This is by far the most realistic hitting has been in quite a while. I can actually have fun with contact hitters.
Biggio with quirks is a menace

We should be allowed more than 1 wildcard. That’s my only concern moving forward. My TT is going to be screwed only having 1 wildcard all year.

That All star Trevor story mixed with all star captain Harper is going to be missed later in the game cycle

if nerfed means lowering the power def yes.
last few games balls I hit easily go out.
I am not playing this years game, so I don't know personally how it is working, but would it not be easier to either:
A - fix the issues caused by the field being way too tiny?
B - stop making everybody with 125 power?Those two issues combined cause way too many issues.

agreed on the power. the most bombs i have is with harry ford (4) and that gold 84 Dee Gordon has been one of my best hitters. easy liners over SS all day.

this game is much harder this year. all aspects, hitting fielding pitching. maybe i just need to get use to it. i am frustrated w/ hitting right now as someone said it's 'nerfed' but I welcome the challenge. it is more realistic but i dont know if that will translate to more fun in the long run. will wait and see.
I am only doing the WBC program moments right now. So those first round moments have been a real pain. in past games, i would have got thru those easy, but some of these I have to do like 20 times just to get thru. I think one reason is ratings seem to matter this year. These lower rated players should not have an easy time hitting hrs. I do feel like when I was doing the semi and final moments in WBC, the players were rated better and I was having more success.
I did all the WBC moments EXCEPT the 2 extra base hits with Joey Meneses, for some reason I just can't get it done.

So far I feel this is the best version of the game since probably 17. Hitting feels much more rewarding. I still see cheap hits which happens in baseball and should be in the game. What frustrated me most in previous years was bad contact resulting in really hard hit balls. Now if you make bad contact you may get a cheap hit once in a while but you are not crushing it. Only played about ten ranked games so still in all star but I’m assuming HOF will be even better.

Story is Core. Im going to lose Bard, Blackmon, and 96 Arenado and that’s just after the release content. Unless I wildcard one of them. And it’s not like the Rockies get much content to begin with (deservingly so) so I will definitely have holes in my bullpen losing one of the best bullpen arms we’ll get all year. But this system basically makes me not want my team to get any set cards, only core. Even if they aren’t top tier. I just want to use the players I like.

The field definitely doesn't feel tiny anymore, fielders don't cover ground like they used to,power is still there but it's different,maybe cause of how big the field seems.
Hitting feels great,we get annoyed cause it's not like it was ( the ball carrying and flying out) but I prefer it like this. -

Against the CPU, in Conquest, on Rookie/Veteran...
Power is nerfed. Warning track shots with 115 power perfect-perfect shots. Several.
CPU pitchers throw down the middle a lot less than last year.
Lots of perfect-perfect lineouts. Lots of them.
Too early to whine too much, but sheesh.
Also, love the changes made to Mini Seasons and RTTS.
I think the hitting feels the best in years. May need a slight buff to power but other than that I love getting singles over and over with contact hitters.
My biggest gripe is the CPU. They don’t swing the bat. They don’t consistently throw in the zone… and honestly that just makes it boring at times bc of the lack of action on the CPUs behalf lol

I am averaging 1 run a game, and that's barely in my conquest games on rookie

The game plays way better on AS. You should play Conquest at least on Veteran and move up from there. I know the timing windows are really small but if you play on higher levels than rookie, it will make you a better hitter in the long run. Good luck.
