Gameplay review from a casual

I am hoping so. The beta played really well for me on HOF.

Weird, I am having the opposite experience. (Though I use Meter for pitching and don't use assist).
I’m not sure which setting I usually use. The only options are “assist” and “auto”.
I’m gonna log back into 19 to check this...

My bad, I do use assist. I got confused and thought you were talking about the throwing meter for some reason.

I've been absolutely crushing the ball and it's falling. Pitch speeds aren't ideal, but I def notice less foul balls. I'm still getting strikeouts.The only abundance of errors i've noticed was doing the Eck moments for a complete game shutout and my defense behind me sucked, failed twice because of defense lol.
Meter pitching is a game of roulette...again, perfect releases either hit their spot or they miss completely and/or hang centre cut. It's nice they made user input matter more in the hitting and fielding categories but until they actually fix pitching, a pretty important part of the sport, I'll be avoiding DD completely this year.

Interesting that your pitching experience echoes mine, albeit with meter instead of pulse.

Here's my take on things and I'll try to be as direct as possible.
Pitching: More difficult and very delayed. It wasn't like this last year but i guess that's what happens when people who play competitively influence how the game is made.
Fielding: ZERO SENSE OF URGENCY!!! The fielders stand there like kindergardeners on the t-ball field. Noone moves as fluidly as they did last year. Long story short. It needs to be fixed so people can run down fly balls regardless of their rating. Ratings have no bearing on real baseball players...stop making it seem like it does.
Batting: The new PCI is the most hokey #### I've ever seen. You've basically gimmicked it to try and give it some style and have made it exponentially harder for the casual players to come in and play. Perfect-Perfect is a joke. Apparently we've never heard of the saying if its not broke don't fix it.
As a whole I'm glad I wasted $100 on this game and an additional $100 on stubs to get nothing out of packs while people who are your pet partners are out here pulling diamonds out of every pack they open. Needless to say if this is the direction the game is going I will likely go back and play 19 cause at least then I had a chance of hitting the ball and making plays without worrying about if my guy is going to stand there picking his nose while the ball trickles by him.

Adding to fieldng....when someone tags a baserunner and they're called safe....after sliding STRAIGHT THROUGH THE TAG (NOT AROUND IT).....THERE'S A PROBLEM

Well, Glavine’s ERA is down to 6.00 after his second start, and he managed a fluke double down the line as well. There’s hope for Tom yet!
I will say, I had an early ok home run by Aaron Hicks. Sorry opponent! -

it's been that way since '18

Actually, I found pulse was significantly more forgiving last year. As I said, I won 61 Ranked games using pulse in 19. Occasionally, I switched to analog when it seemed my opponent was on everything, because I miss in different ways with it.
