    Lol he can be so frustrating. I strike out so much with him. But he is also 2nd in HR. And it feels so good to connect with him. He leaves no doubt. Except when he hits what seems like a high fly ball that just drifts its way out. I think can see the Boston game from some of his pop fly replays.

      Do you "feather" the stick as your fielder approaches the ball? Even if you are running full speed toward a line drive, just before he should be about to catch it, let up on the stick a little bit, like you would if you were slowing down the fielder.

        I use assisted fielding, meaning all I basically do is get the player to where the ball is. The AI gets them in position to catch it.....sometimes. And sometimes it blunders and does that.

          Assisted fielding is the same thing as manual fielding. I use it too. It is the only option besides Auto Fielding. Assisted fielding has to do with the game simply starting your fielder toward the ball.

          I am referring to the line drive misses you referenced. Even with assisted fielding you can do as i posted.

                  "Good Timing"

                  God I hate seeing those words.

                  Perfectly squared up swing, good timing = lineout or deep fly out

                  Welcome to RNG.

                    Have you ever had a perfectly squared up swing, good timing go for a hit?

                      Yep, usually home runs or singles. To get anything in the gaps or out on the corners, I usually have to do just late or just early. It's just so RNG based. I hate that, man.

                        But perfectly squared and good timing shouldn’t always equate to a hit or homerun.

                        It happens in real life a guy will square it up and hit it right at someone or fly out or something other than a hit.

                          same as IRL, good timing doesnt equate to hit. just like early or late, as in IRL, doesnt equate to an out.

                            I made this point in the wishlist thread, and that's for a more in-depth hitting system with customizable swing timings and batting strategies to implement.

                            Swing timing seems to be consistent with the bat's location. Which, isn't good at all.

                            Say it's a 2-4 game and you're trailing in the bottom of the 8th with 2 outs. You need a gapper.

                            The game's set "Good Swing Timing" squares up the ball to be driven wherever it deems it to go. That's not okay, that's RNG.

                            However, customizing the "Good Swing Timing" area to just a little early or late to get in the gap but squared up to get the most out of it, is necessary. Especially for zone hitting.

                            It also equates to more reward, and pressure, on the player.

                            The current system, honestly, just takes the game out of the hands of the player.

                            I need to be able to tell my player "Hey, you need to square the ball of just a bit earlier to try and get it into the gap." Meaning I need to be able to customize the swing timing to fit the situation.

                              I’m just going to say that imo, hitting is fine.

                              I’ll leave it at that.

                                The system is fine, I'd just like it to be more in depth and involve more strategy to be able to tune your swing to a certain situation.

                                Right now, it's really just square up the ball to the best of your ability, swing, and hope RNG gives you a good result.
