Playing on anything above all star only ends in frustration as I swing and miss at pitch after pitch, desperately praying that I accidentally connect with something at least once so I can feel like I'm not completely wasting my time. For weaker players like me, this post might as well be written in a foreign language. lol

Finally someone speaking my language, I basically just call those people online DD casual noobs, they only care about hitting homeruns and scoring 15 runs a game and collecting cards. They basically don't care about the simulation aspect of baseball...they just want to play arcade baseball.....Like how F1 players just play online as bumper cars instead of respecting the sport and racing and making proper moves.

why not ask them directly ?

I don't understand how anyone plays any game on less than max difficulty. I mean jeez every game I complete in one try blindfolded with my left hand just to make it challenging. Please worship me on these boards as I have no life.
Have a good day man

This was pretty funny can't lie

I don't know how anyone plays on hof or above. I thought I was at least an average player but my 1 hof game in RS taught me otherwise. Opponents rating was in the 800s where I was 701. Not sure ifthat was hof or legend. But i struggled terribly.

Yeah I do okay on all-star but if I play any lower I really struggle I wasn't trying to flex I just wanted tips on how to hit consistently on the lower difficulties all the pitches look the same to me and the pci is to large

Because I'm not very good. That's why. I'm old and I have bad eye sight.

It also can come down to the skill level of the player. Also not all game modes are the same. MTO Rookie feels more like Conquest Veteran. vrs. CPU Rookie feels like MTO Beginner. I have won some games in vrs. CPU on All-Star. Conquest All-Star tears me to pieces.
I think all players have a sweet spot in difficulty. I started playing MTO at Beginner, figured out 75% of the pitches are center cut just high of middle, it wasn't fun anymore. Rookie & Vet make me have to be patient, so that's where I have the most fun. Played one season on Dynamic entered the playoffs at Vet+ hitting and AS pitching. Had trouble not walking batters. Offense was spotty (realistically) and I had to win a game 7 with a miracle walk-off HR to get to the WS. That was the most fun I'd had in the game because I was sooo close to actually losing the NLCS. If you or the OP play on the same difficulty and sweep every series by double digit run differential then yeah play higher, but don't put down the people who do find it a challenge.

Its good you're having fun with all those modes....I would be completely bored from the lack of challenge required for those fluff modes. For me its Franchise on Legend hitting and pitching with pitch speeds maxed at 10 with a slider set I've worked on for about 70 hours and ideas taken from Operations Sports before I start the regular season.

What pci do you use on all-star or lower I use basic but have a hard time squaring up the ball any tips that is really why I made this thread I could have titled it better

I use fish eye PCI, zone hitting with guess quadrant. Pretty much what I've used ever since I started playing The Show many years ago. I guess I'm stubborn in not trying other settings. I used to always guess low and sit middle, but this year since it's actually possible to HR off a high pitch (used to be impossible in older versions) I often guess high when no one is on base. I've been practicing moving the PCI with mixed success, a lot of the time I overcompensate and hit a grounder or pop-up. That's why I don't understand how people love the modes above AS...do you just sit in one spot and wait for a pitch there? It seems humanly impossible to move the PCI to a pitch at those difficulties, especially fastballs.

Appreciate the feedback been grinding conquest and getting a little cheesed on higher difficulties but really don't have consistent timing on all star or lower I really have to sit on everything even guys like DeGrom

I have serious trouble hitting anything low 70s and below. I have my tv set on gaming mode (otherwise fastballs are impossible) but the downside to that is that the really slow pitches process faster on the screen than in the game, so you have to swing at them when they are in the catcher's glove. A 78mph curve and a 69mph curve move exactly the same on my screen. SDS really needs to do a better job reflecting speed from hand to glove.
The other issue is the "off-the-bat" speed off of slower pitches. If you square up an 89mph change it goes over the wall...do the same with an 89mph fastball and it floats harmlessly to an outfielder. I actually prefer going against higher velo pitchers in Conquest than the lower ones.

For some reason, when I read the title, I read it with a german accent in my mind.

Not at all...that's basically how long Spring Training is, when I do Franchise I get a base slider to start off with....from about 10 Exhibition games played with tips from the bunch of sliders from Operations sports...mostly from that kucklecutter guy cause he's basing his slider on max pitch speeds. Then I take this base slider and make adjustments while playing through Spring Training....so by the time Spring training is done, which is roughly about 60 hours of gameplay my sliders are matured and ready for the regular season. In the regular season slight adjustments are made, mostly due to SDS making gameplay changes with patches.
