I’m not the greatest hitter but...

Admittedly, I’m not the best at hitting in this game. I have to keep my opponent close to have a chance.
Now it does seem that I can locate my pitches slightly better than pre 1.05. I struck out like 11 in my last game and was able to get out of most jams I dug myself into.
That said, the amount of hard hit balls in the last couple RS games has been really minimal. Other than a lineout or two, the best knock I had was a good good that still sounded and felt wonky off the bat.
On top of that, on some swings that feel on time for me, there is this “swinging the bat underwater” kind of sensation. It’s almost like there is a wind from all the numbers being crunched by my PS4.
Am I crazy or is anyone else experiencing this online?

I'd have to agree hitting wise, and I haven't lost a game on HoF (made WS today) and it still feels wonky. One game went 12 innings 0-0 before I walked it off finally.
Looking at my pitching stats, sub 3 ERA, sub 1 WHIP, I guess my pitching is better? I don't know how much of that is the patch versus getting Kluber though.
Hitting is just soooooooo inconsistent, you can play two games and neither feel similar.

Congrats on making WS!
-
I agree. I was hitting fine till 1.05. Even on 1.04 I was still producing.
I am either slumping or this last patch killed me. Haha

My batting average in the first week was .309.
After 1.04 it fell to about .285. Since 1.05 I am now hitting.258.So, mission accomplished?

So it seems patch 1.05 is giving you RL MLB team averages, good!! so the patch worked!!

There's something wonky about sinkers in general. I have never swung and missed at so many meat pitches before in my life in RS. And I'm only in pennant race. The sinkers seem so much faster than a FB. And I've noticed a lot of people throwing high sinkers as a strikeout pitch so there must be something to it.

Even hitting vs the cpu feels off now. I’m giving it a rest for a bit.

I hadn’t played online in a few days (was trying this showdown business) and just finished an Event game where I hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back hrs off diamond Smoltz to start the bottom of the 1st. I had to end up walking it off with Big Meat Pete in the bottom of the 3rd 7-6. I think we each hit 5-6 HRs a piece. Seemed like hitting was back to early access to me.

Interesting. I’m gonna try BR and the event today and compare.

Try march to october, feels like a completely different hitting engine.
-
Well BR was definitely better. I’m writing this off to the quality of the pitching and lineups in RS.
Interestingly, enough, I tried BR in 19 just now and also hit well. I think I’m just going to avoid ranked for a while.
