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.
AI foul balls in this game are ridiculous. I'll be playing a game of conquest, bring in my diamond closer, to face the bottom of a teams order with guys that are bronze at best, and they'll have 10 pitch at bats. No matter what I throw and where I place it.
Also ..hitting. I notice a theme this year, unlike previous seasons. In extra innings, if my first hitter doesn't get the runner home, and just advances him to third on a sacrifice, i'll go down 1-2-3 every time. It's like clockwork. Move the runner to 3rd, less than two outs, no matter the hitter or his ratings...weak ground balls to the corner infielders everytime, holding the runner at third. With good or perfect contact. Every. Single. Time.Yeah it's really bad, and online it's even worse because human players will move the PCI towards the zone where the pitch goes and will be in the proximity to foul it off every single time. It's a huge problem because it keeps at bats going forever, until you hang a pitch that's crushed. That happened in 18 as well, hence the constant reference to it.

I like the comparison to 18.
17 was a big leap and one of the best MLBTS if not the best. 18 was a letdown on 17.
21 was also a big leap into next gen and with covid going on, they really did perform a miracle getting it out on 4 consoles and having it play pretty good from day 1 and no framerate issues on next gen. But 22 so far is not on the same level when it comes to quality and functionality as 21 was.
22 lacks the attention to detail that 21 had.
17/18

21/22Yeah I strongly feel like the game has regressed compared to last year as well. Which has been a recurring theme for this franchise too, instead of maintaining the good aspects and build on that moving forward, they always seem to try and fix things that didn't need any fixing and break key aspects of the game in the process. I'll never understand why they keep doing this.

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?
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.
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.
Anytime.
Anytime? That's your response? Okay.
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.
lol acts as if he's the resident expert on the game
I think that WS icon is getting to his head

I was referring to the guy who said he didn’t read your post just because you said you’ve only played event games so far.
I enjoyed your review. I never played 18 but watched a lot of streams of it. I was glad I skipped that year. Haven’t hopped online this year yet but hitting feels very different so far. It’s either perfect/perfect or off-PCI flukes. No in between.
I’m worried how this game is going to play when we all have 100 contact/power at most positions.
The pitch drift was definitely a huge problem in 19 too.

Oh okay gotcha. But the Owl guy and the Bob guy with the WS icon are on the same page going against me. Owl made that commented directed towards me.
And yeah I agree with what you say.

18 comparison is looking good although it is early. Seeing a lot of good inputs go down the middle of the plate. Also it was super grindy to get a real good team (immortals). Lot of grind in this game for not a lot of reward so far.

I think this sum up the problem and I'm glad I'm not imagining these things.

Yeah true although I intentionally left out the grind aspect because to me it's not AS much of a dealbreaker as the gameplay is. But I would encourage anyone to keep playing and find out for themselves just how bad it really is in online gameplay. Because it is and I don't think anyone can deny that with a straight face.

Well heck yall( (Im southern) SDS is encouraging the cheese factory they call ranked seasons .Even got a bat skin for it this year. Ranked sells stubbs but the only thing rank about it is the stats that smell a little odd. I play it occasionally and nothing ever changes. As for on line rated, how is a guy batting .076 with an era of 7.00 won 300 games and lost 5 ? Never have gotten an explanation there. Check those leaderboards and do the math. It aint rocket science.Take 20 people to rack up all them wins vrs CPU in a month some got already. What in physical laws of nature am I missing?

Man, I played like 4 event games and everything I squared up was a lineout. This is the first time I’m seriously considering requesting a refund to Sony.
I’m starting to become annoyed when I see hits rated from 7-10 with JL timing… Must be contact swinging all over again
Don’t bother asking. You downloaded and played it. They won’t issue you a refund.

Question for you @raesONE_PSN. Have you played any BR yet? I just started this event and I'm seeing these things an extreme amount worse than I was in BR. Like genuine night and day difference. I could be reading too much into it but seems like there may be some slider nonsense going on here

Way to many stacked teams in events, BR always plays great because it’s not full of stacked teams with high attribute player’s.
