Very frustrating playing someone who can get 8 bloop hits per game but I cant get hits on perfect swings. Makes no sense. I played two back to back ranked games In a row. I counted 16 bad/late/early contact hits for my oppenents.. alot of them bloopers. While I had like 10 great contact/pci and perfects not do anything for me. This needs to be fixed or adjusted. This game seems to be picking players to help this year. Ranked 1 vs 1. My input was clearly better during these games. This is a video game. Input matters. Not real life baseball. If I play better I should win or reap the rewards. Why is anyone going to continue to play this game if a large percent of perfect hits and or good pci contact placement results are line drive outs right to someone. And its not just online. Happens vs the computer also.

Edited:: i dont care if I lose the game. Or games. But taking away countless hits and perfects hits from us is an issue. Especially on great input.

@allday9128_PSN because telling someone to just stop playing a game is counter productive. He like most people love the game and just want to see some consistency and see the game get better. Maybe try to relate with the frustration and help us fix it, that would be more productive.

Everytime someone comes on here and dogs someone because of their frustration is a wasted opportunity to get through to sds to fix some of the main game play issues.

Like seriously! What were you guys thinking? People now just play events to spam stats. Everyone goes on there and pitches the ball right down the middle and the games are 35 to 34. Is that what you want your game to become?

The multi player program is cool and a plus. Good thing! But everyone is spamming events to reach the multi player goals. Not a good thing for the game.

Ranked seasons cannot and should not be our only viable method of online play that means anything. People were complaining about rewards not being good in events. So instead of maybe making better rewards you completely removed it this year! Rewards were not even that bad to begin with. Ill take anything at this point. Sds response to people complaining about event rewards by completely removing it...is about as strange of a thought process as it gets. Im pretty positive im speaking for the majority of the online player community on this topic.

Hitting seems harder this year than any other year. Ive definitely noticed a difference. There is very little room for error. Meaning now.. if you are not completely squaring up the ball its an out. Even when you square up the ball its a line drive to the out fielder or the ball dies. Most of us cannot over come our great hits being outs. The top players can becauae they do it almost every at bat. Sds has catered to the top 1 percent of players this year more than ever. Us casuals trying to enjoy the game cannot square up the ball everytime like them. Everytime I play a ranked game even when I win im completely unsatisfied. Extremely frusterating to hit consistently this year.

@TripleH-4481_PSN game is completely geared towards the top 1 percent of players. Why else would br no longer have rewards unless you go 10 and 0 or win 10 games. Nobody is winning 10 games on that mode unless you are a top 1 percent player. Period. I dont know who they think they are fooling this year. With their money grab scheme.

@IrishFist412_MLBTS yep you called it. And that's why they will never fix the issue. And this year its a huge issue.

@Weshill627_PSN they have had event rewards for years. And playing in event 3 inning games competitively was awesome! For them to remove a huge part of the game for online players is absolutely silly.

8 total bases with a total of four at bats. With cpu pitchers that are dotting and barely throw strikes. With cpu defenses that make every play. With perfect hits being singles. Pitchers dont even have fast balls! Go jump in a lake sds with all your bs and catering to the top players in the game this year [censored].

Hit two home runs in four at bats or this one ain't happening. Cause the computer will throw you out at 2nd base going for a double. Hopefully it doesn't take you an hour.

Hitting engine is utterly trash this year period. This not even a conversation everyone knows it and agrees.

I don't care what they do. Just fix the [censored] hitting engine

I had a feeling some of these top players including streamers were cheating in some form of fashion at this game. Time for some streamers to get a real job. Cheaters never win.

@IrishFist412_MLBTS or we may end up seeing the streamers dirty secrets. Works both ways. 80x flawless i for one would like to know if he is really that good or if there is something else going on. And a 365 day ban tells me something else is going on.

Wanted to post a little something positive. Played my first ever hall of fame games. Three games during weekend classic. I lost two of the three. But holy sh...t when I went back to all star I could tell instantly I was so much better.

Hall of fame games were painful for me. But I suppose its the only way to get better.

That [censored] is out of control this year. Yep

@ckernan78_XBL everyone keeps saying it. Its extremely hard to hit this year. I dont know if they made it this way by design or what at this point. But the game game play feels very unrewarding this year. Imagine playing hof and actually trying to push yourself hard to get better at this game. Every game has 15 strikeouts and a total of 7 hits in 9 innings. Each team.

@tiktokudead4537_XBL bro you didnt get banned for playing a few bots you were matched with. I would be willing to bet you a 100 right now. You did something else on top of playing bots. You are a bunch of cheaters and got caught. Now go play NHL. Get outa here. Way too many cheaters in this game and its about time sds laid the hammer down. Now you are all crying. And if im wrong and they really did ban you just for exploiting a bot you were randomly matched with. Then ill be the first to apologize to you for what I just said. But I just dont think so.

@imlivinfabolous_PSN where have you been.? This is like the 1 billionth complaint about this same issue. The hitting engine is awful this year. Its very inconsistent to say the least. You'll get a few people that come on here and say its baseball and they will check your stats and try to undermine you. But the majority agree with you. Anyone that is half way good at this game knows exactly what you are referring to.

This game seems to be picking players to help this year. Ranked 1 vs 1. Why are worse players consistently beating me this year. When my input is clearly better. This is a video game. Input matters.

And its not just online. Happens vs the computer also.

@Dolenz_PSN its always been somewhat bad. But this year takes the cake. Just stop dude! We want them to fix the hitting issues. Take your bs opinions elsewhere if you arnt going to say anything that helps get the point across.

@The_Joneser_PSN agreed. My apologies as well
