Frustrated with ranked season play

[mer1in20]

Couple thoughts i have on ranked season play but it applies to BR and Events.

1. Too many home runs. Its seriously ridiculous.

2. Too many tools playing. Yesterday i played a guy who was sending me messages all game with disparaging remarks. That one takes the cake but ive had too many to count.

3. I really dont understand the hitting mechanics online. Guys im playing against can hit just about every pitch i throw no matter where it is, out of the park. I get green PCI, good swing, and either miss the ball completely, foul ball, or weak pop out. This is the most frustrating part.

4. I hover around 600-650. Once i get to 640ish, i cant win a game. Today, i was at 652 and lost five games in a row To guys who all they did was hit home runs with yellow swings and ball not near the pci.

Playing people online just isnt fun. Im doing to to try to get the wins for the dynasty program and its horrible.

1. I mean sure, its nothing like it used to be. The physics and sliders are set for the typical player in mind, so if you have people matched up who are poor pitchers and quality hitters you're going to get hard hit balls.

2. That sucks that happened to you. You can block communication. Other than that I've only dealt with players who messed around with practicing swinging/using R2 every pitch while batting and taking forever to pitch. But that was in the way lower levels, haven't had any problems up around WS.

3. The game doesn't have it out for you and isn't giving your opponent an unfair advantage. There is a big range of talents when it comes to hitting, some dudes are just really good.

4. BTW the PCI for your opponent doesn't move on your screen. So it won't look like they're moving it when they obviously are. You're going to go through tough spells, just keep grinding and improve your skills. A big part of hitting is recognizing pitches, reaction time, and PCI placement. Those take a really long time to develop, you just have to grind out hours at the plate to hone the skills.

You can see their pci after the pitch if you have pitch feedback on. I can tell they are all pretty much using directional hitting. Anything out in the zone with directional hitting is a hard hit ball somewhere. Its ridiculous.

Also, is anyone wlse having the issue where where someone will hit a line drive about a foot above your infielders head and they dont move, jump, or even attempt to make a play. Ive seen it on at least 10 occasions now. Gotta be some type of problem they can fix.

Re: Frustrated with ranked season play

I had an opponent sending negative messages while we were playing also. I wonder if its the same guy. I blocked him from communication. Had another opponent that was pausing his connection while I was pitching. I got to the wild card division but I'm not going to try and make it to the world series. Not worth the hassle to deal with these die hards.

Funny enough, as you move up the rankings your opponents actually are increasingly more enjoyable to play. Lots of the guys that play WS are cool and don't try to cheat the game, they're just good. If you can break through the 700-800 level your online experience will improve drastically (at least in my experience).

I've met a lot of cool guys on this game, but I agree with what you're saying. A lot of the people in the lower tiers are just trolls and it does make playing the game online less appealing.

I mean, I just attributed most of it to the netcode being bad. But then again, I'm only in the low 500s(But I've won all but one game)

No one has pitch feedback off, no one. It just shows the pci in the middle every single time for everyone. You have not been able to see your opponents swing location for years.

Re: Frustrated with ranked season play

The hitting everything you pitch one is so damn frustrating and annoying. They swing at every pitch except for pitch outs or the one's too far inside that even if they did swing the cpu forces them to get out of the way instead. Every at bat is a 15 pitch at bat. Meanwhile there's people throwing meatballs and every hit with good timing and the pci perfectly all over it go down fielder's throats on line drives to the outfield or deep fly balls to the warning track.

The other thing that frustrates me is the amount of check swings this year. I've honestly only seen one strike called after the plate umpire signals to the base umpire.
