Is It Just Me Or Is Hitting Way Easier This Year?
-
I’m into my 6th season as a left fielder and I usually up the difficulty for batting as my career progresses (rookie when I’m a rookie, all-star when I make the all star team etc, etc)
But this year I’ve had to put it up to hall of fame fairly early in my career and most of the time it’s still way too easy.
My power and contact stats are all exactly 80 but I’m still in triple crown territory and I’ve just won 3 WS back to back with the Diamondbacks.
I’m going to have to put it up to legend difficulty for more realism but on last year’s game hall of fame was the perfect balance for me and legend was [censored] near impossible and that was with all my hitting stats maxed out.
Anyone else finding it way easier this year?

Yeah, same here. I’ve been playing at the rookie level for the past few years (I guess I was too old and slow for higher levels). My batting average was usually around .270–.320 during those seasons. That was fine with me—relatively realistic and not too frustrating. Go up one level, and I almost never made contact.
In MLB The Show 26, I'm currently in my first full year in the majors (~120 games played in the season), and my batting average is just under .400. Games with 3 or more hits are no problem. My player has a contact rating of 80, but all other key hitting stats are barely developed. Now I'm thinking about leveling him up, since these are great stats, but

I find it a little harder, or maybe I just suck more. Last season I couldn't seem to hit under .400 in AA/AAA and I had a 3B that was leading the Majors in HRs in his 2nd year in the pros. This year I was hitting mid 300s in Minors, I have 1 pro and can't seem to hit over .270.
