It’s a video game for gods sake. Stop acting like this is supposed to be real baseball. I’d you can’t handle minor glitches here and there, go play something else
It's a baseball sim. What the heck else is it supposed to be if not real baseball?
Quick pitching or slide step?
I played a guy that swung at EVERY SINGLE PITCH and had a similar outcome. Excepct I had several barreled balls nerfed and multiple outs right at guys all game. It was 0-0 in the 7th and he had 18ks. That inning when he was batting there was an error, a bloop hit over the 1bs head, and then a 3 run homer. I ended up winning in the bottom of the 9th.
There are some people that swing at every single pitch because they know that eventually the game is going to groove one down the middle despite the users input and they will be rewarded.
Everyone has Mo so more people have seen him. Less so about kenly. Although i have both in my bullpen

i am not one of the ones that makes this complaint routinely, but the biggest pitching complaint is that change ups and curve balls tend of float up from the targeted area (despite good user input) and are routinely crushed, making them pretty useless. Also not getting strikes called on the black
hitting complaints are all over the board, I won't even try to sum all the ones I have seen on here.
This. On top of the floaters a perfect pitch release should result in that pitch going exactly where you wanted it to. I can't count how many times I have placed a pitch in the strike zone and had a good release only to travel a foot or two out and bean a batter. I agree a good release should be penalized a small amount but not drift a few feet and bean a batter. That is for poor releases.
Agreed. Even bad pitchers can hit a spot when their mechanics line up in real life. There's two things they can do to fix this. 1. Make the yellow line harder or easier to hit based on a pitchers control. The better the pitcher, there bigger there yellow line. Maybe make a perfect release option like they did with throws home. 2. make a pitchers "PCI", like a circle that indicates where the ball could go upon release with each pitch having a different sized circle based on how good that pitcher is wity that pitch. It's really baffling how they haven't figured this out yet. It's not that hard to come up with something that takes into account user input AND player attributes. But they have zero reason to change. No competition in town.
The pitching mechanic you talk about is basically pulse.
Exepxt for its not pulsing, and it uses other modes of pitching for input. Soooo not really.
Who thinks having different speeds across different levels is stupid?

I don’t have the appropriate context because I’ve never played this game prior to this year.
Can you all describe for me how hitting and/or pitching is different this year than it was in previous years?
It's broken because the game ignores user input in favor of the RNG. Example: you aim a curve ball in the dirt with a perfect release? Too bad your pitcher only has 80 control so that ball will be hung in the zone and hit for a home run. Hitting wise is very similar. Too many well struck balls go for outs. In 2019(or it may have been 18) over 80% of barreled balls went for hits. I would say that it's less than 50% in this game. Don't get me wrong it was broken last year too.
@Oachs83 said in When People Say Hitting/Pitching is Broken:
Very easy to explain
When you lose hitting and pitching is broken
When you win.....crickets
I won a game the other day in the bottom of the last inning on 5 hits including 4 homers. Hitting is broken.
Josh Gibson would make all other catchers obsolete.

I don't plan on getting a ps5. I made the switch to Xbox with the news that the show will go multi platform. Game pass ultimate is the best deal in gaming right now. I'll play 21 on PS4 if I have to until it comes out for Xbox/PC.
@KyleS779 said in This game is rigged. Dont believe me?:
As much money that is given to this Studio via stubs, via just games bought, how is it that they do not feel inclined to put out a better product? Game play wise, both '16 and '17 are far better than this game. I dont understand.
They don't have to. No competition.
No. Same thing happens everytime. The ks are easy. But it doesn't matter. A player will always hit a home run no matter what. I've never seen anything like it. I've tried that moment several times and it's the same thing over and over. It's so funny that SDS thinks we wouldn't notice. Lol.
I usually get excited about new and improved game play features that will FINALLY make the game feel like real baseball online. But I gave up hope on that last year and waited until October to buy the games this year. I may do that again. I also like new legends and content but I really feel like the game is starting to cap out on content. This year there was so much to do and so many players that I don't think a content update alone can make me purchase the game day one. There content was the best in years off you ask me.
I would like a "fan favorite" option. Like as a Cubs fan I would love a mark Grace card. Not that he would be a 99 or anything. But he would just be fun to play with/collect.
Maybe try closing the show and opening it up again? That fixes stuff for me sometimes.
@Cubieblu said in Yelich 3-HR moment:
It was the one extreme moment that I got..I hit two in my first two at-bats. Game proceeded to go into the 17th inning; finally hit the third in Yelich's 8th at-bat.
It's stuff like this that makes me feel like moments are rigged. Like there's an RNG that determines if you will complete the moment before it even starts.
So he was able to put multiples of the same card in?
It wasn't this year but last year I had a GOOD swing directly in the middle of the PCI over the heart of the plate that resulted in a swing and miss. So there's that.
