My annual assessment of this game
-
This game reminds me exactly of 18. It comes to a point in events where I don’t know what I am supposed to do hitting wise because nothing makes sense. Good contact in the pci lazy pop ups and little choppers. To me it feels like pitcher confidence and/or energy may be factored in way too much with the result.

Yup, another good point. It's hard to get hitters out too. Just like in 18.

I stopped reading after you mentioned the only online you’ve done is playing event games today.

Cause none of this stuff happens in any other gameplay? You really want to go that route?

You wanna question my knowledge and experience in regards to this franchise as a whole? Events are fine to use as a sample.

I’m going the route of not bothering to read a wall of text titled “my annual assessment…” when it’s based on only handful of online games. Yes.

Question for you: Do you feel that these issues are intentional due to this being the first year for Switch? Meaning, do you feel that they dumbed down the gameplay for Switch players?

Or maybe he does this every year at the beginning and writes up his assessment of how the game is playing early on.

Not just a handful, a whole day of playing. I've been doing this assessment every year in the exact same fashion, and I have identified issues that were at some point in time generally accepted by the community as a whole each and every time. Sorry if I didn't meet your criteria.

Honestly I don't think there's a correlation there. They are just trying to find balance in the game within their (limited) perception of possibilities and have yet to find it. But now I feel like they're making the same mistakes that they clearly didn't learn from, which is disappointing.

Thanks Raes. I haven’t bought the game yet this year, and I appreciate your honest assessment.

Contact hitting… That’s what I was talking about when I posted that a crutch from last year made its return… I just didn’t want to spread it. Everytime I square a ball up with contact swing it’s 103mph or more and when I don’t it’s a bloop single

Breathe. You don’t need validation from everyone. It’s not personal. Everything you said may be true. I just don’t care to read it because I have the ability to think. You know, small sample sizes.

I definitely agree with most of this, I'm just not feeling the MLB 18 comparison much at all. Feels like a mix of 19 and 20. Pitches not going where you placed them with good input was way more of a 20 problem than 18. Hitting feels like pre HR/9 patch 19 more than 18 by a longshot

In all fairness, I probably am. I'm willing to bet the house that I've been playing this game for a lot longer than most of the people on this forum and at a consistently higher level too.

I respectfully disagree with that statement, 18 was notorious for forcing offspeed pitches into the strike zone. There was even a gameplay mechanic that forced you to throw your primary pitch once every 3 pitches in order to prevent penalties.
