I try to stay positive on here but it's getting really hard. The hitting this year is close to the worse (2018) that it's ever been. The content which is usually the most consistently good thing about the game, is awful. The amount of perfect pattern pin point pitches that just hang in the middle of the zone is unreal. I love baseball and the show but I'm am having very little fun playing so far this year. I'm still playing daily but it just feels like a chore and not a fun way to relax. I really hope they do something soon but I'm not sure they will.

please specify where you are playing in these types of posts. hitting seems really great to me offline and i dont want them to screw it up cause ppl didnt say where hitting was terrible

I gave up 7 (counted after the game) late hits in a BR match today. Bloop hit after bloop hit, and I just couldn’t hit well enough to come back. Had to turn the game off for awhile after that one

3-2 heater down the middle works 95% of the time because 95% of players are pci slammers

PCI results from the last few weeks have been mind boggling to say the least

I got to 15 wins and hit him lead off till I got to 25 and the dude hit so many perfects and was mashing against left and right. It was all star but he was dominating out there

Trout griffey mantle whatever. Put the franimal in left and get ready for the fireworks show. Defense is for nerds

Well he hit the most home runs so it sounds like he should to me. Haha I get your point but I do not agree

Who cares let them all in. They revived baseball and it was fun as hell to watch. HOF worthy in my book

I wonder what the comparison is between first pitch and with two strikes. Frustrating day, swinging a lot so I’m a little heated about it.
When I swing first pitch with bad timing and the pci no where close to the ball, it’s usually a pop up. When I swing no where near the ball with two strikes and bad timing, it’s a foul ball. And then my just early that I square up goes 150 feet foul? Just let me swing and miss please

Most of the bosses were pretty underwhelming. Only one I’ve used who has over 50 ABs is vlad so I’d say him! Tried hitting with babe but he was hitting under 100 so he’s gone. I don’t think I used any pitchers from the programs

I’m think I’m done for the year, everytime I play this I rage, forget about my approach and then lose the games… Most of the time I’m the one giving up hits and homeruns to [censored] pci placement… I’ll probably come back when they release Trout.

Welcome back!

If you play on HOF/Legend, this card is elite. He’s still got an ERA in the 2’s and is one of my best starters

SDS made this game very easy to catch-up for newcomers. I’m not a newcomer but took about a 2 month break from the game. Within a weekend (I played a lot) I was able to get 40 finest and about half of all the postseason programs done by just playing the game really. Props to you SDS

@texaskid789_xbl said in Kyle Tucker:

Is it bad that I hit better with him than Soto?

I hit under .300 with Soto in almost 40 at bats meanwhile Tucker is hitting .473 through 70 at bats

If you’re not using him… you need to start! Butter swing with amazing stats and 70+ speed diamond fielding in right

@evylshaun_psn said in Any must have WS or BR reward players?:

Nolan Ryan is great on higher difficulties. Kluber and Arrieta are nice too. Kenley Jansen and Goose are basically bullpen must haves.

Position player wise there isn't really anyone that's a must have imo.

Nolan Ryan is trash on higher difficulties.

Fixed that for you. Haha the dude is BP with no horizontal movement

Mantle and slow swing in the same sentence? LOL

I find I hit much better on HOF/Legend than all star this year

Nervous about the low H/9 on higher difficulty

@chaseydc_psn said in Derek Jeter card now that he’s HOF?:

I know The Show didn’t have Jeter’s rights which is why there’s never been a Jeter card, but don’t they have a deal with MLB which gives them rights to members of the Hall of Fame? Curious if anyone knows - fingers crossed.

Think about it. If they had rights to hof players, there would be a lot more legends in the game. So uncross your fingers. Jeter wouldn't be an elite card in this game anyway.

Paul Molitor with some higher contact

I’m in the same boat right now. I’m just gonna play ranked and use different guys and see who does best and ends up sticking. They’re all pretty good so you can’t really go wrong with one over the other in some spots
