@Speedy44 said in Are Check Swings a Waste of Time?:

Anyone know why when you push box it’s always a check caller strike? I feel like this only happens when I’m batting. My opponent somehow never seems to be called

Box is for power swings, you'll have less chance of getting a check swing.

Sideways cross is for normal swings, this will give you a ball more often.

If you hit donut, you'll get the most balls on check swings, as it's for contact swings.

If you hold down roof, you'll bunt, no matter what.

Yes, but it’s way better than the last two years.

Pitching is low key the worst part of the game this year. I say low key because most people are talking about fielding and hitting. But, pitching for me has been the absolute worst. I was always a much better pitcher than hitter in this game but it’s impossible this year. It’s a real bummer and I don’t see them fixing it this year.

Agreed. I was looking at my online pitching stats from last year today. The game is really in a bad place.

Yeah, in years past I never felt out of a game because I could at least keep games close with my pitching. But, this year if I don’t allow a run an inning I consider it a positive.

@Texans4lyfe said in Comebackers off the pitchers:

Anyone else feel like they happen way too often? Feels like they rarely happen in real life but occur in the majority of the games I play. Singles turning into outs ....

I hit severino with 1 of those in the 9 inning game i played vs the yanks to attain granderson in like the 2nd inning gave him concussion like symptoms and knocked him out the game lol

I agree but as a business they won't. This community is so toxic they would hold everything said against them if it wasn't done perfectly or possibly not be able to get done. Right now I just want them to address pitching and I'm happy.

Yes dude the randomness is killing me. How does a perfect 2seam fastball CUT IN 8 INCHES over the middle of the plate? I can handle getting beat if he hits my pitch right where I wanted it. That’s how it should be. Trying to figure out what the point of having a meter is at this point if doesn’t do anything.

They say it is in the users hand with user input, but that I guess is only for hitting, Pitching is bad, If it going to randomly throw to the middle of the plate they need to call the corners at a higher Rate in this game. Right now I might be getting 10 percent of corners called but I do not think it is even that high which forces walks and alot of balls lowering the pitchers energy and confidence and that usually when pitches start going all over the place no matter how perfect the release is where you want to throw the pitch.

Yea. They might as well just take the meter away at this point. Just pick your pitch, put it where you want it, and let the CPU/stats decide if you get lucky or not. That’s basically how it works with the meter anyway

@halfbutt said in Is hitting TOO easy?:

You don’t think the pitch speed has something to do with that? I mean, there are some really good players in the community.

100% pitch speeds. And IMO the PCI might be a little bit too big, even on the higher difficulties.

Thanks for the reply, what exactly does this mean? Find a modem that supports loadex?

Extreme facepalm*

Hahahaha

I know it's not the answer any of you want but I think if you get a Netgear Nighthawk router all of your problems will be solved. I bought a AC1750 at Walmart for 60-70 dollars and I no longer have issues. But... it isssss what it isss
