The hitting in this game is off...

Late.... home run.... early.... home run... right on time.... miss the ball completely. Been playing he show for years so confused. The hitting feels so mechanical not organic at all

Or the game has evolved to where more than timing is important. Also if you're experiencing too many HR's try lowering power.

The timing "good" and still missing or not making solid contact also imitates how you can swing through a pitch in real life or you can "just miss it" and you pop it up... if anything it makes it more realistic in my opinion.

It's kinda why I never bother with Madden online or with any of their patches. People say they want realism but I honestly don't think they understand the realism they want.

The Show: I was sitting on the fastball in the middle and I just popped it up. Well guess what that happens 70% of the time to the greatest to ever play the game.

Madden: He was wide open and I hit the button perfect why did my QB miss the throw? Or why did he drop the pass? How about because it happens all the time.

I'm sorry if I come off wrong towards these people but they moan for realism and then bash the game until they patch it out.

It's like you can't predict what happens when a sphere hits a cylinder.

No. This is completely wrong.

If an MLB hitter is sitting on a pitch and he gets it, he aint missing it 70% of the time lol.

No one said they missed it. But there not getting hits as much as everyone thinks.

I'm saying he's not making an out 70% of the time.

Re: The hitting in this game is off...

If you are getting frustrated at the plate, then the developers have done a good job. Work the count, foul off the tough pitches, and finally get a good pitch to rip.....and you pop it up. Baseball!

Now we just need an option that lets us break the bat in half or to pound on the water cooler with it.

Explain Aroldis Chapman, Mariano Rivera, etc... Everyone knew what was coming still.... couldn't.... hit.... it.

I See what you're getting at, but I think he's actually right on this one. Good hitters probably hit high 300s-400 if they get the pitch they're looking for, and they probably hover around 200 if they're fooled...hence an average in the high 200s-300s.

Regardless a difference of at most 10% isn't going to change anything about the ridiculous complaining about not hitting those pitches 500ft.

There seems to be some misconception that hitters would do that on a pitch they're sitting on 60% of the time or higher. People just don't understand how difficult it is to square up a baseball like that. Especially if you add in that you are also slightly inclined to over-swing when you get your pitch which makes it even harder to square it up. And yes even major leaguers and HoF players over-swing on them fat pitches occasionally.

I'm just going off my experiences as a minor league pitcher. We held bullpen sessions where the hitters knew what was coming and were sitting on it. You would be crazy surprised at the swing and misses let alone the balls that wouldn't have been base hits.

In terms of good hitters, 77 hitters in the MLB last season hit over .270 ... I still believe that not making perfect contact on a ball even if you know its coming is more probable than not.

Good investigative reporting there MLamm lol. Another thing to keep in mind here is it's a lot more common/easier to sit on something in the Show as opposed to actually batting.

I can sit curve in the Show and still get my bat on high 90s heaters, even though I play with the pitch speeds on 10. Also taking the risk of coming up empty on the game is a lot easier than taking that risk in the majors.
