The cpu is throwing 75% balls plz fix now
-
Was this game even tested? It honestly doesn’t look like it was as of right now no matter the difficulty the cpu is constantly throwing out of the strike zone even hitting batters non stop. I faced a pitcher last night who threw 10 balls in a row that’s not fun and a massive waste of everyone’s time. I honestly don’t know how this game made it out of testing in its current state.

@VioletNine9
Yep. This makes completing moments and storylines almost impossible. I’ve walked more times in 2 days then I did during entire game cycles in previous years.

@TripleH-4481
Ive walked more in 2 days of playing ‘24 than i did in all my DD years combined….all the way back to ‘16 lol
-
Yep. Me too. Combine that with finally getting a pitch to hit only to have a “perfect/perfect” die as a routine fly ball and these inherently mind-numbing, tedious chores become fcukign unbearable.
-
I received 3 walks in one inning yesterday! It was a vs. CPU game on Veteran. 90 Griffey, who has been buns for me, popped out with the bases loaded and 2 outs.
I wanted to cry
-
I have walked more times against the CPU in the last 24 hours, then I have total combined in my previous 9 years of playing MLB the show! Its Crazy!
-
I like walks especially when it's a speed guy,it's either a free double or a 2run shot cause the pitcher floats a hanger trying to be quick to the plate
-
@PAinPA I dont mind walking a bit more either, but I've had so many 4 pitch walks its insane. I think this was done as a way to slowdown gameplay, and somewhat hold back players from grinding out XP in a tiny user created stadium where you can score 30-50 runs a game, thereby extending out the XP grind.
I just think it needs to be dialed back a little
-
This how it starts off every year. After about a month, they fix it, then hitting turns to exrement for the remainder of the year. Glad I saved my $40 after reading these forums yesterday and today.
-
Mini seasons is almost unplayable because of this change. Just walked 6 times and was hit twice in a game (and easily could have walked 3-4 more times if I wanted).
Why does SDS ruin things that aren’t broken. They really need a better dev team.
-
It's getting out of control. When pitchers throw 2 balls in a row, I'll swing at the next pitch just hoping they'd throw strikes.
One thing I've started doing is playing assist the cpu on 5000 elevation fields against teams with great pitching, like the Braves. Strider actually throws strikes st a 50/50 rate, lol.
Playing against common and bronzes with bad control is much worse. -

Why do you guys pay extra for early access knowing that this studio is basically using you as free beta testers before the official launch?

I went and cut the grass. I came back in I was up 11-0

It’s too bad because when strikes are thrown the hitting actually feels pretty good. The wild pitches by the cpu are way over the top. The ball doesn’t carry in negro league or major league stadiums so it basically means you have to play in minor league parks or created stadiums if you don’t want the offline grinding to take a crazy amount of time.

And even then feels weird harder to get xp in 9 inning games it feels like

I had 3 hit batters and a wild pitch in the last conquest game.
Tech tests matter

This is reassuring. I thought it was just me. I rarely ever walked in 23. I swing at almost everything. And I'm walking several times a game now. Poor Griffey has been hit by pitches 7 times already. And I've hit a few home runs, but everything feels much weaker. With all the walks and deadball stuff, hitting just isn't very fun. Big problem for a baseball game.

And I am not a good hitter but sadly now I know it’s not just me

Vs CPU on Rookie is not difficult... It's just annoying as heII.

@VioletNine9 I wanted to post this yesterday but I thought it might just be my bad luck it is crazy how many walks you can easily get even on Veteran in previous games I would have to play on AS or higher
