Was the Show 20 that much better?
-
I can't remember my years exactly but I think it was 19. The one with Griffey as cover art. I liked the player program much better in those. You had to recreate actual moments during ranked games. So drawing 2 walks and blasting a HR in a game with Griffey card could take you a long time. It felt more like an RPG game set in a sports world. I don't know, I just liked it. This year feels like, spam same quest over and over again to unlock card after spending stubs on cards you cannot get in packs yet.

I do think 21 is better in terms of gameplay, (Though I'm not claiming that it's good, simply better). Because foul balls and gravity balls down the middle were more annoying to me then how OP pinpoint is now.
In terms of content, tbh I'm not sure it's better. The timed stuff, no xp is certainly a drawback, though in terms of team affinity I do prefer this years
-
21 is better in almost every way especially gameplay, fielding and pitching is far better, hitting is pretty much the same. You’re forgetting about BR and the added content of that program which is fantastic
-
everyone says the same thing every year, next year when 22 comes out half way through the season theyll say 21 was better, 23, 22 was better, 24, 23 was better.
do you see the correlation here? it never gets better, its the same game, same issues.
im sorry. -
20 Was not better at all. And TA isnt 1 day to complete this year. Only TA3 was. That was just a completely different thing they did. I am sure TA4 will be back to like TA1 and 2 was.
-
21 is better than 20. That said I hate the extra innings rule but that is MLB’s fault.

I thought 20 was great outside of facing Kluber every game but 21 has its own similar issues with that.
I do think losing the XP path hurt the “grind” aspect, especially when you max out an inning. However I’m glad there weren’t 99 overalls on day one like in previous years.
They both have their pros and cons but I really think you’re just feeling burnout. At the end of the day it’s pretty much the same game and a lot of people have been playing the same game for years now.
at least you can hit kluber more than degrom
But deGrom just got here. Kulber was there from the get go.

As an FYI -- Griffey was '17.
Judge - 18; Harper - 19 and Baez was 20'.

I'm playing 20 now and strangely am getting updates for 21. Prime example, not once in the entire time I've played this game the commentators never mentioned the extra innings rule. All of the sudden I bring my reliever out and that's all they can talk about. Been playing well over 6 months and this started today.
-
I find this year to be better other than the prestige xp path missing and the insanity of having to try and hit degrom, Cabrera and likely Nolan Ryan over and over. I can’t hit the 102 to save my life. It ticks me off because I know if they had a guy that threw 95-98 I’d be ripping it. I say that because bad players spam the heat and I can’t hit it, knowing they don’t have a clue how to pitch and are being rewarded for it. I know I should go practice on legend or something but I find the practice modes boring.
