    It’s like some sound files are playing at half-volume or less. Like a sound that’s supposed to be in the center channel but it’s in the back-right channel, so half of us aren’t hearing it at all, etc.

    I’m 100% convinced there’s new stuff there and it’s better that what was there last year, it’s just not firing correctly. They will fix this.

    Just one man’s opinion.
    I don’t actually care about any of this.

      The conquest menus are disgusting! So much color banding that it's distracting. Why oh why did SDS do this? Also, my team logo finally showed up but it's going off my home helmet and I changed it but it's still the same even though it's nowhere else. A glitch for sure.

        RTTS really is a mess. The bugs are bad enough but even after that it's just fundamentally full of bad design decisions.

        I initially thought the idea of loadouts was cool but they quite simply don't make sense unless I'm missing something.

        The whole mode is pushing the 2 way player narrative but what I've found is you can be a good at hitting or good at pitching. I don't see how you can be good at both with a 50 cap. The purpose of loadouts was to add a risk reward element which I guess in theory is cool but it doesn't translate. I can pick a pitching loadout when I pitch so I can be good at pitching. I can pick a loadout when I'm a hitter so I'm good at hitting.

        So if I can just pick either with a loadout why not just let us have a pitching and hitting loadout combined? None of its tied together, you are either a pitcher or a hitter so why does it matter?

        Instead I have to switch between them all the time. Ok maybe not a big deal but It leads me to why this is real dumb IMO. What happens when you are a pitcher without a DH? I'm a .300 40 homerun 100 RBI hitter........unless I'm pitching. When I'm pitching I can't hit my way out of a wet paper bag. lol

        I dunno. Thats just so dumb and unrealistic.

          Played the game quite a bit over the past couple of days and the past couple of games have gone the same. I get close to no hit for the first few innings of a game, then get a bunch of hits, score a few runs and then either win or lose the game. Also, I am playing with the Jays and Springer is absolutely TERRIBLE. I put him second in my line up and he rarely makes contact with the ball and is current hitting under .100 which makes no sense at all. Even with edited attributes, he rarely makes contact with the ball! Weird.

          Making decent contact in general seems to be random or I don't know what I am doing wrong. Jansen leads my team in homers which I guess makes sense since he hits ninth and gets more fastballs to hit or something, but this game just seems random and I should not be close to no hit by some no name pitcher on the Angels!

            Start messing around with different cameras. I was having the same issue. Hitting is definitely a little harder this year but I’m noticing the cpu is having the same problem as me. Once I moved to Wide camera my hitting had improved drastically. The game is skewed more towards pitching, no matter what level you play at. A few slider changes and a better camera angle has given me great results.

              We trailed 7-1 after the 5th.

                The more I play the more I’m appreciating the game play. Def the best in a video game, at least to me. I was leaning to not getting 21 because I had a carryover save from 14. But the game play on 21 has me forgetting carry over though.

                  Same here man. At first I was like forget this stupid game with some of the losses we had with SOTS and Y2Y saves but now I’m really digging the game play.

                  One thing I must say that just started to bug me recently is the birds in center field lol. It was a cool added feature but they have the same pattern the fly in and they’re huge birds so I almost feel like I’m playing duck hunt with their flying pattern.

                    The stadium creator is FANTASTIC. Ignore MOST of the gadawful creations you see in the vault...and there are thousands . I’ve been able to either edit what came with the game, or some of the really good creations off the vault and now have 30 terrific stadiums that I can visit/use during my franchise. There are some creative ways to get some signage on the walls, etc.

                    Yes, no night games at the moment, and I can live with that, but these stadiums can help break up the grind of a 162 game season. Now, gotta finish this roster and start my season. May be ready to roll by Tuesday.

                      Would you mind giving me the name in the vault of your favorite stadium please?

                        I am enjoying pinpoint pitching so much, it’s the perfect amount of challenge without being impossible and a complete breath of fresh air. I do think we need an opportunity to throw a few pitches on the mound before the game starts though as we can with a pitching change because i find Im walking the first batter a lot because it takes a few pitches to get the timing right.

                        Can’t wait to give the stadium creator a try and see if I can create Camelback Ranch, spring training home of the Dodgers.

                        Gameplay is so smooth but even on broadcast presentation I do wish it would let the real-time presentation play through, it’s better but it still cuts quickly sometimes.

                          Ha.....there’s a big problem trying to even find it. Last time I looked there were probably 8,000 in the vault. There is no way to locate a particular stadium. You would have to scroll thru each page (8 on a page) to find it. What were they thinking. Honestly, 90% of them are dumb, repetitive, silly.

                            Not really a bug but I noticed when the ball hits the net behind home plate it hits off it like there is a wall there. I think its been like that for a while. Can we add some realistic physics so the ball goes into the netting?

                            Another thing I noticed is when a hitter hits a popup in foul territory they don't even watch the ball to see what happens. Just add those little things and to bring the immersion up and the game will be that much better!

                              The birds are definitely a bit overdone. They are a cool detail that would be even better in measure. Have them just not appear in some day games, have them come in mid game, have them from the start then leave after a bit (maybe birds come back flying over the field later sometimes).

                              No idea how much work that’d be asking them to do for birds haha, but make it feel natural and real.

                                I've really tried to gove pinpoint a chance, but even with best pitchers, seems if I hit 90% or higher most pitches still out of strike zone, cannot figure out why? Any pointers? This is on All Star. Classic for me until I can figure out what I am doing wrong..
