So Why is SDS Allowing Tempo to be in the game???
-
I always wonder why is it that MLB the show allows top players to get away with cheating. To my understanding since MLB the show 19 ( Probably earlier) tempo has been in the game. Tempo is the movement of a players leg kick motion that determines if the pitcher will be throwing something fast or off speed. A perfect example of a tempo player is Mike trout who has a smooth tempo motion. GOAT difficulty at first was challenging for some to consistently adjust to tempo but as time goes by players are getting accustomed to tempo even on G.O.A.T difficulty. I know that San Diego Studio is aware of tempo. All over social media tempo hitting has been the focus of many especially in platforms like TikTok. Some top players also have taken this to there advantage as they are charging average players for tempo classes. The game of baseball should be based on pitch recognition and reaction plus discipline. I shouldn’t have to struggle because my opponent knows that I am throwing a fast or off speed pitch. This is killing the game and I am asking San Diego Studio to please investigate this issue. Please create a feedback form so that players in the community ( NOT ONLY THE TEMPO CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD) can share their frustration with this. I want to thank you in advance for your time and consideration TO FIX this issue and hope to see some changes in the future.

A little off topic, but I lost a Cousin in a Ford Tempo and have not liked them since.

Or, you can look at dozens of YT videos on it and integrate it into your skills
-
@yankblan_PSN I can’t do it man, I like playing the game the right way.. I don’t think SD knows how much money they are losing by allowing this, top player don’t spend a single dollar all they got to do is play BR and beat everyone by doing this.. I never try to play tournament same ppl in the finals all tempo player..
-
It still a skill , I've seen some videos and I tried practicing and I still can't use it yet . Imma keep practicing it .
-
Leave tempo alone bro
-
So , I been practicing it on all star in conquest. I've gotten a bit better . But it's not a given your going to rake because so many different leg kicks by different players and it still difficult to focus on the pitch release and leg kick .
Imma keep practicing tho see if I can get better . -
Just extrapolate this out...all the way. Tempo is generally the #1 most important aspect of any action in sports. To be fluid and have your body working in tandom. Every "swing" of any sort in any sport is completely dependent on timing which is directly related to tempo.
My only real suggestion here is that ...Tempo is king and should completely negate the need to use any other method incorporated in this game to be good. No need for zone hitting or pci [censored]. Imo all of that involves guess work and subjective preferences and seemingly major decisions about setup of your systems when ... truly ALL that matters is..."Did you 'time' your swing right"...
Tempo will never be removed and ...if it were then we would have stone cold static players that did not move their feet or legs etc....you can not swing any object without tempo and body signals...surprised this has ever been an issue or a technique that was overlooked until just recently? I see your point about feeling hobbled because people are reading the avatars movement...but, maybe that's a skill developed through playing and recognition that should be rewarded more than considered some form of exploitation? -
Also...just remember depending on your age...this is Exactly how we all used to play sports games...Tempo and timing is all we had and still reigns supreme. This is the way
-
Are y’all talking about analog swinging or animations. Honestly confused.
-
@MUSTARDxTIGER__PSN the way I understand tempo. It is the animation between the pitcher and the batter. The earlier the batter starts his leg kick that faster the pitch is going to be and vice versa. A lot of the top players have videos that break it down.

@Casualy-Hardcor_XBL
So you telling me the if am pitching and I choose to throw a fastball is okey for the system to allow the hitters animation to get ready cuz im throwing a fastball.. so all I got to do is look a the player moment for me to know what pitch is coming, in baseball it doesn’t work like that.. -
If tempo is actually a thing, wouldn’t the solution be to have the batter begin the leg kick at the same time and with the same quickness on every pitch, regardless of speed, but have a slight delay at the peak of the kick? Making the delay component closer to the swing timing would negate its usefulness.
Tempo is a reference to the speed in which the batter’s leg kick (or the pitcher’s delivery, it depends on who you ask that claims to be able to do it) occurs in-game purportedly correlating with the speed of the pitch, such that it occurring sooner/quicker tips that a fastball is being thrown while it occurring later tips that an off speed pitch is being thrown. This negates one of the fundamental aspects of baseball (changing speeds to fool a batter) and allows for better hitting results. It isn’t part of baseball because in real life, the batter is the one timing their leg kick. However, in-game, the leg kick animation occurs automatically and isn’t triggered by the user.

Go and Watch streamers when they said ohh I don’t like this card he got a bad swing is cuz they can’t not do tempo with that card not every card has tempo so yes they can fix this
-
@RealPudgyPanda_MLBTS thank you
-
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jmaHgj/ Go and watch it

@RealPudgyPanda_MLBTS
I wish ppl would understand what you just said bro, thank you -
@ElMatriixX_PSN pitchers change arm slots, leg kicks, wind ups, etc all the time. It’s up to the hitters to recognize them and figure it out.
-
@ElMatriixX_PSN not necessarily no. I didn't mean to diminish your point but, it's something that has been used for a very long time and I don't see how it can be prevented. The batter has to swing and can't do that without body movement so there is always going to be a swing animation tied to the swing and the players timing. I think it inevitable that people would eventually see this and use it. I've been using it since Nintendo baseball in 1987...I don't think this is new...it's just the "new" topic of the moment because someone mentioned it...I would think a lot of people playing have used tempo for years and it's just now being rediscovered?
I get your frustration. This is how I see it... -
I suppose it could be possible to just link the start of the swing with the initial player input... yes, I agree. I see everyone's point...the batter probably shouldn't preload if I'm not swinging yet?...it would annoy me to no end of I was playing online for sure.
I don't, so I haven't experienced this.
Thanks for the feedback.
