Help me figure this out ...
My RTTS player has 90+ ratings in power, contact and vision (with equipment boosts) and I often have good swing timing, but I swing right through the pitch or make weak contact. I'm hitting .227 thru mid-June and I've had MAYBE one perfect-perfect swing all year.
Are the Baseball Overlords trying to keep me humble?
I tried shifting down from All-Star to Veteran difficulty, and the problem got worse.

Thought I was gonna see some pitchers getting taking out. I got a couple video's of pitchers rolling on the ground.
Yeah that ... Pitchers also don't duck when the catcher throws out a runner at second. I mentioned it in another post since it's not uniquely specific to RTTS, but since you brought it up Chuck ...
So titled because these are some minor (or major, depending on how long ago you took your meds) things I have noticed that may or may not need attention in RTTS. I truly LOVE this game, and I am 90 percent happy with it.
SDS, you are all valuable and special, and you all get participation trophies! HUGS!!
But, if you want to win next season's MVP, please hit the cages and chip away at these issues...
I won the Cy Young in my first full season in the majors (can you say wunderkind?!) and I have have been presented the award during a pregame ceremony before literally every home game the following season. I know Tampa is proud of it's pitching, but dang!
Can we get better equipment memory? I'm not even talking when switching loadouts. I go to a different area of the hub and then jump into a game, and I notice my equipment presets have changed again. And what's with the single batting glove default? C'mon, that's been a problem for years.
There is no animation in my created stadium features. It would be nice if I saw folks walking up and down the elevated train platform and fan towers, or roaming around the outfield terrace I built, which is pretty sweet IMHO (look up Publix Park under my profile in the Vault).
The field logos during opening week of my second season said "2022 Postseason" instead of "2022 Opening Week." This was before the latest patch, and I don't have any other RTTS modes going, so I've no idea if this has been fixed. If it has, you aight wit me, SDS!
It was fun striking out Ramone every time I played the Birmingham Barons. This is not a complaint. I'm just saying it made me laugh. Every. Single. Time ... No idea why.
Love, peace, and ambergris.

I read almost everything.
Collin is the hero we never realized we wanted.
Slow clap
This game is finally starting to look and feel like the life-altering, planet-shifting, mega experience that Tatis Jr. and Coach advertised. Not quite, but it's rounding into form nicely. I appreciate the team at SDS owning the early hiccups and working to polish the game.
It's far from perfect, but this is still the most visually stunning sports game on the market. I would prefer more substance than style. Since there are people on the development team who actually played baseball at a competitive level, it baffles me there are still some basic mechanics that have gone unaddressed. For instance:
First baseman fielding a ground ball down the line is hit or miss. I run through the runner without tagging him half the time. Occasionally, I have stepped over the bag without tagging it.
The strike zone is ridiculous. I like the challenge of playing with varying umpire zones, but an unreal amount of pitches where the ball is fully inside the zone have been called balls. Also, there should be way more strike calls on pitches that graze the edge of the plate. The probability of getting those calls either way often depends on situations and who is pitching/hitting, and it seems SDS did a better job of accounting for that in previous games.
Switch hitters walk up to the plate from the wrong dugout. This is kinda ticky-tack, but since we're here ...
I guess that's why we can't play night games. The SDS team wants us to know what it feels like wear sunglasses at night. Clap if a popular 80s song is playing in your head right now.
Much appreciated.

Big thanks to @hoboadam_PSN @dbarmonstar_PSN and @GrizzBear55_PSN for such great contributions last time. Hopefully, you guys will pitch in today.
Ok, so slight rule changes to make things interesting. ONLY non-baseball movie quotes allowed.
Let's kick things off with a Star Wars gimme ....
SDS: "We're trying our best to fix..."

I have no idea who is winning anymore, but at this point it doesn't matter. These quotes have been awesome.
In case the SDS team is reading: Beatings will continue until morale increases.
Mine are directed to the crybabies in the forum not towards SDS just to make it clear.
You are a scholar and gentleman, Grizz.

Collin: Do you realize that you jeopardized the entire company? Do you realize that your actions have destroyed everything I've been working on?
Ramone: We have been working on.
Collin: Without money, the site can't function. Let me tell you difference between SDS and everybody else. We don't crash ever! If the servers are down for even a day, our entire reputation is irreversibly destroyed.
Ramone: Look...
Collin: Users are fickle. EA has proved that. Even a few people leaving would reverberate through the entire user base. The users are interconnected. That is the whole point. Whiney babies are online because their friends are online. and if one domino goes, the other dominos go. Don't you get that? I'm not going back to the Caribbean Night at A-E-Pi!
