What's the biggest disappointment for you this year

Good point. I shouldn't have said it's the biggest disappointment. I know this applies to so many other things, but it just seems like such a simple thing to not be able to get correct.
-
So far the pitching problem hasn’t bit me yet; when I lay a changeup thigh high instead of the ankles it’s usually my fault. No dot guaranteed this year unless you’re perfect. 20 drove me nuts though; not this year.

Notice how everyone is batting over .300 this year?... They ruined hitting for children.
Market is garbage
Hrs played/Stubs earned is abysmal this year.
I played for 7 hours last night, opened over 30 packs and got nothing, fine but thet means that all night I made 4000 Stubs. That's not good.Perfect pitches being forced into the stroke zone so Timmy and Tommy can get hits too.
Online play has to be the anchor or this game and they ruined it. Without solid online play then offline mean absolute nothing to 90% of the players. Because we/they will get tired of playing the cpu.
All these changes were made for 1 reason. They want to keep kids in games in hopes the spend more money. All game developers see how much dirty money games like 2k, madden, and fortnite rake in from mommy's and daddy's credit card and they can't help themselves. It's ruined battlfield, madden, 2k, apex, call of duty, grand turismo, valorant, on and on and on... the show lasted longer than others. Losing the ps4 exclusive will be the death of such a quality game. It feels alot like madden this year.

For me, it has to be the commentary. It seems like there's a complete disconnect between the commentary and what is actually happening in the game. A lazy fly ball to shallow RF is called a fly ball to the wall, and a line drive to the left-center field gap is always called a hit down the line. It also seems like it's all the same lines every game and we're barely 3 weeks past early access.
The commentary is absolutely atrocious.
Among a thousand issues with it, each time after you put a pinch hitter in the box for your pitcher:
“And now the pitcher up to bat”

[censored] rewards

The worst is when Boog does that little laugh/grumble then starts talking. That sound is terrible.
-
No real rewarding secondary grind beyond the featured program.
Last year we had team Affinity, but that got taken away because people hunkered down in Showdown instead of playing baseball.
In 2000 we had the XP reward path alongside the innings program.
Going all the way back to ‘16 & ‘17 the cpu tracked our individual stats and unlocked stubs & small missions when we hit milestones.
This year…NOTHING.
We are now 1 step above collecting digital Braves hats.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Little Billy, Timmy and Tommy have ruined online play unless your in the top 5% of players who only really play each other at the top level. For anyone in the mid to lower ranks….we are just trading wins/losses as the game deems who gets it. Wins/loses feel very fabricated.

In an event today, I hit a home run with my leadoff hitter in the top of the 1st inning and boog starting screaming about it being a home run “in the late stages of the game.”

Actually, the top players usually friendly each other until they find someone with a record they know they can beat.

The thousands upon thousands of XP I'm not getting because I'm already maxed out.
-
Baseball ... if I didn't like or played baseball I'll think that's baseball ...
-
Meter pitching feels way more random this year than last.
Too many late line drives and early pop fly HR's. Too many slightly early weak ground balls to 3rd and slightly late weak pop flies. P/P is like 60/40
400 innings for ranked - dead mode
Events rewards are trash and selling for less than LS Arenado
12 free 90's + lack of stubs in circulation + lack luster collection rewards (90% quit if someone sees a 99 unit) = pack ripping a lost past time
No daily program that gave rewards instead of useless XP
Game has been on mute since 4/1. Announcers are dog shite. Go get Don Orsillo from next door SDS.All while Madden officially committed suicide this year and 2k with early hype and a big drop off.
TF is going on with deez guys?

Probably best to stop playing the game completely and play any other game. There's a lot of great games out there.

Sports games are just getting to a point where they are so money driven, the games are being driven into the ground. Most of the companies don’t even realize how obvious it is too. Combined with participation trophies for everyone, this game is starting to feel like a simulation in conquest. Just put your team together and see what the game decides.
-
LMFAO you guys don't seem to get that the mode you all love so much is in fact the mode that ruins/ruined this game, so not all sports games.
Kick out DD and bring back online franchise would solve all the problems
-
The loss of extra innings mode. Especially since we got nothing in its place. PS 4 users totally disrespected. No stadium creator although we were welcome to pay the same price as the people who got it. Ben Dover Special
