This has been a frustration for me the past couple years. I see it move on my screen but feedback always puts in dead center like I didn't move it. It doesn't happen super frequently but does happen enough to frustrate me.

Cpu pitching has been the most frustrating part of this year for me. Almost all pitches being out of the zone or barely scraping the zone is frustrating. It's not the difficulty so much as the amount of extra time it takes. I've been doing 9 inning mini-seasons and the games are taking 35-40 minutes whereas I used to be able to do a 9 inning vs cpu game in 20-30 minutes.

I have the dual sense edge. The ability to adjust the sensitivity of the sticks has given me an improvement. It is a small enough improvement that I would probably stick with the regular controllers if I had it to do over again. It wasn't a big enough improvement to be worth the extra cost in my opinion.

I used to be a mostly online player but as I get older and my reaction time gets worse, it has become less and less fun. I used to be a world series player and win ~ 80% of my games. Now, I feel I'd be lucky to win 50%. I do play the Battle Royale programs. I focus on the missions and don't care if I win or lose which makes it easier.

Unfortunately still not the case for uniforms.

My biggest issue is them decreasing quick sale values on the non-live series players and this year, the unlockables. MLB the Show is still far better than other franchises. Go try NBA 2K25. That one is the worst.

I've been playing for years and my son who loves baseball wanted to start playing too at about 8 years old. Every year he would try and rookie was too hard for him so he would give up after a few days. He was finally able to start enjoying the game at age 12. It makes me wonder where this game would be if younger kids could enjoy it and not give up due to it being too hard on the easiest level for them. I imagine most kids just wouldn't come back each year like mine did.

I've been playing DD since 18, posted a fair amount back then but now I mainly just lurk. I remember some of the crazy people, the guy who complained that every opponent and everyone who posted were "center swingers".

JJdaggas or something like that was his name. I played him a few years ago and he messaged me recorded voice messages over and over again calling me a center swinger amongst other things. He is the reason I switched to no longer accepting messages. It was pretty funny though I guess.
