I think people holding out hope for the Konami game are going to be disappointed. It looks great, but the gameplay is awful. It was a huge letdown in my opinion.

no it's not. the game is hard to hit with. it's not easy like SDS makes their game.

plus the one on ps5 is a demo version. the full version will play different.

My opinion of the game has nothing to do with it being hard. I would prefer a game that was harder and not arcade like.

Nah, I think that's because you've been conditioned to SDS's wacky ball physics/flight physics. It's significantly more challenging to square anything up, and the result of the swing actually matches the contact itself.

It's a bit less arcadey, which will throw you for a loop if you're expecting gameplay like MLBTS. I'm not out here saying it's gonna blow the doors off or anything, I think personally it's a bit better in terms of a baseball sim and worth another look- this time with the full game.

exactly! the ps5 version they released is very HARD to hit. you have to actually read the pitches unlike SDS where they make everything easy for the user.

Ppl want arcadey like the show and then when they can't do well in the other game, it automatically isn't good. lol . never their fault!

They still make Yakuza games over in Japan that sell like hotcakes. They play like the Yakuza games I played 20 years ago. Japan loves arcade like games, not realistic type games. I would love to see them succeed. The odds are lower than a Ballin is Habit pack.

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS the combat is the only reason I have played it yet. I payed the first one, spent about 5 hours trying to figure out the combat, and then quit.

It looks amazing tho.

You aren’t wrong tbh. It’s still a indie company so the game is janky in ways and combat is one. But it’s also a indie company, so the devs make one game and it’s full heart and soul stuff. It has one of the most immersive storylines I’ve played in a while. Which normally I don’t like unless I can play how I want, and my god can you do whatever you want in that game lol.

Also wolves were killing me until I upgraded my skills for combat. That is a huge part of the game and a bit annoying. You’re kind of meant to be fodder at the start so when you meet the random NPCs they teach you things your character doesn’t know yet. It’s sort of by design to be really tough to kill anything because you can walk through the game right to the boss kinda like Fallout games.

Me too. At like 177 hrs and still missing 12 top live series diamonds including all the heavy hitters like Judge and Ohtani.

Best pull from a pack was Skenes. Still numerous vouchers short of 99 miggy. I know it’s supposed to be a grind but this feels miles away.

That pretty much sums it up.

My favorite part might be Chipper collection. I have done almost everything you can do in the game and have 2 of the cards needed to get him out of the 12. Yea 2. Absolutely comical at this point.

It looks amazing tho.

i'm teetering on this as well. I'll never be like....GOOD BY SDS....i'm just not putting games on hold anymore that i want to play because i feel like i'll fall behind. Its started with RE, i've been playing more and more of D4, Forza next week, GTA 6, the blood of dawnwalker, Starfox remake looks good. I also need to play the first 2 entries of the FF7 remake. I'll play the show when i can or better yet when i want.

THIS…DD used to be worth putting everything else on the back burner. It’s just not anymore.

KCD II was fantastic but you’ll need hundreds of hours lol

My favorite game last year by far. It is a big one though
