You're joking right? Ok Ramone....scroll through the forums a bit and read how like 90% of the community feels about hitting, especially since the patch...worst MLB The Show hitting experience ever, not even close...

Hard Pass

Are you even a Tigers fan? Discusting....we have garbage cards and the OP is suggesting that it would be cool if we got a "Tork" and you say no? Unbelievable....

This is the most hyperbolic claim ever. Worst mlb the show hitting experience EVER? give me a break lol

Have you even read most of the posts on the forum? You are most definitely in the minority....agree to disagree I guess but I can assure you that you don't represent the masses...

Anyone talking about people whining is a joke and I could probably go talk to your family and co-workers to find out how much of an arrogant [censored] you are. People are venting because they care and want to enjoy this game. Get down off of your high horses and think about trying a little bit more humbleness. I know that may be hard for you with all of your perfection and all but please try...

Ok. IMPO, the worst ever, although I have only been playin DD since 2017. The timing windows are broken, good PCI placement not being rewarded, good/ok results on perfectly centered PCI 10 times a game, etc....

I get what you're saying and see that you are clearly taking the side of the top 25%. I appreciate that, so I'll stop trying to sell you on my point. Strictly speaking about myself, I buy games to complete them. I am fully aware that there may be challenges, but I won't purchase a game with content directed at only upper echelon players. Hard is fine, borderline impossible is not....its an impossible situation for SDS and one in which they can't make everyone happy, that is what you are saying and you are correct. My final thought would be "What percentage would be higher? Upper echelon players still ok with hard but not borderline impossible moments versus the percentage of average to below average players that feel defeated by borderline impossible game content?" They could be tuned down, still be hard, and still offer this difficult content that you enjoy. Seeing as though the forum has been begging for this all year, and little has changed, I was hoping that they would not be present in MLB20.

You're the man eatyum....great debate and valid points from both sides.....probably 25- 50% of the many that I completed took me hours to complete. Moments Extreme and Story Lines support my point more accurately so I stuck with those. I will say that I have never felt this frustrated since MLB15, when I first started playing The Show.

Hey everyone,

As I absolutely despised moments this year and their 1-2 higher difficulty levels than what they say they are, I have decided I will not be purchasing MLB 20 if moments are back. Does anyone know if they are going to be back for next year's game?

Create a game that has content that 50-75% of the player base feels hopeless about....excellent business model. It's a video game...Have you ever heard the phrase "those are video game stats?" This is because this is the average fan's expectations when playing a game. Do you think people would play soccer games with 1-0, 2-1 scores regularly? That is what happens in real life. That is what they are trying to turn this franchise into, the closest simulation to the real thing. The catch is, that I want to hit 2-3 homeruns every game and score 5-10 runs. Why?....because it's a video game and that is what makes it fun. Offense is way scaled back in this game, for me anyways...constant line outs, especially in moments, where the statistics show like .600-.800 batting averages in real life on balls with exit velocity of 100mph+...not the case with this game. I know I have the choice to play different modes, but I like Diamond Dynasty, and unfortunately feel as though it's being heavily scewed towards the uber competitive and online crowd....

Can't dispute that, but I selfishly don't want even 5% of the content that I don't have a chance at. Let me grind...I loved 18 for those aspects. I truly felt as though I could unlock everything if I put in the time. Also, spending hours failing moments over and over is maddening and an element that could be avoided by eliminating moments altogether...

Lol. You are delirious. The last 3 shows, in order were
17 - be late be great
18 - slow pitch softball
19 - mlb the lineout show

Ok. Just read the comments on the forum champ...many, many people up in arms on hitting since the patch. At the very least, the timing window is some of the worst ever, IMPO.... Also, many people have called 19 the worst ever and see how many comments you can find on the forum, comparing this game to 19, including the most recent post...
