Feeling the bias toward power pitching
I am now playing in 70s Ego, around 73-75.
Here my pitching is constantly getting punished. It seems like the CPU can basically zero in on exact pitching spots with power swing level in the 90's regardless of where the pitch lands. This has resulted in lots of high scoring games and a lot of fatigue.
One thing I noticed is that as soon as I utilize power pitching, the CPU have no clue how to deal with it. It doesn't matter how accurate the pitches are, good, decent, wild, they keep fouling and striking out. I could be throwing a change up on wild pitch straight down the plate and the batters have harder time dealing with it than a 100mph fastball in the corner of the plate.
This makes it feel like the game forces me to use power pitching, not by directing me to mastering the power pitching but simply by making the batters dumber against power pitches. Is this how the game was designed or is it just me?
Kinda losing interest at this point. Anything below 70 I would be crushing too badly. Anything above 70 becomes a crazy scoring fest where I am constantly giving up 10 runs.
