Man I am not seeing any of the issues that a lot of people are with 1.10, especially when it comes to fielding. There is one major difference to fielding in 1.10 though: The need to feather is back. Before 1.10 you just ran to the catch spot at full speed, no questions asked. In 1.10 it brings back the whole trade off between run speed and clean fielding, and learning how and when to ease up on the stick is important again.

Did it play a sound as the ball was flying too? The higher the ball went the higher the sound got? Like the old RBI baseball for NES?

lol i had that sound in my head while it was flying into space.

Re: Patch 1.10 tomorrow

Sock colors don't change to match the uniform.

Example when you wear the Texas Rangers red alternates whatever player has stance socks they will be blue instead of red. The whole thing is way off.

I'm playing the Blue Jays in Toronto. They are wearing red uniforms but Kevin Pillar is wearing blue socks.

Yeah I'm not seeing the fielding issues either. Not sure why its different among the user base, but it is apparently.

For disclosure I play manual fielding with button throwing. Default Legend across the board and I'm playing a carryover franchise from '16

Ok...bear with me as I'm getting back into how to upload videos and embed them here from Youtube so that I can share my experiences.

In terms of bunting, this is what I'm seeing with sacrifice bunts a majority of the time. Granted not all of them are this way, but as I said a majority of them are. This is a sac bunt by Alex Reyes. His bunt rating in my game is 26.

Yeah he was wearing red socks as was one of their pitchers from the bullpen but I didn't take his pic.

To upload I copy saved photo from PS4 to USB device and then load photo from USB device onto the cpu.

Only fielding issue I'm having is Xander Bogaerts throwing one ball a game into the stands lol.

It's just him, too. Xander pls.

No not Red Sox. He clearly said Blue Jays.

Fielding is wonky for me too, two line drives have gone straight past my outfielders while standing perfectly in the landing zone, without any attempt for them to field it.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Patch 1.10 Available, Patch Notes Here

I'm working to try to upload the rest of this game. Sorry that its in the middle of the game. I'm not sure what happened to first part, but I cannot get it to upload as it kept giving error message so I deleted it.

This is on Default Legend across the board.

Since people seem to think that I'm just saying I'm not experiencing things to "protect" the game and its devs, I thought I would try to share some of my gameplay. As I get the other videos uploaded I'll add them here.

EDIT: Added videos. I hope these are in order....not sure which order I uploaded them.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Patch 1.10 Available, Patch Notes Here

So, I've been having a pretty crappy experience with this game after this patch, very frustrating.

Outfielders are now brutal. So many times they just run right past the ball.

Hitting seems to be way different than when this game shipped, and in a bad way. Hitting to me seems just like '17 now, which to me is a very bad thing. When I do square one up, I hit it right at someone. Lots of weak contact, all I hit are weak singles. I don't think I've hit a ball to even the warning track since this patch came out. When the game shipped, I was seeing a ton of variety when I hit the ball.

I was having a ton of fun playing '18, and now I don't even really want to play it anymore. Sucks because I was having so much fun playing this game. Happy for anyone that isn't having these experiences post-patch, I wish I could fall into that category. Darn

Exact same here... I was having a blast with the game, now after the patch, I'm about to use it as target practice

LIAR!

Look, there's no winning here. I bet that a lot of the complaints are gamer input, but that will be argued. There are somethings wrong with the game, sure, but I'm in your boat. I would NOT be frustrating myself with a game that just is "broken" in anyway. Wouldn't be worth my time.

Play on.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Patch 1.10 Available, Patch Notes Here

Thanks for posting that CB, looks a lot like my gameplay experience.

I wanted to ask, how do your strikeouts look on default legend? That's about the only reason I dropped CPU contact 2 clicks - because I couldn't strike anyone out. They just seemed to hit most everything on corners (even pitchers which was especially frustrating). I get plenty of swings and misses with contact down 2 clicks though - feels really balanced.

Since we're sharing, here's a stream of some gameplay I did about a week ago on my Twitch stream (2 games in around 4 hours). Quality's not great because I have a max of 2 mbps upload (which is obscenely low these days) but I think it's still watchable. I posted a specific section of this in regards to stealing some time back but this is the whole thing. Also I have the mic on and I'm talking a lot about what I'm thinking in certain situations all throughout, as well as my hitting/pitching approaches. It's not without its warts either - early on I made a bit of a mess of one of those floating line drives where they gave us control in a recent patch instead of just freezing the fielder in place - I'm not used to having control of that yet so I kinda butchered it. That's partly on the game and partly on me. I'm posting this for the good and the bad for people to take as it is.

Spoiler

Yes, I took a shot at "comeback code" at the end of the first game - That was an exhilarating win. Also WP's were an issue in the second game which led to the loss, but I might have gotten a little greedy on the low stuff in that game.
Willing to chalk that up to user error. YMMV.
