I understand this game try’s to appease to try hards, casuals, ppl that want an arcade baseball game and ppl that want a true baseball sim game which I feel makes this game hitting and pitching engine makes 0 sense. Ther is 0 control of what you want to do in this game. The goal in this game is to hit and throw perfects. Which is a terrible Idea they could have bc baseball is far from being getting the perfect swing or pitch. This game lacks true control of hitting. There is no way to stay on the ball, go oppo, or any of that. If you try and go oppo or pull the ball with the pci or change the swing time it’ll be an out 99% of the time and that 1% bring a fluke. Pci and timing means nothing if it’s not a perfect and even if then you’ll still get an out. Hitting engine makes no sense due to the RNG aspect of it. I can swing at the same fastball in the same spot on the strike zone 10 times a get the same pci and swing placement, there will be 10 different results. I understand baseball is random but when I played and I got the same results majority of the time when I did the same thing, if I got my hand out in front of a fast fall I would pull it and so on but not in mlb the show. Hitting engine makes 0 sense. There’s no true control og hitting in this game. Rng shouldn’t be a way a game determines the outcome of hitting. You can be spot on with the pci and barrel the ball up and have early or late timing and get a pop up to first but then be under the ball with the pci and good timing and get the same result. What controls what? It’s abysmal. You can hit a perfect line out against a 69 ovr pitcher with 125 pow n contact but hit a no doubter when facing p5 Randy while hitting with a 87 ovr hitter that has 86 contact and 57 power and won’t be on the ball with the pci and be very early or late.. the hitting engine makes 0 sense along with the pitching engine.
