If you never played the show prior to 18 and 19 then you have nothing to compare it to. The last two years were a joke pitch speed wise. Everybody could pick up a controller and not be late on a fastball but still wait on off speed. Pitch speeds are completely fine, if you can't catch up to a fastball it is a skill issue.

Im 1-23 with TA Tatis. He sucks.

eh, may not be one of the best hitting SS's in the game that sucks...

Absolutely, over an 800 in RS, but hadn't played in a bit. Played 5 event games and felt like I was right on everything for the most part timing wise. Hopped in a RS game on Hall of Fame and felt way off timing wise. Completely different feel for hitting.

I made a thread about this a few days ago and I think a huge reason for this is the lowered pitcher energy which, among other things, makes it harder to hit corners and therefore it's much easier to hit

That’s a solid point too.

I'll agree that it should be easier to hit since they are tired, but my results didn't feel much different.

I am talking strictly timing on pitches. It just felt way easier to be on time or even early on fastballs/sinkers. Who knows, maybe the guys i played in the events really did stink and I am over thinking it. But it just felt way more difficult to catch up to heat in RS than events.

I think they problem comes down to sample size here. In event games, if you’re a player that’s contesting for WS, you’re gonna be the far better player at least 4 out of 5 games. Those games will feel great since you’re gonna crush the guy. That 5th game, eh it’s only 3 innings. “anything can happen in a 3 inning game”

Then in RS, you’re playing someone at your skill level (even though you probably want to think he’s not) and you get 9 uninterrupted innings of tough baseball.

When you’re talking about how the game plays, or if you’re “right on” everything, don’t forget to factor in your opponents’ skill levels. You may not realize it, but if your timing is off on a lot of pitches, it might simply mean... wait for it... they’re actually good at pitching.

Queue the pitchforks...

The quality of player has nothing to do with the timing of hitting. A fastball is a fastball and so on, I get better players sequence pitches better and locate and all that, but it still does not change how much different timing felt hitting in ranked seasons on Hall of Fame compared to the event on hall of fame.

Your sentence shifts tense so many times that I can’t possibly follow. Did this actually happen or are you speculating?

I don’t see them doing this. The exchange process is important for taking cards out of circulation and keeping the market stable.

It is sarcasm on a forum for a video game, sorry I did not follow every rule of grammar.

You don’t have to follow any rules as long as you’re able to convey your thoughts clearly.
