@killerpresence4 said in Hitting is way too easy this year:

Is it me? It seems like every single player I face is Babe Ruth. And it’s not one way. I can’t miss hitting. Everything I put in play is a bullet. In fact I’ve ditched normal swings and am using power swing now until 2 strikes. I’m not worried about strikeouts because even when I’m fooled I foul the ball off. Just curious if anyone else is noticing this. I highly doubt I’ve made that much of a skill jump from last year to this year.

Certain pitches this year aren't as effective. Everyone is going to tank fastballs anywhere on the plate. The only decent fastball is the sinker and that's just bc it's busted. And they don't let you locate backdoor pitches so you can't freeze anyone. So you can just take until you get a fastball until you play really good players

Any link to this story as I read a very different version of how Freddie ended up in L.A.

dupe post due to website sluggishness

Nobody cares

On a lighter note, that was one hell of troll job by whoever posted that Jeter cover for the Switch. Gotta hand it to that person, that was pretty good!!!

I've gotten numerous 22's & 24's, but 27? That's phenomenal. It's a 'Y'all ain't hitting ish' game 🤪

Just switch to Directional, hold up and swing with power. It's not exactly cheating.....but....

you’re “aloud” to have your opinion, but it’s wrong to offer suggestions bc the online environment is perfect as is

Was just gonna post this. Confirm it needs updating

I chose him because on the current day he was worth the most and I didn't know who I really wanted. I am thinking of selling him and getting Willy with a nice 20k stubs gain as well.

Ok sad to say but glad I'm not alone and this isn't an isolated issue. Hopefully it won't take 13 hrs to ID the cause and get an update patch out like yesterday's debacle

@quinnymcquinn said in Bob Feller rage!!!:

I had this happen to me with Nolan Ryan last year. I’m waiting fastball obviously it’s got to get thrown. This one guy just kept curveball and change ups. Used the fastball as the off speed and straight smoked me every time. I think of myself as some what disciplined and I started becoming a hacker after an inning or two of this.

I was screaming at the monitor, and I don’t lose my temper ever in this game. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of offspeed pitches. What I couldn’t get past was the fact that I kept telling myself there is no way he keeps throwing these curves and change-ups and sure enough he kept throwing them. He definitely won the mental game against me. Fortunately my pitching bailed me out!!

Dead Ball event would be great.
But with no Cobb, it wouldn't feel right.

Dead Ball was hilarious last year. They made us play in Forbes, Polo and Griffith but with players less than 70 power in one part and then super low contact in the other. Key was live series and inside edge but forces you to use some pretty random cards. Still remember hitting that HR in Forbes with Drew Waters 🤣

Dead Ball would really separate the men from the boys, that's for sure.
It's easy to hit with the monsters today, but try hitting with Ed "S#it#y Batter" McDougal, or stealing with Leonard "Lead Shoes" O'Hoolihan.

@killerpresence4 said in Is this a thing:

Scenario: My opponent enters the pause menu for like 30 seconds, he exits the pause menu and is immediately delivering the next pitch. And of course with quick counts on the count is 1-2 and I strikeout looking. Has anybody else seen this happen to them.

It is a thing but it happens a lot. Some guys take forever between pitches then will quick pitch you. Some will pause then pitch quick. It’s just a thing. I’m ready for it more often than not.

Same thing happened to me, only 3 strongholds left now but can still steal 1M fans from the Rockies that were eliminated in the first turn

In one now, same as described above. Hard grounder to second base, no throw, just stands there. Freeze off begins.

Are you looking at your record in the event at the bottom of the main leaderboard? If so press square/x to switch to friends leaderboard and it should show up. If you go to that page and it's not showing, it's bugged

Thanks I’ll try that

I got 2 RS games in but it took about 5 min of searching for each game before I finally got past the “challenge failed” message

Annoying forsure but the last time this happened it didn’t last long and you can still play...just takes a minute

@exotic_combs_psn said in Quinn Priester:

I think priester will get lit up on higher difficulty. He doesn’t seem to have that one out pitch and all his pitches seem to have just average break

I have priester and he does get lit up on higher difficulty also tends to leave pitches over the plate
