This recent patch has made the hitting timing windows absolute [censored]. Every hit is either early or late rarely any good squared ups anymore all good ok with good user input

@Hikes83 said in Ranked Seasons:

Why is it a waste of time? Sorry for asking, just haven’t played RS since 1.05

The skill gap is there but it’s not very prevalent. Good players are getting screwed by good okays with amazing pci placement and pitching is still atrocious. Sds claims that the reason no one can locate is Bc of pitchers bb/9 and control stats but good user input means nothing. I personally think the stats on a pitchers card should make it easier/harder to control a pitcher not leave it to rng like they have. There’s been many unnecessary steps taken to band aid the pitching problem. They nerfed hitting when everyone was loving it week one. They’ve barely touched pitching which everyone has been complaining about it’s inconsistencies. And they are not transparent about the issues. Yet they want to blame it on rng and say user input isn’t end all be all, after they have spent months hyping up user input creating a skill gap this year but they took it away after 1 week.

Victor can we get any information on the good/okay hitting feedback. I have not read anything from sds that has talked about this. I just would like to know what is the plan with hitting, and if it is being planned to tweak or to stay where it is?

I think hitting is playing exactly how they want it to which is why we never hear anything regarding it.

Yep, been saying all along this is intentional. Also been saying this studio needs some competition on the market bc they wouldn't pull non-sense like this week to week

It's just insane how transparent they are about fielding being broken, but not one thing has been said about the good okays after the day 1 patch. I just want some clarity as if the game is going to be this way all year or not.

Pitch speeds on all star feel ridiculous. And not to mention pci size is incredibly small for my players on all star. I have an all diamond team and the pci looks about 3/4 the size it was last year. And the pitch speed buff is crazy fast for all star. You have to sit dead fastball and when you get off speed you look ridiculous Bc of how fast fastballa are compared to offspeed. I do hit well still and it does create a bigger skill gap but I feel it’s being done in the wrong way. The skill gap should’ve been created by user input such as pci placement and timing along with pitching placement. Sds made a post in regards to the community complaining pitchers are hard to control. The bb/9 and control attributes for analog pitching at least should make it harder to control with the analog not with rng after good user input. That’d be like giving us button accuracy then 1/2 the time throwing the ball in the bleachers. It doesn’t make sense. Week 1 was the best any mlb has ever felt. And no one even got to experience legend difficulty on week 1 patch before they jumped the gun and tried changing stuff up. Sds needs to focus on user input more than anything right now. Not catering to the average player. They’re getting just as bad as activision is with trying to keep the “casual” players in the game with the good players by making the game rng.

@cellodan1_psn said in What’s the Salary for?:

Yeah, salaries are kind of pointless in this game. I have done one thing in the past to make the salary meaningful in at least one way. Take long term contracts at 30k/yr. This will allow your team to spend it on better complementary players. I know, it’s immersion breaking, but much of the game is these days...

I used to try and do this in the old shows by tanking my salary but they would counteroffer me back to 30 mil

This guy jbob is delusional. Irl players are strong enough to pull outside pitches for hrs. It happens a lot you just don't have good awareness of a strikezone

They announced server maintenance last night and told you what time. Also told you to complete everything prior. This ones on you

My biggest problem isn't with the homeruns its pitching being so awful and the fact with a good pci ball dead center you still receive good ok at an exponential rate. Good input should be rewarded. Even with pitching which is all over the place. You can't locate

Anyone else get dynamic trophies for pitching or hitting but cannot get it to go down so they can get the other half of the trophies?

Am I the only person who is winning their conquest games in strongholds since the update and they are not counting?

Are fly balls on defense crashing anyone in online instantly also? I can't finish an online game due to it crashing every time.

don't come out until the 5th. or 4th at midnight. but it'll be a ton of casuals on game pass and playstation guys from yty. also switch has joined so idk

Still need online to progress missions just like last year.

Why is the xp cap so low. I’m here to grind on launch day and I’m capped at 100k now earning 100xp per game. Anyone else think the cap is ridiculously low?

In 2v2 it hasn’t failed to freeze when pinch hitting for a pitcher and the forced replacement the next half comes in. When the bullpen pitcher comes in the game freezes instantly.

In years past I was able to equip my equipment and change my appearance. For example if I equipped socks it would default to high socks. Nbd in the past I would change to long or baggy pants and didn’t have to look at them. This year if I change it, it only stays that way for one game and completely resets all of my changes back to the default when you grab equipment.

Tatis has 16 errors or so and stays at 85 with a .900 Fld %. Austin riley has 10 errors at 3rd with a .930 something fld %. Why is his fielding on [censored] 48. Makes absolutely no sense.

this xbox guy never got to experience the ryan feierabend from the last 2-3 years
