MLB The Show 18: What Is and Isn't Working With Gameplay

Re: MLB The Show 18: What Is and Isn't Working With Gameplay

Theirs a major issue this year when it comes to errors being recorded. I have sliders adjusted and get more errors this is not the issue i'm speaking of.

When players misplay a ball and those type of things the game is not recognizing it n several occasions an not giving the proper errors on the box score.

I have had bobble balls, 1B coming off the bag those get recorded as they should if the player doesn't make the play in time.

Mainly the outfield or 2B the player misjudges the ball or it gets past him, either hits glove or just didn't make the play, and the game does not give the player an error.

I seen Kepler on the TWINS make 2 mistakes on a played ball in RF he didn't make the catch for whatever reason the ball rolls to wall, the base runner advances several bases, but no errors were given ans this happen 2 times in one game.

Wild pitches act like the ball is made of rubber. Balls in the dirt just don't react this way every time. Yes, some get away, but not at the rate mlbts has them. Ugh

I’m seeing an issue where in the majority of my games my pitcher falls apart in the 6th inning no matter how well he’s done in prior innings.

Well that’s good to hear, that means it’s right in line with real baseball. The third time through the lineup is a killer for most starting pitchers.

Baseball is changing And you should be happy you’re starting pitcher gave you six good innings. Everything is about the bullpen now, guys that pitch 200 innings a season will soon be extinct. Don’t even remember the last 20 game winner. Kind of sucks but what are you gonna do?

Personally I don’t understand why some are insisting on treating the problem with bunting as dire or serious enough to complain and act like it is ruining the game. All you should be trying to do is move the runner over. If the ball being hit too hard results in a double play, then you have to adjust and make the runner steal while Bunting. And if you miss the bunt and get thrown out stealing, maybe it’s time you come over to the American League and quit with all that nonsense bunting tomfoolery.

Trust me, I’m an Astros fan that reluctantly had to switch after being in the National League all my life. I did not want them to go and never liked the designated hitter. Trust me, there is no way I would ever want to go back to watching the pitcher take at bats away from players that are actually paid to bat. Just thinking about them standing there like they’ve never held a bat before. I should not know a player is a picture just by watching them stand in the box LOL

Bunting. Sac bunting. I created a "house rule" not to turn a double play on the cpu, but they did it to me once and now I show no mercy. It's out of control.

Yeah last year I got in the habit of using Quick Manage every time I wanted to sac bunt in franchise. Doesn't help online though.

I'll tell you what doesn't work. Going errorless in a game. Lmao ok I'm exaggerating but I honestly see way too many errors especially from players that shouldn't be making errors.

Re: MLB The Show 18: What Is and Isn't Working With Gameplay

What doesn't work for me is in franchise mode, when I'm in control of an Outfielder and I'm holding the left stick to run towards the baseball, my fielder PAUSES most of the time. My OF is running towards the ball and for some reason he just start walking slowing and then, if I'm lucky, he starts to run again.

This happens on fly balls, balls over my outfielder's head and ground balls to the gap. Very frustrating.

This happens when I get a ground ball to first and the first baseman fields it. He starts towards the base. It then slowly jogs/walks like diagonally opposite from it. I've tried four different controllers so it's not my controller either.

In about 25 games so far (all against computer). They haven’t once done a suicide squeeze against me, and there’s been plenty of opportunities. I’ve had very few errors/computer has had virtually none. And this “comeback code” I’ve been reading about hasn’t been in my games, I just finished a 1 hitter shutout. I’m baffled by the different experiences going on, and like CujoMatty said above, I hope they don’t change anything.

I've played 4 whole games and the CPU has attempted 2 against me. Just 2 minutes ago, it attempted one in the bottom of the 9th with 1 out and down by 1.

I dont know whats going on.

Out of curiosity, who attempted the bunt?

Just curious as to see if maybe this year the CPU is only attempting suicide squeezes with players with higher bunt ratings.

I don't know I have heard a lot people say this was a issues for the last like 5 years and I played all those games out side of 17 and never had any issue at all with this.

The CPU manager has been quite cookie cutter in its strategy and it often uses bunt (sacrifice & suicide squeeze) in a close game (tie or 1-run game) in late innings, regardless of the batter at the plate (even with the power guy).

Bunting is embarrassingly dumb, but absolutely no change/improvement for the past few years.

Extreme pull hitters still poking hard line drives to the empty field when shifted on. Every time. No matter how they are pitched or situation. So tired of this happening.
