No one is knocking the gameplay this year, it's great and much better in my opinion than previous iterations.

The issue at hand is why in the hell they can't get something as simple as schedules correct. The fact that the Angels, Dodgers and a few other teams play almost no night games is a disgrace.

Yeah I’m beginning to accept that they are never going to fix it.

If you can do without the new equipment updates, going back to 20 with a 2021 roster from the vault is the best decision you could make.

Any recommendations on which roster in the vault to use with the 2021 rosters? Think I’m gonna be heading back to 20.

I’ve been playing 20. It’s still fantastic and the sound of crack of the bat is not messed up like it is in 21.

It seems like they’ve improved that recently…… maybe I’m wrong but it seems better lately to me

I wish the Devs still commented on this board.

I need someone to confirm something for me.

A friend of mine and I got into a discussion earlier today. He was under the impression that the "contact" swing that the Devs were talking about in the title update was the X swing (PS4/5) Nothing I could say to him could convince him otherwise.

Now, I am 100%positive that X is the normal swing, and O is the contact swing that the update toned down. But, even showing a screen shot of the controls screen couldn't convince him that the X swing was not the contact swing.

I really wish a DEV could confirm that the X swing was not affected at all by this update.

The contact swing is the O button on PS and the B button is contact on Xbox. They didn't touch anything for the normal swing which is either X or A

They definitely changed the perfect/perfect bat sounds on playstation to how it was last year. On Xbox, it still sounds the same for some reason

Re: MLB The Show 21 Patch 11 Available Today - Patch Notes

While I'm here, I have played about 6-7 games post patch on both Series X and PS5 and I swear the game looks a bit more crisp and clean. Graphically something looks a tad different, and it looks really good. Also, on Series X, the game has run smoother since the patch. Usually the game stutters like crazy on hits down the line and I saw hardly any of that at all. It was a pleasant surprise. Anybody else noticing stuff like this or are my 41 yr old eyes starting to get bad? Haha

I am not a dev (obviously) contact swing is the “O” button (PS) and normal swing is the “X” button.

The patch is specifically talking about how they toned down the “contact” swing which online cheesers were abusing for HR’s with power hitters and the “inflated cover the entire strike zone” PCI that comes along with it.

I always use the contact swing when in:

0-2 or 1-2 count
Want to simply make contact for a potential sac fly to move a runner
Want to shorten my swing to hit a ground ball to move a runner.

In a 2-2 or 3-2 count with men on base and a very weak hitter up

I Always use contact swing for pitchers hitting as well.

I rarely ever use the Power swing (Square button). In fact the only time is either a 3-0 green light or 3-1 count with a big lead or desperate for a dinger in a tight game with a great power hitter.

Confession. I am not an online player but I cheesed the CPU with contact swings as well.

Guilty.
