    My biggest gripe right now(it's a minor gripe) is trying to learn this years hitting using silvers and golds and facing all these diamond pitchers everywhere.
    not that it can't be done ,but it's making it more difficult than it needs to be for just starting out

    Has anyone had an issue with check swings when you didn't check swing. I know this has always been a thing in the past, but wow I feel like it is way worse this year. I haven't played any ranked yet and only a handful of event and BR so I'm not sure if it's the same issue online, but in my offline grind I feel like it's happening a couple of times a game. To make matters worse the swing timing is perfect or good just about every time it happens.

    @LIONED-33_XBL so if you own a company and your customers were complaining about your products you would call them a bunch of cry babys. No because your company would go under fast.

    @Cubsfan217_XBL This forum is for discussion and constructive criticism. Not nitpicking and complaining regardless of what SDS does. Which unfortunately is how many people use it.

    @Dolenz_PSN said in my complaints about mlb 25 the show so far:

    One thing I feel like I am noticing is that the CPU seems to recover from bobbled fielding attempts and still throw out runners the majority of the time.

    Meanwhile my players lollygag on those same plays and can't get anyone out.

    I can vouch for this!!!

    Probably 4 or 5 times already, I've hit a line drive that deflects off the pitcher and conveniently ricochets right to an infielder who makes the play.

    OF, no matter the speed rating, seem to have jet packs on. They get to almost everything. If they over run the ball, they can stretch their arms behind them like 10 feet. IF have springs in their shoes. No matter the fielding rating, they can all jump like they are Jordan.

    I agree with almost everything the OP said. Except the pack rates. I think I'm getting more diamonds than usual.

    And I pulled Judge, Mookie, and Skenes so far. Granted, Ive opened a ton of packs since I'm a grinder.

    I don’t know about y’all, but I’m late swinging on just about everything. Consistently.

    Yes this, forget lining out to fielders I can't even get a solid swing down. Everything is late. It feels like the ball is already in the catchers glove when the pitcher is winding up, and again this year the CPU seems to be throwing about 80% balls, so if your guessing to speed your swing up your probably chasing something and missing.

    Hitting is definitely harder on lower difficulties. Couple this with lower rated hitters and the CPU pitchers consistently painting the corners and nibbling just off them and hitting isn’t very rewarding at this point. While I can appreciate the challenge on some level it makes the grind feel very taxing to say the least. My biggest issue is that the hitting should be much easier on lower difficulties. On all star or even veteran it’s fine to make things more challenging but to just hop on and blast or for a new player like my son rookie is kinda ridiculous. Just compare it to the easiest difficulty in almost every other game or sports title and the difference is unmistakable.

    There is a bug where the ball just goes in between the catchers legs too often and to the backstop. Doesnt matter how good ratings he has. Sometimes happens multiple times in a short period. lol. I thought they were purposely trying to sabotage my Diamond Quest run because it just kept happening with an 87 rated fielding catcher. Not that the rating should matter, balls, in air, dont get past a catcher that often. It would be different if they are in the dirt.

    Oddly this seems to be a Joe Mauer exclusive for me. Anyone else is fine

    @TripleH-4481_PSN I agree with this, but really I don't think it's the hitting its the pitches. If I'm playing on rookie I don't see why the pitchers is on the corners/throwing balls. The rookie CPU should basically be grooving fastballs.

    @trfatboy22_PSN

    They don’t need to all be center cut meatballs but the amount of dotting and nibbling just off the corners by bronze or worse pitchers on low difficulty is crazy. It should be a low stress, learn the game, get on and mash mode. Instead it’s a hunt your pitch and hope they don’t dot you up, just miss perfect, delayed swings, noodle bats, slog fest. Tried playing a couple games with my son and it was the opposite of fun. Again not asking for straight BP but they shouldn’t be dotting a player up, sinkers clipping the top of the strike zone, everything has extra run, hit hard foul balls or right at the defender, on repeat. Bottom line, more hittable pitches, more hits in general.

    @TripleH-4481_PSN No I agree they shouldn't ALL be, but significantly more pitches should catch more of the plate. That being said in general on rookie if I do wait for my pitch and square it up it gets hit hard. I haven't seen the exit velo problems of others in general. Every now and then with a low power guy but anyone with 70+ power I feel like I'm getting plenty of hard contact.
