@MinatoHokageOL@CoCoPowns@MLBTheShow@Topps Problem with Yordon is he’d basically the same as his live series with inside edge and a roster update. They didn’t make POTM last year in April/mayc
@kneand_ It's more his speed differentials aren't great. He needed outlier on fastball with like a 95-96 mph sinker to enforce bad contact. People will be swinging for the fastball and hit sinker out with how it currently is..
@B_Schelin So as far as I know, the check swings are just an animation that isn’t used to determine the actual call. It’s just RNG mixed with the pitcher’s K/9. There used to be plate discipline as part of it, perhaps it’s vision now
Testing out the new strike zone
They said this is essentially a visual update, that’s fine
The ball touches the zone and it’s a strike
I’ll post the overhead screenshots of it in the replies but THIS is perfect umpire accuracy.
@CamTalkinSports@thuuuuney Problem is a switch hitter with equal or slightly less stats will outperform a same side hitter. Getting jammed by inside sinkers and outside sliders don’t make your bat smaller. It’s a stupid mechanic
@B_Schelin@thuuuuney Neither should ideally... a perfectly placed slider at the bottom outside corner of the zone should be rightfully hard to hit and less rewarding when you do hit it.
@NewPapaSports@CamTalkinSports@thuuuuney Do you not see a correlation? Both are clearly defending points with realism and want the game to mirror real baseball in some aspects. I’m saying because of stupid switch hitter Meta we have a game where a worse rated switch hitter will hit better than the same side.
@thuuuuney Baseball fans understand and agree with this logic. Diamond Dynasty exclusive players who think everything should be catered to them dislike it. As a franchise/RTTS, this game is perfectly fine
