They continually increase the randomness to offset the power/effectiveness creep of the new cards. It's why by the end of every game cycle, all the cards start feeling like they play the same regardless of attributes. Really hoping they go in another direction for next-gen because it barely feels like you're in control at times, which isn't great for a video game.
The big difference I've noticed this year is that timing now appears to be somewhat random. If you pay attention to the bat swing feedback animation, there's some really wonky disconnects (ie. feedback saying you were very early and the animation showing almost neutral). The perfect foul balls also seem to further confirm this as in your input was actually "perfect" but the game's outcome dice-roll landed on foul ball.

I think the thing that drives me absolutely insane is the close to “good” contact liner to 3B or 1B.

They actually don’t.. there were major gameplay updates in the fall last year. There also have been “small updates” that actually drastically change the hitting. (Patch 1.13 of mlb 19)

Also really weird when I hit perfect perfect foul balls immediately it will change it to just late. Has anyone else seen this happen? -
They turned on their Atlanta Braves slider, hit the ball hard at everyone for outs, weird base running mechanics and bullpens blowing leads...
