@Pergo_MLBTS
The hitting engine is. There’s no denying that.I disagree that its broken. Now I understand people have different ideas about how they want the hitting to work, and you may not like the way it works, but that doesn't mean its broken.

@fubar2k7_PSN, 100% agree.
The foul balls are more than a little silly, and should be the next thing to be tamped down now that the HR rate isn't quite as ridiculous as it has been in past iterations. Fix that, call strikes according to the rules, and this game gets much better (it's already pretty decent).

@The_Joneser_PSN I stopped reading after you said our and others complaints aren’t “commonplace” on the forums. You clearly aren’t on the forums enough. Keep pumping ur chest and Breaking out those pushups in front of the mirror Poet Boy.
Additionally, most people probably set the game down or moved on to something else after suffering from these issues. I doubt the majority come to the forums. Hell, a lot of players don’t even have the app. -
@The_Joneser_PSN If all you saw from the start were warping pitches you wouldn't know any better. You would think that was the normal game play. Therefore, would likely not have a reason to post on reddit or a forum. If I grew up in an Amazon uncontacted tribe, I wouldn't know internet even existed. Does that mean it isn't there? The game works perfect for you. That's great! Congrats! Just because something works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone.

@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL, your complaining far exceeds commonplace. You are a fountain of complaints, but the handful of you that splash and preen about in your own gush are far from representative.
And I'm not surprised that you stopped reading something that ran counter to your counterfeit advertence; I suspect that's how you go through life... there's not much growth when your goal is to simply reinforce your preconceived beliefs.

@DemIsE4_XBL, your logic is astoundingly bad. Let's step out of Plato's cave for a bit.
Anyone who has even the slightest conception of baseball knows that pitches don't "warp," and no one would think that was normal game play. And complaining online is an industry unto itself (see Yelp). The truth is actually the opposite of what you're clumsily trying to say.
Those without issue tend to stay silent and go about their lives. Those with gripes are overrepresented in every forum. And, yet, there are only a handful of people in a forum known for complaining who are complaining about warping pitches, endless freeze-offs, and unplayable offline lag.
What's the logical conclusion, there?
-
@The_Joneser_PSN You are absolutely right, I have no conception of baseball. lol. That's basically like saying a musician doesn't know how to tune his instrument.

@DemIsE4_XBL, your sad attempt at a logical argument:
If all you saw from the start were warping pitches you wouldn't know any better. You would think that was the normal game play.
My response:
Anyone who has even the slightest conception of baseball knows that pitches don't "warp," and no one would think that was normal game play.
Does that read like I was claiming that you, personally, have no conception of baseball? Perhaps your ability to understand written language is as bad as your logic.
Nice flex, though... I never would have guessed that you think so highly of yourself.

The game is very poorly rated this year
Is a game rated 9/10 by IGN and Forbes low rated to you?
-
@The_Joneser_PSN bro all you have to do is go and look at the thousands of Google reviews complaining about the same stuff. Its not just a few of us. You want to come on here and discredit what people are saying. Makes you look like a tool. Not everyone who complains comes onto these forums. Most people dont even know these forums exist.

@Ditka06_MLBTS
Google reviews only exist for places. Here are some reviews I found from respected outlets about the game:
https://www.metacritic.com/game/mlb-the-show-25/
https://www.forbes.com/sites/games/2025/03/19/mlb-the-show-25-review-the-pinnacle-of-the-series/
https://www.ign.com/articles/mlb-the-show-25-review
https://gamerant.com/mlb-the-show-25-review/
I didnt read any of these, they were the first results to come up, so not picking and choosing here -
@Ditka06_MLBTS, yeah... I should look at the "thousands of Google reviews complaining about the same stuff."
Of course, there are only 544 Google audience reviews (only 415 with any actual commentary that say anything at all), and a quick scroll through several revealed exactly zero mentions of the specific things I've pointed out as not being real issues.
Maybe if you weren't lying you could point some out.
Yes, when I read obvious [censored] I point it out. I'm sorry if that makes you feel "discredited," but perhaps you should feel that way when you're just making [censored] up and someone calls you on it.
