I’ve been playing the show for 7 years now. The fielders still have no urgency and everything is so slow. Squared up balls are weakly hit and perfects are outs. I’ve been in 3 freeze offs just today alone. I like that they’ve gone away with sets and seasons but this game blows. Worst MLB the show I’ve played to date. The fan boys will still defend this garbage.

I use cheesy created stadiums such as Costco field to grind for XP. Just about every time you made contact it was a homerun. It seems to me that SDS has limited that in The show 25 and lineouts and the CPU pitchers throwing poor pitches on rookie mode has become more prevalent. They really do not want you to gain as much XP as you can and we know why $$$

I play it because I love baseball. This is currently the only mainstream baseball with licensing agreements. The only way things change is if enough people speak up about it.

Perfect contact with 100+ power can barely get over 100 mph. I know baseball is an unlucky sport but I have had more perfect outs in two days than all of MLB the show 24 combined

Is it too early to write off this game? The content they have released thus far has been mid at best with all the good cards being hidden in Chase packs or collections. Well, it is too early to talk about content problems, the hitting and fielding mechanics are something that are probably not going to change throughout the lifespan of this game. It is frustrating when you are an above average player and lower opponents are rewarded for bloop hits more than you are for perfect perfects. Lineouts are inevitable in baseball but this is too much. On the other hand, fielding is just absolutely atrocious. It is slow and unresponsive. How does MVP baseball 2005 have better fielding mechanics than a game produced 20 years later. The show 19-21 were peak and now we have this…

I agree but unfortunately it’s already been done for everyone on here lol.

While I like the content, the cards are just unusable. The whole program feels like a regress. This whole year has been packs and collections. Very unbalanced and a good way to alienate the majority of players who don’t dedicate a lot of hours to this game. Making World Series and being good at the game means less more than ever with poor rewards and no stub return.
