I just had the most blatant check swing. I didn't even come close to bringing the bat all the way under and they called it a strike. Then, the next inning, my opponent checked, but he brought it all the way under and then some, and it was a ball. WTF!!! I had to replay both of the instant replays to watch it again. Me and my friend were dying laughing because of how bad this is. Fix your game, I'm happy I didn't preorder this BS!

This game is a copy and paste of last years-- Pitchers will always get 20+ strikeouts a game, there is no small ball whatsoever, and there are random unexplainable errors in the infield. The check swing system is ABSURDLY BROKEN, and for some reason contact is more important of a stat this year than power. Ohtani can't get a hit to save his life, and he's the god [censored] cover athlete!! I understand he doesn't hit that well average-wise in real life, but come on, how are you going to LOWER his ratings? I wish this game was more enjoyable for casual players who can't sit around and play it all day and get used to how the hitting works. If I stop playing for a week I can't even compete with anybody, I get blown out every time. Pitching needs to be LESS OVERPOWERED! The pitches are wayyy too fast for anybody casual to react, especially high inside fastballs. Half the time you have to GUESS where the pitch is going before it is even thrown if a pitcher has outlier or something. I'm sick of raging at this terrible [censored] game, it makes 2k22 look like a mf masterpiece, and that game is utterly HORRIBLE. I'm glad I didn't preorder this game because it's absolutely atrocious.

The break is INSANE on some pitches. It's literally unfair. This is going to be a repeat of 21 with 20+ strikeout games being commonplace for good pitchers. I understand that people who only play this game don't have difficulty, but for us casual players we get off the game for a week and can't hit anything. The pitching seems to be even more unfair this year. Slow down the overall pitches (not the mph) and make it so the timing window is easier and requires less reflexes maybe just on lower difficulties. A bigger PCI isn't going to help new players or casuals time their hit.
