Reading this board seriously makes me feel like I've slipped into an alternate universe or something. I read post after post complaining about the various problems with the game, but I don't personally experience them.
Controlling outfielders does feel a bit wonky at times, but not to the point where i'm making errors all the time. I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment intelligently on PCI placement or whether good input is being rewarded as often as it should, but my overall hitting stats are roughly the same as they've always been. The same goes for pitching. When I hit the center of the meter, my pitches almost always go where i was aiming them or pretty close to it. When I do hang one over the middle, 99% of the time my input was a little bit off.
I'm not trying to go all fanboy on everybody and deny that there are issues, because I've seen the videos and some of them do look pretty bad. I guess I'm just genuinely confused about why I don't have any of the same problems they do. Is it because I don't play online that much? Is it because I almost never play above all star difficulty? Is it because I play with default settings and the game can't handle it for some reason when people change them? Do I not have a large enough sample size of games played for the issues to stand out since I don't play as much as a lot of the more hardcore players? Am I just a weird outlier? I seriously don't get it.
Maybe I'm getting the benefit of the so called "little billy code that everyone keeps whining about, but if that's the case then the developers need to give it a patch because my RS record is terrible and i'm in the middle of a long losing streak so I could use a few cheap wins thrown my way lol.
This is what’s annoying. Some days the majority of games play okay and you start to think the game could be okay with a few tweaks. Then you have two or three games where pitches are jumping around and appear to be coming in at 200mph so you can’t hit, your defenders botch multiple routine plays at key moments, just standing there like statues while the ball hits them in the face, or they start doing crazy things that are out of your control to prevent and you’re back to thinking this is the worst version of the game that you’ve ever seen.

In short, yes, it is because you don’t play online very much.

i gave up on 20 and i'm back in 19. ball gets smacked around the way it should
-
I like thinking about playing the game more than actually playing it

Offline mode is so good, you guys are missing out trying to play DD and pulling cards or whatever else you online people do.

The game is amazing and user skill is very important. The main problem is many users want to blame someone or something else for their failures.

Tell your dev buddies to put in ping indicators and ping match making. Would immediately help this game. Tell them this isn't 2005 any more.

I don't hate it, but I'm disappointed in it. I don't have a strong desire to play it as often as years past either. I'll jump in a ranked game, [censored] starts and i shut it down.

I play MLB the show 19, i haven't bought 20 yet......I notice there is a still a strong community playing 19 due to all this madness with 20.

I don’t like what they did to hitting when game came out I was putting ball into play a lot after patch I strike out about 10 times a game I’m not the greatest but same time I don’t suck that bad I will say ok a CS player
Yeah hitting has sucked since the patch the day of official release. It was fine before that, and been absolutely awful since. On top of terrible fielding , animations suck, pitching is like rolling the dice even on good feedback....

really happy to say i figured out the problems i was having with the hitting. i changed the PCI appearance to have white colored diamonds in the center and i made the Inner and Outer fade. for me, i was getting the 'zone' on the ball, but my hits were garbage because i was not getting the center perfectly squared up. almost like when you pitch you must hit that yellow line, or it's not forgiving. now they've made it so hitting is similar and i'm actually a fan now that i've figure it out a little. I also try practice mode on legend hitting sometimes before i try like diamond dynasty events that matter. it helps for sure, because i'm veteran at best lol.
just a tip, but the PCI really helped me track the ball and make better contact. 'perfect' contact is almost always a hit or some kind of positive event.
