Mine was 19 minutes.

I do auto base-running. But I notice that when the ball is in play, I don’t see the runner markers on the diamond. I think it is there when I’m pitching but I don’t see it when I’m hitting.

I find the new pitch selection icons to be very cluttered now. Doesn’t only show 4 FB or SNK but also the description below. Looks too busy for me.

Also find the swing feedback to be a bit cluttered.

Otherwise seems pretty smooth gameplay wise to me.

Says it’s going to take 5 hours to install. I figured a few minutes at most.

Wow! Mine was 11 minutes. Yikes!

Mine says 5 hours as well on PS5. Is that just due to my internet speed? I don't usually have any problems connecting to online games, and don't really experience a ton of lag....but it always takes me forever to download games.

Most likely its your internet speed thats the issue.

I don’t think I’m going to like the new swing feedback. Seems like it popping up while the ball is in play would be a major distraction.

I'm really enjoying the game. I guess I'm in the minority here.

I get people's frustration with the graphics and models, but I'm so used to them it doesn't really bother me that much.

I do think the the field is playing a little bigger. But outfielders need to be a little slower I think. I'll try adjusting sliders.

I love the bat on ball sounds. Most realistic in the game's history imo. I've been playing since MLB Pennant Race. The ball hit the catchers mit has also gotten better. It really pops on fastballs.

I'm seeing some new animations. Especially at 1B on bad throws with the first baseman attempting to dig out the throws.

I've also noticed the ball seems to travel faster off the bat. Maybe that's just me, not sure.

I'm still excited for the game. I live and breathe baseball, and if Franchise mode gets some much needed love, well then I will be playing this game for a long time.

Wow, did they do anything at all with the game play? Besides having a slower and even easier fielder throwing meter, I can't see anything else.

Yeah it will take getting used to. I let the catcher call the game for me. It is hard to see where they want me to throw it at. It doesn’t stay visible that long.

And you have to have fielding aids on to use that. Which doesn’t make sense cause it’s not fielding.

The options menu is kind of confusing at first.

disappointed that they didn't remove the auxiliary scoreboards in Yankee Stadium and replace them with Video boards.

The graphics team took a very long vacation it seems.

So when you guys say the parks play bigger. What exactly do you mean? Is it harder to get HRs and hits? It seemed like the outfielders were able to get to everything to begin with.

I cant speak for everyone but to me it seems that new additon of the slow first step for some makes the park play bigger. Harder to get to balls in the gap if its not a good fielder

Waiting for mine to finish downloading, are you able to play with every team or just a select few?
