We all know the game is not in very good shape so here’s my opinion on the issues.
Hitting- Not as bad as everyone is saying. You just have to learn to time it up better especially if using a tv and not a monitor (I’m using a tv) my biggest issue is the lack of base hits. After playing quite a bit online I’ve noticed that it’s either a home run, strike out or a lazy fly ball.
Pitching- I think pitching is totally fine, no pitcher ever can locate their pitches exactly where they want 100% of the time.
Fielding- wow is fielding awful, fly balls bouncing off my players head, taking their time getting the ball where it needs to go and my biggest issue is the relay throws. Absolutely no sense of urgency on relay throws. Guy on second tagging to go to 3rd my OF should not throw the ball in like he just fielded a routine grounder.
At the end of the day we just have to be optimistic that SDS will take care of these issues the best they can.
We don't know that it is not in good shape. Maybe it's just had a bad couple weeks or months. Maybe it's just gotta get back out there again. Times are rough man and twinkies help.
Time for a bowflex, time to commit. Better days are ahead.

My two complaints with hitting are
- Their statement perfect/perfect avg was around .850. I have not found that to be anywhere near the case. Maybe .333 at best. Now that could have been a result of the hitting nerf that was put in place but that is a huge drop.
- Homeruns to base hit ratio. Far too often I have games that are 7-5 with around 15 base hits and not due to walks. I'd like to see what perfect/perfect flyballs as minimum for a homerun with a roll versus power stats looks like.
.333? You either have a selective memory of when things go in your favor or don't, or you're not keeping track of actual perfect/perfects.. it's more than half the time it's not an out and it's pretty obvious
Right? It's honestly a good idea to keep track of perfect/perfects to reduce the inevitable negativity bias we all experience. It's much more likely someone remembers a perfect/perfect out then a perfect/perfect hit. That's just how our brains work.

@JDSCATPACK29 well I think hitting is fine because in my opinion it is. Just because I’m trash at hitting don’t mean it’s in bad shape. That’s on me.

Don't let him talk you down because of your average.
Honestly to me, that showcases more honesty. You aren't blaming the game for your .217 average. -

The hitting wasn't fine on release. But keep repeating that myth. People already complain about home run derbies now. If day one hitting was still here, that would be complaint would be magnified. You could look at a ball funny and it left.
Hitting isn't perfect, but it's far from bad.

Being trash as a hitter is much better than being a trash person who trolls on baseball game forums. I wouldn't worry about defending yourself it's obvious to anyone who is reading that guy is a living vicariously through his virtual baseball players too make up for his real life inadequacies.

I was hitting over .400 when the hitting was "fine" in your opinion, but go ahead and call me trash because you can't dismiss it any other way unless you insult me.
And no, it wasn't just on veteran.

how long did you spend looking words up in the thesaurus before you typed out your long winded pointless post?

so what difficulty were you hitting on then? if it wasn't veteran. are you trying to say you were hitting on HOF or above? first week??
they shouldn't have patched the hitting without more data. you can't look at everyone hitting on AS or below and make a judgement call at that point. HoF difficulty at the very least to see how its playing.
if they would have just boosted pitching control a bit instead of messing with the hitting, they may have reached the point where its not HR derby in your eyes.

Hey...Incel...chill out. No need to be all Arthur Fleck about it.

@JDSCATPACK29 Whats your deal man?

no deal, but this is why stuff never gets fixed. we have people who refuse to call out the glaring issues with the game. and we go by patch after patch, year by year without stuff getting fixed.

There are plenty of people who can adequately make their point without being an overly aggressive hard on like you do. As with any game each patch has its fixes and it's problem it's just most of us aren't nearly as emotionally invested in this as you seem to be.

Pitching is fckn atrocious. I am having good releases miss the mark by 3 ft. Pandemic with not much to do and this is the product we get. This game was done well before lockdown.

Fielding is the big issue. Control in pitching could be worked on a bit, but atrocious? That's a reach
