Ok serious question. How do you even know what your opponent isnusing? The Pci feedback is broke. Please explain
You don’t. These two completely different and in no way the same “individuals” don’t know what they’re talking about.
Once again, if it’s so unfair that someone might be using timing or directional against you, then why aren’t you switching to get that sweet sweet luck?
Now I’ll wait for the purposefully obtuse answer.
I'd like to thank you on behalf of everyone for this post. LMFAO. I'm really hoping for an answer to this.
.....6 years later......still waiting.
Here’s the answer and it’s been said before.
Nobody has said “WINNING” is easy (as in majority of your games) with directional.
What they are saying: It absolutely sucks to play a directional hitter who is consistently getting good RNG throughout the game and putting up runs with half the effort/skill of his zone opponent. That directional hitter is more than likely using directional because he/she doesn’t have the skill to compete with using zone but due to luck/RNG can still beat an opponent who is better at the game. If online is meant to be competitive then opponents should be using the same interface. You don’t see auto aim in shooter games or cars that steer themselves in racing games, right?
Everyone is twisting words around and skating around the issue that as of right now, you can use a handicap in a competitive online game and win….NOT ALL THE TIME but still win, and when you get that win against an opponent who is better than you skill wise but the game didn’t play that way, it’s frustrating for the better player and they voice that on a site dedicated to the game.
But the question that everyone keeps asking you is, why don't you use it?
If you want an answer to why it's used in competitive online play you'd have to ask the devs or more likely their bosses. While you're at it, can you ask why they got rid of Team Affinity, why I can't get a Robbie Alomar card in 21 and most importantly....how to change my icon on here.
As many have stated in this forum, while directional does rely on some luck, it is a disadvantage and therefore, any player worth his or her salt will not be using it. It is a blip, an anomaly. Is it lame that you can lose a game or two to luck? Yes. It's also lame luck that a squirrel ran across the plate in the 2011 NLDS and somehow the Cardinals started hitting again. (wait, no that was awesome). It was also luck that the Tigers had a 9 day layoff (due to their dominance in the first 2 rounds) before the 2006 WS and their pitchers made like 5 errors which helped the Cards win in 5 games (actually that was awesome too).
Luck is a part of the game. Luck, weather, human error (no Jim Joyce I'm not looking at you), momentum, shadows from the sun, fans who catch baseballs instead of Moises Alou or Tony Tarasco. Birds, cats, squirrels, rocks, sprinklers that rob Mickey Mantle of his knees, these are all a part of the game. Did you know that until 1954, players use to leave their gloves on the field when they went in to hit? So there were 9 gloves scattered around the field every inning, every game for the first 78 years of MLB? I bet that never had anything to do with an outcome.
You may think I'm skirting around the issue. But what everyone is trying to tell you, is the results of a directional hitter beating a zone hitter due to pure RNG luck are negligible. It happens so infrequently, it doesn't warrant an investigation. If you really want to be a crusader for change, find out why someone who is 8-41 lifetime in RS can't be matched up with players his ability level? Like a sleeping
. Or a toaster?And most importantly, and I can't stress this enough.....how do I xhange my icon on here?????

All of this word salad and yet not even close to an answer to the question. Not even in the ballpark. Not even in the same league.
If directional users are getting all of this RNG luck, then why aren’t you switching to it to compensate?
You won’t answer because you would rather construct straw man arguments about “directional hitters getting consistently good RNG”. You have no way of qualifying a statement like that.
I’ve already told you why I don’t use directional, a couple times actually. Zone rewards you better/more often….directional is pure luck and I choose not to play that style.
Do you know what RNG means? The magic word in there is RANDOM….. so absolutely a directional player can RANDOMLY get good numbers CONSISTENTLY, again it’s all about LUCK. On the flip side, they can consistently get bad numbers and produce nothing….either way they’re just swinging away with half the effort of a zone player and if the numbers go they’re way….they’re golden. How is that play style competitive? They’re literally playing with not skill but LUCK…..while using half the effort.

Just more humble bragging. We get it your “stick skills reign supreme” and you’re so incredible at the game that you should never lose, especially to lowly directional swinging losers.

The one fault you obviously are missing is online you don't get rewarded consistently. If you throw pitches in bad places yes, you can get lit up but that is kind of how it should be but if you paint the lines and corners, these directional hitters rarely get anything. I would love to see real evidence that you can crank homers on balls in thw dirt that people claim using directional. I would love to see anyone try to do a good solid run in ranked using directional and have real success. It doesn't happen, plain and simple and there is a reason people use and try to master zone.

What do you mean you don’t/can’t get rewarded consistently online? I went 4/4 with Gold Bellinger this morning….that’s pretty consistent. What do you consider consistency as?
I’ve mentioned a few times, my buddy uses directional and makes CS every season, and has so for years. I’d also like to see some real evidence that it’s impossible to have success online with directional…since that’s the game some of y’all want to play.

How is that play style competitive? They’re literally playing with not skill but LUCK…..while using half the effort.
The one fault you obviously are missing is online you don't get rewarded consistently. If you throw pitches in bad places yes, you can get lit up but that is kind of how it should be but if you paint the lines and corners, these directional hitters rarely get anything. I would love to see real evidence that you can crank homers on balls in thw dirt that people claim using directional. I would love to see anyone try to do a good solid run in ranked using directional and have real success. It doesn't happen, plain and simple and there is a reason people use and try to master zone.
What do you mean you don’t/can’t get rewarded consistently online? I went 4/4 with Gold Bellinger this morning….that’s pretty consistent. What do you consider consistency as?
I’ve mentioned a few times, my buddy uses directional and makes CS every season, and has so for years. I’d also like to see some real evidence that it’s impossible to have success online with directional…since that’s the game some of y’all want to play.
You went 4 for 4 in a game and that's consistent? My buddy plays zone and makes it to world series every time, so what? A one off is not consistency. You do not get rewarded as much as you do as putting the pci on the ball, plain and simple. It's been that way for years and will always be that way but keep telling yourself that youre right, it certainly seems like you believe it.
I mean if it's so consistently good, I just don't know why people don't use it, they must be just wanting the game to be harder for them considering how good directional is.

Ok serious question. How do you even know what your opponent isnusing? The Pci feedback is broke. Please explain
You don’t. These two completely different and in no way the same “individuals” don’t know what they’re talking about.
Once again, if it’s so unfair that someone might be using timing or directional against you, then why aren’t you switching to get that sweet sweet luck?
Now I’ll wait for the purposefully obtuse answer.
I'd like to thank you on behalf of everyone for this post. LMFAO. I'm really hoping for an answer to this.
.....6 years later......still waiting.
Here’s the answer and it’s been said before.
Nobody has said “WINNING” is easy (as in majority of your games) with directional.
What they are saying: It absolutely sucks to play a directional hitter who is consistently getting good RNG throughout the game and putting up runs with half the effort/skill of his zone opponent. That directional hitter is more than likely using directional because he/she doesn’t have the skill to compete with using zone but due to luck/RNG can still beat an opponent who is better at the game. If online is meant to be competitive then opponents should be using the same interface. You don’t see auto aim in shooter games or cars that steer themselves in racing games, right?
Everyone is twisting words around and skating around the issue that as of right now, you can use a handicap in a competitive online game and win….NOT ALL THE TIME but still win, and when you get that win against an opponent who is better than you skill wise but the game didn’t play that way, it’s frustrating for the better player and they voice that on a site dedicated to the game.
All of this word salad and yet not even close to an answer to the question. Not even in the ballpark. Not even in the same league.
If directional users are getting all of this RNG luck, then why aren’t you switching to it to compensate?
You won’t answer because you would rather construct straw man arguments about “directional hitters getting consistently good RNG”. You have no way of qualifying a statement like that.
I’ve already told you why I don’t use directional, a couple times actually. Zone rewards you better/more often….directional is pure luck and I choose not to play that style.

Jesus Christ some of you like to twist words around to fit your narrative. Go back and read what I said, I’m not typing it again. I never said “it’s so consistently good”….seriously read what I said, word for word and come back to talk to me if you want.
