Last night I went back and played a game of 19, 20 is soooo much better, fastballs in 20 seem faster, off speed pitches in 20 are slower, the pci changes are amazing in 20, heck even the strike zone in 20 is better, in 19 the zone is black and it’s actually quite distracting. You don’t have line outs galore in 20, if you can consistently square up the ball you’re going to get rewarded, you don’t have the ridiculous constant bloops that 19 has. The analog meter in 20 goes so much faster which is nice. 20 has issues with fielding and to a lesser extent pitching but overall 20 is a much better game.]
Agreed. essentially they made a step in the right direction as far as trying to implement a more defined skill gap. They have to polish pitching and def fix the wonkiness of Fielding animations, like you said. Even with all of the things you've pointed out people will get on here and say the game is complete hot [censored]. It's flawed but the effort to actually get skill to matter is glaringly obvious from my pov.
Absolutely agreed my man, some people are finding out that where they would get bailed out in 17-19 they’re not getting bailed out in 20 and because of that they think the game is trash
Yup. Actually thought of something else. If you try 19 and swing at trash pitches below the zone you usually would be bailed out with a foul ball...if you swing at that now, more often than not it will get out into play for a DP/groundout. You flat out just have to be better at hitting now
Not to mention this year it feels like even a slight tap of the button doesn't go for a check swing in your favor sometimes

Agree with everything outside of the lineouts. Feels like those are now back in full force.
I haven’t had it, I seem to get rewarded as I should on a consistent basis
Especially on HOF. Since playing this event, I think I’ve had 1 good/okay where it was a hanging slider and was centered up with trout. Other than that one outlier, it’s played almost perfect for me. -with a 30+ game sample size.

Funny you should say that. I just did the same a couple of hours ago. I was starting to think my connection was lagging out or something so I figured I'd go back and see if I still had those issues on 19.
Nope, played fine, had no problems with fastballs.
So I'm relieved it's not just me, its the game. I'm not going to argue about what is better and what isnt. But what I do know is that I'm not having any fun with this game and haven't been since 1.05 or whenever the hacked pitch speeds. So I'm going to take a break from playing online for a while.
I'll still be around here though.

Same man, one outlier swing for me as well, but nothing in my other 25ish games that felt like I was getting screwed over

Agreed. I think 20 is a huge improvement over 19 and one thing not a lot of people are talking about is the custom pci. I think that is a game change. I have been playing around with that a lot and have found some options I really like. This makes hitting a lot easier once you find something you really like.

I wish they had the option to use the plain round circle I've been using for years.

Yeah, I actually really enjoy the event because of it. I’m such a sucker for BR though because I want the flawless run and to finish collections, but it tests my patience because half of the games seem like a crapshoot between people playing afternoon games in MLB stadiums, lunging at pitches in the dirt and foul tipping them, and good/okay feedback is much more prevalent. It seems like it was much easier to go 12-0 last year and in 17 than it is in 20.

I played 17 recently. I know that game had major flaws like the just late exit velos and top spin heavy swings. But man that game was awesome.

Lmao the golden days. I remember that, played so much I took a year off after (18). Remember how guys with 2 handed swings were OP and everyone's CAP had Corey Seager's swing?

I agree Harry...things usually have to go your way in BR but I feel as if that's more than true this year.

I agree. Fielding is the one true issue with this game. It it hard to hit? Yes. Is is because the game is trash? No its because I am trash. Do weak hits fall sometimes and screw people over? Yes. But people don’t complain when they win a game because of lucky hits. I won an RS game last night in like 12-13 innings. I won the game because he left his reliever in for too long and walked 2 in the last inning. However I had no business even sending the game to extras because I scored on 2 early/ok solo shots and an error. I also lost a game where I outhit my opponent 13-5. Was the game out to get me? No. I choked with RISP and less than 2 outs 5-6 times. I haven't hung nearly as many pitches since the pithing patch. It still happens but I know for a fact people just get lazy when pitching and blame it on the game. I have a feeling that alot of the hardcore complainers are good at madden or 2k and automatically assume they should be good at this game
I agree with you, I played a game in RS last night for the first time in a week. I only hung one pitch it was with Wood and my opponent crushed it. I will take that one hanging pitch over what it was. I think I left Wood in to long so that was my fault. I lost that game 3-2.

Sometimes that all you need is a break from online. I took a break from RS for about a week. I kept getting one game away from PR, and then lose every time. I was like nope playing this no more. This week I was able to win and move up. I do not play a ton of RS. I started out 0-4 and I think I am 19-24 now. I am usually above .500. I think that is pretty good because I hate at hitting so this year I been Choosing cards for hitters cause I can pitch pretty well. My current lineup is:
Mantle
Snider
Sandberg
McCovey (Rakes)
Sanchez
Bregman
Granderson
Ripken (Just got him) -

Absolutely. That POTM Correa was a god too. And Beltran in the outfield. Good times.

The thing is, if sds wants the game to play this way that's fine, its their game. They can decide who to cater to. I just wish they would have said that before I wasted $90 on it.

Good-Okay is the new “lineout” never had “good-okay” in perfectly squares up balls in 19
-
Hitting is good enough right now but the fielding and baserunning are extremely frustrating and it’s taking the joy out of the game for most. That and the way hits are recorded as errors and vice versa plus the announcers saying the wrong thing at times, just makes for an overall sloppy experience. I love this game, I just hope they tighten it up a bit
-
Posted about this once already this year. This game feels rewarding for the most part besides pitching. I will play a ton of games this year. Already at 100 event wins. Want the 20 pack and then I'm done. Maybe another prospect shot but I need to get back to grinding WS currently 756. Just not excited about the WS WS rewards. With a 99 kluber on the board already give me a half decent diamond to combat him. Just my opinion. Also lag is the only thing I see in game that I have never seen like that in a show before. I cant swing at pitches sometimes or attempt to throw a strike on the mound because of meter jumping, even unforced errors in the field
-
Remember last year when frickin Ichiro was the unstoppable card? Bloop hit after bloop hit and speed cheese. 20 is so much better from my end.
-
Just played a couple event games in 19 on HoF. Still felt a thousand times better than this game. I dont know what to say.
I understand what the really good players like about it. I dont know what the answer is honestly.
