What game are you playing?

There are no homeruns in Franchise because they're all in Diamond Dynasty.

Re: Lack of home runs is infuriating

It is weird for me because for the first week I hit so many home runs. Didn't matter what mode I was hitting bombs. Then like since Friday I haven't able to make good contact on anything. Regardless of what my timing and aim is it seems like it is a soft liner or slow roller every time. This is after a whole week of hard contact and I haven't changed a thing.

Im in the same boat. First few days I was hitting bombs, now everything is a pop out or weak grounder regardless of good timing.

Same here. Started off hot in DD and Franchise along with RTTS, now I can't even make contact without a measly fly ball or weak grounder, even when timed correctly.

It might not be just bad streaks. It could be weather related for those of us who are playing early season games in the month of April. With the "MLB The Show" game using more realistic ball physics that also factoring in the game time temperatures (especially the night games). The colder the temperatures means the air would be more dense and the harder the balls would need to be hit for them to leave the park. Not sure how much air density has been factored into the mathematics used in the game, but this could be a factor if it is.

Re: Lack of home runs is infuriating

Pretty sure the cold spells the posts above are referring to happen every year. I've been playing vs CPU for some team epics and I'll have games where i can barely get hits, let alone score.....then randomly I'll break out with a 14-2 type game.

I've also noticed that i have a harder time against the lower ranked "common" pitchers than I do against the better pitchers in the league. I put up 10+ runs vs Aaron Sanchez, Greinke (twice), Archer, Cobb, Wainright etc....but Chad Green (63 overall) shut me out once and the second game, i won 1-0.

Re: Lack of home runs is infuriating

I'm seeing a pretty good balance. My first game I scored 4 runs, on a pair of 2 run homers by Sanchez and Headley. Then my next game I scored 7 runs, and only had one solo homer. I'm with everyone else who is saying change the cam to MLB 16. I can't do anything on fish eye.

What settings are you on? I might want to test them out

I'm actually batting on default Legend (I've tinkered with the settings by taking the power all the way down to 1). That sounds daunting but the Legend feels like HOF from previous years to me. I think jeffy777 gave you some great advice. A good camera angle is just as important as good settings.

Re: Lack of home runs is infuriating

I'm seeing a good balance. I did play one the other day where the first 6 runs came via the solo shot. That was pretty fun actually. Usually though, if I'm playing on a decent difficulty, I'll hit several and the AI will also.
