Too many Double plays?

Re: Too many Double plays?

It would be good to include the hitting system you use.

While we (and the Devs) would want every hitting system (analog, zone, etc...) to produce the identical results, the reality is that that is easier said than done. Every hitting system works... differently, obviously, and there is always going to be small deviations in the type of contact produced. This is primarily because each system factors in different levels of user input.

I use Zone hitting and I've never had a problem with double plays.

Re: Too many Double plays?

Yeah overall I find it far too easy to avoid grounders in this game, but it took some getting used to. Firstly, certain pitchers have an ungodly command of the lower edge of the strike zone. They can and will throw multiple different pitches along the edge one right after the other with no fear even when the count is 2-0. But the good news is, if you encounter such a pitcher, in DP situations particularly, just assume they are going to pitch you low, use zone hitting and scoop the ball. It's almost too easy; certain pitchers are far less effective than they are in RL because the AI tries to be TOO good. Also much like it's way too easy for pitchers to nail low strikes, it's way too easy to make solid contact on low balls.
