Player inputs should matter in “competitive” game modes.

Throwing a pitch with 100% accuracy just to have it land anywhere in the “par region” that is half of the zone makes no sense and when it is in the zone or on the black it still might be called a ball because of the imperfect umpire. Completely negating your perfect user inputs.

I’m all for “realistic” gameplay if it works both ways.. pitches thrown into the clouds or 5ft below the zone shouldn’t be fouled off 8 times an at bat.

I get it… hitting is fun, but the foul ball spam + par region + the imperfect umpire calling 90% of the pitches on the black a ball is just dumb it forces you to just throw the ball in the zone to make every game a HR Derby

Add some of the RNG that pitchers face in the game to the batters. If 7/10 pitches on the black are balls then 7/10 of the foul balls they get on pitches 5 ft above or below the zone should be whiffs.

What’s the point of having them in DD if you’re not going give them viable cards throughout the year….

I’ve only seen one Negro League player used and we all know who that is lol

@TheGoaler_PSN imagine having a Rap Dixon card that is inline with the current “power creep”

@kingdutch_PSN I guess I’ll add this to the list of RNG animations lol… literally lost a game because my 3B took 10 minutes to throw the ball to first base

@GoozeFn_PSN pinpoint

@TheBigPapa55_PSN I’m ok with some being called balls for a more “realistic” feel or whatever… but 90% of the time they’re called balls. The foul ball spam makes it worse because you eventually have to say screw it and just throw one in the zone and hope your opponent doesn’t hit it.
