When we saw how great hitting was at launch and how much fun the game was to play, I'm sure we all knew they would patch it and ruin it. I was shocked that they only waited a few days though.
Right? And I really don't expect them to change it back. There was a lot of complaining last year and they never reverted back. I doubt it happens this year. You have some people they don't mind it, so SDS can simply say feel as though some like it and some don't (and you're always going to have that).
Honestly, I know people have compared it to last year, but I feel like it was better last year. Yeah, you didn't have this random perfect-perfect that you still get SOMETIMES, but I still felt like overall hitting was even better last year, even with the lineouts. I at least felt I was hitting the ball hard when I had good timing/PCI placement.

@Harryhukari33 agreed.

Ok. IMPO, the worst ever, although I have only been playin DD since 2017. The timing windows are broken, good PCI placement not being rewarded, good/ok results on perfectly centered PCI 10 times a game, etc....
Yes it is so broken pci middle of ball and good ok weak pop up... so frustrating
-
i really enjoyed the game on release pre patch. i thought it was the best most balanced edition of the SHOW since the ps2 days. then the patch happened.
-
I honestly believe hitting is better after the patch as well

You're joking right? Ok Ramone....scroll through the forums a bit and read how like 90% of the community feels about hitting, especially since the patch...worst MLB The Show hitting experience ever, not even close...
You’re being dramatic. The hitting last year was atrocious. At least this year takes some skill to win.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it feels like pitch speeds need to be increased. Granted, I've only been grinding the event, but I am early on everything, so are the majority of my opponents. I guess I'm still used to 19, that seemed faster.
I'm doing horrible in the event, only 11 wins vs 20 some losses, just to show my skill level.
If you are swinging early at everything then you need to slow down. Last year everyone was swinging ridiculously early at everything and guessing early. It was ridiculous.
This year takes more skill in adjusting. Play the challenge of the week to adjust your timing better. It’s more skill not to guess fastball every pitch.

You’re not playing on HOF in the event. Once you get to DS you won’t be asking this.

I don’t have any trouble pitching.

Lol. You are delirious. The last 3 shows, in order were
17 - be late be great
18 - slow pitch softball
19 - mlb the lineout showTHIS

I've had no problem pitching and or hitting, I think input genuinely matters in this show. To anyone who said hitting got harder I dont see how? I still get as many perfect/perfects and hit more homeruns and base hits now then before pre patch. I think a bunch of people on here watch streamers who cry about any change anytime before even getting use to it and hopped on the band wagon and have no clue or thought for themselves. Make up your own mind and dont quote some great idiotic streamer. Half the people at the top could wipe their [censored] with that guy.... hitting is great, my games are high scoring. When I face a decent opponent oh boy is it fun winning 8-7 again not 1-0 and a line out fest

Pitching is an issue lol, hitting perfect meter and throwing meatballs 3 quadrants away shouldn't happen

Yeah, I'm starting to get the timing down, played some event games last night and I wasn't so jumpy. And as mentioned taking pitches is a must. I'm wanting to start RS, but seeing some of these teams in the event, I'm hesitating. But it would probably be good to get back into it. Still finishing building my team.

I take this 100% back. Hitting nonsense is getting ridiculous. At first it was nice not seeing as many HR being hit. However now user input for solid contact on pitches feels off. Too many good/good and perfect/perfect outs
-
I’ll admit that I’ve adjusted to the hitting on HOF, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the timing is perfect (still far from it). Have you made it to HOF difficulty in RS yet? @Amishjosh
-
Imagine how much fun the forums will be once this game is on multiple consoles.

@James97M said in Absolutely love the hitting:
Offense has been reduced. It's mjch better than it was. Just because 20 homeruns aren't hit per game doesn't mean hitting is bad. Pitching still needs a tune up
What in the world are you talking about... After this last patch it is easier to hit HRs than it is to get base hits.
