Gameplay issues

I will do my best to not come off as harsh. I’m an average player yet trust me I really do enjoy this game. However, are a few issues I’ve had this year.
Just late home runs with like 90 mph exit velo have been bad. I’ve hit them and so have my opponents. Also, early hits seem nearly
impossible to keep fair. I’ve hit countless foul ball home runs on early swings this year. I get it I’m early, but when you square up an early swing it’s like a 90% foul ball rate.Good swings seem to be getting an exit velo nerf too if your pci isn’t near perfect.
On the bright side very early hits seem a lot less successful compared to what they were.
The biggest issue I have is the 100+ mph groundouts and not being able to get hardly anything past the infield except when you get late bloop hits on inside sinkers lol. I know we’ve all experienced super diving this year.
For all the amazing plays the infielders make though, they’ll have weak ground balls hit at them where they just get horrid animations and 56 speed ends up getting infield singles. Diamond fielders are making these mistakes too.
And of course how weak little bloopers in front of home plate make us all scared because of how often they turn into hits.
I know this isn’t well organized but those are just my thoughts. It hasn’t felt very rewarding this year yet it’s still in way better shape than games like madden but I don’t want to say that as if I’m letting them slide off the hook. Gameplay could definitely use some tuning.
Curious to hear some other people’s thoughts!

I get what you’re saying. I feel some of these interfaces they put on there to help make us better give us false impressions that every perfect hit should be an automatic hit but as we know from watching the game this isn’t how it goes. To be honest I never needed those things and turned them off and don’t even really notice the things your talking about other than the occasional gold glove play by someone I know can’t play defense in real life.

This is definitely reasonable — the ones I want to point out are the perfect perfect line outs and early foul balls. Since last year, the gameplay hasn’t really getting any better. I also think that super dives have really gotten better. Much less Superman dives from Bronze fielding players. I do like the new throwing meter and the new Bat PCI. Overall, I think The Show 23 is definitely a boost from 22 with the content this year versus last year. But, gameplay has barely improved, I agree.
