I agree 100%. The gameplay took a HUGE step back from MLB 19. I know 19 had line-outs, but contact hitters were usable. This year, if you do not have over 80 power you are likely to be out. I played a game the other day, my opponent had 0 baserunners through 6 innings, and in the 7th, I was pitching with 99 Giolito. I had a perfect release on a circle changeup and he hung it over the plate and he hit a solo homer. I actually only had 2 runs because I was making good timing outs all game. Entering the top of the 9th, i was up 2-1, my opponent who has struck out 15 times this game, gets a bunt single, my infield was playing in and J-Ram decided that instead of charging the ball on a bunt, he will walk to it, of course once your opponent gets something cheesy it starts screwing you. I had a only thrown like 5 pitches with Fingers and he was wild. I walked the next batter. He had 99 Trout up, I brought it Crochet. Had him down to 2 strikes after two dot pitches, the game decided another Good timing released 4-seamer down the middle was the option and he it a 3 run homer, in the bottom of the 9th, I made three good-good outs. I lost 4-2. In MLB 19 I was a top 200 player with close to 1000 hours played. I'm at 560 hours this year, I just cant play that much. Its not fun to play a lot of games.
I really miss the pre-release gameplay, it was legit the best feeling mlb game i have ever played. They released a hitting patch on day one, ruined it for the year.
I think mini seasons is uninspired and boring.
They could have done a lot with this mode, but its just conquest without simulating spots on a board.
My biggest complaint, i've played two different teams that have generated full collections complete, and the most recent team has Andrew Miller, so i guess whoever i matched up with is rich lol. The CPU seems to cheat on the higher difficulty so i have to play on Veteran to make sure I win. lol.
I wish before each series they had a cut scene breaking down the team your playing's last few games, or telling us more about the team's history (even though its made up). or just something other than a paragraph.
Instead of them randomly generating teams from online, they should have made up players and give them complete backstories and their history, then they could have put leaderboards, by showing who played the best vs those teams. Its just playing the cpu 20+ times for the Longeria card and thats the only reason i'm playing, and it sucks he is stuck behind that grind...
Come on SDS, where is your creativity at?
The honesty answer was the May 12th hitting update. It really messed up hitting beyond repair in my opinion. I finally made WS on Saturday, my opponents were less than amazing. Hitting has been horrible since that last update.
There was definitely a change in the gameplay starting May 29th. I started this season 11-2 and at 850, i've done nothing but struggle in Ranked too. Even guys like Koogs and Shelfy have struggled. They 100% made changes that weren't needed.
My one request for MLB 22 is they revamp the ENTIRE hitting engine. No more PCI junk that means nothing.
I just lost a game to a guy with over a 100 loses this year, Larry Walker has 125 power but misses the center of the PCI by a half an inch and it is popped up in the infield.
I would love it if they can try something new and give us a system that would actually make sense.
I cannot understand how anyone can get to 1000 rating or 40 wins, because after 2 games of playing ranked a day, i'm done playing for a few days. The amount of weird PCI feedback and losing just makes MLB 21 boring and uninspiring to play.
Issue #1 - Feedback goes away to fast to review data given.
Best way to describe it is.....Easy but boring. They really need new ideas for MLB 21. I am bored of moments, they aren't as much as last year, but I did ALL of the moment grinding last year. I have only completed the Bellinger moments and a few from the Team Affinity. The CPU can't throw a strike for nothing. I had to hit a HR with Zunino, after what felt like my 20th attempt, I finally hit a HR only for the CPU to rob it. Perfects are hit directly to fielders. I started the moments at 6PM after work, by 11PM EDT, i had them all completed. The moments Idea was great last year, but please SDS find another way we can grind.
Lucky! I opened all the packs from 5th inning conquest, showdown, through 200 stars and some events. 2 headliners Best pull - Stanton. I cant remember my last diamond lol
Tbh, I dont believe SDS knows the answer to this question lol
Actually...in my personal experience, its been the easiest Ranked Seasons of the year. I stopped grinding it back in June, two reasons, 1: rewards weren't really that good 2: I wasn't having any fun with the game.
So, I basically only played an hour or two a week, this is from someone who played 900 hours of mlb 19.
I played 4 games of ranked for July went 2-2 didn't play anymore.
I started at 400 this season and I am 11-0 and made it all the way to 801 rating. I am going to keep grinding it out and try and get to ws this weekend. I feel like if the game isn't fun and you aren't doing well. A break is needed, these cards aren't going to be used in 6 months so no need to be upset about it.
@mrwonderful95 said in This is an honest question:
Do they nerf the higher rated team in RS? Just curious what everyone’s thoughts are on this. Thanks!
I've thought of this, and is why I am considering take the NBA 2k route and putting commons on my bench and in my pen just to see lol

@weshill627_psn said in MLB The show appears to have broken my monitor lol: I have 28" Nitro XV2 XV282K KV and I am playing the May POTM moments to get finished with them. I am doing the Duran moments and i heard my dogs barking loud outside, Lowery is coming to the plate so I pause the game. I come back and my screen is flashing very fast. I strike out the batter but the image of him on the on-deck circle was still on the screen. It acted like burn in, but I don't have an OLED, its a regular LED panel. I restarted my ps5 & monitor and that didn't fix it. I even switched to my pc and it was still on the screen. Now my screen won't stop flashing while playing mlb 22. So, not only is the gameplay bad, it also ruins monitors lol I'm going to bed and will check it out in the morning. Hopefully it being off will fix it. I'm not sure if its a PS5 issue or Acer issue. If someone can help me answer that question that would be nice! You sure you’re not just playing at Field of Dreams?

As much as I hate playing in FOD, i wish it was something easy like that. The image isn't flashing as much as before, but its still there. Hopefully powering it off for a day will fix it.

This is whack man, this monitor is $900 lol Under warranty hopefully? I bought it in Sept of last year so i sure hope so. I'm just not sure why it happened. It's never done that before. I would probably go a few days and see if it works itself out, if not of course start an RMA. Kinda sucks. Yeah, i'm going to do that. I just loaded into the Colin Moran moment and in the picture of Tellez it flashes very fast and you can see Lowery in the on-deck circle and once it loads into the game it goes away. So much for over-spending on a monitor lol Ah, it happens man. Even the best equipment has issues from time to time. The real test is how they handle your issue lol.

You are right about that, I'm sure it will be fine. At least I hope so. I took a video of the issue. I hope its as visible on camera as it is in person. Thanks for you help.
@killerpresence4 said in LAN Cable Not Connected:
Let us know if the cable fixes it. If not dm me and I can walk you through some possible troubleshooting techniques Thanks man i will!
@the_dragon1912 said in LAN Cable Not Connected:
How old is your cable? I had that problem when I was on Ps4 and a new cable fixed it. They just wear down after a while and get a little loose in the port. Might not be that in your case though
It is an older cable. I think i'll try a new one and see if that fixes it, its been so frustrating bc i loss so many rating points on these losses. Thanks for your help!
Has anyone else experienced this issue on the PS5? I will be playing a ranked game and all of a sudden a message with flash on the screen and say "LAN Cable not connected" it will disconnect me from the internet and within 2 seconds I'm reconnected and can log back into DD. I just lost two ranked games today because of it and 5 overall, my record is 21-10. It's impossible to make World Series when I can't even finish a game.
I was on the phone with PlayStation for about 45 minutes the other night and they didn't know anything about it issue. I am not sure if it's a hardware issue with my PS5 or my Lan cable itself. I played through each Event and just finished 25 wins in the current even and it did not happen once. I've been wanting to grind out ranked, but it won't even let me finish a game. I am not sure if my opponents have a way to get into my network and disconnect me?
If a MOD or anyone knows of a resolution that would help me I would appreciate it!
