I agree 100%...Other than the servers & the timer glitch the gameplay is the best EVER.

What timer glitch?
-
The gameplay is good, like everyone has mentioned, just the ability to get on and actually play sucks. Lol.
-
I’m very cautiously optimistic. I haven’t played online much, so there’s that, but when I did, I found myself enjoying it.
Overall, I’ve been having mostly a lot of fun, so let’s hope the server situation gets worked out and the gameplay doesn’t get tweaked to death.

When my opponent lets the clock run out it pops up saying the timer has expired would you can take the win or continue to wait...But there is only one option - The X button which just adds another minute on the timer. There is no option to just take the win. It’s insane but as of right now there is no option for just taking the win. I’ve filed several tickets & heard nothing.

I agree. I'm sure they will do their normal thing and start listening to all the whiners in these forums and start screwing with stuff and make it worse. At least that's how it's been the past 2 years.

Yikes, I haven't played online yet because of the servers so I had no idea this existed. I'm sure they'll fix it though, this sounds ridiculous.

Apart from the server shenanigans, I'm enjoying the game. Pitching improved, check swings are pretty much nonexistent, animations improved and hitting feels balanced. Still a bit cautious because it's only been a week, but I'm already enjoying it more than I ever enjoyed 20 at any point.
I agree that all of these are nearly perfect after the last few years a small patch will lead to another and another and pretty soon there will be problems.

The server issues are awful but I would also add in the absolute garbage state that My Ballplayer and RTTS is at the moment.
I don't really care about either My Ballplayer or RTTS, so I left that out. But if you care about those things, I understand the frustration.
Yeah I dont usually touch RTTS, and the My Ballplayer I kinda tried to start but dont understand it. And I figured there are enough other cards to make up for it. I have too many cards to use already to worry about that guy.

I love the game where it is at currently, besides the obvious. But once better cards start coming out I fear they screw with hitting to balance it out like they always do. And it probably wont be good.

I saw Rebel post a screenshot of his 65 overall My Ballplayer with 125 contact both sides, 110ish power both sides and elite defense at SS. Might be worth investigating after all lol.

LOl, [censored]. Might be.

I wouldn’t call this an unpopular opinion. I’d call it consensus.
But then again, I’m not sure it should be. Imagine a new car is released and everyone loves it. Amazing new features, fun to drive, beautiful, fast, efficient, something for everyone...but you can’t drive it past 7 pm on weeknights or on weekends. The engine sometimes even shuts off mid drive.

Well yeah but the server issues will be fixed at some point, at least to the point where everyone will be able to play without being disconnected every 10 minutes. The core mechanics and gameplay of the game will be there all year though, and I'm happy with the changes in those areas.

I'm on your side with that !!! plus... with like 20-25 games in the back pack I only played 1 stupid idiot who bunt cheese 6 of his 9 starters and he had only 3 hits... So yes the game is pretty good when we can play it ! Wish you good luck this year !

I’m more fearful that could happen even before the good cards come. Right now my batting averages are exceptionally high. The reason though is starting from zero I was playing on whatever is below all star so everyone tees off. I’m also hitting well against people who don’t pitch well. The games I’ve matched up against people that mix things up and pitch better I’ve had trouble. That’s how it should be. I’m assuming many people are having this happen and after a few weeks of collecting data sds may decide hitting needs to be toned down and that seems to be when things start to go off the rails.

I hadnt even dared to play H2H games yet. Zero RS, Zero BR and I think 2 event games. Just been grinding showdowns for TA cards.

Check swings are massively broken on the PS5. Not just a little...MASSIVELY BROKEN. Sometimes I'll barely tap swing and it will be an awful follow through; other times I'll press it much harder and the batter barely goes into a swing animation. I even had two calls last night where the check swing replay information showed I'd clearly gone around, yet the first base ump said no swing.
Aside from those frequent moments, the game is legit. But check swings need work...after the server [censored].

The reason they did this is because it was literally broken last year when not a single check swing would be called for a strike. That's worse than what it is now. It seems they have trouble balancing this mechanic, but I prefer the way it is now. If you don't want to swing, just don't tap the button at all.
