Agree on all points. MLB 25 is rivaling 18 rn for worst MLB I’ve played. Exit velos on good swings are the worst I’ve ever seen. Pitching is the worst it’s been since they’ve added pinpoint. Fielding is all over the place.

I used to be elite at this game and I was hoping to return to a competitive level this year, but after a month of this gameplay, I’ve changed my mind. I’m with @doobiebross66-72_PSN . It’s better to take a casual mindset to the game and not care so much about stats and record. Actually the game is so bad that it’s been making it easier to laugh off the losses.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in DEAR SDS:

Every time I win: 100% skill
Every time I lose: 100% scripted RNG

the difference is the OP actually admits to being bad at the game unlike most posts like this

reading that post hurt my head

i think i’ve hit the warehouse more times than i’ve managed to hit one out to left field…

Hmm. Not sure I buy it. First off how do so many PPs end up as grounders? Secondly how you hitting 1.000 on fly balls when better part of half of mine die at the warning track?

We don’t know the stadium and level; I’m guessing veteran tops

hahahahhahahahahaha

@ikasnu_psn said in So I’ve been keeping track of my perfect perfect results:

Needs a constant non variable stadium. I recommend Date Palm Field.

i prefer my current hair color over grey.

This is a thread I plan to update throughout the year. If anyone else is interested in also keeping track, it would be great if you’d like to share the results here

I’m going to be doing these in batches of around 100. Finished the first one the other night. Here are the results:

Ground ball: 18/31 (14 singles, 4 doubles)
Line drive: 43/47 (13 singles, 16 doubles, 1 triple, 13 hr, 2 foul balls)
Fly ball: 27/27 (27 hr)

Stats:
-Ground ball: .581 avg, OPS ≈ 1.291
-Line drive: .915 avg, OPS ≈ 2.489
-Fly ball: 1.000 avg, OPS = 5.000

TOTAL: .838 avg, OPS ≈ 3.028

I was very surprised with the stats on line drives. I think I had a lot of good fortune there. Will be interesting to see if that continues on the next set.

the baseball field is a friction-free zone in mlb the show 22

good job using strike zone view- definitely should stick with that imo. i think the single best mode u can play to get better strictly at hitting is challenge of the week (cotw). this mode greatly encourages plate discipline and allows u to get a feel for every difficulty. it’s also less boring than custom bp and the point system allows u to make goals and track ur progress.

@shaepztv_psn said in infield diving animation…:

Been that way for years. The masses are just barely starting to notice it for some reason though so I'm sure they'll go through and get a fix when the content creators get upset about it and start making videos about it.

nah it’s definitely much more ridiculous this year lol. this specific infield diving animation is new

Is absolutely absurd. Did SDS envision a slip n slide when creating these diving play animations? How does every infielder get a speed boost mid dive? You dive like 3 seconds early for a ball like 10 ft away and make the play every time. It’s the most overpowered defensive animation I’ve ever seen in mlbts

The momentum this year feels juiced compared to last year too. Once you get a couple bloop and a blast, it feels insurmountable to come back if you’re down, or impossible to get out if you’re hitting. Been on both sides more than once this year.

That's actually a very good point, I hadn't put too much stock into that up until now but that could very well be a big part of the issue.

Hitting has been pretty on point for me this year, definitely more consistant than last year. Sucks you are having such a horrible experience that we hear about every 20 minutes.

Lol- I mean Jesus Christ it’s beyond ridiculous now how much these dudes complain

notice how it’s almost always good players that complain?

Does it matter who’s gameplay it is when giving examples of the problems in this game?

I’ll wait to hear your answers. LMAO

So making posts of contact you’d never make get a life

Yawn…another insult to deflect from the questions.

Yawn another crybaby thread but now you’re stealing content because you don’t have any of your own

stealing content hahahaha what an awful take. maybe links should become illegal so content pirates like the OP can be penalized. yk not like content posted publicly to yt, twitch, reddit, etc should be shared.

What context does he have? Normal, Swing, Power swing, paralleled?

obviously normal swing. can tell by the pci size. paralleled? what do u even mean by that? that’s irrelevant

@hustlinowl_psn said in Here’s a few examples:

Lol [censored] hair from perfect yet not perfect game of inches. Launch angle RNG wtf is that even

getting screwed by bad launch angles on good pci placements that result in routine fly balls.

There’s absolutely no excuse for the first one, though some will try.

You CLEARLY got under the ball with your PCI.

Posting these just further invalidates your daily crying on the forums.

what’s the point in having three circles/diamonds if the top diamond (supposed to result in hr trajectory fly ball) results in a pop out?

throw strikes and pray for lineouts n track fly outs

Can someone send me whatever y'all are smoking? I mean seriously. Everytime something is wrong you cry and complain on here like something is going to change instead of taking your whining to SDS via their email or report an issue link under support.

Nah that's too much common sense for you conspiracy theorists.

Did you play 18? Yes or no.

I did and this plays nothing like it. Stop trying to drag me down with your sinking ship of an argument

conveniently ignore the two glaring issues with the hitting engine that he just pointed out
