It’s way better. I only threw a handful of “perfects” the entire game. I wasn’t cheesed to death by contact swing, and if you don’t know how to pitch sequence, you’re gonna get touched up. This is the way it should be.
I'm referring to the fact that last year the game was horrible due to pitching being so random. Good releases could go down the middle. And now they fixed that issue, and yes pinpoint was very accurate. But if you can hit, you can hit those pitches on the black too. Has nothing to do with sequencing and everything to do with the ability to hit. And now they go I'm reverse to make it more random, because the average hitters cried hard. Again.
How is pitching more random? They just tightened up the thresholds to get perfect or good input. It didn’t increase the perfect radius from what I can see so far. That’s not adding randomness but rather adding skill imo
Just play man you'll see what I mean. A bit off makes pitches sail and go down the middle, very much like last year and even the year before to a certain extent. Missing a perfect is now punished heavier and having a "good" release doesn't mean anything, it can be a meatball if the game decides to do so. Again, just play a few games and you'll see.
You’re basically telling people to get better at hitting pitches on the back while saying pitching needs to remain how easy it was.
That's not what I said, don't put words in my mouth. Read my comments again if you have to.

I'd love to see some video examples of all these meatballs happening with pin point because majority of people here tend to exaggerate their feedback by about 200%
And if PPP is harder to execute perfect pitches then that's a good thing. The most accurate pitching mechanic SHOULD be the hardest to perfect.
I agree but the problem is not that the execution got harder. That's fine and it's a welcome change. The problem is the result when you do end up missing the perfect. How far will it be off from the mark? Does it depend on how much you miss and with what angle? Or does the game simply punish you for missing by throwing a very hittable pitch belt high?
As you can see it's not as simple as you and others before you are putting it. In my sample size so far, it is more random than it was before. And I don't like the randomness, that was THE issue last year.
Let's say if I miss by 5° on a late release, it will always end up in the same spot if I miss by those numbers. That's something I can work with, because I can calculate the margins and risk of throwing a certain pitch in a certain spot. I felt like that was present before but it isn't now. And that not knowing when the game will force one down the middle, THAT is my issue.
I see what you’re saying and that would be the ideal setup. But it’s kinda like the hitting. There is RNG involved. I guess since the PCI doesn’t represent the barrel the PPP system doesn’t represent the actual delivery
Like I said, it's not about the input but about the output. I think it needs to be consistent based on the input and right now it doesn't seem that way. That's all I'm arguing.

Thank gawd the game isn't like how you want it. How sterile that would be. You seriously want to be able to predict baseball outcomes to that degree? You want the ball to ALWAYS end up in the same spot if you miss similarly with perfect pitching input? You want to be able to "calculate" how off a pitch is going to be? I think you, and people who want the game like you do, is why they fixed it.

Yes, I do want that. And I'm not alone in that regard, pretty much every competitive player out there wants it this way and less RNG. That's why most of us hated last year's game. The only people who DON'T want this, are the average Joe's who need a RNG meatball down the middle every once in a while to get on the board.

I'm probably worse than an average joe, but I agree, I honestly want the output to match the input a lot more. I don't mind losing to better players at all, but it drives me up the wall to have even match-ups (or worse) clearly decided on things that are wholly computer-determined. Even if it would help me, I don't want the RNG meatballs in the game.

I don't think every competitive player wants easy pitching and difficult hitting. Has to be a balance. I think you are just better at hitting so you want pitching to be easier than hitting. Pitching was too easy. That said, yes they are going to cater to the most players and not to a handful of elite joystick controllers who want sterile gameplay.

Pitching was too easy. That said, yes they are going to cater to the most players and not to a handful of elite joystick controllers who want sterile gameplay.
Let me clarify again, for the gazillionth time, that I agree with the argument that there needs to be more balance. There are two different things involved though and that is input and output. RNG is solely connected to output, not on the input. So if you make the perfect input harder to achieve but leave the output the way it was before, that would do the trick. A similar example in regards to hitting would be narrowing the perfect area on the barrel when you swing the bat - but when you do get that perfect hit the outcome will still be a good result. Do you understand what I'm trying to explain? These two things input and output are not the same but both are calculated for a result. Change the input parameters all you want, but leave the output alone.

Why is it odd? If we're being picky, you're wrong, because pitchers don't throw RNG meatballs in real life. They make mistakes in real life. It's not algorithmed that their pitches are going to hang. I'd like to see the game reflect genuine mistakes (of course the hitter still has to hit it) but altering the criteria of what contributes to those mistakes and when those mistakes when happen is a layer of artifice the real-life pitcher does not need to navigate.

What I like is for my 99 pitcher to be warmed up at the beginning of the game, confident in his pitches, and to have good ratings. At this point, I want my perfect pitches to be perfect most of the time. But then as the game goes on. As my pitcher tires or loses a bit of confidence, i want even my perfect input to get a little out of wack and for the output to become less pleasing to me. I want there to be a need to bring in a reliever to improve my input and the output of the other player. This makes the game dynamic and cannot be done my having my input have the exact same output ALL the time.
-
I just need them to fix the timing windows of Edward Cabrera and Fernando Valenzuela. Why is Christy Mathewsons higher rated screwball easy to hit and Fernandos impossible to time up? Same for Cabrera- why can I time up Crochets 102, but not Cabrera

It's not a given that pitchers will get 'worse' as a game goes on. Sometimes players get stronger as the game goes along (we see this in real life). One of the most important factors for gaming should be the human player's ability to focus and concentrate, so under those conditions (and with a good card the stat boosts will always help) it's possible to keep pitching well without the computer necessarily interfering to make you make a mistake.

I do not think he computer actively interferes in output. It is coded into the game, but there isn't a demon in there waiting to force a mistake. It is true though that pitchers can get better, but they usually get tired. Either way though, they usually change over the course of a game. This change with respect to human factors such as fatigue is welcome. Conspiracy theories about how the game cheated you are just dumb.

Overall I think I'm happy with the patch. Meatballs are back which is frustrating but nowhere near the level of last year and none on perfect releases. I'm not getting nearly as many perfect releases which if I'm being honest with myself is more accurate to how I've done. Before the patch there were definitely times I was like "how in the world did I get a perfect release there?"
-
To have a system where you can calculate early or late and aim for that once again makes it too easy. That’s just my .02
I’m throwing a slider away to RH, I make sure I’m either perfect or late, ball is never thrown over plate. I mean I guess you possibly get more walks but the pitch results don’t really change. Every pitch is back to the corner or slightly off.
I just don’t care about the comp scene at all because I know the game isn’t comp and won’t be IMo

And if PPP is harder to execute perfect pitches then that's a good thing. The most accurate pitching mechanic SHOULD be the hardest to perfect.
I agree but the problem is not that the execution got harder. That's fine and it's a welcome change. The problem is the result when you do end up missing the perfect. How far will it be off from the mark? Does it depend on how much you miss and with what angle? Or does the game simply punish you for missing by throwing a very hittable pitch belt high?
As you can see it's not as simple as you and others before you are putting it. In my sample size so far, it is more random than it was before. And I don't like the randomness, that was THE issue last year.
Let's say if I miss by 5° on a late release, it will always end up in the same spot if I miss by those numbers. That's something I can work with, because I can calculate the margins and risk of throwing a certain pitch in a certain spot. I felt like that was present before but it isn't now.

I don't mind losing to better players at all, but it drives me up the wall to have even match-ups (or worse) clearly decided on things that are wholly computer-determined. Even if it would help me, I don't want the RNG meatballs in the game.
Odd. I want to even be the pitcher who throws RNG meatballs. Why? Because that happens in baseball. Pitchers do that all the time.
It sure does happen in a real game. All sorts of unusual thing. But, that's because a ball gets away from a pitcher, or a base-runner slips trying to steal. Teams come back from 5 run deficits in the 9th inning.
I believe the point most ppl are trying to make about this game is..when you are right-on/exact/timed-perfectly with your pitch or bat meter...the game should never animate it as an RNG meatball or a swung-through-too-late.
There are times in many games I actually do, accidentally, throw a hanger..I seldom ever get punished for it. If those were the times I gave up that single homerun that lost me a 1-0 game I wouldn't be as incredulous about the silly game predispositions.
The ones that turn into home runs are almost always pitches that went exactly where I metered up for. Unfortunately, the AI will animate those pitches as meatballs. That is the problem. This is the RNG/DDA/AI-interference/whatvs in the game that drive people to make hateful posts.
So, you are singing off a different song-sheet in regards to "that's what really happens in baseball".

The patch the broke the gane. Mound visit causes a freeze off. Contact swing isn’t fixed, it’s a joke.

".the game should never animate it as an RNG meatball or a swung-through-too-late."
Why not? I understand the argument. I disagree that RNG is a problem as long as that RNG is calculated with player card ratings weighing the calculation. If I swing the bat and hit it perfect/perfect, I should not get the same output from a common player as from a 99. You want your input to eliminate player ratings and the effect of those ratings on RNG. We simply disagree on how we want the game to play.
