At least it’s not possible for 21 to be worst than 20

Talk about setting the bar extremely low, SDS!

*worse
Glad you used “than” right though. -
Not probable, but definitely possible.

20 was superior to 19, which was superior to 18, which didn't exist in my brain because it was so bad.

I went back and played 18 I really don’t understand how I played that game an entire year.

When you’re one of the only baseball sim games on a console. Baseball fans aren’t left with many options

I thought 19 was better than 20. Just my take. 20 is messy, in my view, because of the variations in gameplay based on the capacity for players to adjust their visual settings in the "faster," "balanced," and "sharper" settings.

Sure it is possible. SDS has had to work in multiple test environments since they are not supporting PS5, PS4 and XBOX. I think we might see some early issues that are resolved quickly via a patch. I expect the game to be better, but one thing I want to make clear is that MLB The Show IS the best baseball game options.

I agree tbh 19 was better then 20

It is absolutely possible that it can be worse.
Is it likely? I don't really know but it is definitely possible.

I agree. I enjoyed 19 more than 20 just on the pure fact that you could spray the ball around and/or hit bombs. I am more of a spray hitter so I would rather that type of game over bomb or bust.

I played 17 more than 18 that year.

20 seems more like 18 -- home run or nothing.

The amount of ridiculous outs I’ve seen in 20 I don’t understand if they do that because they pay attention to the stats too much so they nerf the reward on input? It’s gotta be that.

It's because of the variety of setups you're playing against. I played MLB the Show 20 on a first gen PS4, PS4 Pro, and PS5. First gen doesn't have the option to change video output like the Pro and the PS5. Plus, the first gen doesn't have the online speeds to keep up with the newer systems.
Once you get to Pro and PS5, you can change video output settings. Each setting impacts game play in a major way.
What happens is you're matched up with a variety of different setups. It's incredibly inconsistent to get online timing down. That's also why hit outcomes are so random as well.
I suspect it's only going to get worse for MLB the Show 21, unfortunately. Especially with cross platform game play. I imagine the game will perform better and favor those with next gen systems. The game runs at 4k 60 fps, meaning you will need at least a PS4 Pro and a capable TV to even have a shot at competing. But PS4 Pro just doesn't have the capability or power to run as fast as the PS5--I know this from running diagnostics on both systems. I suspect the Xbox Series X will be the same as the PS5.
Long story short: next gen users will have an advantage. Game play will be inconsistent throughout, in my view.

Is there an emoji of a guy pointing and laughing at a clown who has his head shoved 3 feet up a donkey's turdcutter, but when you look closer at the first guy you can tell that the laughter isn't quite enough to cover up the hopeless tears that are streaming down his face, and then when you look even closer you realize his eyes are just dead and he's got the pain of a million asinine forum posts haunting his soul, but somehow the clown who is currently inhabiting the donkey's small intestine has this self-assured smugness that only ever seems to follow around a man who has no idea what he's talking about but is all too quick to give an opinion that would make the first guy want to climb up into the donkey's colon and just die because it would be better than reading the same stupid things over and over and over and over and over?
I couldn't find that emoji but it's the one I want to use.

This has always been an option. Unless I am not understanding what you are saying.

It's only been an option in MLB the Show 20, and it's only an option for PS4 Pro and PS5. It's in the audio/visual settings of the game.

Yes, I have been using this option for years.
Here is a shot of someone in 18 with the setting. And I believe it was in 17 and 16 too. https://youtu.be/In4MFyP7jdY?t=562 -

But, either way, I do think the different settings impact game play. Each time I switch them around, the game plays very differently.
