22 is one of the easier games in the series to catch on and compete being a casual, given that the game doesn't punish bad plate discipline or terrible pitch recognition. If you sit fastball on every pitch thrown to you, without any intention to adapt or to take a pitch when it's on the black, you can still be very successful in this game. So yeah I disagree with almost everything you say. It applied to some games in this series, like MLBTS 16 and even 17, but definitely not 22.

I agree the gameplay is nowhere near where it should be and the game does let you off the hook on some bad swings for sure. However. I’ve now been playing this game most days for 2 years. Not nearly as much as many who have played forever, but certainly more than a casual player. In my league I never so much as held a lead in the first 7 games. It’s still not easy for guys who aren’t super skilled. Especially when playing on HoF.

That's fair, I simply tried comparing this year's game to other installments in the context of OP. And in that context I stand by what I said.

Good call, I definitely can’t speak to previous years and truthfully, I played better online this year than in 21. And I am certainly willing to acknowledge when I hit a bomb I didn’t really deserve. That’s why I appreciate you. You can handle a lively debate without it turning sour. You gonna play 23?

Appreciate you as well. No I will not be playing at launch, I might pick the game up later when it's on sale but the Tech Test actually pushed me further away from this game.

What in the tech test turned you off?

@HungSpecial-Ed_XBL said in Best monitor for 500 or less:

I just bought a Dell 27” S2721DGF and love it! 165 Hz and 1 millisecond response time for $450

1ms response time means very little and is used by manufactures as a selling point on the box. Input lag is where it’s at and your monitor is very good so that’s all that matters.

@LIONED-33_XBL said in So honest question:

I have 2 32 inch monitors 1ms and 144 hz.. but I’ve heard 27in is better? Thoughts?

Don’t waste the money especially on this game. A slightly smaller screen might be beneficial in say a FPS where your eyes wouldn’t have to scan as much screen for enemies on the sides. When hitting your eyes are focused right in the middle of the screen no matter what.

My strategy is if the game/hitting engine doesn’t get a complete overhaul I won’t be playing at all. YMMV

They basically had no major game play fixes this year. I stopped playing months ago and won’t play next years game unless there is a total rebuild of the game/hitting engine.

@sandule_PSN said in If you don’t want to patch hitting:

Until there is another baseball game on the market and SDS have to actually compete, they will not change any gameplay mechanics at all. To be honest I don't think they actually know how to fix it, as this game has had gameplay issues for some time now. It's too bad as this game has so much potential. But as long as people keep pumping money into what it is now, which is a glamorised card collecting game, they have no reason to fix gameplay.

This exactly. They are worried that any serious tinkering into hitting could make things worse. We have seen this happen before. No competition has made them lazy and complacent. This game needs a complete rebuild. I mean how incompetent can you be that fixing a frame rate issue erases peoples records?

Game plays like garbage which also doesn’t make people excited about playing it.

This game on ranked is unplayable now I know why I will never play ranked again until change happens. Where I fly out every time I get barrel but the opponent can crank a HR with a pitch 4 balls high up in the zone that’s ridiculous. Fix the game it’s not hard. Please fix the game make skill matter. I’m sick and tired of this.

Yes actual skill. No freaking monitors, and all the cheating gadgets. Let people that play on 4k 8k TVS have the same advantage.

I hate that you have to have a monitor to play this game now. Its a huge pain why am I spending 500 on a 24 inch monitor when I have a 50+ inch 4k tv. I understand the input lag but come on level the playing field.

Who the hell is spending $500 on a 24” monitor?

Ah yeah no. Lol

David Price. A perfect/perfect bomb

@bhall09_psn said in Did the Update Screw Up Camera Views?:

Is it just me or are there a ton of cutscenes now too? Like after every play. Granted you can speed through them, but I have no interest in that. Just get me to the next at-bat.

Yes. Yes there are.

The game is performing as intended 🥴

Watched some game play on the Tube and he got hit around pretty good on legend. Your mileage may vary.

@capt_awesome34 said in Incredible results from a test I did:

I played various event games and used just about every hitting view for at least 1 batter and I came to this important result .....I am terrible in any view. That is all.

Have you tried setting up a custom view?

Not an option for online game play

Am I the only person who really doesn't care about all this 120hz or 60hz mess?

Good for you man, I mean that. Ignorance is a blessing.

Maybe not your intention, but that's a bit harsh. If the simple solution for me (in the sense that it doesn't bother me) is to turn off cross play, I'm satisfied. I used to work in tech and would obsess over specs and being up to date and the latest stuff. I changed field and really, what's the big deal with 60 vs 120 fps or 1080 vs 1440; or 120hz. There's a work around for that.

At the same time, PS5 owners who feel they got short changed knew that XBox had superior capacities at release, and that Sony had some catching up to do.

For gaming there is a big difference between 60fps and 120fps. Anyone who says differently have never compared the two.

@raesone_psn said in 4K monitors with next gen systems:

Yeah I am using the Gigabyte M32U and I'm very happy with it. HDMI 2.1 compatible and very low input lag. Tested as the best monitor for PS5 by Rtings.

BenQ EX2780Q

Is this a good monitor for ps5? It's the one I have but i dont know anything about tech. If it's trash talk me, you won't hurt my feelings.

That is a very solid monitor with good response time and input lag specs

Many new TV’s like the LG C1 and the soon to be released LG C2(available in a 42”) will be just as good as a monitor if you want a multi-use tv. They are all coming with HDMI 2.1 which will give you 120hz. I’ve been a monitor guy for years but this new LG C2 42”might be a must buy for me. My old eyes would enjoy the slightly larger screen.

@mrwonderful95 said in New car smell:

The best way to play this game is just not to care if you win or lose. I’m a competitive guy when it comes to sports and all the MLBTS nonsense RNG used to get to me. Through the midway point of 21 I let it go and just think of it as a way to relax, drink some beers and play the game I love. Trust me, it helps.

Great way to look at it. I’m old school competitive as well so it’s not always easy to have that attitude. But as you said there is a lot out of our control when it comes to games like this so just play and let the chips fall where they may. In the end it’s just a video game and not life or death.
