@dirtydan1981_xbl said in Is the PC Version next gen and is it locked at 60hz?:
It is the next gen version and it's locked at 60. Locked isn't the correct word though, it's max frame rate is 60.
How is your experience? I’m considering giving it a try. I have a nice pc and wired 1gb connection(at home, currently at school with [censored] wifi) and if the lag is not noticeable I would rather play on my pc than ps4
Does anyone have experience playing this years game through cloud gaming on a pc? I know last years version suffered from terrible input lag though I never played myself. I have a well spec’d pc that I would much rather use than my ps4 if the game is playable. I play mostly online so minimal input lag is a must.

You might take some heat for this post. The people on here, myself included, absolutely love online play this year. It's probably the best it's ever been, except for the show 18, that game is goat.
Um wrong
Yeah obviously man
I think I got whooshed lol

@raesone_psn said in This event just isn't fun. Something I thought I'd never say about moonshot.:
My biggest issue is the game forcing my good/perfectly executed pitches outside the strike zone into the strike zone. And not only that, but at very hittable locations. We've seen this before in 18 and also in 20.
Are PARs bugged? I know they changed how perfect release works but I’ve noticed a number of perfect inputs that seem to not even be within the par, and certainly not where I wanted the pitch. On the flip side, bad input goes for consistent dots.

Not an Xbox player but I’d probably go with 0 dead zone or whatever is closest to it. It’ll probably take a good while to get used to it but you’ll have a lot of control
The way they have it set up is there are three rings on the plane of the joystick and you can make them whatever size and change the sensitivity.
I just started messing with it but I made the inside ring as big as possible to keep the pci centered to prevent over pursuing a ball in the middle of then zone and it seems to kind of propel the pci to the outside since the outer two rings are close together….seems to help reach the corners more easily as well as keep the pci from getting on top or a pitch in the zone.
I think you’re going to want to do the exact opposite of that
Although I’m not familiar with the software so I could be very wrong. And 0 dead zone could be miserable on the show so do whatever works. I just know many of the best controller fps players play on 0-very small deadzones

The only way to make it truly like 17 as you described is all bad PCI is not hits, and all good PCI is hits, otherwise BS wins or losses will happen. And 17 wasn't like that way.
All swings outside of the pci should be swings and misses. This is how you solve it.
And then you get complaints about "This was in the PCI, how was this a foul ball?" etc etc.
Also you have to consider the casuals because SDS has to consider the casuals. There has to be a compromise somewhere
Foul balls to the lines would be determined by timing, foul balls straight back would be the balls that are split between inside and outside the pci, or just on the edge.
I’m aware casuals would struggle and obviously pci sizes in general would have to increase slightly. This would also solve all of the people complaining about the home runs as balanced lineups would be far more important just like real life. As for casuals, they can remain just that. Casual. Ranked is a competitive mode and I personally value competitive integrity. I don’t say all this to be a griper or whiner, I’m just putting my two cents in for what would make this game truly competitive. The game we have been playing is no where near competitive.
Sounds reasonable. I'm a VERY average player, can max out about low-800's if I get on a good streak, but I can admit that outer PCI is a huge crutch that keeps at bats going. Like you said, K's would balloon if they got rid of it, so increasing inner PCI would be necessary.
My biggest complaint is that line drives are far too often hit right at fielders -- ridiculously too often. I assume it's just the way the programming is triggering outs, but it's very frustrating to see so often. Hit variety needs a massive upgrade.
I don’t think hit variety is a real problem. I think when the hall is squared up it needs to be a hit, not decide to die 200 feet from the wall
Sorry, can't agree with that 100%. Squared up balls should be hits MORE OFTEN in competitive mode, but surely not always. The % needs to increase by 10-15% I'd say for players to feel like input matters more than RNG in online play.
I misspoke and think we agree more than it appears. My gripe I believe is with changes made to launch angles this year. I am popping out consistently on balls within the pci, this should not be the case. If it is driven to the track for an out or caught on a line I’m significantly less frustrated than when it goes straight up

You can say that, but casuals don't have that same view, they want to play ranked, and SDS can't just ignore that.
SDS doesn't want this game to be a "truly competitive" experience, I don't think that was ever their goal. They aren't trying to be Rainbow Six Siege here.
And that’s completely okay. Just don’t market it as competitive

@gradekthebard said in Struggling With Mini Seasons, Agree?:
If you are struggling against the cpu on rookie, the problem is you. While the cpu is better than last year, you still shouldn’t be giving up more than a run or two a game (if that).
I will absolutely defend him here. I consistently coast to WS in ranked. I played mini seasons on veteran and I don’t think I won a playoff game by more than 4. It was not rare for me to be shutout until the 3rd. Not because I can’t hit but because the ball wont leave the yard and trout Clemente buxton etc in the OF run down everything

Yeah i'm sure it's SDS's fault! I hit singles,doubles, and triples all the time. You probabally should double check your feedback b/c i would bet a 1000 bucks that in these cases it's more user error than the game.
You’re probably playing on beginner mode.
I’m playing in the big boys league with the other adults.
Yup yer right 12 years now playing this game and i am on beginner. God you are so smart! How do you do that? Do you get your skills from being a proffesional age/weight guesser at the local carnival?
You say you are playing with grown ups, but yet you post a pathetic thread title that really sounds like a 10 year old.
Talk to me when you’re last spring training in RS. I don’t stoop down to your low level
Bah hah hah!! Anyone who has seen me post on here knows i don't play ranked hardly anymore for various reasons. But you keep searching peoples records and using that as a defense. Pathetic!!!
In all fairness the game does play different online. There are a lot of balls that are not quite dead center pci that still have good timing and are around the middle of the pci that result in an automatic canned animation fly out or ground out. If you play enough games it becomes painfully obvious they should have put more results in their batted ball outcome animations.
My favorite is when a ball is on the outside part of the plate and you square it up with good timing, hitting it where it’s pitched, and it’s a lazy line out. Or the ones you square up on the ground that look like lazy choppers but the feedback says it was 100+ off the bat

If you don’t play ranked then you don’t really understand the hitting complaints. Hitting in ranked is terrible. Squared up with good timing is a line out to the track or right at someone while bad hitting is consistently rewarded.

IMO, Zito's curve was not all that great. Max Fried has the same curveball style. I think Kerry Wood or Verlander had the best curves. Curves that are thrown hard with late bite is difficult to pick up. But I'm excited about Leiter. He looked legit in college.
IMO, the pitch you’re describing is what a slider is intended for. A well thrown, slower 12-6 can really eff with a batters timing and straight up make major league batters look silly. Nothing against the power curve, but if you’re going with a curve and a slider, give me the slower curve to mix up speed differentials.
literally what I was thinking, playing throughout my life you could be timed for a fastball and a hard power curve you could hold hands back and flick it through the 5 hole ... a slow loopy zito esque CB??? youre sitting one or the other not both
Exact opposite lol. Slow and loopy you can see it out of the hand and slow your body down to hit it the other way, hard curveball and you’re swinging like a fool

That is going to be this games motto i think.
17 was just late be great
19 was get your lineouts here
I forget what 20 was.
21 was painters paradise or ultimate outlier stamina
22 will be ball just not carrying to 1st tonight.
Nothing catchy for 20 but basically be early and don’t put your pci on the ball
