MLB The Show 20 Patch 1.04 Available Now - Patch Notes and Discussion

Re: MLB The Show 20 Patch 1.04 Available Now - Patch Notes and Discussion

They tuned hitting and power. With the sliders I was using before, everything was spot on. Now I'm at polar opposites. So I had to up the FB speed to the slider of 8 to even make it challenging. But now I strike out a lot. So I'm getting a decent number of hits, but opposing pitchers are striking me out in bunches. Drop it to 7 and I can easily rack up 15 hits. And that's with my hit slider and timing sliders at 0. I know, I know...try another set or a different type. Well, I don't want to. I like the game the way I play it. So now the whole thing is an exercise of slider-itus, and once again I'll do this and it sucks the life out of the game for me. The out of the box smoothness and stats I were getting was so much fun. Now, not so much... I get it. I'm one person. But that's how I feel.

This exactly. Out of the box on legend was a great game of baseball. Now it's back to a pile of crap and I'm sick of this every damn year.

Only a suggestion fellas but you guys who like default or even your own sliders try 1 change for me and report back after 10 gms.

Lower your timing down to 2 or 3 and see if this what you like to fix to many hrs.

Do it for CPU as well.

I agree with that in my initial review I liked that I was getting the CPU to swing and miss. That is gone.

I thought homeruns were too many before, now I rarely strikeout. Seems like i.cannot swing and miss either.

I guess I’m in the minority cause I really like the game since the patch. This is the first year in a very long while where the cpu on default legend is challenging! Please don’t make them easy next patch, it’s been like 5 years or more that they have had no offence in mlb the show

Re: MLB The Show 20 Patch 1.04 Available Now - Patch Notes and Discussion

So, just to clarify are we talking about a "stealth change" here since SDS said nothing about this patch affecting offline difficulty (only DD hitting)?

I'm glad B Ma got his two cents in before people start bringing it to this.....

DD = Diamond Dynasty for the purpose of this post.

Yeah for me the hitting for both sides is the same as it was pre-patch.

Like I said in another thread I’ve hit 15 homeruns through 10 games with half those coming in two games at Shippett stadium against the Astros. The ball seems to carry there.

I’ve given up 18 homeruns in those same 10 games during Spring Training.

The last game I played against the Twins saw a combined 17 hits with only one of those being a homerun.

This is default Legend using zone hitting and meter pitching for full disclosure

Re: MLB The Show 20 Patch 1.04 Available Now - Patch Notes and Discussion

I hate the patch. I can't pick up the ball anymore against the CPU or online. I'm an older gamer and my reflexes aren't weren't they were for sure, but before the patch I could at least hit against the CPU and some against online opponents. They say the changes are just for diamond dynasty but other modes definitely feel different and this is really frustrating for a game that is been out a week to be so fundamentally changed from launch and from the beta. I know I'm in the minority but I'm really mad about this. I just want to play against the damned CPU.

You mention having trouble picking up the ball now. Have you tried lowering the pitch speed slider to see if that helps?

Game I just finished against Astros saw 3 combined homeruns (2 for me 1 for Astros) on 15 total hits.

This was at Sportsman Park

Ok, I usually try not to buy into the patch "broke" the game theory. But I am really struggling guys and need some advice. I don't usually chase sliders or Levels etc.

I am playing a Franchise with the O's so I am the worst team in Baseball. Yeah I signed up for this. I have always wanted to do a rebuilld.

I play and have always played on default All Star and default sliders, classic pitching , zone hitting.

So this mornings game I am playing the Nats so it not like this is a crap rotation. So I hit 11 home runs, the Nat hit at least 1 or 2 every inning. The final score was 18 to 14 with a total of 23 home runs.

I am not this good guys and I am not this bad either. I mean come on I was loving this game until the last few days.

So to put it simply.....................

HELP!!!

I’m not so sure why we have such a wide array of results, but I’m not sure if any suggestions can be given unless the gamer lists his settings/all of them. There are so many variables that I don’t think a generic guess to the individual problems can be given.

Re: MLB The Show 20 Patch 1.04 Available Now - Patch Notes and Discussion

I mean yeah I can bring the sliders down but that's not going to put the fun back my dude. I was doing fine before, and the difference is so stark that I can no longer say "that's baseball." I was having fun, now I'm not having fun. It's really frustrating with how much I was enjoying 20 before the patch. What's even more frustrating is that they just couldn't help themselves and they made the changes to vs. CPU too even though the release notes for the patch clearly state DD.

The patch is garbage. I don't really know what else to say about it.

Re: MLB The Show 20 Patch 1.04 Available Now - Patch Notes and Discussion

The new dynamic which causes fielders to bobble ground ball needs to be scaled back. Starling Marte has made 2 errors in this manner in 3 games on relatively routine plays and he is an outstanding fielder. It also happens with infielders.



Keep it in the game but scaled it back or there will be record numbers of errors.

With all due respect most people do not play 162 games.

I happen to do that. And it all reverts to the mean over 162 games.

Too many over react and too many play only 30,40,50 games a season etc.

Not saying you do. But fortunately the devs do not over react either.

Thank goodness.

I don’t know man.....I am getting incredible games.

Everything from day one is still there for me.

Just not having that. I am getting the cpu to swing an miss plenty. Also get them looking.

Anyway I will bow out of this thread. I simply am enjoying this game immensely.

Yeah agree.

And anyone who wants to know my settings can read the OP of my slider thread and also tune in to my streams as I do a lot of video.

And BCruise and I just had an epic Custom Leauge game (Diamond Dynasty set up with 80 overall caps on all teams)

Online is playing amazingly well this year.
