@GoozeFn_PSN you conveniently ignored all the bat input rewarded for him. Classic twig

Can’t figure out how to include images of the screenshot swing feedback but you’ve all seen them before.

but I figured it’s a new month, new beginnings, good vibes, April showers bring may flowers etc.

So I hop into ranked after taking a break:

Opponent Late swing: HOMER

Opponent Just Early: HOMER

Ball outside the strike zone: opponent double

Me: squared up good with Tulo = lineout

Me: perfect perfect grounder

Me: late swing wall scraper HR with Singleton (I was just trying to foul off an outside pitch)

Why are hit results so random on All-Star? Maybe I’ll try again in June

I understand the NEW strike zone, it’s smaller because it shows the “true” strike zone in which anything touching it is a strike via perfect umps and ABS.

My questions are:

1. is this how it used to be and always was? Did they introduce this mysteriously larger and vague strike zone in this years game?

1.5) If so, why!?

2. is today’s new smaller strike zone a reversion back to what we always had, or is this a brand new, never before used zone?

3. was was this years strike zone so wonky up until now.

4. OhChev posted a clip of a ball clipping the zone but got called a ball. He said it was due to a check swing ? My question is, is the update working correctly !?

@GodShammGod2_XBL they’ve truly stripped the game down to 2 main options:

Mini seasons over and over to get packs and play pack slot machine.

Or 2) go online and deal with lag, random gameplay, cheaters, disconnects or all of the above.

I’m choosing door #3 which is staying off the game. It’s wasted enough of my time. Sadly.

@pbake12_PSN it’s too bad @cbrev29 sold out. He clearly does nothing of value at SDS. He zooms into one of the streams and that’s it.

They can’t even tweet out headliners when they drop lol. LBrev

Who wants to spend 45+ mins playing 9 innings of hitting slot machine simulator lol.

Game has been like that forever. No hit variety. It’s pop out or homer.

@TripleH-4481_PSN I was hesitant on getting this years game after playing the previous 6 years. I ended up caving just due to boredom during the time this game drops in March.

These threads have been popping up lately, I felt the same way for a couple weeks.

This is the first year I’ve lost interest and stopped playing as early as April.

Mid April I got burnt out playing mini seasons over and over.

Weekend Classic was mostly the final straw. I was placed in the wrong division and started my leaderboard with a negative score.

My final straw was the Miggy Collection and how pointless the endless grind for collections is.

Last years game was fun because it had new modes:

1. ⁠DQ was a blast to grind and fun way to achieve collections.
2. ⁠collection rewards (Roger, Beltran) and new legends (manny, Ted) were fire
3. ⁠weekend classic brought good rewards to ranked.

This year:

1. ⁠DQ has been castrated
2. ⁠collection rewards are MID at best, and a waste of stubs at worst.
3. ⁠weekend classic is still broken and unplayable with this years pitching.

The show ‘26 has 0 redeemable qualities. The only slight positive is parallels mods but even those can’t fix the gameplay.

Aroldis Chapman notched his 1,341st career strikeout, passing Goose Gossage for 2nd place on the all-time reliever strikeout list.

He's just 23 Ks away from passing Hoyt Wilhelm for the record might take him 3ish weeks.

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN if they were smart, they would give us a couple diamond quests with the Mexico cards or rewards cards or contributor series cards that people need for the collection

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN I legitimately find myself laughing out loud at the things that happen. Might just be an offline player rest of year. It’s so bad online.

Yeah he’s kinda an a$$ hole.

Gomes has been CRANKY this year. He banned me from Chat too.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN

I have about 20 Ish at bats with the 95 miggy and have him parallel up to a 98 and so far I’m not really impressed by the swing. I’m not saying it’s necessarily bad but I would say tulo low and Pujols are both better when you factor in attributes defense

Maggie has felt a tad slow and not really generating the power I was hoping for

Finally got my fifth event win and Man that was excruciating.

I’ve genuinely never had such inconsistent experiences that I have with this year’s game. one game everything feels relatively crisp hitting input and output Makes at least some sense.

The next everything I swing at I’m late on, the connection being all choppy.

I just played someone who it was clear It was their first online game ever they played. literally swung at six change ups in the dirt in a row at one point for strikeouts, zero hits the entire game, but it went to extra innings because everything I made good contact with was just a lazy fly out.

I also knew he was gonna steal so I did a pitch out attempt, threw to second base, It beat the runner there by a good two steps and they called him Safe anyway.

why can’t we challenge in this game?

Also, I hate to say this, but I feel like parallel modds aren’t having the effect I was hoping they would.

even with prioritizing contact and power mods and a lot of my hitters it still feels like they swing noodle bats half the game or I’m swinging underwater. it’s just doesn’t feel like we have much control over the outcome I put a control mod on Felix and he still getting his cheeks clapped in the event.

Maybe it’s just an event thing. I have no idea, but I think that’s the last event I’m playing for a while

such a disappointment.

Get rid of all
Star!

@MikeSadlerMusic1_PSN game play really
Is solid !? ‍🫣

Everything else I agree with. They should have ADDED a 3 or 5 inning game mode, not taken one away.

Also, the events aren’t the same when you don’t really need wins to get the player reward. LAME !!!

@GoozeFn_PSN ironically the XP reward path is the least rewarding of all of them. It’s supposed to be this big grand slam of unlockables, they’ve made the “new innings” the least hyped drops of all.
