The ball physics in MLB the show are not great. Additionally, the swing feedback rarely matches what the correct ball physics should be and results in the same old boring hit types we have had for years.

@Easy_Duhz_It_
I think he may be referring to hit types. There is simply not enough realistic physics in the hitting engine to allow for real world hit types. There should be more slicers, choppers, high bouncers, slow rollers, bloopers, etc.

For example, getting jammed up an in on a fast ball and completely missing it with the PCI, should not equal a 300 ft pop up that stays in the air for 5 minutes giving the outfielder enough time to run (in The Matrix-style slow motion) from the warning track to catch it!

@CBrev47

2 additional things to look at:

1. On time timing! Too many balls going foul that are timed up in the green and in the strike zone. If you are on time on a pitch in the strike zone, it should never go foul, otherwise you would not be on time!

2. Can we tone down the superman fielding for offline play please! This was a consistent issue last year as well. Way too many bad/average fielding players making superman like plays, consistently. I get at least 3 to 4 per game and only 1 maybe 2 are from players who could potentially pull it off. The others are just super unrealistic. Additionally, I have had players missing routine ground balls that they are camped in front off way too often.

I think timing is a little bit off this year as well. I have had too many foul balls on green timing and pitches in the strike zone! If it is a strike and the timing is in the green, it should never be a foul ball!!!

Yes, worst part of the game so far this year!

I hit a ball in the green, Perferct/Perfice on a pitch just slightly middle in and in goes foul!

There is NO way that a ball should go foul if it is hit in the green window of swing timing and is a strike!!!

That is so stupid, since when does Fines players just mean retro finest? It should mean all "Finest" players! If they wanted just retro finest, it should have specified! There is an hour of my life I will never get back!

They need a weekend off to count their money from all the "Purple Rain" Chase packs everyone bought this year.

Hi, I just started playing RTTS this year and had a few questions.

1. Why can't I get my player to wear Baggy Pants? No matter what I do, he has high socks!

2. I am a 2-way player SS/CP. Why can't my player play the field and close the game in the same game? Seems logical doesn't it? As a closer, I should be able to play the field!!!

3. How are attribute increases/decreases calculated? I get +1 for a tough play in the whole as SS but get -2 for a routine ground ball error I had no control over!!! Seems pretty stupid to me!

@sds I have had the reward screen come up right when I logged into the game. I ended up with a silver reward of 5 show packs but when I went into my inventory, nothing was there. When I went back into the main program it showed that I had just gotten the 25Kxp reward as I was 1000+ xp into the next cycle. Is this a known issue?

Keep getting the unhandled server exception error!!!!

Anyone else having issues?

Why do you keep wasting stubs on them? You could have used the stubs to get the Ohtani card by now. Packs are never a good idea unless they are free

I have learned over the years not to spend money on them! These were all from free packs from grinding. I just think it's BS to put a gold in such a "Elite" pack! What's the point of that. If they are so rare, it should be a guaranteed Diamond.

I am 4 for 4 in getting golds from a Chase Pack! Seriously SDS. Absolute joke.

Yes I had mine done but it is horrible. Doesn't look anything like me and seems to add 20 pounds!!!

Has anyone else not gotten all their Twitch packs. My Twitch account says that I have 15 normal packs and 1 special. However, only 7 normal packs and 1 special showed up in my inventory!

@ItsAmeMario64_MLBTS said in Observations, Not Complaints:

This is by far the most realistic hitting has been in quite a while. I can actually have fun with contact hitters.

Agree completely, however there are a bit too many perfect-perfect line outs for sure!!! Not sure how that can be fixed but I don't think I ever remember seeing this many, it's just ridiculous.

Is there a process to request last names to be added to MLB The Show 23?

19 actually with the 15 collection reward.

@QuakesSJQT_PSN said in Our game is one of the most successful games…ON EARTH:

Per NPD data, MLB The Show 22 is the 6th best selling video game…ON EARTH this year.

It dropped from 6 to 9 in the monthly rankings in August.

I think this is important to keep in mind as many of the folks who feel passionate about this game - like myself - look for changes.

Schnauzer really nailed it in a recent post - this game is so big that the idea that they would would take such a massive revenue stream to accommodate a niche - albeit passionate - base, doesn’t make sense.

Feel free to call me whatever you want but if your job is to drive revenue for such a HUGE revenue stream (hundreds of millions?) then how else can you attempt to meet your goals but to appeal to the masses? (Read: Pick up the game and hit home runs in 15 minutes?).

That is why this game will never change for the better. All it will be every year from now on is horrible and unrealistic gameplay with lots of new cards and content. They should really rename the game to MLB The Card Collecting Game.

I never thought I would say something like this but here's to EA making a baseball game!

Yes I finished the central today but had some very ridiculous AI sims. I lost one 15-3 with my all 99 team! Really SDS?

Seems to me that the AI in conquest is about as good as this year's hitting engine, which is not at all!
