The timing window is completely shot with hitting and the PCI is as small as it’s ever been. Pitch speeds are also faster than they’ve ever been.
My honest opinion is they got butthurt at all the complaints out the gate and cranked everything up as an FU to the community.
Everyone needs to kiss and make up and SDS needs to find a happy medium. The game was playing great at launch.
99% of people saying it was too easy weren’t even at HOF yet. It was rewarding good input. That is completely removed from the game now.
Pitching is a mess, you can’t paint corners or anything really. Sometimes you’re forced to throw a meat ball because you know more than likely you won’t be able to locate your pitch.
Fielding is a mess. I’ve legit lost games from outfielders not locking on to fly balls.
Baserunning has a mind of its own. Sometimes the runner will just keep running.
Of all the stuff I mentioned, the most broken aspect of the game right now is that timing window. It is completely shot.
And if you leave pitches cranked up so fast, we will lose all the new players you acquired this year. I know a ton of them personally that are about to quit.
We had a lot of momentum coming into this year’s game. Even with it’s flaws, last year was a success. SDS is the only company in these team building games that isn’t a bunch of crooks.
I still believe in this year’s game. The next patch has to get back to what was so fun at launch.
I’m enjoying the game. I think If more people tried directional hitting, classic pitching, and throw meter off fielding, they might enjoy the game as well.
Lol. Seriously?

Three click helped me aljttle for fsb's off speed not so much. The timing isn't the same for the same pitch from the same pitcher. If someone sits on 102 id love it, because i could time it consistently. Batting is just having the feel for when to swing. I whiff, I swing super early on curves and I chase into the dirt. But I also hit at least 1 hr a game. I play small ball, (my luck its always a 2 out rally though). You already found your answer, just use directional. Use what works. I switch between all three when I slump. Swing timing is the issue right? Well just work on that with directional.
What helped me the most is that if I was early I would offset the pci 25/75 (inside/outside the ball) that would allow me to swing at the same time but the bat takes longer to come around.
coming up with this made me start considering push and pull hitters too. Pull hitters swing early and push hitters swing late. Now imagine the effect on timing. So make sure you know your line up, and structure it so you can keep track.
Last thing Jean you told someone that they are bad and need practice, when the op stated they suck, and no matter what couldnt improve. The op is seeking help, i.e. trying to get better. If the op can adapt to the system there is one less person to complain about the system. Instead of putting the op down share your personal approach and help another member of your community that is on the verge of quitting a game that they love(d). Im not trying to insult you or anything, just give my perspective.

if anyone wants to add me for practice and experimenting with techniques feel free, tell me what pitchers and pitches to use i dont mind.
*Its either HighAngleLarry or bloodtester87, had an issue with an asshat.

You speak the truth... I am SO sick of winning (and losing) 1-0 and 2-1 games all the time!
