How to fix pitching? Revert to 17.
-
I completely agree I'm actually at the point that if I don't even want to play anymore now that I'm done with the conquest maps. I just don't understand why they had to massively buff the PCI and nerf pitching at the same time it just makes me hate the game which sucks because I absolutely loved 19. I'm actually regretting getting a digital copy of the game because if I could return it or trade it in I would.

Yeah...17 pitching was a little too easy...but at least you could attack your opponent in a variety of ways...and it usually felt satisfying.

Yes on everything but #4. I think more calls on the corner should be called, BUT not variable umps. I don't want RNG factoring into deciding balls/strikes
I knew this one would get a mixed reception...but it's way too easy to lay off pitches east/west imo. Variable umps could help with that. I wanted variable umps to be removed, but after spending a week with this game (and last year to a lesser degree) I think I'm starting to change my tune. But...yeah...no one wants to lose because of the umps...but I would rather have the umps taking a W from me than the AI forcing my pitches down the middle once every other at bat (sometimes more). At least with a bad call, you and I both know what's actually up.

"..but I would rather have the umps taking a W from me than the AI forcing my pitches down the middle once every other at bat"
The simple solution to that is rewarding good user input when pitching and having variable umps off.
Then the game and the umps don't decide the game, you do. It's not an either/or thing -

93 Yankee CC Sebathia from Conquest was on my rotation all year. Dude had a sub 3 ERA from day 3 to whenever I quit, best conquest reward given imo.

That 99 Guidry was the best pitcher on the game imo. Once his confidence was up, splitters and sliders were LETHAL. I remember playing Rene in an RS game and held him to 2 runs (he ended up raking in extras when I brought Chapman in haha).
I think he was like 32-5 or something crazy all online with a sub 2 playing against goons like rebel, mcgunski, etc.

The only thing that needs fixing is control...

I also liked how effective outside pitches were in '17. You either drove it the other way, or you weren't getting a hit...which is how it should be imo...like I mentioned in my original post...adjustments.

I'm consistently getting blinking meters and perfect hoops and still having the pitch end up a ball (barely...but a ball nonetheless). Like I said...it seems my choice is miss off the corner or throw it down the middle.
