Power Outage?

[MoneyMan17]

I really think it's important to give it a few games for the home run numbers to start to appear.

Through my first four games:
Game 1: 0 home runs
Game 2: 0 home runs
Game 3: 1 home run - Stanton 8th inning
Game 4: 3 home runs - Judge 1st and 7th inning, Andujar 6th inning

The default pitch speeds are faster this year, and they said contact hitters would matter more, so once you get used to all of that the power numbers should start to even out

I've played a few games with the Braves using classic / directional on legend batting / pitching with default sliders and haven't hit a bomb yet. I've been rocked a few times though.

Just weighing in....I’m in year 2024 with my carryover franchise and have played 6 games so far and have yet to hit a HR. I play on HOF and zone hitting. I’m giving it at least 10 or so games. I’ve squared a ton up and am getting hits including several 110+ exit volocity hits. I’m thinking it’s a matter of time because I have Kris Bryant with a 95+ pwr.

Just started my franchise with the Marlins and hit 2hr's in the 1st game (Granderson and Alverez ) on All-star.I think above All-star there is going to be alot more RNG because it's still easy to make contact with the ball Legend is tuff tho. So the RNG will balance out the cartoon type numbers!

I read this thread yesterday, I played a few games on HOF directional hitting. Only change I made was pitch speeds at 7 and user timing at 4. I hit back to back HRs......twice. In the same game.

I personally think it’s good that we’re seeing a wide range of results. That’s just like real baseball in my opinion. I’m actually really happy with the his game out of the box. The only changes I’ve made are the ones I mentioned above and fielder reaction, speed, and base runner speed all at 4. And cpu timing at 3. I’ve liked it so much that I’m debating not even waiting for sliders. It plays really well.

So ironically enough I'm hitting enough home runs with my power guys at least, but the rest of my should be hits are finding fielders more times than not. I'm hoping I've just hit a bad stretch and will not have to dive into the sliders.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I've only hit one homer out of like 20 games. It wasn't a bomb either. Just a hard liner by Judge that barely snuck over the RF wall at Fenway. I don't know what's wrong with me. It wasn't an issue at all last year. This year I'm "late" a majority of the time and haven't been able to really drive anything. Most of my hits are opposite field.

I swear their is a timing/frame skipping issue this year. Same reason so many opposite field hits are happening despite good timing and good contact.
