Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

Show me where I said to have no ratings. I clearly said scrap the portion that makes it hilariously unrealistic.

Something is wrong when Ryan Howard consistantly hits .300+ in a franchise..The PCI system is flawed in a lot of areas.

As I've mentioned before, I love the current ratings system, and I love the PCI (now that I get how/why it works).

But, Shakedowncapo does make one valid point.

Knight, I'm curious to get your feedback on this too, because you seem to put things in a way that I really understand...

Am I the only one that thinks something within the power rating can inflate a player's batting average? It's not "ridiculous" by any means, so I don't want any of you to misunderstand what I'm saying.

Hitting .300 just seems easier with a low contact/high power guy, than it is with a high contact/low power guy.

No, this isn't scientific...And my stats, all in all, are very balanced and realistic looking. I just think this is something that could be looked at in the future.

I guess it just seems that high power guys have a leg up in the singles department. Obviously, a hard hit ball is more likely to get through the infield. But, nonetheless, I think the factors that determine batting average could get a tweaking.

It's no real biggy, though. Just an observation...

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

Saying "best to date" is purely subjective(PYS hitting system easily trumps it, see how easy I can do that?). The only thing we agree on is the actual physics(the way is bounces and plays off grass/turf) of the ball are better in The Show.

System A: A hitting system solely based off ratings and roll of the computer logic dice. A system where one player could be looking up and and the pitch be down and still smack it out of the park on higher difficulties just because his ratings say he can. In simpler terms, unrealistic and flawed. The SYSTEM THAT DETERMINES THE OUTCOME.

System B: A hitting system where you're given an actual bat reticule(that varies in size depending on the hitter). A system where if you were to hit the same pitch 100 times in the same spot, at the same time, you would get the same result each time...Just because that's how the game of baseball works. Its not like a certain game where PERFECT/PERFECT = Infield Fly; giving you no information as to why you got under it (because its a flawed computer hitting logic deciding that game).

Give me the game that lets me dicate the result(s) due to my actual skill against certain pitchers. Not some over-inflated ratings logic that has me hitting 75 HRs in my 7th year of RTTS.

In short, PYS's hitting outclasses The Shows and it isn't even close. Some people need to stick to what they know best....Like MOM mode.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

I think the arguments of how it doesn't matter where you swing on The Show tend to be grossly overexaggerated. I can almost guarantee that if I'm looking for a fastball up and it's a breaking ball, I'm beating it into the ground. Same way for looking down and getting one up in the zone, popup or fly ball.

Perfect/Perfect doesn't guarantee a HR, nor should it. It only means you made solid contact. Likewise, a batter can, in their minds, "miss" a pitch and still hit it hard as well - even hit it out on occasion. It shouldn't happen all the time, but it doesn't on The Show [unless you're an overexaggerate(r)]. (Did I just make up a word?)

[Shakedowncapo]

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

I think everyone here understands PERFECT/PERFECT shouldn't always equal a HR...But like I said, it sometime turns into a weak infield fly, which is just ridiculous. There should be three results for that scenario and weak pop fly isn't one of them.

Okay Shake...you're awesome and correct.
How can I argue with you?
Enjoy PSY and hitting homers with...Sadah........oh he retired.....sorry....I mean Kevin Mit...no he retired too....ah..you know those guys.

I'm not so sure "everyone" does.

I think everyone here understands PERFECT/PERFECT shouldn't always equal a HR.

Agreed, Playing real baseball if square it up "PERFECT/PERFECT" (assuming im pretty sure i know what youre saying with the game) the ball in real life will be executed with brutal force, a line out ok that'll happen a frozen rope that gets snagged thats rough too, but the pop ups sometimes are a bit much in MLB,

totally agree.

if you hit the ball with perfect timing and perfect location, there is no way you should get a pop up. it's not possible. you can still hit outs, but it should never be a weak pop up or grounder.

I think they just need to stop telling us how we did, and let the results be evidence of that. You should not be able to check where your swing was and have text stating your timing. The only way you should be able to see if you were late or early or etc. would be to see replay and see where and how you hit ball (like in real life).

I think the response and how is recorded usually fits the way you actually hit ball in game, but it doesn't fit the text and hitters eye circle.

An argument like this only makes sense if the bat and ball were the only two factors in determining hits/outs.

Player ability (ratings), wind velocity, pitch movement (ratings), and the 8 men in the field that want nothing more than to record an out have to be considered.

A PERFECT/PERFECT, you have to agree here, is going to be different with Brett Garndner and Albert Pujols.

Their has to be an underlying variable (pitcher confidence, batter hot/cold, pitch ratings, hot cold hitters zones) to keep simply mastering the PCI from turning all players into the same person, and all games 13 hit slugfests.

I personally don't always want to be rewarded for good timing.

Real baseball generally yields 1 homerun, 2 doubles, and 9 hits per team per game. It seems to me that some video game enthusiasts either (a.) don't know this, or (b.) don't care to experience this.

This is completely okay. But for those of us that like to re-create real to life averages, I'd prefer SCEA keeps things close to where they're currently at.

I love seeing Nick Swisher hit .250 for me! Yeah, it's frustrating sometimes when I got the pitch I was looking for, but that's baseball!...

Regardless of what the timing says.

I'm a Yankees fan. I couldn't tell you how often after a real life game, when Susan Waldman interviews a struggling hitter and the player says something similar to:

"Kevin Long and I have spent extra time in the cage, and we feel like my swing is good, and that I'm picking up the ball well. We know eventually, if I continue doing what I'm doing, those balls are gonna get through."

The Show replicates this extraordinarily well, in my opinion. Not all, heck; not even most well hit balls are hits.

And during a real life game, how many pop ups to the infield is there?

In the games I watch: A ton.

I love arguments about how ratings do/don't work properly.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

How about Online actually working correctly for once. Disgrace how bad the online has always been.

Be more specific cause I play against my brother online a lot and it's always a great experience.

Re: What do you suspect will B changed in '11?

System B: A hitting system where you're given an actual bat reticule(that varies in size depending on the hitter). A system where if you were to hit the same pitch 100 times in the same spot, at the same time, you would get the same result each time...Just because that's how the game of baseball works.

In short, PYS's hitting outclasses The Shows and it isn't even close. Some people need to stick to what they know best....Like MOM mode.

I like PYS's hitting style, but what I put in bold is just not how the game of baseball works, man. Physics isn't like that when one rounded object ( the bat ) hits another round object ( the ball ).
