Latest patch a disaster for online play

[shark547]

Pretty sure they fixed something with directional and I just needed to adjust back.

A while i started aiming to pull everything in the air. it was the only way I could get any hits or power.

So I have been struggling with pop ups last few days terribly and a lack of power.

I stopped aiming at all and things were back to the way they used to be. Scored 13 in a conquest game....I don't think I have ever done that except on rookie.

PCI is still moving all over online. I've made it a point to hold where my left thumbstick is when i swing. Most of the time it is off from where im holding it, every now and then it's way off. Don't have that issue against the cpu. Also while im at it, my second baseman (diamond Albies) paused for a moment when a ball was hit just to his right, hence he didn't get to the ball and it ended up costing me a game in RS because a run scored on that. Should've been a routine play and out of the inning. Think i need to take a break for a bit.

It's only a minor thing I've noticed since the patch but it bugs me as a fan of presentation that they removed the overlay when you hit homerun telling you who hit it and the distance it went. Just makes 0 sense to remove that from the game. Bad enough they took away any replays and challenges and other little the tv style presentations this year now they do this just making DD even more bland.

Bottom line is if a pitch is right down Broadway and you nail perfect PCI and timing 80% of what you hit is an at”em ball. Hard liner, grounder, or popl out. But nail PCI on a pitch way out the zone it’s a bomb HR or a seeing eye single. Gappers are non existent in online play. All of what I just described is stupid and not baseball

I jumped the gun. Not sure what they did, but, i just can't hit with guys I usually mash with. I think they nerfed power to some extent. If I do hit a ball to the gap it is dying out for a single.

Its nice that they fixed the pitching speed, but yes, agreed.. so many pop-ups weak nubbers in front of homeplate, getting good, solid, legitimate hits is now the issue.

I stopped playing online a while back. Saw the new patch and decided to give it a shot. DD is awful this year and this whole PCI and changes with hitting have been terrible. This game plays great offline and that is what 18 will be for me.

Well congrats SDS not only have you managed to suck the fun out of the missions this year you’ve managed to take the fun out of the game too. I appreciate the latest patch actually makes strikeouts happen but now it also feels exactly like last years game. Where you would square up pitch after pitch after pitch and just get no power behind you swings. I understand there’s a formula and not every centered ball is a HR. I’m ok with that. But the number of balls that I’ve centered that do absolutely nothing since the patch is ridiculous.

Congrats SDS you officially have me looking forward to Madden. What a disgusting sentence to say.
