Question for you @raesONE_PSN. Have you played any BR yet? I just started this event and I'm seeing these things an extreme amount worse than I was in BR. Like genuine night and day difference. I could be reading too much into it but seems like there may be some slider nonsense going on here

Way to many stacked teams in events, BR always plays great because it’s not full of stacked teams with high attribute player’s.

I stopped reading after you mentioned the only online you’ve done is playing event games today.
Cause none of this stuff happens in any other gameplay? You really want to go that route?

Man, I played like 4 event games and everything I squared up was a lineout. This is the first time I’m seriously considering requesting a refund to Sony.
I’m starting to become annoyed when I see hits rated from 7-10 with JL timing… Must be contact swinging all over again
Don’t bother asking. You downloaded and played it. They won’t issue you a refund.
I tried and was denied

Repeating a falsehood doesn’t make it so. I have not said a word about how good or bad I am at this game. Again, that’s the other guy.

You guys have to admit this game is playing like [censored] this year. Online is now completely unpleasant to play. I mean, it feels like SDS either straight up lied about stuff or just completely broke it. I was correct in my original assessment that when they said "Less foul balls" they meant 15 foul offs instead of 20. How guys are fouling off pitches that go completely out of the opposite batter's box is beyond me and annoying AF. They fixed R2 and now it's all people do every single game. It's like they made people extra toxic this year.

For the love of God, SDS please fix hitting!! Yes, I play on rookie/vet. Yes, I don’t play online. Yes, I use directional hitting. Don’t give me any XP nor any PXP, but let me score some friggin runs!!
I want to kick back, drink a beer or two, and relax. I’m only doing two of three right now.
Sigh….

I have not yet truth be told, but I will soon.
Edit: it's not gonna change my perspective tho. The difference in sliders is usually in hitting outcome, timing windows, PCI placement forgivingness and that sort of stuff. The ability to foul off pitch after pitch after pitch and the forcing of perfectly executed pitches in the dirt into the bottom part of the strike zone is going to be in every game mode. I'm willing to bet the house in it. MLBTS 18 and also 20 had these issues, I played those games rigorously across all games modes. It was all the same there and it's gonna be all the same here.

Patience, kick back, crack a beer and let the cpu throw pitches, never swing at the first pitch especially on vet, RNG will not be in your favour.

No different then any year at launch IMO.

Here’s why I think hitting is messed up. When I’m struggling, I strikeout alot. Not the case. Most of my outs are literally shallow flyballs to the OF. I mean, not even warning track stuff. OF doesn’t even move. And this is one good/good normal swings.
I’m getting another beer and heading to RTTS!!

I’m Mark DeRosa and welcome to the show…this is literally every year at launch you either fight through it or you go to RTTS and Franchise until they fix it.

Never tried franchise. Might be a first. My CAP is a 60 rated cheesy slugger. Guess I’ll go work on him.

If you’re doing franchise wait for Ridin Roster’s, either way, don’t give up on the game just yet, it’s usually unbalanced and a bit of a mess this early.

Thanks Jeezy-e for the encouragement!!
I’ll add this and then be done: the game play was everything I’d hope it would be and extremely fun on the first three days of early access. The first update on that Sunday messed up the game and it had been downhill (hitting wise) since.

It's not even close. The daily moment thread from last year will forever hold that crown. It was 4-5 comments or more a day from April until November

That was a good one. I feel like it only descended into madness once or twice during that whole run. Overall it was just kept to talking about the daily moment if I remember correctly
