My biggest problem remain pitching! To me is never been that random...doesn't matter if i use analog or meter, a perfect input is not being rewarded!
Balls always tend to go down the middle, and again i played every mlb game and is never been that bad!
I would understand if im using pitchers with bad control, but come on now we have 95 control guys with perfect inputs and the ball goes nowhere near the spot...over and over and over!
I really hope it will be addressed because if its not after 2 months i would think SDS is fine with this and that doesn't make any sense to me... -

This keeps happening and it’s really pissing me off. Why are they selecting this animation, taking control of my defender away from me and making the outfielder back off? I keep losing because you’re handing runs to my opponents on this kind of garbage. Not to mention these fantastic
Early/okay home runs that seem prevalent now.
I can’t hit regardless, that’s been a constant for years and I’m over it, that’s just me, but now I can’t pitch, nor can I make routine plays on easy fly balls because the game simply will not allow me to. I mean I can just quit out and hand my opponent a win before a pitch is thrown if that suits the game better, save the trouble of orchestrating all this nonsense and cut to the chase. -

Lost one game 13-2, he couldn't stop hitting home runs. Hopefully just a one off, coz that won't make for a very fun game anymore
That’s fine, I gave up nine runs in the 8th to lose my last game by four. I couldn’t pitch anywhere that wasn’t yanked out for a homer. I think this patch will be a major boost for directional hitters.
Lol everything always benefits directional hitters with you
LOL feel free to check my post history for the many, many posts where I wax lyrical about directional hitting. Think you’ve got me confused with someone else.

@JChilds213 Oh, I’ve seen it all and then some. This is definitely the most broken version of MLB the Show ever, yet somehow it’s still better than ‘18. I think that’s only down to the content at this point though, ‘18 had the most horrific content I’ve ever seen in a video game in my life. I just can’t fathom why we have such random animations being selected by the defense, players running through solid objects, boundaries incorrectly defined, swing feedback is insane, I can hit a fastball late for a fly ball to extreme RF with a righty and get Good/Good feedback, yet put a fastball directly in the centre of the PCI with good timing and get a negative exit velo and Good/Okay feedback. Early swings are better than good swings, late swings are often better than good swings, perfect/perfect is a random indicator for success, with no guarantees of reward for doing everything optimally, defending against bunting is a mess, desync is as bad as I’ve ever seen it and the game is just a home run derby simulator at this point in time.

Have played 2 RS games so far and I must say hitting is far to forgiving now. I’ve noticed both myself & my opponents getting more ticky tacky hits. Both games i was able to score 10+ runs in when before I’d average more around 4-8. Imo you took the skill gap out and now games are going to be slugfests especially with how pitching is right now.

Eh maybe...don't really care enough to check. either way

Exit velocities are slower for me. Contact is more consistent but now the majority of my contact is good ok regardless of where the ball seems to be in the pci. Are the rest of you crushing the ball now?

I really hope this patch doesnt stick around long. Making batting easier doesnt fix the skill gap at all. It just makes the game a coin flip of who breaks the opposing pitchers confidence first. What's wrong with a fair competitive game. I don't want to be rewarded for bad timing or mediocre placement. quit trying to let everyone get a trophy. Obviously this is just my opinion. Hopefully I'm not the minority.

Sounds like they want everyone to be competitive to get more money coming in ... Sports games shouldn't be that way, it should be skilled based, of course you expect some sim aspects and can accept that, but mostly skilled based...

Just for the sake of my sanity, did anyone else’s hitting get worse, not better? My runs and hits per game are way down and I can’t hit anything solid. My pitchers are getting decimated, and I was average before. The only kind of hits that’s increased is jam shots and dribblers.
If I’m the only one I’ll chalk it up to a slump. -
Same garbage, different year. I'm an offline player and out of the box this game was absolutely fantastic. And two months later, it's absolute bullocks. The defense is the worst the series has ever seen. This latest patch has made the cpu totally overpowered. Game was solid on 1.10. I'm tired of this trash year after year. I bought a PS4 solely for this game and it's degraded year after year. These [censored] developers listen to the [censored] fanboy children who can't hit a lick and want the game to be easy and so they cater to the wrong demographic all to make an extra buck. I'm disgusted to the point that it's just not worth it anymore. Hurts to say this may be my last iteration of the game. Not gonna continue donating $65 per year for garbage.

I've never hit so many early/good homers until this patch. Hell, even late/goods are homers now. It's open season with homeruns. Give the pitchers some love for once in this game.

The game plays just fine, if not great, offline.

Only thing patch did was allow more ridiculous foul balls on poor timing and more late jammed very early base hits.

The same gameplay issues that plague online play are prevalent in offline play. It's the inconsistent contact results, fielding blunders, and perfect pitch releases going haywire. That's the core of the game and those problems exist regardless of what mode you're playing.
