I don’t think the game is bad . I think it just needs a good patch . I think hitting and pitching are terrible right now , but People get so obsessed with there contact and pci placement. Baseball is a game where even the best players in the world fail 7 out of 10 times at the dish . You should NOT get a hit or HR every time you get “good-good” or “perfect-good “ or whatever . This is a SIM game , not arcade . The only thing that would be worse then the state of the game right now , would be if every “good-good” got you a hit . Jesus every game would be 23-27 with 35 hits a side and take 2 hours to do . Yes the game should reward good contact but it should be rewarding it 25-35% of the time .

2 questions :

1. So if the top let’s say 10,000 love the way the game is and the rest of the 900,000 or so have serious issues , we should just leave everything how it is to cater to the 1% because “they are the top players ?

2. Does Posting this mean the “top guys” now tap the back of your head when they are about to finish ?

I don’t think it’s RNG . I think it’s the obsession with “perfect-perfect “ . RNG allows for bloop and other hits you no longer get . It also gives a bonus to the players it real life who don’t have a “glitch swing “ (looking at you trea Turner and your 75 HR ) . It seems like now the only way you get a good hit is if you get “p-p” everything, and I MEAN EVERYTHING , else is a fly ball 90% of the time . That’s great for the top 5% of players , but for those of us who didn’t “buy a monitor “ or don’t want to spend hours watching YouTube hitting tips videos , it sucks . Honestly go play Ranked , play 10 games , mark how many people you play that have 8/9 players hitting under .230 . (Assuming the guy has used the player for more then 10-15 games ) . I know that if I get any replies to this it will be “ What are you talking about , I make WS every season and I’m batting .600 with 78 HR in 14 RS games with Acuna “ or “Get good “ . Bottom line this years version sucks donkey and I have yet to talk to anyone that legit has fun playing it

I want the hitting engine to not be absolutely terrible . I want to feel powerful at the plate with Pujols, babe , and Griffey . I want to feel like I can BLAST a HR if the pitcher makes a mistake . I want to STOP playing people who cheese bunt for hits because it’s a legit strategy this year , I want to STOP hearing about glitch swings and seeing tra Turner constantly have more HR then every other player on teams I play . I want contact hitters to hit singles and doubles . I want to have my 99 speed guy beat out the 6 speed guy to first on a infield hit . I want to stop having by best hitter batting .230 ! And most of all , I WANT TO STOP SEEING THE [censored] BUNT SHUFFLE !

Great post. I did agree with hitting being OP . I think hitting has just as many issues as pitching . The difference being that if you get lucky in hitting your hitting a HR 90% of the time where if you get lucky with pitching , best case your getting a single swinging strike . I have played about 50 online RS and BR games since launch and the box scores are always realistic ( in a 9 inning game let’s say a score of 7-2 with 7 hits on each side ) but the team that wins is always the one that has the big inning (back to back HR or two guys get on cause of a fielding glitch or something ) but after that both teams struggle to get anything going .

HATE hitting this year . I’m on next gen and it’s complete [censored] . Pitching is ok but you gotta get a feel for it and use the same 5-10 pitchers EVERYONE uses
