Is it just me or is the hype not as strong for the game this year?

I could be wrong but I suspect there is less hype because some folks have had enough of buying a reskin of the same game for full price.
Last year, I was so hyped, pre-ordered, was active in a league… This year, I’m not buying, let go of league play, and am generally happier.
It gets tiring convincing yourself that the gameplay is fun.
Just my .02 cents. I hope all of you who are playing this year have all the fun!
I agree with this. I'm usually on pins and needles waiting for the early release. The game just feels like a restart of your cards binder every year. Grind grind grind, get annoyed then start over next year. Might be time to move on with life without video game baseball.
Play the long game - give franchise mode a go. You’ll probably end up playing for the same amount of time, whilst playing a whole season that will (hopefully) be rich in stats and subtle storylines and the best part is no lag, no crappy opponents, no facing the same pitchers ad-nauseam and you can pause at any time to do something else.
I cannot guarantee however that outcomes haven’t been balanced to keep you competitive. It has felt like that since TS18.
I’ve been playing franchise in Legend with Orioles and I have had a lot of fun for real…

I wasn’t going to buy the game but then they announced Howard, Utley, and coop mode. Now I can’t wait for this game to come out on Friday
