Dear SDS,
First and foremost I wanna say your welcome because this is a VERY SIMPLE solution to make this game more enjoyable by all users.
All you have to do is allow Guess Pitch for players who use Timing or Directional. I don’t wanna sound egotistical but I’m ranked like 70th online so I feel like I have a right to complain. I also never played on a difficulty less than HOF or Legend. I can admit I’ve struggled a lot but my online record may say otherwise to an average player. I personally don’t like using zone at all for two reasons. 1) you will run into players who will literally hit everything. 2) Stats seem not to even matter with zone hitting.
Yes there are those perfect perfects that get caught at 3rd or those hard hits that get caught right on the warning track but lets face it, usually on HOF or Legend players know how to dot pitches so Timing or directional won’t work. I missed guessing pitches on spammers and getting rewarded. Bringing this setting back would give players like me a more enjoyable/causal YET competitive experience.
If you made it this far in my rant thank you. But let’s be REAL. How much more fun would diamond dynasty be if you didn’t have to hit 100 home runs. How much more fun would online rated be if you could hit homeruns on the interface option you find best to use. Bringing back guess pitch solves this. I rest my case.
