Re: JoshC1977's MLB 19 Sliders

Yeah I'm gonna play a few with your set then do the dynamic difficulty thing if nothing changes. I had no trouble last time I played on 13 and the years before that. I'm gonna older now and my eyesight is probably worse so I'm sure that's a factor. I really appreciate your suggestions. I've played well over 100 games total and hitting only felt right for a stretch of maybe 10 games prior to a patch. That was probably just coincidence.

"A few games"....see, that's my point. You keep going, "Oh, let me try this for a little bit. Oh darn, well, let me try this now. Man, that didn't work either after 2 games, I'll do this." You got to get some consistency in your settings so you can settle-in and get reps. You keep changing the environment you're hitting in instead of focusing on the important things like getting into good plate discipline habits (which you obviously don't have if you're making weak contact left and right). This will help you way more than any slider setting ever could.

That's all I have to say about that. We wish you the best of luck.

You also might have just been in a slump on Allstar last time and then when you moved up to HOF you got s couple of good games and then went in a worse slump since you were playing on HOF.

I’m on the opposite end of where you are at. It might just be the Yankees and being on a hot streak but my batting average is really high so I moved up to HOF.

So I couldn't help but report this. First inning of my first game on this set and I've got 3 runs already after my opponent scored 3 in the first. I had PCI on and I turned it to no feedback (which it says is highest reward). Could that have been part of my hitting issues all along?

I know man. I played probably 60 games initially before I ever changed anything. I'm just desperate to find the right thing I guess. Sorry if I'm frustrating you. I'm right before the All-star break on what is my 3rd restart. Hard to commit to 60 games of basically figuring it out at this point but I will if things don't improve. I've got 3 runs in the 1st inning with your set so far.

Well this should get you some confidence and you can build on this.

Everything is getting hit way harder. It had to be the PCI. It's like night and day. I've got more extra base hits through 3 years innings than I've had in my last 4 or 5 games.

You're describing the Guess Pitch options if you're talking about PCI and No Feedback (and a higher "bonus" being associated with No Feedback).

With that, I have to ask - are you using that to actually guess pitches and locations? If you aren't that's fine - it doesn't affect the hitter positively or negatively if the option's on and you're not using it, but if you are and you're guessing wrong (even getting either pitch OR location wrong, doesn't have to be both), that can definitely be negatively affecting your ability to hit.

I know Armor turns guess pitch off completely and I'm guessing Josh does as well, so if you are using it, it could definitely explain the discrepancy.

Yes guess pitch. I've had it on the entire time I've been playing the game. I was using guess pitch. Difference with it off is the strike zone box disappears once the pitch is released. It allows me to still guess the pitch but removes the visual aid of the box. It says in the description for each setting that no feedback "has the highest bonuses". So far everytime I make contact it feels crisper and harder hit. Strangely enough I'm seeing the ball better without that box there.

So having the feedback feature on after every pitch is making hitting harder?

If you're guessing pitch/location wrong (and you don't have to guess both wrong to get penalized, only one or the other), it certainly does. If you're not using guess pitch at all (by which I mean not selecting a pitch or location before the pitcher starts his motion, or by having the whole thing turned off), it shouldn't matter.

It's hard for me to give suggestions to people using it because it dramatically changes the gameplay (timing windows mostly) from what Armor/Josh are suggesting. But I'd recommend going in-game to the pause screen, selecting options/controls and strategy/strategy guide/hitting and tab to page 3 for the explanation of how guess pitch works, and why it can have a very negative effect on your hitting if you're guessing wrong.

Thanks, very informative. But im asking about the feedback feature that is on by default after every pitch. I though i read a few posts back that having it on is affecting things negativitly.

It shows your timing of your swing and swing speed after every pitch.

Here is the quote " had PCI on and I turned it to no feedback (which it says is highest reward). "

Its on by default.

No feedback is a mode inside the guess pitch. If you turn Guess Pitch on you pick if you want Quadrant, PCI, Classic, No Feedback, or off. There is where it says no feedback has the highest bonuses.

The thing that shows if you are late or early and shows the swing type and speeds has no bearing on hitting. That is just a guide if you want to use it.

But I think if you don’t guess a pitch it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t hurt or help you.

Re: JoshC1977's MLB 19 Sliders

Actually I could be wrong. I think that is where the only place you can turn the feedback off. But I think if you don’t guess a pitch it doesn’t matter.

Just checked it. Its under general. Swing/pitch info. No impact to your results just a visual aid it appears

Refering the guess pitch option. I had it on but i dont use it.

It could be an issue if you dont turn it off because there are bonuses attached to it. So basically since i wasnt using it, it was hitting me negativity each pitch .. ouch.

I didnt realize that. Thanks for mentioning it.

I would advise for everyone to check that option and turn it off. (If your not using it)
