@Dolenz_PSN it’s not insane, it’s just that a player with a 10 bunt attribute can lay one down even if the ball is thrown a yard out of the zone. Not to mention fielding is crazy lackadaisical. I’ve seen people call for bunting to have a PCI just like hitting for the past 5 years.

Just faced a guy bunting with 99 speed guys. Lays a bunt down with the ball a foot below the zone and gets a run. After that it’s bunt defense everytime. I square up about 5 balls with dudes with 100 - 125 power, sending the ball 100 - 106 to the middle of the end field for an out. Only one went to the wall, but of course it was for an out. He gets 2 bloopers for another run and we go into extras 2-2. In extras, I hit another 105 exit vel ball with the new 99 David Ortiz, and it doesn’t make it anywhere near the warning track for an out. Then of course he bloops one passed the diving second baseman going 60 mph to win.

This game constantly rewards these type of players, and punishes you for actually making good contact. Done forever.

@whalen91_PSN yes it was like that in conquest and moments in team affinity as well.

Put Trout at RF

Content has been pretty good imo.

Got dumper and judge today

@genopolanco_PSN Top players pitch as well.

Yes. It’s other post on the forums detailing how it seems like they nurfed hitting or turned up the DDA. Good contact / good timing, even perfect/perfect like 80 - 90%of the time result in an out now.

I’m really feeling this currently. I played 1 weekend classic game with a lot of the new cards with 100+ power, and good timing/good contact was a line out/flyout everytime. Dude won 1-0 from a solo shot.

Same with Diamond Quest today, everything was a lazy flyout good timing/good contact with the new Harper, Diaz, and Adell cards. Hate that it feels this bad going into All Star content, because I’m kind of turnt off from playing rn. Just feels too scripted like EA games.

I’ve attempted to load into the final showdown 3 times, and it reads “loading moment please wait” for about 30 seconds, then said challenge failed. Maybe it’s because I’m on Xbox?

Got all 30 teams vouchers ready!

Took me throwing out the zone every pitch and had to walk 3 batters before I got the 3rd strike out. Every pitch NEAR the zone was put into play.

@Pergo_MLBTS only game that this happens. No lag in game. It happens in non peer to peer games as well like conquest, Diamond quest, and showdown.

Every time I first boot up the game, the first load screen to start a ranked game, event, conquest, showdown, or any game mode freezes me on the load screen. Dashboard, then load the game back up to have received a loss. I have about 15 ranked game losses this way, as well as ending my showdown progress and diamond quest progress. 2025 and there is still issues with freezing smh

Same happened to me a few days ago. Somehow it’s always after a W.

Would be cool if every season had a different captain criteria to keep PREVIOUS season cards eligible. Ex:

Season 1: You can use any NL West team captain card to keep all members of said team eligible.

Season 2: Use 1 of four cornerstone captains to keep whoever meets the cornerstone captain criteria eligible.

Season 3: Use any AL East team captain to keep all members of said team eligible.

Season 4: Introduce 4 more captain cards to keep whoever meets the cornerstone captain criteria eligible.

Etc…

Would still give an incentive to grind due to not knowing what the next season’s captain choices would be; but for players that don’t want to continue the grind, they could still compete in ranked with specific previous season players.

He has a new card in season 1 and 2 so they probably thought it was OD

Went back to 23. Games are easy to find

Been playing since The Show 20. This is the earliest I’ve stopped playing in the game’s cycle.
