So I had been a little worried about this but the Devin Williams reveal has tipped me over the edge.
By average I mean us great unwashed masses - I'm 51 years old, last year was my first year of The Show, on XBox. I didn't play any H2H until basically June (learning game plus server disaster) so I missed the "early game." Ended up as about a 720-740ish RS player with batting averages around .200, lots of 2-1 or 1-0 RS games on All-Star in Shippett almost all my runs on homers off rare mistake pitches. Stringing three singles in a row almost unthinkable.
- Everybody knows how to use pinpoint now
- Everybody knowing how to dot with Pinpoint is now combined with early game hitters with low Contact and massive platoon splits (Please, "Contact doesn't matter" people, spare me the nonsense).
- I don't think nerfing high breaking balls by making them inaccurate is enough to nerf Pinpoint and I don't think losing 1 mph off outlier (And probably putting it on fewer pitchers) will be enough either.
- Clear we are going to get some dominant LHP early with Big Unit, Dontrelle, etc. to go along with the dominant RHP; if DH isn't in the game it's hard to platoon more than three positions.
- You don't need that many dominant, easily obtainable pitchers to have them be the ones you see all the time.
- Shippett has been nerfed and will be combined with lower power numbers in the early game.
We haven't seen any individual pitch control/break numbers so maybe those are all terrible and will save us. But in the Tech Test I didn't really see any evidence that the vast majority of players with any experience at all couldn't still dot at will with Pinpoint.
