This game is way too hard for beginners
-
@markemark_NSW it could be I’m rly not sure I’ve had stretches where this game feels hard and I get it. but I almost always come out the light at the end of the tunnel. And for ur kid im sure he has lots of shows ahead of him if he doesn’t have it yet im sure he will eventually rtts is a great way to practice hitting or even practice mode.
-
Honestly, I’m not talking about my kid. My 14-year old is way better than I am. I referenced others who have mentioned their kids in the forums. I just struggle and I’ve noticed a change from last year.
-
@markemark_NSW The difficulties have been largely the same for 10+ years. I think you overestimate the difficulty of this game for most people. Lowering the difficulty won’t make you better. Practice.

I usually try to comment with substance with solutions. For us online aka better players just give us alot more online grindable content. That way we dont have to play offline as much. For the offline players give them more as well. Both can be done. I for one dont ever want to play offline because it makes me worse at the game. There is a way to cater to both players.
-
@markemark_NSW They didn’t make it harder. It’s the same hitting engine.
-
I have no problem admitting (if it’s true) that my skills are diminishing. I know I was never great to begin with. Just trying to figure out and inquire from the community (without all the trolls) about their experience with difficulty levels

See, this is a constructive response from a different kind of player than me without lording it over worse players. Thank you. -
I've been playing for years and my son who loves baseball wanted to start playing too at about 8 years old. Every year he would try and rookie was too hard for him so he would give up after a few days. He was finally able to start enjoying the game at age 12. It makes me wonder where this game would be if younger kids could enjoy it and not give up due to it being too hard on the easiest level for them. I imagine most kids just wouldn't come back each year like mine did.

@markemark_NSW you're welcome. I know there are two types of players on here. Im not even that good. I just prefer the online competition.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN I think this is because everyone gets used to a team full of maxed out 99’s and then going back to the beginning of the power creep.

I am still trying to figure out why my kids couldn't walk as newborns. Saw a nature video of a baby giraffe walking shortly after hitting the ground. Makes me wonder where humanity would be if younger infants could walk right away instead of crying and feeling sorry for themselves. Evolution should do something about this if it wants more people to enjoy life.
-
@Ditka06_MLBTS Repeatable online missions and a wheel in the multiplayer program would solve these issues.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN agreed its what we have been asking for. I know you have been asking for this as well for a while.
-
@markemark_NSW I’m not trolling. What hitting annd pitching interface are you using?
-
@dr_zoidberg25_MLBTS For a younger kid, I’d suggest road to the show on beginner.
-
GoozeFn_PSN could very easily have something to do with it.
-
This is exactly my point. The elitists need to realize this game will never be hard enough for them. It’s made for everyone not just them. Being great at the game already gives players a huge advantage and allows them to accomplish things much easier and much faster than the majority of the player base. Just make rookie play like rookie and put the moments on rookie as well.
-
Yep, it could appeal much more to kids if lower difficulties actually allowed them to build confidence.
-
Rookie and Veteran difficultly are both extremely easy. Wait for a good pitch and clobber it. Work the count. It's baseball.
All-star difficultly is the default game difficulty and I win and lose games on that level.
Rookie and veteran - you can't lose if you pay attention. -
@GoozeFn_PSN
Yes that’s quite possibly true. But wouldn’t that affect outcomes more than swing timing? I’m not sure exactly how it works, but I don’t complain that often about bad outcomes like perfect-perfect line outs. I don’t need every hit to be a homer. I’m just trying to figure out why I’m swinging late on rookie way more often than in ’25.
