This Game is Bad.
-
I'm sorry but I've wanted to like playing this game and the content is great... but the way it plays online is pure trash. I'm sure a lot of you guys like it if you play the way SDS wants you to play it. But the game play feels really blocky and gross. I've been playing this game for 10 years. I skipped it last year because I was extremely unimpressed with 2019. Ironically 2019 played AMAZINGLY after mlb 20 came out, it's as if they removed some coding that allowed for frequent comebacks and less line outs right at fielders.
This last game I played, and I've played SEVERAL like this, I got matched with a guy who just swung at everything. So I literally just started throwing the ball nowhere near the zone. So the CPU rewarded him. If I intentionally throw the ball up at your eyes and the ball is hit 450 feet to give your team the lead for a 3 run home run, it's really going to be difficult to take that as earned. Because it's not. Later on in the game, I had another 3 run lead... same process. And same player, Niko Goodrum. I threw a pitch that was so inside that it would've hit him, and hit it out for the come back and lead. Look, I can understand this nonsense if the ball was hung, or in the zone or whatever... but how in the world are people allowed to hit homers up as high as I can throw it? I can't even get my batting cursor that high. And these home runs always happen if the team is down and out. It never (or rarely ever) happens if said team has the lead. I regret buying this game. Waste of time and money. Every team has the same stupid [censored] players (Buxton, Ohtani, Turner, Burnes)... and even in a year with create a stadium, everyone uses the same stupid [censored] stadium. It's just a cheese fest and not fun at all. I've been great at this game for awhile, and even this year my record is fine I guess... definitely not what it was in past year. It feels very manipulated at times. Both used for and against me. There have been times I've had a comeback that seemed odd and I recognized that. Like what did I just pull that sinker ball outside and hit it way out?? okay I'll take it... I guess but I definitely didn't really square up on that. Sorry for the vent. This game was obnoxious though... dude was throwing fastballs and hanging pitches and while I did score 7 runs, most of my hits were actually right at a fielder. Meanwhile I'm literally throwing all over the place and he's allowed to hit in the gap and hit homers all game when he's down by 3? Okay.
Probably selling my ps5 soon if anyone wants to hit me up. Would rather not waste my time with this weird [censored] playing game all summer.

It's called contact hitting which is extremely broken at this point....don't bother with waiting for a response. Just play franchise and you'll be happy.

Also, if you are selling your PS5, let me know...I'll pay top dollar.

Yeah online feels VERY manipulated. Best way I can put it. And AGAIN I've been on BOTH sides of this. I don't like feeling manipulated. I'd rather win/lose without [censored] coding or whatever they're doing to make people play the game more.
Also those Buxton and Ohtani cards are dumb. You mean to tell me EVERYONE has a great batting average and 3492835897 home runs with them? Give me a [censored] break. Game is lame af.

The game has potential, and I'll give it that. But this year they completely failed at online competitive mode.

It has potential but they need to fix game play. Content is awesome. Create a stadium is cool... it's a shame I like never play in anyone else's created stadium. Everyone uses the same few [censored] parks for the cheese home runs. Gross. Let's just patch that maybe? Start there.

Those aren't perks, it's contact hitting. Especially if the PCI is bigger than the strike zone.

I have a sneaky suspicion of the real issue if you're overreacting this badly.

lol... let's hear it.
Overreaction or not... I've made my points clear in the post. The only game I even play anymore is MLB The Show. If it's going to play this poorly online, there is no use of playing anymore. I could net an easy $500 from the PS5 shrug Life goes on for you and me.

Batting Curser, would have hit him if he didn't swing.
Two very clear sings that you are either new to the game and lied about 19, have been intaking fermented sugars for over 12 hours, or...there isn't an or. That's it.

Online gameplay has always been garbage. The day it plays like it does vs cpu is the day the game will finally be great until then, it's just a coded and scripted pile of cr@p

To be fair, you'd probably play in a lot more created stadiums if it weren't so hard to get a ps5 these days. There's probably a pretty small percentage of the game's player base that even has the ability to create one.

You're an idiot. And absolutely do not know me. Move along.

Fair. The bigger point I'm trying to make is that there is many stadiums in the game to use (including create a stadium) and everyone seems to pick the same couple of stadiums for the cheese factor. It's redundant and boring.

At least you have tons of whine to go with all that cheese you speak of

‘17 was my favorite version of the show and it’s not even close. Purely my opinion.

I feel you brother. Just played a kid who bunted 4 times in a row with Lofton, Buxton, Tatis and Ohtani. It's mad annoying. I was dominating a kid with 42 Series Berrios earlier today, had 11 Ks in 4.2 and then all heck broke loose. He bunted twice in a row, succeeded then hit a perfect perfect 3 run bomb when I threw a slurve down and out of the strike zone. Its asinine. You're right in that every team has the exact same players on it, it needs to be fixed but it won't.
