dirt ball challenge is DD imo

There are three things I'm going to do every game - especially if I'm using a pitcher like Sixto, DeGrom, Cole - you're going to get a heater likely in on the hands or up out of the zone - and you if you chase it you can bet we are going there again but I also want to see your timing on 100mph heat. You're going the get a slider down and away - if you chase it you can bet we are going throw it again. And you're getting a curveball or changeup in the dirt - and if you chase it I'm going to go back down there again.
If you show me that you cant resist these pitches that are clearly not a strike why would risk throwing you something to hit?
This is EXACTLY what happens in the majors as well. Look at Caven Biggio - he showed the last two years that he struggles with the high fastball - guess what he gets a steady dose of.
Someone gave you a great suggestion - take until you have 2 strikes - if they are throwing trash in the dirt you're going to end up getting your walks and they will be forced to either come into the zone.

I have a question. If you see your opponent is taking terrible swings at pitches out of thr zone are you gonna put one in the zone just for the sport of it?
I work outside in, I start outside and if a guy lays off I get more aggressive in the zone but if someone is flailing like an idiot at anything out of the zone I would be an even bigger idiot to put one in the zone until needed. -
If you dont swing at the first 3 dirt balls chances are you'll get a strike.

. If you throw pitches in the dirt you are scared . -

Why stop there let’s just make every squared up ball a automatic home run . Plate discipline is part of the game and part of the skill gap there’s already plenty foul balls as it is with pitches out the zone .
To make it even better, he's only won 2 RS games which means, he's still playing on veteran difficulty and complaining about this.....
those are online rated exhibitions, they are easy. id be 3-0 if i didnt have to leave a game. those games i was messing around with guess a pitch zone thing while batting, trying to learn the game.. i play dd rated and realized thats where i wanted to be......like a dumbarse tho, i started playing dd rated to early and fast and lost a bunch of games early.....however after alot of practice and learning more about mlb 21 and realizing the type of player i need to get or unlock for my personality, im 5 out of last 6 wins i think.

Everyone’s been influenced to use the strike zone camera, and its really not one size fits all, personally I find that view the worst at recognizing pitches and their break.
I found myself flailing at garbage pitches in the zone so I moved back to a pulled back view and I stopped chasing. -

Do you play on a monitor? If not i would guess your problem is not balls in the dirt it’s the fastball. You have to cheat so much to catch up to a fastball that you swing too fast to even see the pitch out of the hand. If you play in a monitor and still have this problem with any pitcher except a select few then you really need to work on th
yes i have an asus 1ms monitor and a xbox one x.....
Oh then I don’t know. Maybe just quit? I doubt they make a mode where pitches have to be a ball within the strike zone. Just being honest. Maybe work on your game plan. If you spit on enough dirt balls they do stop throwing them.
its just coward pitching imho....
Stop swiging at garbage and you’ll get pitches to hit

Bud, your DD record is 2-1. I think you're extremely confused about the game, game modes, and what you're doing in the game. Feel free to ask questions, there's a lot to digest in this game.

A linebacker from Detroit. Solid face, but his girlfriend is a 6 at best.

who swings at the least amount of dirtballs wins in dd....lol
i played two DD rated games and won both over the weekend but there were close games 2-1 and 3-1 i think and it basically becomes a darn dirtball fest. i think sds needs to close in on the hit box for balls down low and allow you to foul off those pitches and/or make a dirtball a little more obvious to read. to me, its very hard to distinguish a dirtball on this game as many thousands of others say and feel the same way. irl, a dirtball is easy to read, not on this game. jmo.
No. It is WAY to easy to hit balls below the zone.

A dirt ball is not easy to read IRL when you're sitting on a 97 mph heater lmao. Patience and experience OP, two tools needed to get better at the game, and 100% of swings of balls in the firt should be missed. 100%.
yes but ask yourself this. how many times does a pitcher actually throw a ball in the dirt during a pitch count irl. maybe once, once he has the batter 0-2, 1-2....not throw 5 dirtballs in at bat with a total of a 50 dirtballs in a 9 inning game. thats not baseball
Because he knows the batter has a professional eye for pitches. If he were facing a guy who swung at everything, he probably would throw nothing but dirt.
