HOF is on crack

I’m still waiting for the explanation of what constitutes “pitching respectfully”…
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

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....
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

My run to WS took a serious nosedive this afternoon after getting 3 disconnects and then losing a game in the 9th where I was up my 2. Sucks

My biggest challenge is overshooting my PCI when I jam that sucker down/up/left/right

Same. Someone on here mentioned it would be nice to be able to set PCI sensitivity.
-
The biggest thing is the consistency it’s like every game requires different timing windows. If the speed were consistent doesn’t matter how fast ppl
would adjust in time but we all know this isn’t the case unfortunately. -
I enjoy HOF

That is absolutely not what he is referencing when he says pitching respectfully. Pitching respectfully is not throwing the same pitch over and over again because you have shown you can't hit it, like gassing you up and in over and over again because you can't turn on it. Hence they don't respect you and don't feel like they have to vary their spots. It has nothing to do with giving you hittable balls. You have to force them to do that yourself by making them respect the fact that you are competent enough to work a walk and show you can turn on the inside fastball.

️ (Now I’m gonna get bashed for enjoying the game everyone hates)When the connections/servers are working good (which seems to be around 25%), HOF is the most fun rank. Once I get to around 850 and already made the WS, I will tank down to around 750 to stay in the HOF area. If the game is playing super bad or I need a bunch of wins for 40, I will go lower. Sometimes hitting on all star is a chore. Game is very inconsistent. I would prefer a game that is consistent and I could see how far I can get.

Nope. Hitting was going to be harder this year without pinpoint anyway. It seems like they juiced up the pitch speeds, pitch break, and timing windows. The ball is also smaller. Everything needs to be toned back about 3 notches and they need to completely redo the sinker...

I actually feel hitting is easier/better than it was last year. Last year hitting was good for like 4 days then they tweaked after official release and it just completely sucked [censored].
Hitting this year is definitely better than last year IMO. PPP being too forgiving is the issue. Dotting on 80% (and less) accuracy with perfect release is a problem.
