Probably loading 4 more Smoltz cards into the system, it takes a lot of bandwidth.

I will allow you to add that.

Only thing I can say is playing someone who's skill level is 10x yours is no fun at all. Maybe that is why. Played the event yet? LOL

Agreed. Sometimes I think how is this fun for people? I like a game I have a chance of losing. These guys are in the 400s playing and every batter is hitting 400 with 40 hr. Its so F lame. And I know its a game, blah blah blah, but when you are up 10-2 and you bring in Aroldis and your still trying to dot corners and dipsy doo out the strikezone, I hope your dog runs away

This game (online) is a horror show for a .500 player. You either run up against the scumbags who won't just play the game and screw around with pauses and all the other douchey [censored] people do, or you start out a game well and the person quits, or you get murdered by a better player.

a Walk is as good as a hit except on this game.

There is always a chance of losing. A 10-2 lead can evaporate in an instant. RNG error, bloop single, homerun which destroys the pitcher's confidence, and then good luck stopping the rally.

Do you want your opponent to put in a common pitcher tossing the ball in underhand when you go down by more than 6 runs? If we were to match up, you bet your [censored] I'm going with a reliever like Chapman and I'm trying to get you out. Who even has a subpar reliever in the pen at this point?

Something to be said about sportsmanship as well. Whats the fun in destroying people? Why not try and pitch in the zone at least?

@elway7751 said in Online hitting:

Im so confused on how to hit online.
Sometimes I think I have perfect PCI placement and then the feedback has me nowhere close.
Other times I wait and then I swing and the ball is in the glove when my guy swings.
What really puzzles me is that when I do move my PCI and think Im right on it the feedback has me dead center, it's almost like it froze.
I'll never understand how zone works online.
I watch the YouTube's and it's so fluid, when I do it, I can't get the [censored] close at all.
Nobody has ever been able to explain online hitting in a logical way that makes any sense to me.

You arent alone. When I do think I put a good swing where the ball actually is and the feedback shows that I was in the right spot its says the timing was too early or too late. When I feel like Ive timed the pitch correctly the PCI seems to be 4 inches over from where I thought I had it. Other times I feel I got a swing that should be P/P and its like the bat has a hole in the middle and its a foul ball or a swing and miss. Its super frustrating. Very frustrating online but SUPER frustrating in showdowns and moments where you know you should see more hittable pitches.

Most casual players gone. Only hardcore meatheads left. Ive had some weird play recently. People quitting when winning, bunting every at bat. Its odd.

At first I thought I would hate people quitting on me but an easy win is an easy win... just annoying sometimes in RS because now I cannot use the SP again for 4 games

The pauses and delays drive me insane though

An easy win yes, but potentially bumping you to another player who is much better. I know I have to get better to compete, but its nice to practice or have some relief against a player you have a chance against. I dont normally quit if I am getting killed unless the person is acting like a [censored]. People who quit wont get better by quitting. I just quit against someone who was like 200-600. He was pausing after every pitch. Thing is, he was doing well. Winning 2-0 in the 3rd and I only had 1 hit. Just play the game and stop the nonsense.
