It's very misleading, especially for younger players which play nothing but DD, to get a message which sometimes basically tell you "you're doing just perfect but i don't reward you ( with a hit )". If you don't have a basic knowledge of baseball you feel frustrated most of the time: what ?! I get a perfect-perfect and i'm out ?! Yes, that's baseball. The whole idea of perfect-perfect is just counter-intuitive, because sometimes in baseball is better to be late on a ball or swing early. And it is a sport mostly about failure in which you simply can't be perfect even if you're doing everything right. You have patience, you have method, discipline, the right approach at the plate and you will be rewarded. Three times out of ten. Actually Reddit is literally flooded with players ( mostly DD players ) which crying about perfect-perfect turned to be outs while hitting this year is probably the best i ever see in The Show history. There's great hitting variety, more action on bases, more defence, HRs feel more rewarding. Just more baseball. If you love baseball as many here in OS. And still that message "perfect-perfect" feel wrong to my eyes. It is like a dopamine-slotmachine which doesn't give you a candy every time you hit a jakepot. Doesn't make sense ? I don't know, but for sure players are getting angry and frustrated. Because you can write "perfect" and "failure" in the same sentence.

I think this is a fair observation. I mean i know the game of baseball pretty well. I know I can hit a ball perfectly, but perfectly at many various angles, which can make that perfectly hit ball go in any variety of different areas on the diamond, anywhere from a HR to an out.
But if I dont know the game that well, maybe I dont realize that perfect perfect is still not a guarantee of anything.
