    DD H2H vs Online Vs. which is more realistic?

    I just recently switched from DD H2H to Online vs games and I've noticed a huge change. I have anout a 66% Win% in DD H2H and I went on a 22 game winning streak (all with the Blue Jays) immediatly after switching to online vs. Here are my observations.

    1. Online vs is a much more realistic simulation of baseball. Players aren't throwing junk every single pitch hoping you swing at it. With guess pitch on it's much easier to wait for your pitch and punish pitchers for falling into patterns, while in DD you simply get in betweeen on too many swings and it results in an unrealistic amount of groundouts to the catcher and strike outs.

    2. In online versus the best player usually wins no matter what, in a 9 inning game there is plenty of time for the player with the greater skill level to execute his dominance, while in DD H2H it seems to come down to player ratings and or AI generated mistakes

    3. Guess pitch allows for more realistic games. Let's face it, if we had the hand-eye coordination to hit a major league pitch we would be playing the real game not MLB the Show 16. Nobody is a great hitter with guess pitch turned off. It's a battle of who can cheese out a few runs and who can cheese out a few extra outs. That's what DD comes down to. Great players end up batting under .230, pitchers don't throw strikes unless forced too.

    All in all online vs is a much better challange than DD, I know the game wants you to play DD because that's where the money is at but online vs is a far greater baroometer of your skill level

    Having guess pitch on will certainly raise your batting average, but i dont see how using guess pitch is more "realistic".

      Guess pitch gives hitting a much more relaistic feel, it turns batting into a much more strategic cat and mouse game as opposed to a guess/reward game

        maybe I am the only one who does this (sarcasm) but doesn't most good MLB the Show players "Guess pitch" in DD as well. I know for one I sit in zones waiting for Fastballs or curve balls, depending on count and situation. I would say that is more realistic then the game telling you exactly what pitch is being thrown? Since you know MLB players sit in certain zones and look for certain pitches without the pitcher telling him he is throwing a fastball low and away.

          lol ya it's very realistic to be tipped off on exactly where the pitch is going to be.

          Baseball players just have to guess high fastball every at bat, and they will be notified every time the pitcher throws one before he even starts his delivery.

          Playing guess pitch is fun sometimes, but not because it's more realistic.
