Some people say it's way better then 18 and some people say 18 sucks and it's arcadey. I was on the fence to buy because I played a few innings over my buddies. Should I just stick with 17? I see alot of complaints threaded popping up all over this site.

Give it a break. You've already tried begging people to agree with you and not like the game in your other thread. You did a "review" you want people to watch and agree with. Do us a favor......stick with '17. Or even better, post a lengthy review (others have done so) and then you can get the people who agree with you to........agree with you. Play it at your buddies house, write down everything you don't like (like the fielder throwing like a girl) and post it in the impressions thread. Problem for you solved.

I really don't think I've ever seen a game on OS that didn't have it's detractors & it's supporters, whether it was deserved or not.
That might speak more to the nature of forums than any game based on it's merits.

you should definitely stick with 17. 18 is not going to make you happy

I am enjoying reading this thread, as I am still on the fence about buying this game. I keep going to the PS store and hovering over the "buy" button, but then go out. My main concern is whether I will end up getting bored of the game in a couple months, as I have done the past few years. I've been an avid The Show player since 2006, and I only do Franchise. For some reason, the past few years, the games grow repetitive and stale and I lose interest after a few months. I don't know if it's because there is just a lack of immersion and variety or what.

I just played a few games in a new Franchise in 2017, and they were fun. But still there is something lacking. Perhaps it's because I fiddled with the sliders but never got to realistic results (still way too many strikeouts by my pitchers and not enough walks on either side).

My questions are:
1) Is there a noticeable difference between elite players and regular players in 2018?
2) I've read people talking about how fielding is so much better. I always thought the fielding in 2017 was great. How is it better in 2018?
3) Are people able to get realistic results (i.e., walks on both sides of the ball, a lot of Ks with aces but less so with worse pitchers, hit variety, game score variety, etc.)? If so, which slider sets do you use?

Thanks!

1. Yes absolutely. More than ever especially in the field.

2. Smoother animations, better results in the form elite and average fielders. Much improved tagging.

3. Huge difference in Pitchers. Yes great results just as in 17, but Gameplay is just plain better. I use Armor and Swords.

I think the "majority" of people are saying the game is better, whether it's in this thread or the impressions thread.

Definitely better IMO

I thought you weren't getting '18, because it was the same game as '17 and anyone who bought it "got duped"?

If you're on the fence still, why not go back to your buddy's house and play some more then you can make up your own mind as to whether to buy or not instead of reading reviews that are all over the place?

I just post to irrate you guys who are MLB th boys. I mean come on. You think the game is God's gift. Yeah I did play it over my buddies what is so funny about that. I played 3 inning and it played exactly as 17. I wanted to find out if it gets better as you play more. Actually my buddy returned it cause it's crap. My girl was gonna get it for me so what's wrong with asking a questions and having my opinion. If opinions don't jive with your saying it's great you put down people lol

If it's defiantly better then why is it better state facts. Why is there so many threads saying it's broken and patches don't work. The fielding took a hit and 'all that nonsense. If it was so much better there wouldn't be so many negative threads.

How many threads you going to start? For someone who played a WHOLE 3 innings you sure posted a lot of crap in your other thread. If it’s crap, then go with your buddies feelings.

How convenient your buddy returned his copy.

If you feel that anyone who bought '18 is getting duped because of reviews, your buddy returning his copy because it was crap, and your thoughts that the game is the same as '17, then why in the hell are you even thinking about buying? Why would you want to get duped? Why would you want your girl to get duped?

You don't need to answer because we all already know the answer.

You're a troll. Nothing more, nothing less.
