I too have those little bloopers that fall in that area in the outfield. I would say it a good mix of me hitting them and the CPU hitting them.
Really two things have become a norm here. Most every time you are hit or you hit a batter the count is 1-2. I have just learned to NEVER throw an inside pitch on a 1-2 count.
The other one is the 2 out magic hitter that can hit and foul off 15 or more pitches then somehow bang out a double off the fence.

You get to the point in time where you start ramping up for the next years game. I think overall this years game is good and now SDS can just add to the game for next year. I have not problems with them just putting out roster updates.
Overall I think MLB The Show was a good game that provided everyone a enjoyable time. Let us now all work toward next March for and more beefed up game with some new twist and turns added in.

I will have to try that next time. Throw one behind the batter or into the mesh behind the plate LOL

Mine is on simulation. I have timing set down 1 or two clicks to the left trying to avoid the foul balls after foul balls....I do not think that helps at all. If memory serves me right, I think the longest AB was 26 or 27 pitches long. Most times they fall between the 10 -12 pitch range. The other thing I have noticed is when you get two outs the next batter you face has tremendous contact ability. This is when I get most of these long, long at bats.
I have a high K ratio with my pictures. The best time was I had a pitcher with 11 strike outs through 5 innings but the game was delayed for rain and he wasn't sharp after that delay and i had to take him out.

I have them often. They will even swing and foul off my pitch when to ball is over a foot off the plate. It kills my pitcher from pitching late into the game. My pitcher will have 80+ pitches going into the 5th inning. I at least want him to finish 5 innings to get the win.
I sure do not want to just keep grooving the ball and allowing the CPU to hit them and hope for a out every now and then. I pitch around the corners, high, low and try to make them swing at bad pitches. I walk around 2 batters a game.

Truthfully when you play NCAA you are very grateful for The Show 25. Out of any and all sports games, The Show is the best hands down.
I am already burned out on EA NCAA 25, it has a TERRIBLE first person section. It has no rewards but major set backs that even the best players cannot avoid. If The Show was anything like the NCAA game, you would find yourself in A ball the next year after winning the MVP in the majors.
Be proud of the game here, it’s not perfect but it is entertaining and enjoyable whereas NCAA is an agonizing game of some rally stupid things.

I had a three game series against the Dodgers and the entire series was weird. The first game froze up on Mr when I lost in the 10th inning. That happens every time to go into extra inning, why haven’t they fix that is beyond me it’s been there since day 1.
Game two was going great until the 7th inning and all the stats went back to zero. Plus Jason Hayward was being called Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers relief pitcher threw against every batter with either left or right handed.
Gunner Henderson hit two homers and drove in 5, but his stat only showed and recorded his last abat which was a ground out. Plus he then lost his 17 game hitting streak.
I went on and sim the last one which turned out right. I went to my next series in Colorado and everything played correctly.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?

SDS sent out a patch that did help with that and gave everyone a better K ratio. I still get those 10 -15 pitch at bats, but they have come down from 20 pitch at bats.
I am getting around 10 k's per game from my pictures and pitching on Hall of fame. I am not striking out maybe 2 maybe 3 times a game. I keep lowering my contact in my sliders to make me swing and miss more often. I have found that the batters will swing at pitches out of the strike zone when you have worked them during the at bat, but you will find you have thrown 10-12 pitches to do that.
It's not unusual for my pitchers to have 60+ [pitches in the 3rd inning because of this. Do i wish it was more realistic? yes, but It is a game that has what I do believe per-determined outcomes....like how many times when you hit a batter, the count is 1 and 2, most everytime.

I play every game of my 162 season.

I play RTTS along with my franchise. To me I would like to see RTTS step up and make it more in depth about the player off the field. These hitting, fielding, pitching improvement session on off days get very boring, same old thing all season long.
First off i would add more of the player agent interaction. I have not had my agent show up since I was drafted and signed and I am in my 3rd season.
Second, I would like to see the team you were crafted by trade you away when you are in the minors a lot more. When in the majors, still trade you if there is a need to help the team you are playing for.
I would like to add the A ball league, even if it will be generic players with a mix of real players there. It is part of being a major league player, playing through the minor leagues. Maybe even if you are doing well, being called up while in AA as some do now these days.

I will finish my franchise season out for sure. I am already 120 games into it and enjoying the season. I will play NCAA 25 but it will be more getting use to it and not starting a season until i finish up with my baseball season.

I just had my first rain delay last night playing. I am around 110 games into my season. I have played many games in the rain. Really nothing changed but to switch out pictures.

@dogfishjones0_PSN
This happens to me if it goes into extra innings and the game ends and I press X to get through all the commentary. It won’t let me do anything but restart mlb the show

Yep, that is when it happens, extra innings at the very end of the game.

Dollar General has them for $2.

Maybe 470' or something close to that. I never press down the power button, I use the normal swing 90% of the times and the choking up style when I have to have a hit to score a run. Sometimes I will still launch a home run even using the choking up button.

Oh, and as far as you not hitting.there are times many players goes into a slump and nothing you can do but play through those slumps. I find myself having fun during those slumps, it makes me try out new lineups and where they will bat in that lineup.
It is pretty easy if you just have a player or two in a slump but you do get everyone in that funk at times which is something I like.
Right now I can pretty much destroy teams like Oakland but have terrible success against the Yankees.

Lower all the hitting sliders for both you and the CPU. I might keep the CPU hitting 1 click higher. You wrote that your record is 101-28, that is not even close to being true to life.
My record right now is like 65-45 and I am still lowering my hitting because my team BA is still in the high .280's.
I have pitching on Legend and got the sliders set where no every pitch are strikes. I am having a lot of 3-2 counts. At times I cannot even throw a strike when that code kicks in that makes you throw balls after balls.
It is a constant battle to balance out the sliders. I have found just one click isn't really doing that much, three or 4 does some.
Lower the hitting sliders to maybe 2 and increase the pitchers ability to NOT throw strikes all the time. This in iteself will help you have a balanced game and not be 101-28. To me that is super boring and not reflecting anything close to being true to life.

I use the same all star game play with timing hitting. I do have most of my sliders turned down toward the left in hitting and the pitching on legend.
I have found the hitting to be fairly good but I can tell you when it will go south for me when pitching real quick.
One thin is when you have 2 outs on the other team, the hitter becomes Joe DiMaggio in the batter box. 75% of the time they will get a hit, or you will throw more than 10 pitches to get him out.
If you get two hits in a row, you better have a mound visit right then or you likely will see another 3 or 4 hits following those two.
The other thing that bugs me is the "comeback" coding. It can go for me and for the other team, it is who is behind come the 8th or 9th inning. That team becomes a hitting machine and gains a lot of power to overcome them being behind. I cannot tell you the times I have had two out, two strikes and BOOM, I hit one of the longest home runs ever...
There is a strong comeback code still in bedded in this game. From the 1st through the 7th, it feels and looks as in real life, but those 8th and 9th innings are comeback code city.
I enjoy the game but I see where a lot of the radon events do not happen when that comeback code licks in.

I'm 65 and play it. I started out with strat-o-matic baseball in the 70's and just two years ago decided to play on a Playstation. I did play in the early 200's with High heat, Triple Play but once it moved away from the PC I stopped all gaming until 2 years ago.
Now, I am excited about the NCAA football game, and hopefully next year a Nascar game that can be as good as N2003 from Sierra/Papyrus.
I play franchise mode and RTTS mode. I finally got to a 99 in my RTTS, as a 1B with the Astros that drafted me in the 5th round.
In franchise mode I am playing the the Baltimore Orioles and neck and neck with the Yankees for the division lead with a little over a month to go in the season. I will make the playoffs but I do not know if I will have to go in as a wild card team.
I play simulation, with pitching on Legend and batting on All-star.

I took a look at how many threads have been started. DD is WAY ahead of anything else. I have never played that section of the game myself. I( only play RTTS and franchise but it does look as if DD is where the vast majority of gamer are.
