Ps5 graphics are much improved. Game is more fluid. Hitting seems more difficult. Pitching don't throw it down the middle.

For curve balls, try aligning the pitch meter to go slightly below the bottom of the strike zone. This seems to put the peak height of the curve ball at the center of the strike zone. I find any pitch left over the middle of the plate gets blasted.

I'm a patient man. Been playing the Show for several years. I know with a new game there are bugs that have to be worked out. But the fact that my short stop and Ssecond baseman can make 10 throwing errors. on almost all routine grounders makes the game unplayable and unacceptable. On analog metered it happens quite frequently. Even when i take the meter off and or turn sliders down to no throwing errors it still happens. Please fix this.

Also the sounds within the game this year sound muted. The crack of the bat is dull sounding.

I play All Star pitching and I move the cpu sliders up one notch. I also have hitting set to Veteran with sliders up one notch. Gives pretty good balance. I lose as much as I win

I play Hall of Fame with the sliders for CPU up 1 or two notches/ Seems to provide the best balance.

It seems to have worsened with last update. The other issue issue is after the player blunders the ball (fails to lock on, bounces of their body, etc) then getting the player to where the ball is a difficult task. Player navigation is querky and difficult.

Post application of fix 1.08 - fielding is very glitchy. Players direction change is choppy and herky jerky. Sometimes they even miss catching the balls. Whens patch 1.09 coming - hopefully soon

Does anyone know if the players released as a diamond card can be used in franchise mode?

I agree only after SDS released the three patches - the game plays closely to 2018 and 2019. I like the faster play option now - it actually plays faster. Diving for balls seems a little off from 2019 but its workable. Pitching and hitting are prettu improssive. Won two pitcers duels , 1-0 and 2- recently playing franchise. Love this game.

I was critical of this game early on (throwing errors etc), but the patches applied have made a difference and I think the game plays closely to '18 and '19. I play Franchise and won a of pitchers pitchers duels ,2-1 , 1-0. Thanks again SDS.

Outstanding commentary on Dunkin vs Starbucks. Give Nespresso a shot. A step above Dunkin in price and quality but certainly less in price than Starbucks and better tasting to boot. Once you get over the investment in the machine, the return on quality is a win win.
