@sbchamps17_NSW are you saying there's THREE swings now? Granted this is the first Show I've played since '09, but I could've sworn that it used to be Square for power, X for contact, and O for bunt. Times change, I guess. Thanks!

Does this challenge simply not work for anyone else, or is it just me? I swear to God I've done exactly what it wants, swinging with X, getting a single to advance the runner from first to third, and it ALWAYS says "FAILED." I, in fact, just did so 30 seconds ago. And I am 100% positive I used an X swing, and not a Square one. Is there some hidden feature with the PS5, like if slam the ever loving s*** out of X it becomes a power swing instead? Is this broken for everyone? Or is it just broken for me?

Topic. Just got promoted to AAA, and those training drills that used to come up before the first game in every series don't seem to be happening anymore. They were kinda a nice way to get a quick boost, and I like the idea of my character hitting the weights to get stronger.

@Red_Ted_is_back_PSN It seems like a lot of things with '24 aren't working as intended, it would seem.

Hi all, new to the forum. Most of my questions with regards to anything are going to start with this: the last Show I played was ‘09, which I think played the absolute snot out of. Decided to pick up ‘24, and a lot of the systems have changed, with a lot of different options for ways to “tweak” said systems.

With regards to Guess Pitch, I remember it used to work like this: you guess a pitch type, and you’d guess the quadrant. Let’s use 4-seam fastball, low and inside, for an example. You would then get TWO pieces of feedback: 1 for the location, and another for the pitch type. So if it then turned out to be, let’s say a slider low and inside, the low and inside quadrant would flash, but no ping for the pitch type. If it was a 4-seam fastball, but anywhere besides low and inside, you’d get a ping for guessing the correct pitch type, even if the location was wrong. AND, if you then guessed BOTH correctly, you’d get the extra juicy double ping, and then you’d be set.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out a way to get guess pitch in ‘24 to work like this. If I guess 4-seam fastball low and inside, but it’s a 4-seamer anywhere else, there’s nothing. If it’s a pitch low and inside of any other type, there’s nothing. I’ve tried every conceivable variation of the settings, I THINK, and I can’t replicate the way it worked in ‘09. And I’ll be honest, it’s REALLY throwing me off, even after all these years, because I instinctually am expecting it to be neither thing I guessed when I get no feedback, and then look silly when I’m not expecting a pitch in the guessed quadrant, or when it’s the pitch I guessed but somewhere else. And then, turning the guess pitch off completely, I’m having a REALLY hard time reading pitch type and location - ESPECIALLY location - coming out of the pitcher’s hand. Call it getting old, I guess.

So my question is: is there no way to get the guess pitch to work like I remember it in ‘09? Is this just the new norm? Were people complaining about it back in the day or something, so they did this as a compromise for online play?
