Here is my post patch experience so far.
Disclaimer: ALL these clips were taken post patch in the past couple of days!
@Collin_SDS watch these clips and inform your patch team. Nobody wants to pay big bucks to complete collections and make progress with this game if our cards can’t lock on to a fly ball in the year 2020. You guys are a joke man especially with all the other GLARING issues like sinker timing windows and pitchers throwing the ball nowhere close the where you spotted it. most of us will be done with this game by June... MANY MANY MANY issues this game has. If you guys need a gameplay tester I’d be more than willing to jump onto the team and test the game before releasing this broken garbage every year. Sony fire these guys!
Pitching broken
Fielding broken
Sinker timing windows brokenUnusual way to gain employment with them, let us know how you go
Called sarcasm buddy they obviously don’t test the game. That’s why I said that.

I just dont get why the fielding is such an issue (and such an issue to fix). These issues weren't in past games. The biggest thing, to me, is the continued botching of routine ground balls. I haven't had quite as many issues in the OF as others, but have had some. But the amount of infield errors is ridiculous.
Here yee...... Here yee...... Infielders bobbling ground balls is the new error trend. Its horrendous post patch.
-
Couple of times fielders have turned their glove hands at a 90° angle to avoid grabbing a ground ball. Fielders showing less urgency in the outfield leading to missed balls and letting runs score.

Are there any plans to patch hitting? I don’t really have any issues with fielding, but facing Ohtani and all these horrible outlier quirk pitchers in RS while swinging a 300lb bat underwater is making me want to give up on the game completely if I’m honest. I’ve not heard a single thing about hitting changes since you dropped a patch that nobody asked for shortly after launch and totally messed everything up.
Probably not since it seems like hitting is working exactly how they want it to so it is a frustrating experience leading more people to pay money through rage.

My fielders glitched twice in 1 play, first Gleyber not moving then Soto not locking on:

Holly dude, why is your pitch speeds so slow? That would totally throw me off so much, I've never seen it that slow...did you lower Pitch Speeds all the way down? or is this how it is in those beginner levels like Veteran and All-Star?...seems like its in slow motion.
Yeah Josh, it's called events and unfortunately if I want rewards then I have to play on it
A reward? Like a virtual pat on the back or you get cards and stuff? this is what noobs look forward to in The Show?
I know you are trying to be funny...so here is a little observation...you are overusing noobs....casuals a bit much as well..but noobs way too much..you need to work on your material

Dont really know where you guys get this theory from, most people would be more likely to just walk away if a game is rage inducing. I'd be far more likely to spend money on a game if I'm enjoying it.

The game was perfect early release weekend, is it possible to unpatch it back to square 1 and start over fixing only minor bugs/glitches??? Everything seems way to random now. It seemed more user input relative at launch and the hitting engine/ physics were great. The game was so much fun! Am keeping the faith, difficult situation with everything else going on. Good luck SDS! My suggestion would be to nurf the individual pitch confidence effect or sensitivity, also reduce hanging meatballs on good timed releases and go back to day 1 Hitting. Basically in slider terms +1 user timing (hitting) and +1 on both pitcher accuracy options. -1 pitch speed differential(either fb's down one or OS up 1. Nothin but love, i know it's not that easy, peace

Yeah, this^. I can’t imagine that many people are enjoying the gameplay this year to be honest. I’ve been around a while and played a ton of online and not only am I struggling with the game, but even when I win a game and I hit decently, this game isn’t fun. There’s no sense of “Let’s put MLB The Show on the PS4 and chill for a while.” It’s “Right, I’m gonna play MLB The Show. FFS. Time to get really tense, frustrated and annoyed.”
If anyone’s played RS and seen the way people are swinging out of their shoes as early as possible, check swinging on every single pitch they don’t go around on and the high rate at which early swings are rewarded compared to good and even perfect, I’m sure they’d agree that the game isn’t in a great place right now. It’s alright showcasing the game on players league as an entertaining piece of software, where hitting is on veteran and even some random MLB player with no real gaming experience can hit a few dingers to promote the game, but that’s not the actual product on offer, is it? It’s a game of good/okay contact, 175mph sinkers and frustration. While all the focus has been on fielding, (and we still haven’t closed that case yet, have we?) nothing else is getting addressed. -
I agree 100% with ComebackLogic - fix the hitting. First. Is it not possible to go back to release day when the game was overall in much better playing shape than now? Please??

I’m starting to annoy myself with the amount of posts, bug reports and negative feedback I’ve submitted on the topic now. I understand fielding was terribly broken and needed to be the main priority. It took forever to get any acknowledgment about that, it’s still not fixed and we’ve heard nothing about any of the other issues that are plaguing the game. Even if they came out and said “we’re not changing the horrible swing timing windows, nobody is going to be allowed to hit well this year.” I wouldn’t like it very much, but I’d accept that the game isn’t designed to be catered to my personal tastes and I’d stop playing it completely.
As it is, I’m messing around playing showdowns and garbage modes I hate, just to kill time while I wait to see if hitting will be patched. The way I see it, If this is the game going forward and SDS are happy with it, I can just stop building a team now and walk away, because I’ll never ever get to use it to play online, which is the entire point of DD. -
I just had AGAIN two no lock animations
whats really crazy to me is how sometimes outfielders literally dont even attempt to catch the ball...im not using bronze fielders lol im ready to catch in the circle and the ball goes over my head! I just dont get how last year all of this wasnt happening and now doesnt matter if you have Mantle or Trout....im trying to stay positive but its hard to enjoy this game at this point... -

Nice vid, but the music bro, woulda been better just to leave that part out ... But the video still made a good point, fielding is straight broken in this game ...

Defense is still horrendous. Lindor shouldn't be walking over routine ground balls in the infield. Cost me a win in MTO. I play on Legend so the margin for error is nil. Patch 1.09 fixed nothing.

They patch it 1 week in and havent made another changes to hitting so its obviously in a place where SDS is happy with the current state of hitting. Otherwise we would have seen at least one more patch that had something to do with improving hitting. I know the fielding errors have become their top priority RN but there was almost a 3 week window between that hitting patch and their failed attempt to fix fielding so it not that important to them.
-
There was a patch??? Still way too many errors in fielding. Hitting is the biggest POS. yet. Wish to %%^& I had saved my #80 and just kept 2019.
-
Nice 4 game win streak followed by some BS then this occurs, keep fixing please!!!

All I know is I wish my fielders performed the way MTO/Showdown fielders performed lol
I wish I could pitch as well as cpu common and bronze pitchers!

Game wasn’t perfect on release because fielding was broken, and still is ...
Compared to this mess 18 was perfect. i hardly experienced any fielding issues until the patches stated...After 6 days of people pounding gold and silver pitchers on all-star they panicked and ruined hitting, i feel almost like we are being cheese trolled by sds with how frustrating this game is... after we have bought their lives for 10 years. At least they could not cheap out with the server capacity, that might help a lot too!
If the game still played like it did early release, i would drop 500$ tomorrow. Not getting anymore $ from me until 2022 if ever. The "server maint" last night made the game even worse in my experience today. Hate being negative, just wish i hadn't played until after the first few patches because i know how good it almost was and that's what makes it hard to stomach.
Whoever the dev is that built the original hitting for 20 should be running the show at sds. It was a masterpiece. Whoever made the call to change hitting should probably be looking for a new job by now smh. If i was the hitting dev i'd quit, what a waste!!!!
