MLB 19: Anybody else feel this is the make/break year?

Some people really struggle to comprehend game development.

Colour me non-nonplussed.
They didnt show you the changes because they knew there will inevitably be people who cant help themselves from making public what they see in the alpha.

LOL. Nice excuse by them. They didn't make any is the more likely answer. EAish no competition means not trying.

Nope. I'll buy it every year even with modest improvements as long as you can continue your franchise. It's the game I spend/have spent the most time with over the course of my life.

When "overhauled sliding animation" is listed as a main new feature then you've run out of ideas.


I won't waste my time complaining about Franchise or fielding, but I'm at the point where I skip pitching 90% of the time. Sure, pitching will never be as entertaining as hitting in real life or video game, but it's always been so boring in The Show.


My one minor complaint is to fix the swing animations, ESPECIALLY for lefties. The animation where they drop the bat vertically on its knob is has been my pet peeve since MLB 12. Some animations actually got choppier and glitchier since the PS3 days as well.

For better or worse, this year I hope they leave hitting alone. It seems like every single patch they mess with hitting some how, and never get it right. Both teams hit a combined 10 homeruns a game, then they drop a patch, and neither team can hit a homerun to save their lives. Next patch, it's back to a homerun derby every game. Just leave it alone so we can get some consistency. This has been my main gripe over the past couple of years.

I think it's a mindset. I enjoy the pitching aspect far more than the batting. One thing I'd like to see incorporated into pitching though is the rosin bag. Use it and your control is improved by 2-3 points but at the sacrifice of the same amount of points in either movement or speed. As for fielding, I wish the camera would change to the POV of the fielder, then once the ball is thrown and after it arrives at its destination, changes back to the default cam.
