    I have hit a ton of homers in the 10 event games I played. Don’t feel anything off.

    But I also don’t feel the sinkers were addressed.

    That there were no hitting tweaks in this update. The game was already feeling off and it's only gotten worse.

    It’s really hard to tell when I’m forced to play a moment on rookie, a showdown on veteran, an event game on all star, and then a ranked game on HoF 🤷‍♂️

    I do know they broke tags at home. I had a guy thrown out at home by about 6 steps and the catcher had ball in glove waiting. Trea Turner slides and somehow kicked the ball out of the catcher’s glove and was safe. Never seen that happen once since I’ve been playing this game for the last 10 years.

    Oh wow so the ball actually came out of the glove? Never seen that either. I've had times where the catcher freezes and doesn't attempt to apply a tag at all and the runner can just score. That has been a returning issue every year as well.

    1. Give all the meta pitchers sinkers whether they threw one in real life or not.
    2. Nerf sinkers because they are “unrealistic”.

    There it is. Every update someone says they changed something with hitting without telling us. Haven’t played since the update so can’t speak for sure but willing to bet when I fire it up it feels the exact same to me.

    You're batting .315 over 13 games in the bottom of the ranks which means rookie/veteran difficulty online. I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference honestly but thanks for you input nonetheless, without actually even playing like you said so yourself.

    Are you implying that this secret change is only noticeable at higher difficulties, or that it only impacts certain players? Everything seems the same to me, but for the sake of argument I'll humor you and concede that one of these scenarios is true.

    As a weaker player myself, the obvious question then becomes why should I care? If SDS wants to nerf something and they can do it in a way that doesn't noticeably impact my game, they have my full support. Downgrade away, SDS!

    No I was implying that the casual gamer most likely can't tell any differences. I explained it further in a later post in this thread.

    Either way, my observation still applies. If a downgrade is made and I can't tell the difference then there's no reason for me to care. As long as I don't notice them, I encourage SDS to make as many upgrades as they want.

    If a change manages to enrage the tiny minority of players who can actually feel it's effects ("casual gamers" likely make up a significant majority of the player base) and I get to amuse myself by reading some complaint posts, then that's just an added bonus.

    Fair enough but my point still stands. Gets old seeing the same tired complaints all the time.

    Edit to add I prefer to play offline to avoid the [censored] that y’all complain about all the time lol but in my limited online experience I haven’t had many issues.

    And here you are complaining about my complaint. I hear what you're saying though, there are many people who complain over anything and everything. But we are not all the same and not every complaint is unfounded. To throw everyone who complains at any given time about any given thing on a big pile and discredit them just for the concept of complaining is not right. I've been playing this game for many many years at a high level year in year out. I've spent so many hours into this franchise, I know what I'm talking about. Your reply discredits all of that in the snap of a finger, just because I'm complaining. I don't appreciate that and that's why I responded the way I did.

    Not saying you are wrong or right about changes, I have no clue as I don't play online much and when I do I'm low ranks. That being said, you can't blame him or anyone else coming down on your "complaint" about changes. The amount of complaint threads on these forums are enormous and to the casual viewer, it can look like yours is another one.

    I've been hitting 2-3 HR per game it seems. I'd say that the field is definitely big towards center, but still hitting a fair amount of bombs. Granted this is through 4 event games so far, so not the biggest sample size. I will say though that the game does seem to be lagging just a bit at this field. Doesn't seem as smooth.

    You could just scroll along if it annoys you. Replying is a conscious decision and the only thing it achieves is to tell me that it's another complaint post which I'm obviously aware of. So what's the goal here exactly?

    I can't say with certainty that there were or were not hitting changes in the patch. What I can say with much more certainty is that somebody claims that they have nerfed hitting in practically every patch they release.

    This but I feel like I'm hitting with a newspaper the last few days. Hit one last night almost dead center with Dunn against a RHP. It was a routine fly ball 30 ft from the fence. Gets much harder to play the game when it is like this. Got off early the last few days.
