Homeruns and hit power after Patch 1.06

[dacks]

I can't hit a homerun since this patch to save my life. I play the Orioles and they can mash but now I've only hit 1 in 5 games since the patch. Seems harder to drive the ball too.

Is it just me or is this a thing? Anyone else notice this? Thanks

What setting are you using for hitting? There has been some discussion already there.

No I was thinking the same thing. Happens in RTTS too

I've hit PLENTY of home runs after the patch and honestly I feel that there are too many. Heck, one game I hit 5. I'm currently 3rd in the league in homers with the Braves. If you're wondering I use Armor & Swords sliders.

I play at pretty much veteran or all star for hitting. Ir was fine before the patch, now I can't seem to get as solid of contact.

I play All Star hitting and HOF pitching. Try using The Show 15 hitting camera. This is the best camera to eye pitches IMO.

I appreciate the feedback guys, but i think you're missing the point. Maybe I'm just seeing things but it seems like hit power is somehow inherently lower now. Balls I used to square up would get wacked, now even if its in the good spot of the hitters eye it still isn't as solid.

Tell me it's just me and I'll be content.

It's hard to say with this game. It isn't based purely on user input. There are games when I'm seeing the ball and timing it perfectly, but the results are subpar. Then there are games when the pitch sequences have me off, but I get good results.


I'm at the top in homeruns (a lot of the time moving into first), but can go through stretches without getting the ball past the outfielders.

My problem after the patch isn't hitting but the CPU hitting now is terrible. I haven't given up a home run in 8 games and the most runs I've given up is 1.

What difficulty are you playing on? Even some of the classic pitching guys have moved up to HOF for a tougher challenge this year. Personally as a meter pitcher I love HOF for the fact that I have to pitch more to the corners so that I don't get hammered - it leads to more walks naturally.

If anything, my problem would be not enough singles. Seems like almost everything I square up is either gone or a fly out, with some doubles sprinkled in.

Re: Homeruns and hit power after Patch 1.06

Singles, homers and gdp's. I ground into double plays around 4 times a game. It's infuriating. There's no slider that changes it. Power is down since the patches for sure as it was needed, or at least it seems it was needed to stop the insane home runs. Although I still find the CPU can hit a ball 3 inches off the plate at 114 mph at a pretty unrealistic clip. Homers seem better though, so I'm pretty ok with it. All that said I use directional hitting so it's basically a crap shoot. Good timing on a bp fastball is a popup about 7 times a game. Horrible, but it's on me - all I have to do is switch to zone, never move the pci and watch my batting average go straight up. Hit variety becomes much more realistic and organic too.

I just wish they'd simplify the hitting sliders. It's messy right now and unnecessary. A hits and an extra base hits would really make everything easier. I haven't hit a double in about 7 games and I give up 3 per game on really suspicious contact and always when they have someone on base. I literally haven't hit a triple since first week of owning the game. They just don't exist for me or, to a lesser extent, the computer. The CPU hits one around every 7 or so games against me. I'm not sure if the power change has had a massive influence on doubles and triples, but if it's at the cost of the gross homers I'm fine with it.

Getting the best hit variety in my history of playing this series.

Simply unreal. The ball physics are off the hook. HR’s, doubles (gap and down the line) triples, bloops, bleeders, lazy singles, rocket loud singles, laser beam line drives, rising line drives over OF’s heads, sinking liners, nubbers, etc etc.

The variety of the HR’s has been amazing since patch 1.06 too boot. Bombs, line drive, wall scrappers, all kinds.

Seriously......amazing stuff this year on 17.

I seriously can never even fathom playing any previous version of this game.

Ball physics, humanity AI and quirks have totally changed this game for the better.....we got a leap this year in gameplay. I have never had more fun.....and believe me....I played all previous versions year round as well. But this...this is just on another level.
