Timing Hitting in Online Rated on HOF & Legend
-
Dear SDS,
First and foremost I wanna say your welcome because this is a VERY SIMPLE solution to make this game more enjoyable by all users.
All you have to do is allow Guess Pitch for players who use Timing or Directional. I don’t wanna sound egotistical but I’m ranked like 70th online so I feel like I have a right to complain. I also never played on a difficulty less than HOF or Legend. I can admit I’ve struggled a lot but my online record may say otherwise to an average player. I personally don’t like using zone at all for two reasons. 1) you will run into players who will literally hit everything. 2) Stats seem not to even matter with zone hitting.
Yes there are those perfect perfects that get caught at 3rd or those hard hits that get caught right on the warning track but lets face it, usually on HOF or Legend players know how to dot pitches so Timing or directional won’t work. I missed guessing pitches on spammers and getting rewarded. Bringing this setting back would give players like me a more enjoyable/causal YET competitive experience.
If you made it this far in my rant thank you. But let’s be REAL. How much more fun would diamond dynasty be if you didn’t have to hit 100 home runs. How much more fun would online rated be if you could hit homeruns on the interface option you find best to use. Bringing back guess pitch solves this. I rest my case.

I get what you’re saying but as someone who used to use Guess Pitch all the time I found out I’m way better without it.
You can still “guess” pitches and spammers make it super easy you just have to have a little memory or hit R2 to see their previous pitches each new AB.
If they bring back GP though; they need to make the negative on guessing wrong more obvious. You can’t guess low and outside (slider) and then still be able to turn on a fastball high and inside.
Just my thoughts.

Lol guess pitch in a so called ranked mode no thanks

I only want GP back because of the reward you get from guessing correctly. The only pitches you’ll get a hit with while using Timing on HOF or Legend are pitches down the middle which is insane because why even allow us to use it. I’ve gotten good timing on pitches all over the zone and middle pitches are the only thing I’ll hit.

Funny because you didn’t see my gamertag on the board? Its a different one than what I have here. But if not…i speak only facts lol. Idk if you tried but on HOF or Legend its literally impossible to put a dotted pitch in play which defeats the purpose of even allowing these interfaces to be used at these levels. I get it, everyone is gonna say just use zone but there’s a way to make it fair for everyone.

I don’t particularly like the hitting this year or online in general but at no point should guess pitches be a thing in competitive play. I could give you 100 other reasons online isn’t that enjoyable but this isn’t one of them. It’s hard enough to hit with a pci as is so buffing the timing for the easiest hitting mode would be a massive mistake imo.

The game should be fair for everyone. Its not buffing when you can’t put a ball in play using Timing. The only obvious difference there should be between zone and timing is the amount of homeruns and xbh. Right now the difference are those two things plus swing and misses with good timing, weak fly balls on pitches down the middle with GOOD timing, strike out amounts, and foul balls.
What won’t change between both interfaces are the pitches a user can and cannot hit. For ex: i cant hit a circle change using zone if my life depended on it. But i can using timing. On zone I struggling getting to high inside fastballs but timing I can. What im saying is timing hitting isn’t going to make players these elite stars that can never lose. In fact I can argue that zone is doing that instead.

Why not? The Astros use it in real baseball.

Lets talk about some online rated records and stats. For instance and mind you I am using these examples on what Ive looked at in past investigating and not recent . Im sure its still relevant. How does a player with a .127 batting average and a 5.06 batting average have a record of 57-4 and hhasnt played 50 innings . He doing something that aint kosher and you dont need Enstein to see that . With that in mind what good are records and stats you earned . Their meaningless and misleading . Cant use yours mine or nobody elses as evidence to solve or prove anything except online head to head play is the Twilight Zone Treat it as such

In previous post I said 5.06 batting average but meant ERA sorry

You're making fun of GODSYYNT because he wants to play at a higher level? You want everyone to play at rookie level or All-Star or DD settings like you? Good on you GODSYYNT for wanting to get better, just ignore that troll that only plays at a mediocre levels.
