I stand by the statement of 18 being far worse.
It was fun if you liked RS seasons as HR derby

That’s fine, but I personally stopped buying games to play vs cpu about 5 years ago. If a game doesn’t have online multiplayer, I’m out.
I am the exact opposite. I just don't have the patience to deal with competitive online play. I only play solo games, where my enjoyment cannot be ruined by others. As a certified old man at this point I don't see that changing.

18 was actually depressing to play. 19 was notably improved, and this game plays like 19 but with more errors and more random pitching/hitting outcomes. All three are pretty bad compared to the online gameplay in 16 and 17. Those games had their issues as well but there was far less randomness.
That seems to be the chief complaint among veteran players is the high frequency of random results and the appearance of forced competitiveness where the guy who pops up and strikes out all game is always just a bloop and a blast away from winning vs the guy who hits 10+ line drives.

Maybe that’s my issue here. I’ll be 39 this summer and I think I’m just mentally stuck in between being too old for this [censored] and wanting things to work how they always did in the past. The sooner I progress to full on “old man yelling at clouds” status and accept it, the better off I’ll be.

I've actually gone back and started playing MLB 19. I then played a few games of 16. 16 hitting was clean.
Are there any people online or did you only play offline?
I changed my PSN username several months ago so my old MLB 16 profile and cards got wiped out. I tried to get a BR game in (really late at night), but stopped searching after several minutes so I just played Conquest on high difficulty with the free bronze and silver cards (rookie A-Rod) that the game starts you off with. As of right now, according to the MLB 16 community market, there are 742 players online for MLB 16 which isn't bad for a 4 year old game. Pitch speeds were good, they had replay challenges in this game (no option to turn them off though), and umpires had different strike zones. Some blatant strikes would be called balls and some obvious balls would be called strikes with no option for perfect umpire. Fielding felt smoother too in the infield. Seems like the more animations SDS introduced in the later games, the more the game felt sloppy. The main thing is that I'm actually having fun with MLB 16 rather than MLB 20 where thinking about MLB 20 is more fun than playing MLB 20.

The game is playing exactly as intended.
Let it sink in first....

too funny a lot of you werent around in 12, 13, 14 days where online guy was busy making paranormal activity instead

I'm glad I read this before attempting online play. I'm having enough fun playing moments or grinding showdowns RTTS and March to October..

18 was horrendous. I literally quit playing. Just terrible.
My favorite is still 17 even though menus were painfully slow. Online stat missions created so many diverse lineups and that Griffey program was such a beast but so rewarding.
I think 18 had the flip a billion hats and jerseys thing too. So bad.

I dont understand the hate for the hat and Jersey exchanges. They were the easiest stub making scheme ever. I wish they would bring them back.
