The content was fantastic this year. Definitely saw more diverse lineups, although some cards I felt were too hard to obtain. Moments were a mixed bag for me. I liked that it wasn't just straight up grinding, but because the gameplay was so broken, some moments just because a worse grind than mindless playing the CPU from last year. To sit and play the same inning, game, at bat, or whatever over and over was mind numbing at some time. It's one thing if the moment is hard, but it's something entirely different if you're hitting missiles right on the screws right at guys over and over and over. Fix gameplay, and moments will be better.
Gameplay, again the biggest downfall to the game this past year. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The PCI just dones't work. Get rid of it. Man the batting reticle bat shaped and make the ball react off the bat like in a way that is consistent with real life physics. No more of this, "Perfecting timing, right in the middle of the PCI = a fly out to the warning track" or "A poorly struck ball on the fringe of the PCI wil bad timing = bloop hit over the 1B on a high inside 100+ MPH fastball" [censored].
One thing I noticed today was how when a guy rounds second, for example, to go back to first when a fielder catches a ball he stutters around second as if he forgot that he was going back to first to avoid a double play. Things like this need to go and the players actually need to have some sort of baseball IQ.
