Directional (?)) Ya mean, what I refer to as - " toddler TEE Ball " !
It's a skilless joke and is the epitome of what ruins this game for grown folks, those who actually played ball and/or the true fans.
There needs to be isolation toggles just like there are for "guess pitch", difficulty and the other choices prior to an online game search. {I've said this for years and years now btw}
I play authentic ball as in a chess match, but get matched up with a puppy who plays Chinese checkers and even has extra marbles !! 2 different games and has no business at the same table ( on the same screen ) together. They have no foul balls and practically no base runners even....just skilless and ridiculous square button mashing home run derby's.
The " fools gold " of it all is they claim to be good, sit in the leaderboards, and some how THINK they are actually playing the game. Not hardly. Starting an approximate timing window and then letting attributes and algorithms do all the work.... That's not " playing " by definition of the word in the slightest. It's nothing more than " Watching " (and some hoping)
Playing a large number of those top leaderboard puppies that are there year after year is mostly laughable. It's skilless manipulation based on attributes and algorithms not player skill in the slightest.
The mixing of the " authentic players " with the toddler Tee ball boys in online play IS this games biggest short coming and farce.

Dodgers ? That's the same kiddie land bandwagon boys that used the Yankees last year . I always asked them " hey just how many Yankees vs Yankees games do you puppies play anyway". Never got much of an answer..hmm BUT... .. that skilless directional puppy a** tee ball Is what ruins this gm. -- hey let me use a top team ..stand there/ wait on a pitch in the zone and start an approximate timing window and then simply watch ( ' n hope) ( instead of play ) While top team attributes and computer algorithm do all the work for me. Hey but " I won !". Hmmm now did ya there son ..ha.. Not hardly... Simply FOOLS gold Ridiculous.

Makes PURE sense brothA.. It's the depth of ones comprehension of fact that is of the " the question". For shallowness is not determined by the depth of any water but by the solidness of " the matter".
IE : Rock n roll ain't noise pollution..to me it makes good good sense... Good sense.

@cbpm72_psn said in Why directional is trash for online...:
I don't care which system anyone uses to hit (or pitch), but I won't really go for use of the word 'authentic' until they figure out pitching and batting views from the inside of the pitcher/batter skulls. Like what they're actually seeing. Maybe then we can talk about an authentic experience. Until then we've got pitching from either the outfield view or the catcher's view (!) and hitting from the catcher's view primarily...and for some,also from the umpire's view if he's standing back the mandated two metres for COVID-19.
Me personally. Pitch = outfield Hit = zoom. And since this game systems ago hit the market. Every pause is also a mound visit when pitching. No long pause period on offense nor defense. As authentic as the game allows and never used another team in online rated other than the Chi SoX

Son, you are very wrong Very wrong In online rated I can name numerous toddler tee ball skilless puppies. I've played them for years and years.
That's where your problem is. The best of the best in online rated get mercied by the top DD players lmao
You obviously are of the younger generation(s) and your typing display dictates such.
So what is more skillful and /0r harder to do? Place a aiming area over where the ball is - as in aiming a bat OR just pushing a button and watching and hoping.
*Also is it harder to hit with a diamond souped up attribute " likeness" or with a 30-40 contact rated player? Ect ect.
One has a pci the size of the state of Nebraska and the other a vision rating of say 19 and a pci the size of a table spoon
So great analogy there youngster !!
I haven't said once , to abolish that skilless attribute non player induced style of tee ball. All I've Insinuated is to seperated the 2 styles in seperated categories so those who desire to face opponents based on user skills rather than playing a computer where user input is a minimum to absolutely null. Let the tee ball boys play all they want BUT against each other and let the user input hitters play like minded and playing opponents.
It's ridiculous to even imply that the 2 styles represent a comparable skill set.
IE: some kid I play strikes out 15-20 times and then my pitcher misses a pitch and boom a home run that puts him tied or up ?? Come on , how many times does this go on and is it a true fair match that ends up in extra innings with one player who has 3 times more foul balls and base runners compared to the others amount of strikeouts. Baseball? A competitive game? OR just that dime a dozen hand holding toddler tee ball in a game vs a " player " where input and skill induced behaviors represent the action simulated on the field.
Hmmm We DO need an on/off toggle to get those people in a category by their selves just as guess pitch is in online rated. Let ' em play, just let em play each other , and all they want !!
@thewooderboy_mlbts said in Why directional is trash for online...:
I’m 35-5 using directional in online ranked lmao stop hating
He he Exhibit 1.(?)
Now then...... How hard is it to start an APPROXIMATE timing window and then watch For the attributes and algorithms to do the actual " playing" for you ??
You guys want to use that type mechanism, then have at it..AND do it against each other not skill based players.
Also to those saying the top players ( say top 20 in online rated for instance ) "ALL use zone"... That is false and in a big way... I will not out anybody by handle nor name but a fact IS a fact. The no foul balls to speak of, and home run mashers out of no where toddler tee ball boys are indeed as I print this sitting in the top tiers on page ONE as I type.
You guys have a great and blessed day. Shine light on someone who needs it and remember one smile and/or kind word can become contagious. ANNNND.... The best part of "Having" is.... " Giving ".

No belittling. Just FACTS. Only thing is that the 2 forms of play need to be seperated by user choice just as guess pitch is.
A chess board has no marbles.

You’d be surprised how many here are in the 40+ demographic (including yours truly). Directional is so limiting, no one with decent skills uses it. The good players will hit any pitch for a HR because they can reach every single one with their PCI. Can’t turn on a heater on the wrist with directional. PCI, definitely.

Brother, I don't print in this place anymore . There was a time years ago where this forum was of quality comments and concerns and it had quite the developers input included. Now? It's over run with the " me me me" tactless society which now has reared its ugly head here and sadly stayed. Just saw / read the factual thread and placed my Factual comments and as anticipated the slither from under the rock appeared. This forum was great at one time. I remember during the college world series a large group of us were live filled with productive comments and play by play that was multi generational until the final pitch . Now ? Again.. those folks are gone ( or like me , just read without printing )and the developers have to refrain from certain participating assets due to the classless and without tact responses that fill this place.
I am aware of the demographic that plays this game and know quite a few in their 50s, 60s and yes a couple who have broken the 70s age bracket . I've been around a long long time with this game and am still blessed with the opportunity to participate in each and every alpha,beta, and " tech test" they have . Sooo, not sure why anyone would conclude I just appeared and try to tell me this or that about anything to do with this game, forum, or it's age bracket.

@alabam22_psn said in Why directional is trash for online...: Directional (?)) Ya mean, what I refer to as - " toddler TEE Ball " ! It's a skilless joke and is the epitome of what ruins this game for grown folks, those who actually played ball and/or the true fans. There needs to be isolation toggles just like there are for "guess pitch", difficulty and the other choices prior to an online game search. {I've said this for years and years now btw} I play authentic ball as in a chess match, but get matched up with a puppy who plays Chinese checkers and even has extra marbles !! 2 different games and has no business at the same table ( on the same screen ) together. They have no foul balls and practically no base runners even....just skilless and ridiculous square button mashing home run derby's. The " fools gold " of it all is they claim to be good, sit in the leaderboards, and some how THINK they are actually playing the game. Not hardly. Starting an approximate timing window and then letting attributes and algorithms do all the work.... That's not " playing " by definition of the word in the slightest. It's nothing more than " Watching " (and some hoping) Playing a large number of those top leaderboard puppies that are there year after year is mostly laughable. It's skilless manipulation based on attributes and algorithms not player skill in the slightest. The mixing of the " authentic players " with the toddler Tee ball boys in online play IS this games biggest short coming and farce. So what of people who are physically unable to play with zone hitting? Should that not be allowed to play online?

No- Everyone should be allowed to play and enjoy the game. There just needs to be separation between the skill sets. Like I said , one player plays chess and the other is playing a rigged game of Chinese checkers with a extra sock full of marbles.
It doesn't fit, never has, never will.
