    The randomness and bs in the game makes you clench your butthole every pitch hoping it doesn’t hang or your fielder actually catches it lol. I personally have t had but 1 of these “18-16 “ type games. I’m 36-13 in RS but still feel like I suck bc I stop playing at around the 600 level. The 700 and 800 rewards suck so I could care less to try for WS. I maybe could squeeze in to WS but it’s not that important to me. I want that Griffey, but that’s it. My era is around 3 and I’m batting 315. I feel like I suck at hitting so I’m not sure how the average is so high. I normally win 4-2 or 3-1. The gameplay is trash but better than 18, I just wish hitters with less power were more viable. I’d never put Gwynn on my squad and he was one of the best hitters of all time. On this game I feel like he would be a weak fly machine

    I'd love honest responses..

    I can't see how anyone who plays regularly can say its enjoyable. The gameplay is so poor, even for the Show

    Every basic aspect of the game is majorly flawed and its so obvious its truly shameful

    Who has fun playing ranked seasons??

    " Not I " said the Cat.
    " Not I " said the Mouse.
    " Not I " said Trevor May

    Trevor May is the whole reason we saw a defense patch.

    I wish somehow sds could let May test it during development and then he gives us his honest opinion.

    At this point its.... May > Developers on how "realistic" gameplay is as a "simulation" baseball game. Get May on board and I would pre order product unseen with no new content just for the fact to experience a fully functioning version of the show..approved by a current Mlb player who just happened to be dissapointed in past gameplay.

    No, it’s nothing like it was in years past. As I only really play RS it formulates my view of the game as a whole and in my view, this is probably the worst edition of the show I’ve ever played and I’ve played every year since ‘16. It’s definitely now on a par with ‘18 in terms of gameplay quality and may even sink beyond that given enough time.
    You can’t pitch anywhere without batters making contact, you can’t reliably expect to have any success with good input, every game features a combined 15-20+ runs on 30-40 hits, even if you avoid Shippet, Good/Okay is absolutely out of control, terrible animations abound, outfielders are still dicey about fielding balls hit close to the base of outfield walls, hit variety is way down (unless you count the different types of home run under hit variety), ERAs are into the stratosphere, desync makes the game look terrible online, if not downright farcical at times, bunting is OP due to bad infield defending, outcomes and feedback - Both on the hitting and pitching sides - are totally random as opposed to being dictated by, or in many cases bearing any vague relation to, inputs and visual indicators of success, there are still issues with MLB stadiums dropping frames, the list is endless. None of this, unsurprisingly, makes for a great baseball experience.

    Well said!

    I definitely don't have fun playing anymore despite a solid run as of late. I had a potential 5-game winning streak ruined by the usual late-game comeback followed by a bug (forcing a position player to pitch despite that being a violation of MLB rules). I just want to get my record to 1 game over .500 and then I'll probably quit RS for the year or actually forever since I don't plan to buy next year's game unless there are major improvements.
