Is it similar to how some people like slow pitch softball vs real baseball?
Really want to go after the BR rewards, but I don’t feel like hitting 25 mph fastballs with a tennis racket.

Pretty annoying because I’d like to earn the BR rewards, but I don’t feel like hitting 40 mph fastballs with a tennis racket.
At least they raised the pitch speeds from 25 to 40 after your initial whining.

That's nearly doubled the speed! How are so many of the AS-level losers going to be able to hit that kind of speed? Wouldn't that almost be like hitting on HOF or Legend?

still an equal playing field... your in the minority though.. most people would rather play games that are high scoring and close as opposed to 1-0 games where each team struggles to get 1 hit

For some of us, it's more fun. You're great at the game, congrats, but you're not the only type of player that likes to play.
I’m not really trying to insult anyone…not really that good either. I just don’t like playing easier versions of things.
I get where you're coming from but its difficult to balance realism vs fun in a lot of sports games because the player base is usually super segmented.
You have the hardcore players that get their "fun" from how realistic the game is. Then you have the not as hardcore player base that may love the sport but just want a fun experience. Too much realism can bring down the fun factor at times.
It's a difficult thing to balance as a developer

I’d be all for all-star type of gameplay if they just went with that across the board. I think all star type pci and timing windows with legend pitch speeds would be fun.

I don’t like BR or Events that much but I prefer to play RS on all star to the point I go back down and just go for 40. I don’t like playing 2-1 games with 35 Ks and 4 hits a game. It’s weird right.
Also for not wanting to be insulting to non WS players you sure did go out of your way to phrase the OP as pretty much an insult.

Once you get used to HOF and legend you hit a lot better.

Dropping down to all-star once you are used to legend is really nice…so easy to hit, but it takes a while to adjust when you go back up to legend.

Maybe you do. Believe it or not I play almost all all star in RS and 4 out of 5 games I’ll strike out my opponent 15+ times and hold them at like 4-5 hits. Not very many people are really that good at this game.

There's a reason most things are on all star.
I'll take "That is where the majority of players are" for $200 Alex

Really depends on what day and the opponent. I love HOF when it works but there are a lot of times I physically can't read or react to the ball. I have been to the WS all 4 seasons. I have to wait until a day I can read and react to pitches to make a WS run. I can't imagine most all star players trying to play HOF.

Are you a PS transplant who went to Xbox? Or is this your first year playing? First and foremost you don’t have to go flawless anymore, secondly allstar is the difficulty most of the player base plays on. As for your saying softball over baseball statement, is IRL if I throw 100 in high school, if I’m drafted it doesn’t get faster when I’m in the minors or make the mlb team. This community has ask for universal pitch speeds for years, but it won’t happen because SDS would lose to much business

I feel like this is clearly an "I'm too good for all star" post. Zzzzzzzz
More like I’m used to playing on legend and don’t want to play 20-30 BR games to get the rewards and get worse at the game.

I usually am on Xbox but have in the past purchased a PS4 to play MLB. I think I played like 15,16,17 and part of 18 then didn’t have a PS4 for a couple years.

Why don’t people actually just play in the MLB? Why play a video game?

Actually the player base is super concentrated... towards the middle. Not the bottom, not the top, the middle which is where AS lies. Go figure

You should be alright with that 240z monitor lulz
