16 was terrific.
-
2020 of course, its less arcady and casual noobs hate it, which is a good thing in my book.
-
I’ve played every year since ‘16 and while they’ve had issues, I’d say from best to worst probably;
- ‘17 (Top spin and late hits)
- ‘19 (Issues a plenty for the first 6 weeks, too much RNG in the gameplay, but the content was just so good and almost all free just for playing)
- ‘16 (Bunt Cheese, runners always reaching passed balls and ghost tagging)
- ‘20 (Everything is broken in one way or another so far, mostly fielding, but hitting and pitching are no great shakes either)
- ‘18 (So bad it’s still behind a game described as “broken in every way”, everything was awful. The content may be the worst I’ve ever seen, from souvenirs to the depressing lack of line up variety, the gameplay introduced a lot of the rng elements we’ve come to hate for the very first time, high pop flies were the most common hit type throughout the entire lifespan of the game and pitches were so slow, watching a curveball travel to home plate was roughly equal to watching the sun rise in the east, slowly meander across the sky, before setting in the west again. Roughly 10 hours from the pitchers hand to the plate.)

16 bunt cheese was an online thing right ? Never had any offline issues with that, although I never tried to exploit it ... 18 I thought played decent in franchise mode offline, after all the patches...

I Also like 17 because it was the last one w/ season mode. I'm tempted to reinstall it. Are there updated rosters for 17 out there still?
-
I remember in 17 when our biggest issue was that Griffrey could only hit HR because of his obserd top spin. Good times

No idea, but the servers are still up. I played ‘17 online last week and the marketplace, event and everything was still running.

Every year SDS out does themselves and this year is no different. #Amazing

Glad you like it, but a lot of people don’t feel this year is very good with the gameplay issues...
-
17, Although I’d say content wise ‘20 could give it a run for its money if they just fixed... well everything I guess. If good/okay got fixed, pitching was more reasonable and fielders could make even simple plays consistently I’m pretty sure this would be my favorite version. also, FWIW 17 was my first year playing DD
-
I'd say 17 because at that time i wasn't heavily as competitive and i started to become a decent player. Its between 19 and 17. In 19 i made it to the 1000 ratings in ws and played some of the top players in the game so maybe one of those two

2017 for Pitching

You feel that way even with all the gameplay issues so far this year ? I never found any version of the a show to be arcady, it’s always leaned towards sim baseball ...

19 was the best combo of content and gameplay. This years fielding is AWFUL, balls bouncing off guys while they’re right under it and then can’t pick it up to throw it in and then when they finally do they throw with 0 urgency, it’s enough to drive anyone crazy. Saw Jeff McNeil beat Hunter Pence last night when a routine flyball went off the outfielders face.
-
17 was also my first DD year and I liked they gave offline gamers good DD programs like 'VS CPU' where you had 90 games to complete vs the cpu against all levels of difficulty. I wish they had brought that back.
I enjoyed 19 mainly because of the content. 20 is suffering since there is no season but the fielding is so broken. 17 had a lot of fielding issues too but they fixed those in 18 and 19. But in 20 it's back and I dont understand why its back since it was fixed the last 2 years.
-
Only started playing DD the past two years. Before that I only did RTTS and single games or maybe a season with a team. Got hooked on DD in 2018 because RTTS wasn't doing it for me. Became addicted. So, I had a lot of fun there, but I think last year's was my favorite (so far) out of the three years I've played DD.

I would say this year although hitting is very easy at least now if u square up a ball it causes damage. I remember after one of the patches in 2018 every squared up ball was a line out

in 18 there were so many patches that changed the game entirely. And it wasn't even close, you would notice right away. I remember on patch when you hit the ball it would fly like a wiffle ball. It just would float out for an out even if you hit it hard.
