MLB The Show 24 Patch #12 Adjusts Foul Ball Rate, Fixes CPU Trade Bug and More - Patch Notes

Re: MLB The Show 24 Patch #12 Adjusts Foul Ball Rate, Fixes CPU Trade Bug and More -

I use pinpoint pitching and after making the move to COMPETITIVE/dynamic difficulty, the game has been playing fantastic. Using the Cardinals I won 8 games in June and I'm about .500 in July.

I won 10 games in a row and was 10.5 games up in the NL Central on simulation/dd and PP pitching, so the move to COMP has really made pitching much tougher for me and my skill level with PP.

I forget who posted the difficulty differences between sim and comp, but it's definitely more challenging on comp vs sim. I still see injuries/errors and all that.

I agree. I put it on comp earlier today and the cpu actually gave a fight. It felt refreshing

With classic pitching? I tried comp using classic pitching with no pitching aides and found it easier to command my pitches making the cpu offense even less of a threat. Felt like the randomness of missing my spot was less prevalent which makes sense to me given the design of the competitive play style and classic pitching. This was on legend default.

No I use meter pitching

Echoing this. Check out my conversation with DonkeyJote from earlier upthread which is me trying to figure out a solution to this same issue. The TLDR is that it's most likely a case of me having too many perfect inputs per game, and there are limited ways to address that which don't involve a move to classic pitching. Competitive game style is one of those ways, as it makes it more challenging to throw perfect input pitches with the interfaces. For example the Legend Meter snaps back FAST, and on Pinpoint you have a smaller threshold that counts as "perfect" on the three components of that interface.

THIS.

I have such a wide variety of games now and I'm only 3 games up on the Cubs. I had one game where the Braves beat me 18-3 and I just beat Texas, 6-0.

I'm finally giving up homeruns to the CPU as well.

I play on Competitive via DD and have done so for years. Pitching seems just as easy, but with that said I've never used it in Franchise Mode before.

First game with it vs the Pirates, 10 K's, and a win 1-0. Scattered 8 hits and had a few double play balls.

Then, got SMACKED by the Dodgers. For some reason my screen shot didn't save. Got smoked 7-0 and gave up 15 hits. Now, to be fair I was tired LOL.. So let's see how today goes with a game or two. This could be the challenge I was looking for when I do feel like pitching now and then. Solid find!

Do we think that being on "Competitive" also changes outcomes via simulating innings or even joining "Custom Game Entries"??

I feel like I've seen more a variety of results and more variety in scenarios in my Custom Game Entries than I had prior using Simulation setting.

UGGGGHHHHH... LOL.

Just got swept by the Dodgers. 7-0, 8-4, and 4-3. Last 2 games I blew 3-1 leads. 8k's and 10k's respectfully. CPU for sure makes you pay much more on mistake pitches or even bad input pitches. Balls finding the gap instead of weakly hit, same goes for me as well it seems.

Small sample size, but seems more "competitive" lol.

I play all my games, so I can't answer that. The CPU will definitely crush mistakes and I've had to completely rethink my bullpen strategy depending on the situation.

So does Competitive affect user hitting as well?

I'm using Directional and I don't notice much of a difference honestly.. Maybe.. Maybe some more balls finding the gap that may have been weakly hit and caught. But my home run numbers are about the same.

I use timing and I've noticed I hit less homeruns, in fact I've dropped from 2nd to 7th in team HRs since switching to COMP. (the Cardinals are not a power team)

I use timing as well. Do you notice more swing and miss and higher strikeouts for your team hitting using competitive?

Yes, my strike out rate is higher on COMP as well.
