    Has something changed in hitting?

    Hey everyone,

    Been playing since launch and was really enjoying it...until this weekend.

    I can't hit anymore - Over 5 games in my franchise I only scored 4 runs made up of 3 solo HR and a sac fly. I'm not striking out a lot and am making same good contact with the ball but everything is an at'em ball.

    Anyone else experience a noticeable difference in hitting recently?

    Nothing different in my experience post patch vs pre patch

    Likely just a bad 5 game stretch. I’m sure it will turn in your favor at some point

      Something definitely has changed.

        Nothing seems to have changed for me. I'm not seeing any difference.

          Raise your contact slider if you need. But no, nothing was changed with hitting in a patch.

            Game plays exactly the same. Nothing has changed.

              I’ve noticed that as well, not just for me but the cpu as well. I was seeing a lot of ground ball hits pre patch and now i barely see any, but I haven’t played enough before or after the patch to definitively say whether or not it’s just a run of bad luck

                I hope you're right. I was loving the hit variability early on.

                  I've noticed a lack of ground balls as well. The few grounders are always lazy grounders right at infielders.

                  Hit variability seems to have been replaced with oppo foul balls caught right before the wall and fly balls to CF.

                    Totally agree with this. Something has changed. Prior to the patch I was hitting the ball fine now it just doesn’t go anywhere. 100+ power guys hitting perfect/perfect shots that are routine fly outs. It’s like hitting a water-logged softball. I play a lot of games vs. CPU on Rookie vs. Rockies at Coors Field to grind PXP. Was scoring 12-15 runs a game (down from 20+ last year BTW) and now I get 6-8. If I hit one HR a game it’s a miracle.

                    Something has happened. I’m so glad this was brought up. Been driving me crazy for the last two days.

                      Nothing has changed. Franchise has hot streaks, cold streaks, and slumps included by design. You’ll lose 5 or 6 in a row, and then score 18 in a game out of nowhere. I’ve never done a franchise that I haven’t lost 5 in a row a few different times through the season.

                        I been hitting bad in my past few games but I don’t think it’s from the game update. I’m not good at playing this game but I have learned over the years that some games I hit really well (scoring close to 10 runs a game) and other games I can barely score a run

                          I just knocked Logan Webb out of the game with with 5 runs, 9 hits in 4 innings and I haven't touched a setting or a slider in a long time. So the hitting seems fine to me. You're probably just seeing the ebbs and flows of how the game is designed. No need to change anything.

                            Funny how this works. Prior to this most recent patch the CPU was so weak, non competitive, my hitting was foul ball x 6, 7, 8…K. Foul ball outs. It was so predictable I almost gave up. Reported it to SDS. Patch was released and SHAZAM I got my butt kicked. Far less foul balls from me, balls put in play, etc., etc. Game is amazing now.

                            Now the guys who could hit BEFORE the patch are experiencing what I experienced before the patch and I’m not experiencing now.

                            Go figure.

                              Nope…I just suck right now. My left thumb to eye coordination is off. I won the World Series in ‘22 with the Rockies on Hall of Fame difficulty in Franchise. I’ll be back to beast mode soon!
