Is absolutely horrible imo. Game is very inconsistent. On center pci, sometimes it’s perfect perfect, sometimes it’s good/squared, and usually it’s good/good or good/okay. The hitting was really solid before the patch. If too many runs were being scored, make hitting more difficult by increasing the pitch speeds or fixing the pitching. Randomizing the hitting is not a good fix for too many runs being scored
Don’t even get me started on the timing window.. something’s off with it too

Follow up to that which hiring style is the adult version and why?
I think he just turns off the pci, cause if hes knocking zone, then he needs to rethink.
No, I play Analog Stride cause I'm a man, I'm 41.
Wow 41 and trolling a video game forum. You may be a man, but a pathetic one at best. Or u may be Kieran
Good thing u were able to overcome your huge internet disadvantage and put up a good inning.
I used to frequently post, but haven’t been around here much at all lately. I have played this game a lot the past few years. There have been several times I’ve decided to quit the game, only to come back later because honestly the game can be addicting. Each year , I have been hopeful that the gameplay will improve. However, every year there are glaring issues that ruin gameplay, especially with the hitting.
These issues have stemmed from mlb 17 when ball physics was added. The obvious hitting issues from each year are:
17- late hits
18- extremely slow pitch speeds, early hits rewarded too much, balls in middle of pci resulting in pop ups
19- lineouts, bad exit velos on perfect pci
20- good/okay and good/good on perfect pci
Each year, I lose enthusiasm to play. And I’m at the end of the line here. The game just frustrates me too much, it’s not worth playing imo.
I have met a lot of cool people in this community and on here, which I am thankful for. Ik a lot of people don’t like these posts about people announcing their departure, so I’m sorry if you’re one of those people. Since I’ve been on here a lot in the past, I wanted to let everyone know what’s going on and why I won’t be here anymore. I wish everyone the best.
I might be back some day if SDS manages to fix the issues and improve the game, which I doubt will ever happen, but until then, so long.
Who wants to see me mercy this clown within 4 innings?
I hate the hitting now. Maybe I’m in the minority idk
I think Judge will be a gold
People are so in denial that they blame the game for having mediocre records. They act as if their opponents aren’t playing the same game as them. Everyone gets screwed over in this game, it’s about overcoming that
Imo the best strategy is to just use strike zone so the pci looks really big and just center swing. Don’t aim n earn at all just put the pci in the middle n her fluke hrs
man’s hitting .248 and challenging people to grudge matches lmao. Can’t wait to hear if this guy thinks the hitting is “way too easy” after playing on legend. Over/under on 20 strikeouts? I’m going over.

@mitchhammond24 okay I'm stupid. Just started watching a video and it is 5 weeks. And if it's like last year, you should be good.
Aight thx man, good to know. GL to you if you’re participating
so I haven’t played DD in well over a month, but the chance at a 15k prize is enough to bring me back. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this question: To participate in the tournament, do I have to be signed up before the first qualifier, or can I sign up later and play in other qualifiers? I’m currently out of town so I won’t be able to sign up for the first qualifier.

Take a day or two off from the game, seriously. When I’m playing really poorly it’s best to just take a break and come back replenished mentally

Anyone that watches it is a jackass and gets a heater to the back
Oh yeah give em a free base runner. That’ll teach em
Good thing u were able to overcome your huge internet disadvantage and put up a good inning.
@DoUevenBench said in Directional for events?:
I wouldn't say directional is 'trash"...I would say it directional gives you more strategic opportunities...hitting to opposite field...going with the pitch...it had its positives and is the more realistic hitting choice. Zone you can get to any pitch...its more satisfying when squaring up. Both has its benefits...calling something trash because you may not use it is silly.
HUH? You can go to the opposite field with zone hitting the same as directional. I do it a lot. With zone hitting I can square a pitch up and take it the other way

Analog actually requires skill, directional does not. In fact the most skill based method would be analog with Zone.
Why don’t the most skilled players in the world all use analog then?
Same with how F1 eSport guys still use T-Cam instead of Cockpit Cam, if its allowed they will take the easiest way out.
I’m sure u consider strike zone view the “easiest way out” too since it’s the camera used by most competitive players. I should use fish eye and put myself at a disadvantage so I can pretend like I’m great at the game.
