22 is one of the easier games in the series to catch on and compete being a casual, given that the game doesn't punish bad plate discipline or terrible pitch recognition. If you sit fastball on every pitch thrown to you, without any intention to adapt or to take a pitch when it's on the black, you can still be very successful in this game. So yeah I disagree with almost everything you say. It applied to some games in this series, like MLBTS 16 and even 17, but definitely not 22.
Lol he said ‘22 requires a high degree of skill, I nearly pissed myself when I read that

The most important skill is the ability to not slam your pci. Great players feather that [censored] when pitches are in the zone. I'm not one of them...

I agree the gameplay is nowhere near where it should be and the game does let you off the hook on some bad swings for sure. However. I’ve now been playing this game most days for 2 years. Not nearly as much as many who have played forever, but certainly more than a casual player. In my league I never so much as held a lead in the first 7 games. It’s still not easy for guys who aren’t super skilled. Especially when playing on HoF.

That's fair, I simply tried comparing this year's game to other installments in the context of OP. And in that context I stand by what I said.

Good call, I definitely can’t speak to previous years and truthfully, I played better online this year than in 21. And I am certainly willing to acknowledge when I hit a bomb I didn’t really deserve. That’s why I appreciate you. You can handle a lively debate without it turning sour. You gonna play 23?

Has anyone else caught on the OP is a ChatGPT generated response?

Skill can improve just by upgrading from TV to 1ms monitor. And from last generation hardware to new generation hardware. And adding a thumbstick attachment on your left thumbstick. I went from "suck" to "average" adding those 3 things.

Nothing to really write a thesis about. You're either good or you're not. You either get better or you don't.

The MLB The Show 22 is a highly popular baseball video game that allows players to simulate the experience of being a professional baseball player. While some players excel at the game and can easily dominate their opponents, many struggle to achieve success. This raises the question, why do people suck at MLB The Show 22?
One possible explanation is that the game requires a high degree of skill and knowledge of baseball. Players must understand the nuances of pitching, hitting, and fielding, as well as be able to make split-second decisions in order to succeed. Additionally, the game includes a variety of complex controls and mechanics that require practice and familiarity to master.
Another possible explanation is that the game is highly competitive. The online multiplayer mode of MLB The Show 22 allows players to compete against others from around the world, and the stakes are high. Losing a game can be frustrating and demotivating, which can lead to a lack of enthusiasm for the game and a decline in performance.
Furthermore, the game is constantly evolving. Each new version of MLB The Show introduces new features, mechanics, and strategies, which can be difficult to keep up with. Players who do not stay up to date with the latest changes may find themselves at a disadvantage when playing against others who have adapted to the new game mechanics.
Finally, it is important to consider the human element. People are fallible and prone to mistakes, and this applies to playing video games as well. Even the best players can have off days, make mistakes, or simply not perform up to their usual standards. This is especially true in a game like MLB The Show 22, which requires a high degree of focus and concentration.
In conclusion, there are a variety of reasons why people may struggle with MLB The Show 22. The game requires a high degree of skill and knowledge, is highly competitive, constantly evolving, and subject to human error. However, with practice, dedication, and a willingness to learn, anyone can improve their performance and enjoy the game to its fullest potential.
Have make some great points.... But try to use a different title for this topic. It comes off negatively. -

One of the biggest issues people have is not practicing. Yes you can get a monitor over a TV and that will help with Reaction time. But you know what really helps: Take 10 minutes and practice. Turn the sliders all the way up so the fastball looks crazy fast. Use Degrom on fastballs only and practice hitting the 4 corners. Use Burnes for Sinkers down and in. Use Degrom for sliders away. 10 minutes of practice. Get in a BR game and fastballs will appear to be going 88 mph. It's a process, it's cliche' but PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.......OR IN OUR CASE PERFECT PERFECT

I play on the switch so believe me when I say it takes skill to be successful compared to all other consoles. Pride and shame is what I get out of it.

Not to sound dramatic or overly bitter, but pretty much everything. I have been hoping for a new completely overhauled MLBTS experience for years and I figured the arrival of next gen consoles would do that. Just like how NBA2K decided to make a dedicated next gen experience, which they totally nailed regardless if you like the game and/or its business model or not. I'm not a big 2K fan either for many reasons, but their next gen games are quality. I give them credit for that.
But as I expected, MLBTS 23 seems like just another lazy copy/paste job with some tweaks and small additions and a lot of messing around with the gameplay parameters/sliders to give us the false pretense of a "new" game, because it feels so different. But it's really not.
I could go into more detail about the specific gameplay what I don't like, but this comment would turn into a case study and nobody wants to read that. My arguments above are what's most important.
