Of course it is. This is only the 10000 post about it. Bottom line is twitch creators are bashing it and content is less and less, McGunski doesn’t even stream anymore and puts out a video once a week. Kyle is Kyle but like him or not he’s been a huge ambassador for the game and he’s slams it. Ray Cheesy who is the nicest guy there is has started speaking out. Bottom line 2022 is garbage. They’ve said they have fixed things but really haven’t. But you have to accept it at this point. It sucks. I’m not going to stop playing every time I fire my Xbox or PS5 up I expect the unexpected. I hope 23 is better or MVP Baseball is out sooner rather than later. But at the end of the day this is going to cost them

It’s a pure RNG fest. Sure skill can make the difference to overcome a lot of the BS but the balance between good input being rewarded compared to bad input being rewarded is way off.
There’s way too much BS hits on horrible swings. Foul balls are ridiculous again. Seeing way too many perfect/perfects going foul. Good/goods are basically an auto out, you just have to wait until the game decides to cut you a break.
I should not be sweating out games against people who are striking out 10+ times a game when the majority of my outs are on lineouts or warning track shots. You can be dominant for 8 innings and only be up 2-0. Then all it takes is a couple of god awful swings after fouling 10 pitches in the dirt for them to tie it or win it.

I feel ya OP. My latest example was a BR game against a World Series player (with a solid record) yesterday. We went to the 2nd with me up 3-0. Brandon Lowe misses a routine grounder that would have been a double play. Austin Riley proceeds to miss a grounder at 3rd that same inning and to top it off I caught Mullins taking too large of a turn at second (the ball clearly beat him to the bag and replay showed the tag swipe but yet he was safe). It takes alot for me to eat a good WS player without giving them 3 extra outs in a 3-inning game. Very frustrating.
-
I don't get it. I play a game and everything I hit is a bomb until the other guy quits. Then I hop in to another game, I'm still seeing the ball well and making good swings and it feels like an excruciating uphill battle for every base. Then I go in to the next game and hit everything.

Let’s just hope SDS replaces the gameplay creators with more deserving and qualified programmers.

Doubtful, if they could have fixed it, they would have fixed it. There's a reason their focus is 100% on content. They don't advertise the game play, they don't talk about the game play, they don't patch the game play.
They just push new content to death, hoping you'll ignore the actual process of playing the video game.

I’m referring to replacing them before for next years game.

Right, I understand your written words. Doubtful, SDS first has to recognize that there is a problem before they attempt to fix the problem. Not only will they not recognize the gameplay issues, they won't even talk about them at all.
Ya'll keep buying the game and stubs, no reason for them to fix anything until people stop giving them money, and stop buying their product.

Lots of jokes about “functioning as intended”, but I think they are getting the gameplay they designed this year. Lots of complaints about gameplay last year, yet they doubled down on areas where there were lots of complaints. This wasn’t by accident…the developers are skilled at what they do. Pretty certain they could create this game with gameplay out of this world, but that is not the product they are trying to create.

Not one bit. I think when they stated it was “functioning as intended “ during the stream, they really did feel that way. This gameplay creates a balance among almost all skill levels which is what they want. If they wanted a game where stick skills really reigned supreme, they would not keep moving further away from that. They could create that game and have been closer to that game in the past.

I honestly think gaming was better on the PS2 with dial up then now. Games had no updates so what you bought is what you got. I had more fun playing Socom and Madden back then then I have ever had playing any games since. Quit Madden years ago and Socom went to [censored] and it stop being made. Which I never understood. This game is ok for the competitive itch but it's not great.
He'll let loose is probably one of the better sim games out there with a dev team that actually communicates.

You mean all the time. This is the absolute worst version of this game, probably ever! It’s just trash. It’s all cpu controlled. Up 5 going into the 7th? Don’t worry the cpu will make sure that very late swing on a 100mph inside fast ball to a righty ends up over the 3rd baseman and in front of the left fielder. And then there will be some perfectly ill timed animation that will cost you 2 or 3 runs. Then with perfect pinpoint pitching… your next three pitches will still be left over the plate and now where you placed it. It’s trash, it’s uninstalled. This app is too follow. I understand it’s baseball. But also understand that it isn’t real baseball. It’s a video game. It’s supposed to be fun. It’s not that at all. But everything apparently is working as they intended it. So I’m done with it. Glad to see I’m not the only one. I wonder if SDS noticed the amount of quit games has definitely significantly gone up this year.
18 was worse. 22 is a close 2nd. The biggest kick in the pants is that they have yet to touch gameplay in any of the 11 game updates/ patches. Its shocking they are ok with the game in this state. Not a competitive game at all!

So you’re telling me they intentionally made the gameplay terrible? What about the fielding and pitching issues, was that intentional as well? Are you reading what you’re typing before you hit send? No way this game is playing as intended.

First of all SDS is who said it was "functioning as intended". I just quoted it and said more and more I am starting to believe it is the truth. I would ask why that is so hard to believe if...1) Gameplay was better in previous versions...2) They have created a game with more CPU determined outcomes...3) Have made a game that allows a wider skillset to compete against each other. I have definitely read what I wrote and I know that you complain about this game as much as anyone, so I really don't understand what I have said that bothers you so much. I think quality gameplay comes second, third or fourth to SDS. They don't intentionally create terrible gameplay, but they want "balanced" gameplay and that is their priority over quality gameplay. That is why they say things like "functioning as intended".

What it comes down to in my opinion is that they are incapable of making quality gameplay. That don’t have the skill set or the right people for the job.

They obviously do, they can keep bad players competitive with good players and good players competitive with great players. Even a terrible player can hang around against a good player. It’s pretty impressive. You are just confusing what they intended with what you wish they intended.
I’m 19-1 and my one loss was to a sub .150 hitter. I’m almost positive that guy hasn’t quit playing even with most of his guys hitting around .100 and neither have you. So yes, It’s working as intended. They’ve even managed to hide it a lot better than they used to with bogus hits and insane fouls as opposed to your OF just dropping the ball every couple innings and moon shot HRs outside the PCI.

The fielding is a mess along with pitching, it’s not just hitting. Who wants to play a game where no matter the skill set it’s turned into an even match up? If you’re not good at the game you shouldn’t be rewarded just for participating. That’s life, some people are just better than others.

Exactly!!! Isn’t that what the division’s are for? To separate players according to skill? I used to play CS to WS every year, now I’m in the 600’s having RNG snooze fest games in freaking all star! Sad to say in my opinion hitting last year was better and that’s not good but at least you could go duke it out and actually score some runs. This year it feels the game is almost predetermined before it starts.
