Re: MLB '17 v1.08 Patch Released

This is easily the best (imo) and my favorite iteration of the show ever. I know that their are warts with this game just like there has been with every other one. My most glaring problem with this game is the ridiculous rocket bunts. I can't believe after all these patches that they still exist. Bunts are seriously like line drive hits on this game. Every other problem can be somewhat adjusted with sliders but this annoyance can't be.

I had issues with rocket bunts last year and nothing happened and most people told me they weren't even having issues at all with it. It was never addressed last year, I can only assume due to no overwhelming complaints about it so doesn't surprise me that it still exists this year and is once again not getting any traction regarding a fix. It was actually one of the reasons I bailed on playing in the NL and went with an AL team so I didn't have to worry about bunting much at all this year.

Imo, there is an input issue with the joystick not reflecting the location that I know where I swung the bat. It's like they added more variance.

The pci will be mover higher if you are early on the ball, and lower if you are late.

Re: MLB '17 v1.08 Patch Released

Odd thing that happens for me: After every patch (not just 1.08) the first few times I play after the patch, loading times are atrocious. It sits on the trademark screen for a good 2-3 minutes before loading to the main menu. But after two or three times of playing, it reverts to normal load times. Not a big thing, but kind of weird. Does that happen for anyone else?



As far as gameplay, I didn't really notice any big differences. But I've been really happy with the game for awhile now. My super tiny nitpick is I wish they'd have the player's position on the walkup screen.

X 1000 on the walkup graphic with handiness instead of position.

I have a hunch they change that for 18.

Game is so smooth. Like buttermilk man.

I have completed 0 BR games since the patch. The last one I just played, I got disconnected and got the loss when going for a PH in a 0-0 game in the bottom of the 3rd. So that's fun

In my online franchise I completed 2 games and was disconnected in another so hard for me to comment on if the patch did anything positive for the game. Noticing a lot of bloop doubles on jammed pitches for my opponents and weak fly balls on good timing for myself. Twitter seems to be in agreement that hitting has taken a step backwards.

Yeah, I'm saying they added more variance to this. So people that were getting a lot of just late or just early hits would get less and good hitters that were hitting hrs with these are now getting flyballs. But it's had more effect than just taking away a few hrs.

They managed to break manual sliding in the latest patch.

Can we get hitting back to the way it was? Or it least some compromise? Unless I'm the only one struggling to get HR and doubles lately.

Do you use sounds of the show? I love the feature but it creates frame rate drops when music kicks in. Never really during gameplay with the exception of strikeouts.

Yeah, I'm assuming at this point it won't be addressed. I play with a NL team and bunting in any situation is basically an easy out. It's like the ball practically reaches the fielder before the guy leaves the box to run down the first base line. I see people mention/complain about numerous things that I've never been affected by. Maybe this bunt thing just doesn't happen to enough people. Who knows...

Re: MLB '17 v1.08 Patch Released

I don't know about different game modes, but this patch has absolutely wrecked hitting in DD. Balls are just dying in the outfield and nothing is getting through the infield except line drives.

Just feels like you're playing with those plastic balls with all the holes in them, you smash it perfectly and it looks like it'll go miles, then it just decelerates at a completely unnatural speed. Online game have turned into deadball era style games, anything in the air is an out unless it happens to bloop in between the outfield and the infield, while both teas are having to rely on small ball and line drives straight up the middle. Just feels and plays terribly.

Thinking of stopping for a bit as it's just not fun at all since the patch, everything just feels so weakly hit.

I think it's like that in all modes now. Smh.
