@creeder21_MLBTS I think we have it figured out from all the other posts complaining about hitting this year. And yes a few of them are my posts. Three things mainly.

1.They turned up the pitching sliders for an absolute surety.

2. Rng is very prevalent in this year's game.

3. The connection server issues are god awful. Making it seem like fast balls warp in at a 120 mph and every swing is late.

We can also add the pci shrinkage to the list for sure.

I think sds was way too focused on defense this year and completely changed course.

I am also winning at a good rate. Online record is 38 and 23 same rate as last year. And like you not having fun this year.

@GoozeFn_PSN have you heard enough its now every where bro. Everyone is virtually stating the same things or close to the same things about the game man. You are just neglecting to see it. Game play man. Needs to be better. Most are now saying it. Everytime you come on here and show stats but Stats mean nothing compared to actual gameplay. I have consistently told you I agree with you on the lies and exaggerating. But the reason people are exaggerating is because the hitting engine is so hard and unrewarding it feels like everything we hit is an out. Something is off this year. We armt all crazy. Most of us have played for several years to know.

@GoozeFn_PSN if you read what I wrote again^^ i stated unless its a live series collection card or a legend collection. So we agree. Its not rocket science. Slowing down the power creep will keep more people interested in the grind and game longer. Looks like some of the world baseball classic players are already 90s. Thats not good. Too fast. 90s out of the gate that are not live series or big collection cards are not good for the longevity of the game.

I do not want to see a 100... 99s by July. Its stupid. Ill go one step further i do not want to see anything above a 95 that is not a live series collection or a legend collection by July. I do not want to see anything but a few cards above 90 the first two months of the game if they are not live series collections. Period. This dumbs down the game and makes it boring. Slow down the [censored] power creep!! It takes most people 3 months just to finish the live series collections

@IZZY243Cuh_PSN well said for a 17 year old. Anyone who comes on here and crushes this kid is an idiot. Very well spoken. Most of what he said is true and he said it with respect and grace.

For all the people coming on here defending the state of the game etc. You guys are now the minority that are being completely counter productive. There is zero excuse for all the server issues and bugs in this game after a week and a half of launch. Some of the same issues from last year, like player stats, hair issues, server issues, not being able to play online past the 1st inning. Beyond inexcusable. We can go on and on. Its time take accountability and address this. We all want the game to run and play properly.

Pc would absolutely destroy this game. We have enough cheaters and spammers as it is now on console.

@flyarrhea_MLBTS you are moron

@DivineFury75_PSN this is an extremely hard game brother. Its not easy to hit. Ive been playing online for four straight years and still get destroyed. Try to do the best you can. If you lose you lose. No one is judging you. Alot of disgusting good online players we will aways run into them from time to time. Just remember most of them have no jobs.

You are 100 percent correct. I hate playing offline. Im an online player. Yet im being forced to play offline 80 percent of the time right now to obtain cards. Between, moments, conquest, mini seasons, im about to throw my xbox in the trash. All the offline play does is make you are worse player.

@The412Smoke_XBL I cant disagree there. Alot of toxic players for sure. But thats part of the online experience. Who cares if we lose its still just a game. Just trying to get better. Beats the boring offline grind every day. Im 0 and 5 in events right now. I suck. you think I care. I played nothing but toxic pros or children my first 5 games. One game I lost getting bloopers on me. Whatever. Dont care. Btw I never quit, I dont care if im down 20 to 0. How am I gonna get better if I dont play these no life losers? There is really only one thing I care about. My batting averages. Thats really how i figure out how im actually doing. Because the games rng will favor another team at times.

Content is great. Gameplay is not. Ill take good game play over great content everyday including Sunday. Have they bothered to fix any of the bugs with game play issues at all this year, besides removing Goat? They definitely fixed the things that helped them in regard to monetary purposes. How is the status ball wheel still broken 4 months into the game.? Freeze offs still? Its 2025. Great Hitting and pitching inputs still not as rewarding as in years past, Match making issues in wc, server issues, banning players over their own bots ( still dont know the full story on this one) etc etc. Some of these things are indefensible.

You all can be excited over the content maybe forget about the gameplay issues for a moment. When that wears off and Until you get reminded its still a problem.

Multi million dollar corporation shouldn't be let off the hook from their players and fans. Do better.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN like I said if the gameplay isn't up to par. The cards and the content mean very little. Especially when you have to grind the [censored] out of the game to obtain the best content on top of the gameplay issues makes it even worse. All that grinding for those cards to just line drive out on 95 mph plus exit velocity.. every other at bat, Is disgusting.

@GoozeFn_PSN again! I keep telling you. You are one of the lucky ones. You may just be in a better geographical location. Or have the one monitor or perfect system that makes the game play better for you. But you need to stop coming on here and in so many ways discrediting what others are saying. We know the game play is fine for you. We got it. Ive spent well over a 1000 dollars for my system, internet, monitor etc just to play this game. So my frusteration is valid.

BRING BACK EVENT REWARDS. FOR WINS

@Pipe-12_PSN im sure if they suspend you it won't be too long of a suspension. You were not cheating or anything like that. You made an honest mistake. I think you are fine.

We all know its there. Every big time streamer also is saying its there. Online players want to play competitive games where better inputs and play matter. We dont want to be favored in a game and for everything to go our way. We sure as heck do not want to be on the opposite end of that either. Not sure why you all added so much of this so called rng this year? To keep more people engaged perhaps.. I dont know. But its definitely there.

@PAinPA_PSN I am pretty sure its a combination of both.

@Tylerslikewhoa_XBL you want to compare the 99 percent of us to the top 1 percent of the best of the best of players? Those players are so good...what the op is talking about doesnt really matter to them. Because they can over come it. Because everything they hit is perfect. The Same rng happens to them as well. Doesnt faze them, because their next at bat and the bat after that will be a perfect hit swing. My point being is it doesnt effect them as much. Example when the economy is bad, the top 1 percent of the richest people can care less and does not effect them as much. You should start learning to think outside the box. And not just what you are told.

@iBonafideScrub__PSN being unrewarded within the hitting engine is the main issue this year. Its very disheartening and frustrating to say the least. Unless you are a top 1 percent player we are not good enough to overcome these things through out a game. You need to pause the game punch your pillow or something. Calm down and try to move past this non sense that happens every single game. Its very toxic and will take its toll on you and mess with your mind set during the game.

"""You gotta remind yourself, its about the process""" quote from the announcer. I get one of those literally every 3 innings.
