First game after the patch and my offense is like swinging underwater. It's weird, I've had countless pitches to hit and done nothing with them short of a double by Seager. I'm facing Oakland so not like I'm facing a great rotation, my offense literally can't do anything at all. Hopefully it's just a one off coincidence since last night I was hitting just fine against Houston.

I've played three games since this update (veteran level) and I'm encountering the same issues. *I was normally scoring about 4-5 runs a game on average, now I've been shut out in three consecutive games (that hasn't happened in two seasons played on this game), the pitcher is throwing the ball straight down the middle and with good timing it's either a dribbler to the pitcher a grounder straight to an infielder or a fly ball to the outfielder. *I've also noticed several players where my defenders suddenly slow down when chasing a fly ball in the outfield, allowing the ball to drop ahead of them. *I haven't changed any slider settings for awhile, but the game is definitely playing differently, and the hitting is awful. *Swinging underwater is exactly the descriptor for it. *The players' hit zone markers are also way off...much more frequently than they have been in the past, even against bad pitching.

Nothing changed with hitting. I think you guys are overreacting. Look at the patch notes. Common sense tells you the game is not going to make any drastic changes this late in production. Small patches to fix crash issues is about it. I know the dev team is aware of the major issues, bottom line is they can't fix it this year without breaking something else. 10 Patches in you are not going to miraculously see a patch that fixes wild pitches. It has been a good season for MLB The Show. I am sure 18 will be better. But to get back to what I was saying patch 10 didn't break hitting. I had a 7-2 game yesterday. Every time a patch drops it doesn't cure everything or break everything. Look at the patch notes. Nothing on gameplay fixes except crash issues were touched.

Well the thing that leaves it open to guesswork is when they say things like "various other fixes" or other similar statements while not pointing out exactly what those are. They've done that in at least the last few patches released if I recall correctly and it's never really clarified as to what falls under the "other fixes".

Now as for hitting, my one game must have been a one off fluke as I played another game last night and beat Oakland 8-1 while hitting 3 HR's and collecting 16 hits. Like I said before my post was more to see if it was patch related and others had seen the issue or if it was just a fluke game that happened to coincide with the new patch and thankfully it appears to be more of the fluke variety then patch related.

I played a game last night after downloading this patch, and the game felt very weird.

Having said that, the pitch speed looked faster than what it was before.

Having said that too, LOL, i finished my game and went to save franchise and the slider box was checked off as if saying something was adjusted and I need to save.

I mentioned this "issue" in a slider thread thread and I just don't understand it.

After i saved franchise, I decided to load the sliders that I have been using and played the two next games with no issues. And when i say issues i mean the gameplay and animations felt normal and organic.

So I have figured out that when I load up my franchise, I need to make sure I load up the slider set that I have been using.

Unless I am doing something wrong, I have not had to do this in the past.

Am I alone on this??

i noticed this aswell.. .every patch i redo my slider set... this, atleast to me brings back the "normal" or "organic" feel
for whatever reason it eliminates most wonky animations

People post after every patch that the game is ruined because they're ignoring that baseball is random. One game will be low scoring, the next will be high scoring. Nobody should comment about a patch ruining the game until they've played at least 5 games.

I didn't notice anyone saying the game was ruined unless I looked right over it, which is completely possible. I think it's natural to ask questions seeing as the patch notes aren't exactly thorough.

RTTS baserunning still broken since release. Need to be holding back the whole time or you will be picked off easily every time. Do the devs even test this mode?

Played into my 4th year so far and never had this problem.

It's also natural to ask questions when they have literally changed hitting in previous patches without a note for it. It's not paranoia, it's legitimate concern.

Which would be fair if everyone was implying that they only played one game and noticed it was different.

I've played a handful of games per day, and I'm still struggling to get any real runs scored in game, when before I had a lot better variety between high and low scoring games. I think I've given up maybe 1 home run in the past 5 games, and hit all of 2 myself. I don't even know if I've seen either team score more than 3 runs in the past 10 or so.

Wow! I'm calling photoshop on this one! Just kidding wow that's insane! I totally understand how you feel even though you were up!

Been playing for the last 5years and have seen similar player warps through out the series but never this bad!

My scores haven't been terribly low, but I went from striking out 5-7 times a game to striking out 27 times in 2 games last night and striking out 10+ times the two games the previous night when the patch dropped. It may just be a coincidence, but I have seen more swings and misses since the patch on my side of things.

That is with directional hitting with custom HoF sliders.

Yeah this is unfortunate. I am able to steal bases but each time on I am on base I automatically have the right stick held back toward the bag. Even with my fastest reflex I have never made it back to the bag with out holding the right stick. I am currently in August of my Franchise.

I just had a thought maybe it's tied to the difficulty level? I play on Legend but I don't want to sacrifice the difficulty to be able to dive back more easily. I am going to try it on Beginner to see what happens.

However I do find this a million times better than the ShowTime Slow Mo effect that was present in MLB 16. That was a automatic safe each time! I hope Show Time and Slow Mo Effects never return to this game.


I will note that they fixed the base running (Patch 1.09) for RTTS and Player Locked players when pressing the stick up to increase speed. It no longer shakes the screen uncontrollably. It's not completely gone but its definitely less noticeable. So I will take that any day!
