No it would be easier to get hits if the game rewarded you for pci placement. If I’m using a power hitter and I good good the ball, pci top line, diamond or circle on the ball it shouldn’t come off at a lower speed then the fastball thrown

It would truly be great if the game rewarded you for pci placement. Even greater if it didn't randomly animate the placement somewhere you didn't place it to create some scenario that wasn't there. I've actually not touched my controller (now this is rare) and the AI would animate my swing being slightly right and high to justify the 'ol "he swung through that one".

It just do what it want do do.

I'm 20 but this freaking game and it's silliness has aged me 40 years so I'm 60 I suppose.

Ha..ha..ha...and one more ha. Some of the very blatant going for inspiration and supporting the narrative posts I see out here. Funny stuff guys.

So because you can't hit a high fastball something needs to be done about it by the devs? wouldn't the thing to be done be practice?

No..when the word impossible because AI imposes this restriction...practice does not help.

Here is the deal, once you put a certain amount of hours in learning zone hitting you have got it. It's not brain surgery, it's not all this scientific rhetoric you hear. It's simply watching the pitch as it leaves the pitcher's hand, following the pitch, swinging at the pitch at the proper time. Once you learn zone it's simply...see ball hit ball...there is no more practicing.

IF you've played 100 innings on HOF mode...there is no more practicing that's going to make you any better. Either you have the reflexes and eye-hand-coordination or you don't.

Then the AI control takes over. And, regardless of the arguments, practice does not allow you to cross barriers and pitfalls within the code. AI runs this game not us humans.

@DeadPhish1976 said in Kingman is the worst:

Thats kind of how Kimgman was back when he played. Big long swing with a lot of strikeouts and not a guy who'd hit for much of an average at all. Good for the 450 foot bomb but not a lot else.

That's exactly how Kingman swung. But, you would think SDS could create some balances in that "big swing" to adjust and live up to the card ratings. I don't mind a .220 batter that hits a dinger every 10 AB's, But, his batting average is worse than any pitcher I use.

Do you believe we have "bot teams" in RS? I mean, it's not something that hasn't happened in almost every other portion of the online gaming industry. And also explain why at no given time, 24/7 have I not almost instantly had an opponent to play against. I know SDS has a fairly large customer base..but still doesn't feel "right".

And, if so, I suppose we've already started down the road of EA Squad Battles and don't even know it.

I’ve never thought about that, but I doubt it. How would they pitch?

It’s just crazy to me the skill gap difference on some players. I wish matchmaking were a bit better. Running into that buzz saw after hitting 700+ every time is annoying.

The guy hit everything with authority . Heat, off speed, breaking ball...

Do pitchers just have “bad games”? I’ve played games where I mash early on as well, but it’s not that often. Actually, it’s usually when I have a video streaming so maybe it’s a connection thing. Sometimes I can catch up to any FB, other times, it’s like I’m swinging a noodle.

I know a lot of people have these complaints, but how are some players consistently able to perform?

How would they pitch? It would play out like any offline AI/human game. I would actually be surprised if there weren't a whole lot of bot opponents on RS.

This is no major feat. The AI beat the pro...no offense to your ability.
