@raesone_psn said in My annual assessment of this game:
So I've been playing offline since release, grinding all the programs and what not. So during that time I always keep my opinion to myself, because we all know offline usually plays fine and you don't really run into the issues that could spoil your experience.
Today I've been playing the event all day long. And it started out okay I guess, some slugfests here and there and just getting my feet wet. Nothing out of the ordinary. But the more I played, the more recurring themes I encountered.
First and foremost, the amount of bloopies/flukies or whatever you wanna call them are simply ridiculous. I understand that it is a part of baseball and it is totally fine if they happen occasionally. But the volume of bad swings that get rewarded are just out of hand at this point. We all like hit variety and we all want contact hitters to be usable, but not if this is the trade off. And that's what I feel is happening here, these hits are a thing because of the complaints regarding lack of hit variety in the past in my opinion.
What I also noticed is that the game, once again, forces my perfectly executed pitches into the strike zone. This was a thing in 18 and it feels the exact same to me in that sense. I have given up staggering amounts of homeruns on offspeed pitches that I spotted almost in the dirt and executed perfectly, yet somehow ended up in the bottom of the strike zone. Why are perfectly executed pitches being punished? What's the point of mastering PPP, which was introduced to widen the skill gap mind you, if you're gonna reduce that skill gap once more by adding randomness to the pitching outcome?
Then I've noticed that contact hitting is broken. Again. Try it for yourself to have a laugh. I played 5 games in a row swinging with the contact button exclusively and I hit 430ft homeruns and got 110+ mph exit velocities all the same. We can no longer see our opponent's feedback, but I wouldn't be surprised if many of the players in this community do the exact same thing. Since it widens the timing windows, allows for more solid contact and still gives you the same exit velocities.. why would you ever normal swing or even power swing?
Then there is the overall performance of the game in terms of fluidity and choppiness. I play on PS5 on performance mode and I played in a handful of created stadiums and major league parks that once again induce frame drops and choppiness all around. As if I'm playing on my vanilla PS4 all over again. Try playing an online game at Target Field and you'll see what I mean.
Another thing that seriously irritated me is the amount of weak flyballs and even pop ups on swings where the ball is entirely in my buckshot, albeit in the top part of it. But that's what the game wants us to do, no? Lift the ball with power hitters? So that's what I'm aiming for and I get okay hits for weak pop ups. Again, this reminded me of MLBTS 18.
Last but not least (for now) is the amount of freeze offs STILL HAPPENING. Like how on earth can you not find the issues to this problem for all these years? I can't help but think that these people just don't care or have given up on this problem like "it's part of the game, get used to it". That's unacceptable and laughable in a sense.
I have tried my hardest to find some good things to say as well. I guess I do like the sound off the bat, especially during a perfect/perfect. I also like the fact that fielders have more urgency and you're able to gun a lot more people now with good throwing input. But that's about it.
I'm sorry, but the game is just not very good. Again. I hate that it gives me MLBTS 18 vibes, but that's really what it does. Hopefully the upcoming gameplay patch that has been confirmed will fix many of these issues. If not, I probably won't play very long.
Edit:
One thing I forgot to mention, the PCI anchor. This feature was brought because people wanted to be able to have a sensitivity slider for the PCI. This is not that! The feature is terrible because it is basically guess pitch lite. People can just sit in a certain part of the zone and take away a whole part of the plate. I noticed that some people do this and don't swing until the ball comes into that part of the zone. I don't see how this has anything to do with skill and I think it's a terrible feature that should be removed asap or should be barred from online play.I don’t believe you are playing the next Gen version if you are able to choose performance mode. I could be wrong since I’m on xbox, but on the xbox side you can only change the graphics settings on the old Gen version.
PS5 let’s you set performance mode in the accessories setting. I have not noticed a difference at all, though.

You can't do it in game, but in the PS5 settings menu. Why would anyone lie about this anyway?

Something is wrong with your brain if you take that comment as an attack accusing you of lying.
Read it to yourself again slowly and please point out any portion of that which would lead you to interpret that comment as an accusation of lying.

You literally said "I don't believe you are playing the next gen version", while I made it really clear in my review that I am playing on PS5. Not sure how else you expected me to take it, but non offense taken either way.

Indeed. Textbook narcissists who project their harmful traits onto other people and people who for some reason think everyone creates duplicate accounts to argue with them. My posting style is nothing like Raes, anyway, lol. After how your last visit went you really shouldn't be throwing shade at anyone in this thread anymore. Your arguments were mostly invalidated and silenced. Should just bow out with dignity.
Some of you really struggle with just answering basic questions and self-asessment.

Lol. Here we go. Have it.
Bring on the gaslighting.

@raesone_psn said in My annual assessment of this game:
I struggle to get people out too. Strikeouts are very rare. Again, this is exactly like 18. Some people I played are fouling everything off, pitches at the back of their heels that they can somehow foul tip. And of course this all will lead to that one pitch that hangs where you give up the homerun.
I’ve noticed 3 common outcomes. The one you mentioned above…a non PCI bloop or blast….or a rocket line out.
Outer PCI needs to go.

What I also noticed is that the game, once again, forces my perfectly executed pitches into the strike zone. This was a thing in 18 and it feels the exact same to me in that sense. I have given up staggering amounts of homeruns on offspeed pitches that I spotted almost in the dirt and executed perfectly, yet somehow ended up in the bottom of the strike zone. Why are perfectly executed pitches being punished? What's the point of mastering PPP, which was introduced to widen the skill gap mind you, if you're gonna reduce that skill gap once more by adding randomness to the pitching outcome?
Then I've noticed that contact hitting is broken. Again. Try it for yourself to have a laugh. I played 5 games in a row swinging with the contact button exclusively and I hit 430ft homeruns and got 110+ mph exit velocities all the same. We can no longer see our opponent's feedback, but I wouldn't be surprised if many of the players in this community do the exact same thing. Since it widens the timing windows, allows for more solid contact and still gives you the same exit velocities.. why would you ever normal swing or even power swing?
Then there is the overall performance of the game in terms of fluidity and choppiness. I play on PS5 on performance mode and I played in a handful of created stadiums and major league parks that once again induce frame drops and choppiness all around. As if I'm playing on my vanilla PS4 all over again. Try playing an online game at Target Field and you'll see what I mean.
Another thing that seriously irritated me is the amount of weak flyballs and even pop ups on swings where the ball is entirely in my buckshot, albeit in the top part of it. But that's what the game wants us to do, no? Lift the ball with power hitters? So that's what I'm aiming for and I get okay hits for weak pop ups. Again, this reminded me of MLBTS 18.
Last but not least (for now) is the amount of freeze offs STILL HAPPENING. Like how on earth can you not find the issues to this problem for all these years? I can't help but think that these people just don't care or have given up on this problem like "it's part of the game, get used to it". That's unacceptable and laughable in a sense.
I have tried my hardest to find some good things to say as well. I guess I do like the sound off the bat, especially during a perfect/perfect. I also like the fact that fielders have more urgency and you're able to gun a lot more people now with good throwing input. But that's about it.
I'm sorry, but the game is just not very good. Again. I hate that it gives me MLBTS 18 vibes, but that's really what it does. Hopefully the upcoming gameplay patch that has been confirmed will fix many of these issues. If not, I probably won't play very long.
Edit:
One thing I forgot to mention, the PCI anchor. This feature was brought because people wanted to be able to have a sensitivity slider for the PCI. This is not that! The feature is terrible because it is basically guess pitch lite. People can just sit in a certain part of the zone and take away a whole part of the plate. I noticed that some people do this and don't swing until the ball comes into that part of the zone. I don't see how this has anything to do with skill and I think it's a terrible feature that should be removed asap or should be barred from online play.I don’t believe you are playing the next Gen version if you are able to choose performance mode. I could be wrong since I’m on xbox, but on the xbox side you can only change the graphics settings on the old Gen version.
You can't do it in game, but in the PS5 settings menu. Why would anyone lie about this anyway?
Something is wrong with your brain if you take that comment as an attack accusing you of lying.
Read it to yourself again slowly and please point out any portion of that which would lead you to interpret that comment as a an accusation of lying.
You're either inferring he is lying or is confused (less likely). What other way is there really to take it?
Lol my man Raes second account
Lol you don't possibly think I care even slightly enough about any of this to go through the hassle of making a second account just to give my perspectives some support? Just raising the idea gives us an insight in your psyche though, weirdo.

So I've been playing offline since release, grinding all the programs and what not. So during that time I always keep my opinion to myself, because we all know offline usually plays fine and you don't really run into the issues that could spoil your experience.

You literally said "I don't believe you are playing the next gen version", while I made it really clear in my review that I am playing on PS5. Not sure how else you expected me to take it, but non offense taken either way.
I think I may have seen that you are from Germany or something…..could be a language barrier here.
That phrase does not have the literal meaning of I don’t believe. It’s kind of equivalent to maybe you are playing the last Gen version…..
