HOF is on crack

It takes a while to get used to but once you start seeing pitchers like deGrom over and over you're gonna be smacking everyone around
Not true. There are days you can easily turn on DeGrom and other days it is just a blur and you have no chance. On those days, all the bp in the world won't help you.

I always warm up on legend in practice mode and am early/on almost everything. I play online HOF and cant catch up to nothing… late on everything. I play on a monitor etc. I wish they make practice in line with the actual game

No, you will not. Most games I've played, from the 400's to the 800's, are K fests peppered with dingers from both players.
Plus many opponents don't pitch respectfully.
RS is garbage.
Sorry bro ranked seasons is definitely not perfect but if you are striking out a whole lot that is not the game, that is you.
Nah, it's both. I'll take my lumps on this, but even C Brev refers to people pitching respectfully.
The pitching in the game is buffed crazy. Most people aren't WS Gods like you, buddy, and don't spend time "practicing" for RS games (wait, I know: you don't either, right?).
Ultimately, I guess all competitive online leagues are like this -- people playing like D-bags and milking the meta for all its worth.
Whatever.

Try playing some legend friendlies before hopping into HOF ranked. Legend offline isn't anywhere near the same as online.

Cabrera's sinker is glitched. Are you supposed swing while ball is in his hand?
-
I’m still waiting for the explanation of what constitutes “pitching respectfully”…
-
Cabreras sinker is glitched… no sinker moves like that. They need to adjust the timing windows a bit, very unrealistic/ridiculous

Relax pal im not even that good at the game. Pitching has issues as well as hitting but striking out 18 times out of 27 outs is absurd and hard to blame the game for that. Anyways good luck. Didnt mean to get your panties in a bunch. Remember, its just a video game. If it makes you this miserable just don't play.

That line blew my mind too. Does it mean throwing meatballs so he can hit the ball?

Actually it isn't. I have made WS every season and once struck out 31 times in a 12 inning game. Really hard for me to believe people can't see the server/connection issues (whatever it is) that cause the ball to look like 120 mph and makes pitches impossible to read and react. When this happens I have to sell out for fastballs or simply guess pitch and location and hope I am right. Some people rarely see them and some see them all the time. Seems like the coast people rarely experience this. It is something SDS really needs to look in to.

i think his whole pitching motion is messed up...his fastball high is so deceptive

While I disagree a lot with the D E M I S E guy, I won't disagree that consistency from game to game in pitch speeds online at same difficulty is a nightmare. I played two HOF friendlies yesterday, both against WS players. Of course both were against Degrom (I will never understand the need to always use the meta pitchers in friendles, but..). First game I scored 3 runs in the first and was able to see and turn on fastballs. Second game it was impossible to basically hit a fastball and differentiate it from the slider..... this is common, and not fun.....

Pitching disrespectfully is basically hosing 0-0 0-1 pitches down the [censored] with the mindset that your opponent either won’t swing or won’t hit the ball

simple. some people pitch a lot better than others. ur opponent isn’t always going to be the same i beat WS players all day and i’ve also lost to chumps it’s just how it is

How other's pitch has nothing to do with it. There are simply games where the pitch speeds are faster and pitches are hard to recognize. Be thankful if you don't have to deal with it or you simply can't see it, it does exist.

HOF is indeed on crack. In previous years, I was always a .290-.300 hitter. This year I legitimately haven't cracked .250 in any season so far.
-
I played on legend last night and every sinker looked like it was "Instant Transmission" from the pitchers hand to the top corner of the strike zone

it's because pinpoint pitching is too easy and many people have mastered it

Maybe thats what it is. Every pitcher just dots everything on the corner. No such thing as a mistake pitch this year

Didn't mean to come off so aggressive in my last post -- my bad!
As for "pitching respectfully," I suppose my take would be pitching in the zone at least half the time. NOT "meatballs." I throw about 60-70% strikes (if not more) and rely on strategy and skill rather than the simple fact that most people can't catch up to outliers. I'm almost always ahead in the count and will certainly throw 58 foot curves/changes or backfoot sliders, but not regularly on 0-0, 1-0, 2-0 counts.
And yes, most people CAN'T invest the time necessary to "git gud" at reading uber-buffed pitching to make WS. Lots of older players, like me, have stuff to do and/or want to play the game (as opposed to practicing it).
All respect! Take care
