Would removing Outlier improve the game?
-
I don’t think it would be as bad if they only gave it to players who actually throw it. But then people complain that they’re “unusable” compared to the players with outlier. And now we’re here.
Just like everyone complained that anyone under like 90 power is unusable. Now everyone has juiced power instead of just making the game more balanced. Although power does seem a little less important this year.

Can you tell me who they have given outlier to that doesn’t or had not thrown 100 plus? There are cards they should’ve been given outlier to like the 400 save Craig Kimbrell that don’t have it. Early in his career he was consistently hitting 100 plus.

No, but it should be toned down a bit. Too many pitchers have it and it should be 100-101, not 104. I don’t remember Pedro or Kerry Wood ever touching triple digits and if they ever did, it sure wasn’t 104.
I wasn't able to find out the total number of times Kerry Wood did hit 100 MPH, but he did it at least twice during his 20 K game. That was the only listing I could find. I suspect that was the norm for him until his arm finally gave out.
However, this further proves your point that it's very hard to hit that speed more than a handful of times a game.

The problem with outlier fastballs is connections. In a good connection game it is a little fast but not imposible, you can actually read and react. Outlier in a bad connection game is like 115mph. SDS’ biggest effort should be to improve connectivity instead of content. Can’t enjoy good content in a game where timing is king while having to deal with very high latency.
This is the answer once again and is the #1 issue for this game. Just glad people are finally starting to see it. It just didn't become a problem this year but is getting worse.
Good connection and I'll score 8+ on HOF. Bad connection (most of the time), I'm struggling to score 3.

Outlier is a crutch
Especially for people with bad internet. They don't really need to know how to pitch. Just throw outlier with your laggy [censored] internet.
-
I don't think internet connection quality is a thing. Seems to me everyone gets the same quality regardless of where they live or what they pay. Game seems to run fine. Match up against a quality opponent and I struggle to score and eventually lose. Match up against a noob who doesn't know I swing like a madmen at pitches regardless of location and type I score a lot and win.

I think outlier needs to be a toggled setting (similar to holding a button to slide step) that allows the P to reach back and put a little extra on their pitch at the cost of stamina. With the exception of like a handful of relievers and Greene, no one throws 100+ regularly every pitch.
It makes me think back to when meter was a main way to pitch....you could let the meter go further to throw a bit harder but at the cost of accuracy and stamina.

So Duran, Hicks, Ohtani, and the rest of the guys who throw 100-104 should sacrifice their fastball in this game because outlier is a crutch. Or the legends that threw over 100. Come on bud that’s a silly argument.
But they aren’t throwing 100 pitches 103mph. It’s not realistic. Also, some players like Pedro have it and he’s never thrown over 100.

At least he came close having topped out in the upper 90s. Lee Smith was mid 90s at best yet he tosses 100 on every pitch.

Pedro hit 100 on multiple occasions while pitching for Boston.

Pedro most certainly did hit a 100 on multiple occasions while pitching for Boston. I actually remember watching some of those games. Also a simple search would’ve revealed this as well and allowed you to save some face on this issue.

How about an Outlier for something other than Velo. Like control for instance. Maddux is nearly unusable on AS and below. On HOF and above, he seems much more effective but gets shelled quite often on lower difficulties. Find it odd that one of the greatest pitchers of all time is so mediocre until you reach HOF.

As usual you’re wrong…Pedro’s fastball averaged 93-95 in his prime with the Sox & then it topped out at 89 when he was with the Phillies. The fastest pitch he ever threw was 99 & he only did that a handful of times early in his career. But he never hit 100, Much less 102…[censored].

You’re wrong kid. And there is video evidence to support it. Please don’t make me embarrass you again. Have a goodnight.

I’m not a proud boy like your racist [censored]…If I’m proven wrong then I’ll own it. So go ahead - Find a video of Pedro hitting 100 on the gun & post it here…He was an INCREDIBLE pitcher, But he wasn’t throwing heat like Chapman or anyone like that.

I agree, please link a video. I googled it and he was 93-95mph through his career -
Killerpresence4 just likes the sound of his own voice. He is one of those guys that feels he is always right and everyone else is always wrong. One of the many trolls that roam these forums just to stir things up and stroke their own egos.

You’re just making [censored] up like you always do when you’re trolling this forum fluffing anything and everything. Not only are you wrong you are blatantly lying about it. Go take a nap. Pedro never once touched 100mph.
