I'm new and 52-64 on DD....I'm sick and tired of the 1-0 games . I pitch elite, but I can't effing hit for shiate....it seems like the last few days I'm hitting the ball everywhere, right on the nose and I'm grounding out , fly out, line out etc...meanwhile the opponent can't hit the side of a barn with a giant tennis racket and he swings at everything. For 1 fricking contact he hits a bomb....I strike these [censored] wipes put 17 to 20 times a dam game....

I'm sick and tired of effing can't score a dam run...if I would score 5 a game I'd be 90-26...seriously ,all you haters can suck a big a #$%^ but I'm just done playing this game. Hitting isn't coming around. I'm Uninstalling the game. I have no clue how to get better at the plate....it would be cool if 2 players could be on a team, one hit and one defense...screw hitting

great answer!!! thanks

I'm not playing a 7 year veteran when I just was able to get game 2 months ago...this is why I dont not play crossplay. In cod I do play crossplay because I've played cod for 12 years

He couldnt hit worth a darn in first inning. I crack out 3 runs in bottom of first then in top of 2nd he cracks off 7 runs without me coming close to recording and out. There are so many cheaters on this game. There are thousand upon thousands of modded controllers that moved right over from fps games to mlb21 when it came over to Xbox. I know the websites , I guess I need one too. This has taken the fun out of the game. Sad sad

Needed 3 more 42 series players to get the 99 Jackie. I needed hank, babe and cal Jr. All around 40k stubbs. So I'm grinding and gonna get the most expensive and work down. The card somehow raises to 95k stubbs, wtf? So being a rookie I use all my stubbs I grinded for to get him, the next morning he is at 38k stubbs again. I could not believe a dam VIDEO game would do this. This is no different than video poker gambling or something. Why did this happen?

i tried to tell others this last week and i was trolled because of it. the cronus zen is a hardware attachment that goes on your controller and it modifies the games control on pitches so that you can pin point an exact pitch on ALL pitches with no vertical or horizontal recoil or drop. it also has a modification on hitting called "feather batting" where your contact is extended outside the zone to cover a larger batting area as if the zone is bigger than an 18 inch wide plate.....im for sure ran into on of 2 these guys about 10 days ago. their hitting was unreal and their pitching was the best ive seen in 39 games ive played. i knew he was cheating when i actually hit the ball, he COULD NOT field properly, ran straight at balls that were hit and misjudged how to suicide catch ground balls in outfield as he would run by the ball and not pick it up, he would throw balls to wrong base, his catcher was way late on throw downs....he only relied on his abilities thru his modded controller using the zen program which does NOT cover defense only pitching and hitting. say what you will, i know this is true. also in COD these programs are a dime a dozen and are frequently used hence the jumping bean player who headshots you hip firing around the corner. lol

his vision is horrible , i wouldnt spend that much on a player with 62 vision

Lots of cheating going on in this game.....way more than players realize

No matter what you actually try to talk about, trolls chime in and internet big boys(actually are 5'3 lol) always gotta contradict, deflect, talk smack, insult , high jack and just basically be a loser here! just watch! Ready go...

seems like all my losses are from players hitting multiple bombs on me. a player will hit 3 bombs with 5 total hits in the game and i lose 4 to 2......all their players are 95 ovr and up, oritz, trout , chipper, etc. they literally swing at all kinds of pitches, i struck out a player last night 13 times and he hit 4 bombs off of 6 hits and i pulled my pitcher after 7 innings and then i just quit in the game cause my relief sucks and finished out the game with what was a tie game into the 6th inning. its weird tho cause when i get a hit they cant field, run by baseballs rolling, delayed throws etc. it doesnt add up.

If you say this game is good your lying. Yesterday when Robert Flores said he used contact swing all the SDs guys looked like they had been smacked in the face. The game is so broken in hitting, defensive urgency or lack of, servers and that’s three issues. They are proving that they as a studio are inept at providing a truly great product

I effing agree....the hitting is not natural like

I square up balls right down the middle for mid field fly ball outs....but I'll lace a low and away for a bomb...weird

If you can pitch elite, then hang in there.
I'm the same at pitching, but won't play RS until my offense gets consistent.
Do you use BP? Have a monitor, Drop your PCI?
Be specific.
Don't get mad if you're posting, obviously reacing out for help and assume you're going to get hate.
Try Precision Rings of it's PCI issues. It helps me a lot.
I'm actually content playing Offline only but really want to see if my pitching translates to success vs. human toxic mf's, lol.
Just remember that you did get to that many wins, and you're new.
Believe in yourself!

Bp? Batting practice? Yes....

What u mean monitor?

Drop my pci? Meaning?

batting practice on higher difficulties though?
monitor: as in a computer monitor... as in, if you are playing on a tv you're going to have a bad time because of input lag ( I learned this and got a monitor the second week I had the game and it helped tremendously).

drop your pci meaning are you slamming it down and causing a lot of popups because the ball goes to the very top of your pci because you put it down too far?

Yes I practice but not on higher difficulty just veteran

I have a monitor....

Yes I fricken hit fly balls....rarely I hit 10 ft high liners to the outfield

@scottd_3ds_psn said in I can't stand this game:

You are so right. You've played over 100 online games, that's plenty to form a valid opinion. I've played for 2 years, still the same. The lack of hitting and scoring makes the game boring, frustrating and just sucks. I can somewhat occasionally hit if I'm below pennant race, but every time I get over 500 rating, I can't hit, I literally can't even see the pitch. Breaking balls drop 3 ft. 95 mph fastball seem 105. I can't pitch, walk or hit batters almost always followed by a bomb. I actually hit a perfect/perfect for a foul ball down the line. How is that perfect? This game sucks and I'm sick of hoping I can keep my batters averages over .200, and btw, opening packs is just a waste of time, how many uniforms and stupid useless equipment do I have to hoard?

I agree totally about the hitting... I'm between pennant race and wild card... in this area I struggle with hitting...hrs are too easy to hit and singles are hard as fuk to get....I agree bout the 3ft breaks in pitches. I tried playing again tonight and I lose 3 or 4 games and win 2, barely....its not fun to lose over and over. I didn't uninstall game like I said but I'm getting there. The hitting part of this GAME is garbage imo...

@chuckclc_psn said in I can't stand this game:

Are you guys talking about those Kontrol Freak rings? I always wondered how those work. Scared to try. I have already had to remove my R analog Kontrol Freak risers because of PP pitching. I hate them for PP pitching. They were good for analog though.

Yes.
They aren't going to be for everyone.
You won't be able to reach pitches out of the zone, so they could help for plate discipline in a strange way, but I like low pitches out of the zone and some high ones outside the zone can get demolished as you guys know.

I'd like to know if PCI droppage happens with an XBOX controller. Maybe the OP can answer.

I'm new but what is pci droppage?

@chuckclc_psn said in I can't stand this game:

Your first 2 words were, "I'm new". How can you pick something up and expect to be good so fast? You have to keep at it and stop letting it get to you. If you cannot overcome tough losses you will never get better.

Because losing sucks ...hitting has to be easier...all cameras I try suck

@worldrevolver said in Hitting style, which camera, pci and color?:

I think I am on zoom. Use ocean (also spring green sometimes) pci, no center no outer and around 40 transparency so it’s less of a distraction.

I like zoom

This post seems to have been deleted.

What ya got ?

I use catcher high, black wedge pci....worked for a while but for some reason I flip back and forth from strikezone 1/2 to zoom back to catcher high.....I just can't hit... lol

These pitchers give me fits....Edward Cabrera because his release is like Nolan Ryan ball just jumps out of his hands....and Oswalt with those fricking sliders in and out of zone, when done correctly ,u can't pick up the out of zone ones...

Which camera, which pci and color you use? Are you having trouble hitting or you found your pci and camera angle that works for you?
