<![CDATA[MLB THE SHOW 26 IS GARBAGE.]]>I dont understand how PERFECT/PERFECT SWINGS ARE MAINLY OUTS. I have Good swings on fast balls right down the middle and its a lazy pop up or ground out. I don't think they even played this before releasing it. No matter what I've done, My RTTS PLAYER pops out or grounds out every other bat, I get lucky and go 3 for 3 and the next 5 games I go 1-5 or 0-4.

The pitching is a randomized sequence, the ball doesn't go where you place it and will teleport right down the middle. You can be having a great pitching outting and then once my team scores, the cpu comes out and hits everything and anything. The same pitches I pop out or ground out on, they hit a double or homerun.

Also, don't get me started on the Cpu ALWAYS COMING BACK AND WINNING. I was up 13-2 in the 7th inning, I ended up losing 15-12 hahaha MAKE IT MAKE SENSE?

THEY DEFINITELY DID NOT PLAY TEST THIS GAME, THEY COPY AND PASTED LAST YEARS GAME WITH JUST A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS... You have a full year to make this game, AND YOU STILL SCREW IT UP, even though, its been the same game for 5 years straight...

People say this all the time. It’s simply not true. Perfect perfects are typically a hit more than 80% of the time.

Its simply not true MLB uses a stat called ''Perfect-Perfect''. What is true is Sony uses a thing called ''Perfect-Perfect''.

Maybe Perfect-Perfect is being mistaken for Barrelled Bats 80% of the time.

You lost, man. It sucks but it happens. I lost 2 straight to the Dodgers on veteran. But it happens. Hot and cold streaks happen
