Just played around in offline practice, few notes here.
My testing environment:
- Switch 2nd Gen (Animal Crossing Console)
- Docked on monitor with 3rd Party Dock (Skull & Co)
- Pro Controller
- Game stored on internal storage (not MicroSD)
- Ethernet
My issues: (all text links to streamable videos of bugs)
Found a bug where the team would reset to Atlanta when another team was selected and then selected the other teamNot a big, SDS explanation below- Equipment pop-in before batting (several times): Garver, Larnach, Polanco
The Garver one is the most interesting, his gear before it loads is the elbow guard and batting gloves with what appears to be an elbow-length undershirt on his right arm. Then, after it pops in, his right wristband, left arm sleeve, and his undershirt sleeves get shorter/disappear. Compare these imgur links: before and after. Found that interesting, like it started as a "default" space on his arms and then transitioned to his gear. Both Larnach and Polanco had 3/4 sleeves on to start, so this wasn't present with them.
General Feedback
Looks are what I expect them to be for a AAA game on Switch. Will be interesting to see the final game storage size, these games should all be on 32 GB game cards at the least.
I'm not good, so I use button pitching and button hitting. Felt like there was a little frame rate dip as the ball got close to the plate, and pitching was very okay. I also didn't do well when using the pitch meter the one time I did it, because I expected "A" to be the button used to pitch instead of B.
All in all, I might consider picking this up if cross-progression works as it should. I will be playing on Xbox since it is on game pass, but if this goes on sale I would definitely consider it.
