There have been some versions in the past that were bad (yes, I’m looking at you 18), but hitting has never been THIS unrewarding.
I was a Top 50 player last year, went 12-0 in BR multiple times, and always made WS. But this year’s version is a steaming pile.
I’m just so bummed. This game was so great when it launched.

This game plays differently across different modes.
Custom League play is really good, especially on HOF.
Events play is pretty good, even though most are on All-Star.
Battle Royale plays okay, but can definitely be more random.
Ranked Seasons plays horrible. The RNG in this mode is unbelievable.
Now, SDS will come out and say “there’s no difference between modes”, but come on man.
And I’m not even talking about just online play. Offline is playing just as terrible.
It’s amazing how bad this game is right now.
I’ve been playing The Show since 17, and I know what the difficulty levels feel like against the CPU. Showdown (at least the NL East) is on HOF, possibly Legend.

Y’all just don’t see it? The game tried to get me to lose. It knew I was 5 runs away from Lorenzo Cain and it thought it could game the system by not throwing me a strike and having me chase. I’m lucky I went downstairs for a drink and forgot I left showdown running or I would have lost. Shady business by SDS. Smh
Look at these fanboys smh

So I found the people killing the game. How can you say that it's too fast? It used to be so hard to adjust to off speed pitches... Now all u have to do is sit fast ball high and have plenty of time to react change or slider
They can keep pitch speeds for all I care, there are plenty bigger fish to fry, well documented. They just don't represent the difficulty they say they are, especially showdown from my experience.
The game says Showdown is on Veteran, but that’s a joke. It’s way harder.
My opinion...
It shouldn’t really matter if the high sinker is OP, or if the low changeup is OP, or if the middle fastball is OP, or...
We all know that SOMETHING will be OP, but who cares? Whatever it is, it will be OP for everyone else as well.
The key (to this year, just like it was in each previous year) is to figure out what’s OP, and adapt.
The players that learn how to adapt quickest will benefit the most.
I seriously don’t understand why so many people hate MLB 20? Yes, there are some annoying bugs (OFs fielding fly balls on a short-hop), but overall the game is great. The last patch really fixed a lot of the issues.
OP, I completely agree with you. Especially RS, and it’s an absolute joke of a mode right now.
Not saying I don’t like it, but it feels like the hitting from Legend difficulty of last year.
I love the game this year, though. I’ve been playing since MLB 17, and this is the best version of online play it’s ever had. 
Just got Goose, and the most difficult moment (for me) was the game on Legend.
Words of advice for anyone who is struggling on that one:
@raesONE said in Looking for 1 player to fill a custom league vacancy:
Is there a Lefty Grove card in the game already? I missed that.
No, I don’t think there is, but we drafted guys that we thought would eventually be in the game as well.
Yes!
I love hitting just how it is, and I only want pitching to be the same concept. If the user hits the meters perfectly, it should go exactly where they are aiming.
I just realized that I don’t have the Rookie Bryce Harper card, even though I’ve completed the Conquest Map. Is anyone else having this issue?
Has anyone noticed all the Set 3 cards as being treated as Wild Card cards in Ranked Seasons lineups?

It’s not ruined. Holy [censored]. Y’all whine more than children
No, the last patch screwed up hitting so much. You’re blind if you can’t see that.
With the addition of ambush hitting, nobody can directionally bunt any more 
Welcome! User input not required.
I’m in the same boat. Can’t hit to save my life in RS (on HOF). The weird thing is that I’m hitting fine in Events.
