pitches with good input down the middle in 18, 19 and 20. The guys who liked that were the scrubs who can't hit pitches on the black and have to wait for those cookies down the middle to be somewhat successful. I'm not gonna make assumptions which category your or OP fit, but take a good long look on the mirror and decide for yourself.
So to you the opposite of that was to put it in the exact same spot every time with such a simplistic system? Then when your opponent hits it’s just random output? Okay. I just always base my opinion on the fact that gamers nowadays, and after 8 years in sports games especially sports gamers, win at every cost and want to cheese as much as possible so if something new is added to the game and the majority of people like it then it probably isn’t good for the actual game. If a YouTuber found a way to bunt for a base hit every time 100% right now that is all you would see online until it was patched.
And I’m alright at the game. Would be better if I enjoyed it online. In actual games I’m probably 80% win and would be higher if I cared to enough stick around. I pitch with analog by the way and still think it’s too easy compared to the randomness of hitting. But it is what it is. And that’s the game.
If you can hit pitches in every location, it doesn't matter if your opponent can throw accurate pitch after accurate pitch. However, If you can't hit every pitch in every location, then yes you have something to complain about. Case and point I would assume.
So you telling me sinker up and in is real baseball ? telling me being patient at the plate ... looking for a pitch you can drive , forcing pitchers in fastball counts ...man this isnt even baseball its all about who can put the PCi on the ball at any locations ... why take any pitches then there is no point because anybody can spot a offspeed in a fastball count.... you just a stupid fkin gamer ... not a baseball fan gtfo lol
Sinker up and in has nothing to do with the pinpoint mechanic and everything SDS shoddy programming.
Has everything to do with it as with pinpoint you can just dot up and in broken sinkers
So what? Just crush them. I don't understand why people have so much issues with these sinkers despite it not being realistic.
Because for every player that can consistently hit that pitch there are probably 25 that can’t. Add in that connectivity and frame rate really impacts high velocity inside pitches and quite often those pitches are unhittable.
I want tweaks. Up and in sinkers being the best pitch needs to go. In the dirt curveballs and chamges need to be more effective.
I think pinpoint though is straight cheese to the point of running 4 verticals in madden.
So the fact that Cliff Lee threw 6 shutouts in a year doesn’t constitute dotting like he does in the game??? And if you know up and in sinkers are being thrown, then sit on it? Learn to adjust. What are they supposed to do, take a sinker out of the game? And if we are complaining about pitching just know that most baseball scores irl is 3-2. So most of the time pitchers are dotting and there are a bunch of line outs, get over it.
