@raesONE-_PSN was banned for asking reasonable questions one-too-many times.

My old account is banned from the forums. This is a new account that I've been using since 2022 when I moved to a different continent and I couldn't use my old account in the PS Store anymore.

@raesONE- That is all asking for more information behind the curtain as far as how the game plays. When 80% of people are running God squads, what features would you like added to the game? Better graphics, full 120hz native mode, match ups based on record/tier, and so on.
It all starts there. I would like to know how everything works behind the curtain, before I can say what I would like to have changed. I don't care about features, I care about gameplay. I care about competitiveness in the competitive game modes. Can't be competitive if the game is extremely inconsistent and we have to simply guess where that inconsistency come from.

@raesONE-
While online gameplay (hitting, pitching) is not quite as good as '16 or '17, but they have tweaked gameplay enough over the years (from '18) to be a noticable improvement. While there is still room for improvement, I do not dislike online H2H gameplay, in regards to hitting/pitching/fielding/running.However, stadium cheese is a notable problem. If they removed stadium elevation as a factor (like they did wind) and implemented more realistic requirements for fence distance and height, then that would go a long way in improving online H2H gameplay.

The next huge MLBTS update will come on PS6 and other next-gen consoles.
And, if I know this community and gamers in general well enough, there will be plenty of people who will say it looks awful.

Although I agree with your sentiment regarding the created stadiums, I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion about gameplay.

What specifically do you dislike about current (gameplay) as compared to '16/'17? What could they do better in that regard? -

What could they do better in that regard?Good input does not get rewarded as much as it should, too many foul balls, diving plays are too easy and some animations are unrealistic, bad pci homeruns, they need to work on all of it.
Non gameplay issues: “Connectivity issues. Matchmaking should be based on ping, bad internet should play against bad internet only, old gen consoles should not be playing against current gen consoles.”

What specifically do you dislike about current (gameplay) as compared to '16/'17? What could they do better in that regard?I agree with what @iBonafideScrub_ said. Hitting needs a complete overhaul. PCI needs to shrink considerably based on the difficulty you're playing at and there should be universal pitch speeds across all levels.
The catch is that the PCI should become REALLY small on HOF and Legend, which will make hitting the baseball much harder and much more realistic, but when you do get the ball in your PCI you should be guaranteed a good result 90% of the time based on the hitter's attributes.
Check swings should be eliminated from the game completely. It's way too inconsistent and they'll never be able to get that right, so it adds nothing but frustration and randomness.
Foul tips shouldn't be so frequent to happen. Especially with the smaller PCI I just advocated for, a foul tip should really ever occur when you hit the ball on the outside lines of your PCI. Ball not in the PCI at all should always be a swing and miss.
Pitching needs more consistency. Having 100% accuracy on your pinpoint should never result in a meatball down the middle. And I mean never. If that leads to pitching being too easy, then maybe make pinpoint pitching a little harder. But 100% accuracy should be 100% accuracy.
Fielding and baserunning is mostly fine. Although there are still weird animations in the game where a defender misses a swipe on the bag completely despite being there way early, or a catcher who forgot he's playing baseball. Those things have been in the game since I started playing and somehow never get cleaned up.
So long story short, input should matter. Stick skills should determine the winner. MLBTS 16 was the closest to that and even though it is a bit outdated, that was by far the best game in the franchise in my opinion.

Seems like VR might be a fun avenue to play baseball some day. Wonder if SDS will ever try to dabble. Might be a fun interface at least for a batting cage type of experience for a start

The dude that made conquest map breakdowns still wants to be a ShowNation celebrity even though he was never good lmfao.
