Re: Too many HR's?

I've hit nine homers in 10 games (three in my last game). I've given up 12. Most of my homers have just gotten over the fence. I've only had a few no-doubters and none have gone absurd distances.

All-Star/Timing hitting and All-Star/Classic pitching. I slow the game down, so I've got pitch speeds, fielder speeds, baserunner speeds and fielder arm strengths at 0, but all other sliders are the default 5.

So far I've played at Citi Field, PNC Park, Marlins Park and SunTrust. I'd have to go back and look at box scores to see the breakdown of homers hit at each park.

And this is from a new season in season mode started on 17, not a carryover.

Switch between zone and timing. Zone is preferred, but timing helps slow down the moon shots. Btw great point on camera perspective, that may be the floating hits to center. I'll switch it up and report back.

Do you happen to have the wind results from the game log? Do you play PS4 Pro/OG? Boost mode? QC?

I think for whatever reason possibly larger pci or sweetspot zone is part of the issue.

I think that may be why I'm not seeing any bombs of outrageous distance. I'm playing analog. That said I'm not giving up any of ridiculous distance either. My home run pace isn't out of whack but they do seem to come in spurts.

I do also have wind turned down to 2.

Which camera angle are you using for fielding?

I don't have this issue. I think I'm just terrible at hitting. I have lack of hitting and lack of home runs.

Out of curiosity:

What batting level are you on?
What batting interface are you using?
Any slider adjustments?
Are you playing a carryover save?

Please know I'm asking because I'm not seeing it either and I'm curious if there are any similarities between our settings.

This is interesting. What if the pitch speed slider isn't only a visual difference? What if it affects the physics engine ball speed too? That would mean setting the pitch speed slider to 0 would help curb those unrealistic HR distances because the hit exit velocities would be lower..

Re: Too many HR's?

I've only played a few Franchise games, but near every run has come from a Home Run. Some of them have seemed legit(I have crushed a few that were down the middle with Bautista) but some have been ridiculous(Hit 2 no doubt oppo Homers with Russel Martin that were on the outside edge.that landed in the upper deck.

Nearly every homer hit against me have been pitches on the outer edge that were pulled and crushed which is absolutely broken imo.
