It has never been like this before, but the 2021 version of the game took a step backwards by allowing high level pitchers to be far too strong, and with so many able to hit edges and corners with unbelievable consistency, the game has me on edge every time I play it online to the point that my gut is physically aggravated and it is an uncomfortable feeling. I think it's from all the failure. This game is no fun when you can't bat .200 with every player on your god squad and you're facing a guy who can pinpoint on command.

To be honest, I have come to hate playing.

We’ll all be back… once you’re hooked, you’re hooked for life.

Anyone who has ever quit a game before the end in any other way than using the "Quit" option is a Loser in every aspect of life. Plain and simple, a shell of a man. Baseball is a microcosm of life, and if you cannot accept defeat like a man and instead run away and hide and quit, that tells me everything I would ever need to know about you as a person. That you are pathetic and weak. Your fragile ego hurt over getting beat in a video game. Dashboarding is a crutch for the weak. Intentionally timing an opponent out is equally obnoxious. There is nothing wrong with properly quitting a game when you are beat or outmatched, but to intentionally do it in any other manner should affect you to the deepest pits of your soul because it isn't right. And if it doesn't, you don't even recognize how pathetic and weak you are.

Everyone needs to toughen up. Learn to lose like a man if you are going to play a man's game.

SDS, please put an end to the wimp-boy quitting.

Anyone who pulls plug rather than proper quit gets 15 minute suspension. If it happens twice within an hour, they get a 1 hour suspension, 3 times within 3 hours and 24 hour suspension.

It’s so annoying, especially when someone quits mid play and the game gets stuck in limbo for 3 minutes until they time out. Everyone knows what I’m talking about. It’s obnoxious.

SDS please put an end to this unsportsmanlike behavior.

17 days is a bit harsh. I once ran over a cat.........on purpose, and only got 2 days of community service.

Ok sicko cat killer… and someone even gave you a like, obviously as demented as you… community service, you need a lobotomy

BR game just froze in the 2nd inning, it is still holding me hostage after I just took a shower, just shows my second baseman, can’t get off the screen until I close out of Show. Game before froze early on, it let me out at least, even gave me a W when I was trailing 0-3 after 2 (I’d probably have beaten him, he had a luck 3-run HR on a curve at the ankles)

Anyone else having similar issues right now?

Gwynn is intriguing in name, but when you look at your other available options in OF, it's difficult to justify playing him in RS primarily due to his lack of power. When your OF could consist of any combination of Mays, Mantle, Trout and Griffey Jr., just to name what I would consider my top 4 options, all are more valuable hitters than Gwynn, all are better fielders, and aside from Griffey at 85, all have better speed.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X I'm saying, user skill always being a constant, the coding for each player does ultimately make a difference over a large sample size.

I can't believe how incredibly bad it is...

Starting with the most obvious thing that impacts every single game, every single play... the new font. The new font makes nearly every number in the game illegible. I never know what speed any runner has, it looks like a blur, and that's on a 4k gaming monitor. This is the most egregious design screw up in the game, like how did something this careless and dumb happen???

Sounds effects are horrendous as well. I'm no longer able to completely mute the game with the exception of game sounds. If I do that now, I get a annoying white noise, and then I hear nothing but a ton of footsteps.

Last season finally got me to stop grinding because there was just no way I was going to do every program and mission and team affinity instead of play the game for competition and enjoyment.

Even though I bought '24, I've decided I'm going to stick with '23. The moonshot event is so much fun and I don't have to deal with facing 99 pitchers. I've got an incredible team built, the game play is excellent, I'm not grinding '24 at all.
