The game is just terrible. Plan and simple. Rewarded for bad input more rhan good.

And of reaction is terrible. NO MLB of runs the wrong way on every fly ball

@sbchamps17_NSW idk...how many times does the screen say perfect perfect on the video board at games?

This game is awesome! Every new title update messes hitting up in this game....
Still rewards bad input.more than good input and rewards people who play like dum faks.

This shis is ridiculous. No idea of pitch location and just hacking and being rewarded. Takes 0 skill to use timing only. Esp with these OP cards. Of 100+ everythinf.

The difference is online in DD almost every card you play against is 99. Guys with high vision and high ct and power. The cpu controlling your pci is an advantage.... esp on AS level and even on hof due to more mistake pitches w harder diff.

No the game is just trash the past 3 yrs. The timing window is never same. They update game and say no afdjustments made to gameplay yet its always different after the update. So many outs with good good. Whats point of pci if you arent rewarded with the proper input. ‍️ only video game ive played where the worse you are the more rewarded you get.

Stop makin dumb logos.

Anyone else seeing this?

@BJDUBBYAH
Yes base it off one game. Cant go look at how many fouls there were off good timing, good contact. But by all means go on.
Im 32 and 22. Go look back when the game was actually good and rewarded user input at my record. Not to mention the use of timing only in a competitive setting. Keep chokin on that sds bbc bud.

Even tho they dont admit. The hitting is different after every update and the game still rewards bad user input more than good user input.

Same [censored] flaws 15yrs later in this game. It has become trash and its not even fun anymore. Catered to bums and now its just trash. How is good good an out more times than weak and late. Or what about a popout to catcher squared up and timing good. Make it make sense. Yet...a [censored] can strike out 18x and get lucky on 0-2 pitches the game decides to hang in zone and win. $%%% this game and the lazy developers for turning a once great game into absolute trash.

I still cant get past pitcher warmup

This is it. PP lazy flyballs.
Waste pitch high out of zone cuz hes timing only and only swinging at fastballs. Oop lets reward him 0-2 with a bloop hit swinging at one above his head.

Arenaldo PP wtp... not even a hit..thats all i ask. Be rewarded for good input.

Wanna waste an 0-2 slider in dirt or in backfoot of batter...haha jokes on you. We will just hang it to be banged. This game is absolutely dog

Just struck out a guy ten times and he had more hits off late timin than i did total. I had a PP flyout to track w utley and he golfs a waste pitch for a hr. Lose 3 1. Two meatballs down middle and squared up w good timeinf and both line outs to cf the same exact play. Yes 69 evo ground balla squeak by the infield. This game is absolute trash and rewards you for literally being bad.

Strike a guy out 17x..i struck out 2 times.
Give up 5 hits 4 runs...8hits and shutout.
So the 3 of the 4 times he actually makes contact is rewarded w hr w zero good timing.
Yet having good timing and ball in middle of pci is a lazy flyout. I just dont get it.

Except the % of that actually happening is low. I have a winning record and id bet ive yet to even play a one armed man.

When a batter swings in real life. Does he adjust for pitch location or just time the pitch and hope it hits his bat?

A major league hitter, in particular--but anyone who had played a lot of baseball--has taken so many swings and drilled swings to specific locations (tees, toss, etc) for so long that adjusting for location when batting is muscle memory. It's timing that screws with that; you decide, too early or too late, where the swing should be and you choose the wrong location because the pitcher has deceived you and disrupted your timing.

Maybe you know more than Warren Spahn, but I happen to trust his take a bit more.

The advantage of timing is pitch location does not matter

I use analog, so it absolutely does, but even if someone simply pushes a button, a well-placed pitch beats timing/directional roughly 76% of the time (most timing/directional players hit about .240). Anyone with "skill" should do pretty well against those odds.

and takes out half the chess game of pitcher/batter.

Playing Missile Command while batting adds nothing to this aspect of the game.

I can pound inside fbs in key situations and get my opponent to want to sit up high on fb...and then change location on them and even with good timing of the fb theyd miss due to location. So timing is not the only factor

Again, with analog, that plays out the same way for you--except I'll actually swing and miss instead of foul it off. With a button-push, you're still looking at that 76%.

...and try timing a pitch while also moving the pci to get contact. That is inherently harder and should be rewarded more but its not.

It is clearly rewarded more, or no one would use it.

RS is for user for user skill. Its set to competitive settings which states that. Then you are rewarded w better players the farther you make it.

If RS was meant to exclude a particular interface, you wouldn't be allowed to use it.

Theres no reason for timing/direction only online unless unranked.

I prefer ranked to unranked, so I'll keep doing that, but thanks for being so open minded.

I wanna know whos hitting hrs while being late w zone? Its a popout almost every time if youre barely above the inner pci and late.

It should be weak contact most of the time, so that's a good thing. But it does happen, unless the in-game feedback has been lying to me. I'm not saying that it happens as often as it does with early swings (this should be rare, also), but it does happen.

I

So pitch location has zero to due with hitting? So if i swing w perfect timing every time at the same level..im gonna magically hit a ball at my knees because..well muscle memory?? Even when you hit off a tee...coaches move the tee around to different get this...locations.

If i used timing only and swung with power every time those just late swings would be hrs.

Pure analog doesnt make the user take location into effect either.

In RS w contact and power maxed. Letting the cpu "AIM" for you, esp on AS level, is an advantage esp if you swing w power every time.

Yes online should be user vs user. Not user vs cpu.
I guess we should just select a pitch and let the cpu do the rest too. ‍️

Also..for the handicapped...nothing prevents them from playing the game online. Just not ranked.

So basically you’re against handicapped people playing the game?

Sorry you lose to players using timing and directional. That’s completely on you.

Youre quite touchy w the handicap talk. Calm down. Ya when its handicapped and made easier to hit. Yes.. i lose at times. Havent made world series w zone. Go ahead and get to hof level hitting and see how long ya last in it w zone.
But carry on white knight.

Getting to the world series? The past few seasons ive been given the WS rewards even tho ive never made it to the WS in DD. So i for example i have andre dawsons card. But never made it to WS..???

Why is good timing and ball in inner circle of pci not rewarded. Ive also had more outs on PP than i have hits. Literal lazy flyball outs on perfect perfect. Yet people get hits on inside sinkers they are late on. Which should be sawing them off. Every time an update happens the gameplay gets worse. Esp when they emphasize no gamplay adjustments were made. Someone else needs to start making a game.
