1) Directional hitting is out of control
With directional hitting you dont have to worry about changeups, lot of pro players are thinking that this is a glitch currently, where you constantly foul all changeups that are at your shoes, its a constant pattern, directional hitting is supposed to punish you for swinging out of the strikezone, but currently since launch it has been so OP that even pro players playing DD are using it instead of zone...
2) Michael Jordan jump 8 feet in the air gold glove outs throws
This is a insane animation, where the guy jumps up in the air yet still makes a perfect throw, every player seems to have it, even those that are horrible defenders are making insane gold glove type of throws....
3) Swing timings
They currently make 0 sense whats so ever... Late, early, balls that you throw out of the strike zone yet somehow they are being hit even if you have poor swing timing and poor accuracy, you still make contact somehow. This issue has been widely agreed upon already, the swing timings just dont seem to make any sense this year, no idea if its the server lag or what.
4) INFIELD DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What on earth is happening with out infield players? If there is a ball hit behind them they just seem to get stuck and stand still....Even after you try to switch your player they dont seem to move, as long as the ball is hit at a decent speed, they seem to glitch out and stand still. I had balls get hit in the air, and fall 2 feet behind my SS because he would not move.
Now if you are a single player guy, some or most of these issues might not be known or as common, but when you play in DD, and especially vs decent competition, these issues start to come out and ruin games. It gets to a point where i try to do a pitch out move so that i could strike out a directional hitting user that i know is bad and is swinging at everything, but if i dont aim 100 feet to the side he will somehow make contact on bad timing and nowhere near the strike zone inflating my pitch count. Its really a bad atmosphere currently for online DD in this game, and i hope there are changes coming.
If directional hitting does not get nerfd this game is over from a competitive DD standpoint.
