Update 1.10 Discussion

I had one last night that I hadn't seen before. My second baseman fields a grounder and I press first base to throw there. Instead of throwing, he takes off in a sprint all the way to first and beats the runner there. Not sure what in the world was going on. I just had to laugh.

This game is awful SDS. Seriously it is your worst mlb the show version.

Yeah. It's really hard to understand this too. All the years this game has been around. This is an anniversary year so you'd think they'd put some effort into a "special" edition , plus everyone has the coronavirus blues, no baseball to watch, so you'd think they'd give the fans and players a bone. Sad.

No, MLB ‘18 won’t give up the title that easily. This is still better than ‘18. Barely.

[bhall09_PSN]

It just happened again. My 3B fields a grounder and I try to throw to second to start a double play. Instead, he runs the ball all the way to second and the runner was safe. What the heck???? And yes, my second baseman was standing on the bag waiting for the throw.

idk what yall did to the hitting but fix it. Good Okay when the entire ball is in the PCI is not acceptable. Also online swing timing was tweeked because i am not late on everything including off speeds. Went from hitting .400+ with multiple players down to .280 since this patch

So it was a good patch then I see, you're actually hitting at a realistic batting average at .280? You should congratulate SDS for their hard work bud.

[WestCoast2171]

Just lost a game because Trout, who was camped out under a flyball on the warning track, didn’t acknowledge the ball until it passed over his right shoulder (I have the video)...SDS still doing its normal bang-up job?

[maskedgrappler_PSN]

Just had Kevin Kiermaier stand at the wall as a ball came down and hit the wall behind him, then he jumps out to play the carom as the ball is already 25 feet from the wall.

DOES THIS FIX AWFUL GAMEPLAY?

1.10? No, of course not. It’s a small patch that fixed just a couple of the many issues with fielding animations. The gameplay is awful for many reasons, including, but not limited to; inconsistent and inaccurate pitching, inconsistent and unforgiving swing timing windows, inconsistent and unforgiving pitch speeds, inconsistent and inaccurate batted ball outcomes and swing feedback, inconsistent and inaccurate defensive plays which would simply never happen in a real baseball game, such as crow hopping, glove pumping and left handed outfielders turning to throw right handed, before turning again to throw left handed, costing valuable time and surrendering bases unnecessarily, inaccurate calls, lag and desync causing strange occurrences such as players fielding balls eight feet off the base for a put out, which is still a put out anyway, foul bunts still being live balls in play which can result in outs, players running through solid objects such as walls and stands to make catches in the field, balls incorrectly being called home runs or ground rule doubles when hit off the wall and staying within play boundaries, inconstant inaccurate check swing calls, multiple, almost identical versions of the same cards being released every week, bunts being OP due to broken defense, steals being borderline OP with certain players, players being pulled off bases on soft toss throws and many more issues which I’ve probably missed off this list.

Now, most of these issues - In fact practically ALL of these issues - Have not been mentioned by SDS. They don’t care about them. Not even on the radar to be looked at, much less patched. So how did you expect 1.10 to fix awful gameplay? Make absolutely no mistake about it, we are all stuck with terrible gameplay for the duration of the year. There is no patch that could begin to fix the majority of the issues with this game that make gameplay so awful. It’s in the very DNA of the game, it’s so integral, it’s beyond repair. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

[maskedgrappler_PSN]

My absolute favorite fielding play of the year so far, it was probably before 1.10, but I'm sure it could still happen, was when my 1st baseman fielded a ground ball and instead of taking literally 2 steps to step on the bag, instead chose to throw to the pitcher who was just coming off the mound, obviously the runner was safe.

[EmoneyBags06_PSN]

@Victor_SDS I know this is not a glaring issue, but I have submitted multiple feedback reports on this matter. The Under Armour compression sleeve appears on every single live-series player and some flashbacks that should have the Nike compression sleeve equipped to match the rest of their equipment. In example some of the players like Gary Sanchez, Cody Bellinger, POTM Didi, the list goes on... I hope this can be updated, thank you!

While this is minor, I agree with Emoney, just unlock equipment and jersey numbers so we can make our players look correct. There is no reason this cant be done. Just because it is online doesnt mean that the players equipment and numbers have to be the EXACT same. If you arent going to fix the gameplay we could at least have fun with customization. I want to fix all of these spring training jersey numbers, bad colorways and generic equipment.

It's crazy people say the game is fine but when you actually see the list of things broken in the game. You really realize how bad the game really is

[ComebackLogic]

Oh yeah, base running went nuts as well. They’re running on pop flies that are caught, resulting in double and triple plays, yet won’t run on a hit into the gap. Sometimes they just turn around unprompted and go back to where they started.

[lostdragon39_PSN]

More worried about players earning double points ...no,I was not one of those...than fixing ohhh....[censored] Fielding,base running, hitting and the 2years straight horse st pitching.
🤨 Zero argument for it. If I nail the stop,trail and nail the hoop..the fking ball should go exactly where I want it
NOT the other side of the plate️️

Victor can you confirm that the fielding improvement also affect infielders?

Yes, many of these improvements also effect infielders.

Victor, why aren't you fixing winning teams being tagged with losses when the game freezes and continually failing to crack down on online cheating?

Because you turned your Playstation off and disconnected from the game. Thats why you got the loss. Get that into your brain cartman

[vagimon_PSN]

I went a few days with no fielding issues whatsoever, but today I had a handful of instances where my outfielders wouldn’t lock on to fly balls and my infielders wouldn’t lock onto pop ups. Weird that it would just randomly happened today.
