BR Should Be On HOF
-
What are you talking about? The point is they shouldn't be able to make contact with the ball that far out of the zone. They should be out. There are many times I do get them out. I thought the goal was for the game to simulate baseball?
I’m not disagreeing with you. A hitter with good PCI skills can foul off lots of pitches and prolong at-bats. I’m sure you do the same when you’re hitting. It IS annoying.
My point is, it is not impossible to strike people out on AS.

Of course it’s not impossible, bad players strike out on all star, any decent player is going to rarely strike out on all star
-
The problem here is that BR is a mode open to players of all ratings.
Maybe what would need to happen would be to change the difficulty as people’s runs progress.
Yes, good hitters don’t strike out very much on All Star, but we are all in the same boat.

It's not impossible but it doesn't happen at the rate that it should. Also, players get rewarded for having bad plate discipline because they get prolonged at bats for swinging at bad pitches.

I do feel like AS in BR and Event's is different than AS in ranked seasons, but that could just be me.

Yes, that is true.
My problem with your point is, rather than improving AS for everyone, all you seem to care about is making BR HOF so you don’t have to deal with it.
-
I'm not sure what the answer is. The good players dont want to play on all star while the bad players dont want to play on HoF. How do they pacify both sides? Honest question because I dont know.
-
I think universal pitch speeds would be a good place to start, but yeah, there’s a pretty diverse player base, and we’re just talking about players that play online, which is already a sub-set.

It's not that I don't care about it, it's that it doesn't have anything to do with the point of this thread I started. The point is, BR has the biggest rewards. It's very competitive. It should be on a competitive difficulty. Also and more importantly, I think HOF does a better job of playing like real baseball.
Honestly, the bigger the pci, the more RNG they have to include to make the game have somewhat realistic results. If the pci was the size of the strikezone, it would all be RNG other than timing because otherwise you'd always drive the ball.
-
Only thing I can think of is opening the timing windows up more on all star if you want to keep pitch speeds the same. Otherwise a lot of players will get frustrated and quit.

It's not so much the speeds. I think the pci size is the bigger deal, although I think the pitch speeds on HOF are good, I don't think they're much different from All Star on the current patch. I think the pci size is the bigger difference.

I actually agree with you, but IMO, it would make more sense to just correct the problem everywhere. Those of us competing in ranked below 700 are just as frustrated as you are.

Fair enough. Not sure what the solution for that is. Maybe shrink the All Star pci but not quite as much at the HOF pci?

I'm not saying you're wrong. I just can't play HoF online. the PCI is too small for me to use with an analog stick. Kudos to you fellas who can, but I making precise movements is just not something these thumbs were built for. Now if I had some sort of twin stick controller...
What they mean is that they would be able to win easier in BR if it were on HoF. It makes it harder for people with less reaction time. That is all they care about. Same discussion every year and these guys have to same old argument. I personally do not care either way, but them saying the game plays better on HoF just means it plays better for them on HoF. They are not looking out for the community like they want you to believe. They just cant say, "Make BR HoF so that I can win more often." Does not sound as nice. They HATE the fact that they can lose on All Star and that it gives other people with slower reflexes a chance.
"BR should be on All-Star so people who aren't as good at the game have a better chance of winning".
I fixed what you said.
-
I don’t know. I’ve struggled hard with how small the PCI is on AS now, since whichever patch that was. I’ve pretty much turned it off other than the center dots.
How much smaller does it need to get? Realistically, All-star PCI is already what HOF was last year and nobody was complaining about it being too big in HOF then.
-
After thinking about it I now agree, but BR it should be on Legend difficulty. After all it is for the best rewards in the game. Only the best of the best should be able to go 12-0. Lesser HoF players have no business winning those rewards. Also, then the value of those cards would be even higher for the best of the best that can attain 12-0 on Legend. I will sign any petition for this to happen.

I'd be more okay with legend than All Star. You do realize that whether it was on legend or HOF it would make little difference in who wins, right? Even on All Star, the best player still usually wins. The odds are just not quite as good and the experience is less like baseball.

So in a game mode where the goal is to go 12-0, you think the lesser players should win?
Also, it's not just because I'll win more. It's legitimately more fun. It's not fun when players with no plate discipline keep fouling off my pitches way out of the zone, and I can't throw a high fastball ever because they regularly get crushed. There are almost no strikeouts on All Star. It's awful.
I get tons of Ks on AS, what are you on?

I'd like to see your stats because I'm 28-4 in ranked seasons so far this year and my universal profile says I average 1.67 k/9 online.

Wow, I don’t know how that is physically possible, with pitch speeds on AS definitely faster than last year. Fastballs high, junk in the dirt all day.
