Recently, I've run into a new issue online and offline. It has to do with the normal swing button. There are several times when a pitch is coming my way and I definitively press the normal swing button...no arguments, it was fully pushed...no check swing attempt at all. When I press the normal swing button, the animation doesn't go through and its a check swing. I thought maybe my button was or is jammed but its not. I take very good care of my remotes. Have any of you run into this issue? Lastly, are check swings being called strikes more and more these days? Or is it just me not practicing enough? I literally see bats barely go anywhere on the check, ball is a ball but the Ump says i went around...strike. Talk to me my people. Whats going on?

I could not even read this entire tread without needing to take multiple breaks and even now, I'll have to go back a few more times to finish up reading all comments. I just want to say...I'm glad to be a part of this community and I'm sorry to everyone that has reached their limits about being frustrated with MLB The Show. We all deserve to speak on the game. I enjoy it quite a bit and will continue to for as long as I enjoy baseball. The negatives that many speak of are unfortunate and for me...since I am a franchise guy...I see passed many of them based on the universe(s) I've created. The positives of me having so much control with what I do during franchise mode or diamond dynasty excite me every day I wake up. Call it pathetic or not but I'm 41, a massive sports fan and sports gaming fan. MLB The Show is still a powerful gaming title that can be even better with some of these negatives, voiced by the community, being addressed now vs. later.
