Power Outage?

[El_MaYiMbE]

Not the same issue, but here he is something else that seems off about the feedback vs the end result.

I don’t know whether the issue is the hitting system, or the feedback system, or if I’m fundamentally just not understanding how it should work, but good timing hits just aren’t being pulled at all. This is all from just one game, a conquest game against the Yankees on rookie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45OrGJWhQAE First up this power swing from Acuna, on a hanging changeup, right down the middle. Squared up and timed well, goes to straight away center but can’t even reach the warning track. Alright, not every smashed ball should be a homer, but that really feels like it has to be pulled, a very, very long way. Oh well, these things happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbJxdOkjyeg Next up is DJ Lemaheiu, the man who this games hitting engine seems to have been built around. Good timing, squared up, limp line drive to straight away right field? Honestly felt I was late on that ball, so maybe it’s the feedback wrong on that one, but still, “good” timed balls shouldn’t be going to straight away right, if I was just late, say just late. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym2M-86583c Now to show I’m not being bitter, here’s a lovely homer with Wilson Ramos. Terrible pitch, meatball right down the middle that I crush, good timing, just a bit below the ball so not perfect. But why does it go to right center? Surely if I’ve timed that well I should be pulling it? Left center at worst. Sure, maybe the best hitters might be aiming dead centerfield, but the vast majority are looking to pull the ball for power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsQ582uHXVo High fastball to ozuna, he goes up and gets it, timed well, but to right centerfield again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwxVDTMtha4 Low fastball to Cain, timed well, says I squared it up but to be honest I’m outside the ball a bit, so should be pulling it towards the leftfielders, maybe even down the line. But nope, straight away centerfield. (not to mention the complete lack of power for an apparently “squared up” ball) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yISUpJRbcZY This time it’s Matt Chapman’s turn. Meatball, timing good, “squared up” (actually a bit outside it again), weak linedrive to right field. Looking at the feedback, you’d expect that ball to be soaring towards leftfield, maybe just under it so possibly a flyout, but it’s gone in the opposite direction? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl1SP8j1QJ0 This is probably the worst of the bunch. It’s the oppo hit machine, DJ again. This time I take a terrible swing, thinking the ball is going on the outside corner, it isn’t. Somehow, despite swinging well below and outside of the ball, with good timing, I hit a ground ball the opposite way? Look at that feedback and tell me how it ends up going where it did? Answers on a postcard. Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on, I could post 100 of these if I wanted to. Personally, I feel like I’m a little late on a fair few of them, I am struggling to adjust still after not playing in months, but the game reckons I’m timing it fine. If I swing earlier then I get a “just early” and pull the ball foul. It just seems like the timing window is off, or the players aren’t trying to pull the ball for good timing?

This illustrates nicely everything wrong with the hitting right now. No power on obvious good contact, and pushing to opposite field too much. Good post.

I've hit quite a few homeruns after I adjusted. Its definitely more difficult this year. But I hit three last game as the Yankees on legend. Voit, Hicks, Judge.

I like how it's more difficult to get home runs.

Here's a video from the replay vault of the game I just finished against the Astros in Spring Training. Out of 24 balls put into play, only 4 were to the opposite field.



I don't know if there is something within DD that is causing issues that BigOscar is experiencing, but its not universal, at least not in my experience. The spray chart in '19 feels no different than it did in '18.

I'm seeing no issues with the engine this year and have seen a lot of hit variety. Played a great game tonight and Hoskins went 4-5 with 2 homers and 2 doubles.

In the 8th inning of my 7th game (continued franchise year 2024) I hit my first HR. It was Kris Bryant and he has since homered in 3 straight games. I play on HOF with zone hitting. The only change I made was going to the MLB 15 camera angle.

[Berserker2020]

As others have said once adjusting I'm getting plenty of homeruns. Right now though I'm going through conquest playing every game on rookie so the hitting of course is easier but the first few games I didn't do much while adjusting.

I highly recommend reading TheWarmWind’s directional hitting guide, if you’re using directional of course.

I’ve had a fairly large sample size by this point and I’m debating turning human power down to 4 on HOF
