@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.

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

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.

Nobody is saying that. I dont want hr derby either. But we also did not want to feel completely unrewarded also for good hitting inputs. Ask yourself is hitting much harder this year? Does it feel a lot less rewarding than years prior? The answer is yes. Does it mean its completely broken.. no. Not saying that either. I definitely do not want to play on hof anymore that's for sure. Why do you think alot of players are losing on purpose to get back to all star this year?

@GoozeFn_PSN ok good for you. Maybe you are in an area with better server connections within the show. But you are not the majority on this post and from what im seeing for myself and hearing. This explains why you are debating everyone and your complete utter bias about the hitting situation this year with anyone who mentions it. So now no one should take you seriously. Just think about how much better you will do if it gets fixed. Stop coming on here and gas lighting everyone who is having issues with the game play. You just showed your hand.

For all you guys stating you are happy with the rewarding experience you are getting on great input. Great for you guys. Google reviews and the majority of the community are experiencing something completely different. So consider yourselves the lucky ones.

@GoozeFn_PSN the complaints and the constant line drives right to an out fielder on almost perfect inputs. That i see for myself on a regular basis. And it doesnt just happen sometimes. It happens all the time.

@YOSHI24_XBL there is a game play issue. 1000 percent with hitting. Doesnt matter a few of your opinions. If there was an actual way to prove it and investigate it. I would bet $10,000 dollars on it.

@Talkingben9558_XBL let me explain. This is all based off very good input swings so keep that in mind. And im speaking about online play. And im not stating anything others are not saying about how unrewarding hitting has become. The way line drives magically go right to a fielder more times than not. The exit velocity issues, feeling like you are swinging under water, the server issues making it worse depending on who you play,, balls hanging in the air way too long on what looks like a line drive, or dying at the warning track, the almost certain double play when a runner is on first base or runners on base, the shift, and the almost certainty of hitting the ball directly at the shifted fielders, can I prove it. No. All I can tell you is my experience. And yes this is baseball and these things happen. But this is over and over and happens way more than it should in a video game. My experience is the same with the majority of Google reviews and what others are saying in general.

@CHOMBONDO_PSN bro they cant even fix the stat wheel from 4 months ago. They have fixed nothing this year.

@FiveTick77_XBL you are late to the party. The amount of complaints on the server issues and game play this year is enormous.
