Rookie difficulty isn't what it used to be. I have seen corner dotting, diving catches, mistakes crushed for home runs, lightning quick double plays galore.
Every CPU pitcher dots a lot. The control stat on the card means nothing.
yep, its annoying. But I wonder if it has to do with the setting. Competitive mode vs casual. In casual do they still dot or do they throw down the middle like they used too
You can't access casual or simulation once in the DD hub. It's all competitive mode once there.
There's just no reason for pitchers on rookie to throw 3 pitches a foot out of the zone, then 2 that dot the black, then MAYBE one cookie. Happens way too often. Horrible design change by SDS. Rookie grind is meant to be batting practice, not patience practice.
Not trying to argue with you but this is a false statement.
You can access the setting in gameplay. Casual, Simulation, and Competitive can be selected when you first fire up the game but if you ever want to change it you can go to gameplay settings.
The backend of the engine will recognize the change and implement immediately. The only setting that is default is when you enter online h2h gameplay, that setting is Competitive for everyone.
If true, that's good to know. Might change to simulation or casual for grinds. Be interesting to see if there's a discernible difference.

Go watch Premiere Pre launch Hitting/Pitching video for 2021 it explains it there!

Worst change SDS made to single player DD this year: cpu pitchers on rookie difficulty throwing absolute garbage most of the time. Makes grinding a chore. Way to make single-player grinding feel more like moments, SDS. Ugh.
THAT'S what I'm complaining about today.
I've scored 19 runs on 25 hits one game, then 1 run in 7 until I scored 6 on the 8th. Sometimes you get unlucky.

Not that at all. I average probably 8 per game on rookie with the occasional explosion too. It's the pitch sequencing of cpu pitchers on rookie. I don't play that mode to be patient or work counts. It's there to mash and pxp. Horrible change by SDS.
