    Well said Raes. Yes hitting was better in 16 without the ball physics in 17. I guess what I'm trying to convey is that these are the last two games where complete player input mattered. I don't think there can be any argument there if you played those games.

    Agreed.

    I just wish one pitching interface wasn't better than the other.

    I'm meter for life and it was always the worst pitching option. Analog was king until this precision BS and now analog is 3rd behind meter.

    How many people use precision pitching, but can't use zone hitting?

    Actually the worst pitching option is Classic button pitching. That's what I used in 16 and would get hammered. I started using analog in late 16 and that's all I've used since. For me it's better than meter pitching. I have used Zone hitting since I started DD in 16.l

    Forgot all about classic pitching.

    Personally I think if you remove 18 altogether as that was a disaster, 20 is where things really went downhill. People talk about 16 and 17 and I agree they were great but 19 was still a solid game. Other than the line outs it played relatively well. I feel like in 19 user input still mattered enough to make the game competitive. Once 20 came things just got ridiculous with pci feedback, constant foul balls, check swings, etc.

    17 was great. Goes down as one of the greatest baseball video games ever for me. I still own it.

    I think we can all agree that 16 and or 17 were the last of the great games. 19 had its lineouts for sure and I don't remember having that "wow" feeling about it that pfcorporate mentions. He could be right though. It really is too bad that some were not around to experience those renditions. I would take that game engine with the updated graphics/players any day. Especially with the attributes of the time. 95-97 diamonds were just as relevant or more than some of the guys they give 99's to now.

    I use pulse pitching and can get over 800 every year……until I stop caring.
