The game just came out. Instead of immediately talking about how the pitchers aren't throwing enough strikes or the look of the game isnt new, how about we just play and enjoy the game.
Are there some bugs that need to be fixed? Absolutely, but what new game doesn't have some bugs at launch. Does the game look similar to the last few years? Sure, but you saw the announcement trailers and gameplay trailers before purchasing. If you pre-ordered the game before all of that came out, then thats your fault.
The game has competly reset from last year so instead of running to the forums to complain about how you got a perfect perfect lineout or how the CPU doesn't throw enough strikes, just play and grind whats available now and look out for the updates to come later on. Your team now will not be the same team you use in a month I promise you.
