Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

Re: Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

In the small sample I have played, hitting is fine the game plays great I just hope the audio gets adjusted back to the out-of-the-box sounds we had. They were great. Again an unintended consequence of the update.

It's certainly not the first time a bug crops up from the patch.

I agree, hitting may be off a tad but the sound needs to get back to what it was. That has always been an issue with me until this year, for now, back to no volume.

The sound off the bat is definitely altering my perception and making it feel like the ball isn't being hit well, but at the same time I'm pretty sure it also is true. I'm getting a similar-ish amount of hits, but they are generally really weakly hit, not the solidly heat line drives of before the patch and the homeruns are definitely down (not a bad thing). I'm hitting a ton of weak singles, barely any doubles and a lot less homers. Some balls are still nicely hit, but it seems a lot less frequent and the average hit is pretty weak.

Its hard to say because of how unpleasant the sound is, but it doesn't feel right at all anymore.

This is exactly what I am feeling playing the game now.

Re: Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

Anyone else seeing a seriously lack of non-homer extra base hits since the patch? I'm talking no sliders as I'm playing DD, but I'm hitting nothing but singles or home runs. Line drives over the short stop or 2B that would previously have been going to the wall now seem to not have the power to go anywhere and are routinely getting cut off by the outfielders.

I've hit a few doubles that cleared the outfielders, or went right down the line, but I'm really struggling to get line drives to beat the outfielders, the ball just seems to die off the bat

EDIT- Can possibly scratch this to be honest, I seem to have turned it around now and have started hitting more gapper doubles. Must have just been in one of those streaks

With the Epics that require you to hit doubles that were already a pain to complete, this is not encouraging.

I'm still hitting some, but just mainly on the fly. It could also be entirely in my head, once you start to think something is happening your mind starts to just see it whether it's there or not.

I am seeing just as many doubles and triples as before, though I am using sliders.

Re: Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

I played a couple franchise games and a few RttS games yesterday and I noticed basically no difference in power numbers and hitting. Though, if anything, the CPU seemed to hit me harder than before the patch. I use a modified version of Mike Lowe's sliders w/classic pitching. Small sample size, but I'm very happy with how the game played yesterday. I'll get a couple more games in this evening.

Re: Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

I cannot score this year and am about to give up. Playing since 08, it's not like I cannot hit, I am sick of Great contact, Green PI, line drives right at people at an unrealistic rate.

Re: Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

Guys,this thread is interesting but it gets confusing a bit because we don't know what settings/difficulty you're using.

May I just suggest something in your post like (4,3,AS) for power, solid hits and difficulty level? It would help to calibrate everything.

Re: Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

I've got a 5ish game sample size (small I know) of online play, and I'm still seeing too many oppo HR's on balls down and in with the PCI not even covering the ball hardly. From what I've seen this is still an issue for DD and online play.

Re: Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

Pre patch: easily racked up 15-20 hits per game and 8-10 runs. Because I am not a power hitter, my opponent would have like like 9 hits and 9 runs. They would hit 5-6 homers easily on pitches out of the zone. There was zero incentive to have discipline.

Post patch: finally getting some low scoring games. My patience is being rewarded, though I did lose on a walk off error, but that's baseball.

All games were played in the middle tiers.

Ignore your opponent's PCI location in online play. It means absolutely nothing.

Unless you were talking about your own oppo HR's.

In manage mode offense was already so bad it's hard to tell if it is worse but it does seem tape measure home runs have been nerfed. Now if we could get an accompanying increase in hits that would be progress.

Yup! Ball velocity off the bat was turned down significantly in the patch to reduce homeruns. This in turn took away extra base hits, and even singles through the IF.

I think raising power for both cpu and human is a good start to fix this

Re: Did SCEA ruin hitting by accident with latest patch?

The hitting was fine for me before, and it's fine now. I don't see what everybody is complaining about, and I've been trying.
