Pitcher confidence should impact the ability to locate pitches and possibly throw 1-2 mph harder or more break on an off-speed pitch. It should have nothing to do with hitting outcomes. Also, line drive outs should be lowering pitch confidence.

Maybe some sort of compromise would be you get at least one team affinity voucher if you complete 3 missions or something. Defeat the first mini boss it's another voucher. That way people who struggle can still earn something out of it and people who don't struggle aren't really affected

I've played about 3 RS games and 4 events games today. Fielding not better imo, honestly felt worse

Thanks for the post. I feel making pitcher confidence affect hitting outcomes is one of the poorer decisions they've made in the last couple of years.

Just wondering, are there any plans to adjust starter stamina regen, or increase stamina usage when used out of the pen. Using multiple starters a game right now shouldn't be the META.

This to me is the most pressing need in ranked seasons

I'm 38 myself, definitely not as easy to react to upper 90's fastballs as 16 or 17 for me

Age 37 and went to the monitor a few years ago. It's like PED's for us older guys!!

I won't the deny that the game has some flaws but it's still funner than 18 and 19 imo with potential to be as good as 16 and 17. Plus this community is 100x less corrosive than 2k

Can you imagine how much people would complain about the nose tackle glitch in tecmo super bowl?! "Patch it! This game is unplayable"

This topic is a tough issue for me because there games are incredible, and I mean that from the perspective of someone who grew up playing sports games in the 90's. I couldn't of comprehended something like the show while I was playing rbi baseball.

That being said I get all the frustrations with today's games and agree with many of the complaints listed in previous posts.

Something I might add is the impact YouTubers have had on sports sims in my opinion. I feel the impact has been mostly negative, especially in games like 2k and Madden. A lot of players now just try and learn the exploits which leads to frustrating and repetitive online gameplay.

My hope is we see a big jump in gameplay on the next gen.

Better than 19, way better than 18. On par with 17 imo

I turn my pci color to white and down to 30%. Can see it just enough but doesn't interfere with picking up the ball

Expectations are too high for a lot of people with sports games today. For someone that grew up playing nes, SNES, 64, ps2 and beyond, the games now are incredible.
I think what makes people unhappy today is forums that tend to be negative. And YouTubers that spread cheesy gameplay (not so much in the show but in 2k and Madden).
I'm not suggesting these games are perfect, and competition would help but in reality these games are pretty amazing imo.

Bullpen arms don't bounce back like starter's arms do. SDS's fault, not your opponents. Stamina needs to be reconfigured

Just finished the AL a few days ago, I need to pull a 90+ diamond at some point or I fear I won't complete the NL till end of July

CBrev is really good, especially when he talks through a game on what he's trying to do at the plate and on the mound. I also like college Lefty a lot. These two guys are informative and humble. Most other guys I can't stand

Better than 18 or 19

Awesome idea!! Would be cool too to add player awards somehow. Whoever your best hitter was can get some sort of MVP stub boost. Same for world series MVP ECT. SDS needs to see this
