600 lvl and above games. Wth is going on
-
finally made it there and I was around 33-42 overall with thoughts of getting to 500 finally. (I'm a rookie) I had just passed wild card I think. Now I've played 5 games and lost all 5 straight. 4 of 5 I lost closely but I went from being able to start hitting ok to hitting like [censored] again. Why? This is why, Dude all of the sudden this level of play is all dam sliders from opposing pitching. They don't challenge the zone at all...I lost one game 1 to 0 cause my outfielder decides to miss a ground ball that rolls to fence, guy gets a triple, then he bunts for the sac all he threw was slider after slider then once in a while spot a high fb for a strike....but again I literally couldn't hit for 5 fukin games. Is this the level where all u see are SLIDERS? I have no answers for hitting. All I can do sometimes is guess and I don't really like it. I want to be able to move my cursor to ball.i have to get outnof dd games and go to regular online rated games where I'm 13-2 to get some success at the plate. I switch from strikezone to zoom and back depending on the feel of the opposing pitcher. Anymore suggestions on hitting? Also on dd the opposing hitting is much more Select in mid 600 games. I can spot balls on the box line and they won't swing but I'm getting fooled constantly by the effing slider...

Players are just better at that level. If you're chasing pitches out of thr zone they are gonna keep going there. Try taking until you have 2 strikes a few times so you can try to pick up their pattern and hopefully get a few balls out of the zone.

Yea, take two strikes so then I can throw you a slider.
Best thing to do is go into custom practice and check just the sinker and slider.

as you go up in level youre going to find people throw in the zone less if you dont give them a reason.
When you go into games now expect to see the following in first few pitches: A fastball and/or sinker up and in, a change up and/or curveball down in the dirt, and a slider and/or a cutter away. People are fishing to see if you chase any of these - if you do they will start to go to it more and more for out pitches.
Look at it this way - if I throw you a slider down and away and you swing through it every time why should i throw you anything else?
Also taking a wild stab - are you playing on a slightly older tv?

You're just gonna complain about the connection and say the AI decided who would win so whats it matter? -

Will try

You have to take more pitches and be picky at what you swing at. I've been playing this game for years and it's the same [censored] every year. Get in a game and they throw non stop garbage.
I don't like playing 90 minute games, every at bat takes forever unless you swing at stuff you shouldn't
