How about fixing pitching? The randomness of pitching has made things even worse. Go back and play MLB 17 or even 18 and see how many times you hit your spot and the pitch goes middle middle or hangs up a ton when you’re throwing below the zone. Hitting will always be somewhat random, but pitching should be 100% user input based as far as pitches going to the location you’re throwing to.

Truth ... Pitching in 19 is a step back from 18, random meatballs even with perfect placement is annoying... 18 that didn’t happen..

I was ready to move passed everything until they put Crane in front of a mic. Then I got mad all over again, the whole "Our opinion is that this didn't impact the game" is ludicrous

Holy moly did he really say that ? What they did 100 percent impacted the game, knowing what pitch is coming is a massive advantage... As a matter of fact it totally takes away what advantage the pitcher has...

Stop playing then, it's February, sorry that you both lose more than you think you should. At this point in the games cycle if you hate it so much you have nobody to blame but yourselves, your [censored] is getting old, find something else to do or shut the hell up, nothing is going to change in this game in February.

Perfect game you've played 668 games either get over it or do something else with your time, at least Demise has only played 375, still an insane amount for 2 guys that hate the game this much.

Not about losing. Stop. This is a known issue said by the top players and top streamers in the world. “Don’t play then” is a bad approach because of everyone who had this issue which is EVERYONE...stopped playing. Then there would be no game.

Your response of ignoring it facilitates them not fixing it. I’ve seen this work for and against me in line outs. And it usually progressively improves in big moments. The problem is. If one player squares 8 pitches for outs those outs build pitch confidence and lower pitch count which in the end has dramatic effects on game play.

User input in a competitive game should supersede everything...it’s a game. It should act as a game. The better inputs should win 100% of the time. And that’s not the case. If that were the case in call of duty there would be no pros. If this game wants to go toward the competitive level they have to stick to a learning curve and force new players to grasp it or move on. What they are trying to do it secretly make everyone happy. The real way to do that is make a skill gap and let people adjust to the skill gap. Not randomize the games inputs to structure gameplay around collected data.

Not a cry post. Not an empty sore loser complaint. The biggest issue I’ve ever seen in a game in my life is this.

It's February, you have 2 options.

1. Stop complaining because nothing you say is going to change 19
2. Stop playing because nothing you say is going to change 19

Your choice

In all fairness though, I think he realizes nothing is gonna change in 19, but rather feels his input could help change 20....

Not sure why everyone caps on 18 so much, 18 plays great offline in franchise mode, 19 actually has some goofy stuff 18 didn’t have, like random pitches going right over the plate despite perfect placement, nerfed hitting, tons of line drives outs with perfect contact... bloop hit after bloop hit... base running glitches, random home runs that seem staged, I can’t tell you how many times the CPU has done this, even with pitches out of the strike zone... 18 gets a bad rap I think, definitely plays solid in franchise, still playing it actually ...

It definitely happened in 18 as well, just not as much regularity as 19

Rarely in 18, maybe when your pitcher starts getting tired ... I play mainly offline franchise in 18, it’s been solid in regards to pitching, I also play offline franchise in 19, and man it happens a lot, frustratingly ...

They’ve never gotten the crowd right, I would love to see real crowd eruptions in big moments like real life ... Game winning home run or base hit should rock the place.....

Randy Johnson, all day !! He should be one of the most dominating pitchers ever in the Show ...

Ok, gameplay is always number one, but when talking about presentation SDS just a couple requests, 1. Can you stop with the logo flashing before our eyes constantly, it’s nit picking I know but it’s so annoying that fast play is the only resort to stop it, but then you get no celebrations or home run replay’s .... 14-15-16-17 didn’t have this issue, it all started with 18 and 19, and it’s blindingly annoying trying to relax and enjoy a game in franchise mode ... Would be great to have a nice smooth transition into replays not some flashing logo over an over an over that happens way too much... 2. Have the crowd really react to big game situations, I mean erupt like crazy from a game winning home-run or clutch base hit in a big moment, would love to see that evolve and feel more realistic.... Again, gameplay number one, but presentation has its importance...

With that multi-console contract money they had to have signed so many new guys. Huge cash cow if they did too. They've already released 8 and it's barely February. I'm getting more pumped everyday for 20.

Very cool the game will be available on Xbox and the Switch... VERY COOL !!!

Pitching accuracy is important also, sometimes you hit the meter perfectly and the pitch ends up being a meatball right down the middle when you’re aiming for a corner...

Wanted to try out the beta but it was all about diamond dynasty.. SDS should let franchise people get a little taste of franchise mode ...

I am still waiting to see the Unit show up in game. Randy Johnson could be devastating.

Heck yeah! Randy Johnson would be awesome ... His fastball would be ridiculous...

Roy would be great, would also be great to see Randy Johnson, imagine his fastball !
