Re: MLB The Show 23 Patch #9 Available Today - Patch Notes

Yea, i saw that before but no wind in wrigley is weird for 4 straight games. Then went to boston where it has been storming for 2 straight games and no wind. Im not saying theres not games where the wind doesnt blow above 2mph in wrigley or that sometimes it can be raining without a decent wind, but those two together, and the fact ive not seen that “no wind” in 55 previous games makes me wonder.

The wind for me has been the same as it was pre-patch

Playing out the last series of my franchise on AS+, lost 13-2 and 9-1 my last two games. Observation: be careful thinking you want the AI to hit you harder. Like I said in my last post, there’s nothing wrong with it being *sorta* easy to hold the AI to 4 or less runs.

I played another game with Foul Frequency at 0 on Legend, and I'm less skeptical that Foul Frequency also adjusts pitch recognition for the CPU. Once again the CPU definitely seemed to have worse pitch recognition. Chase Rate wasn't quite as high as my last game, but still quite a bit higher than every other game I've played with the slider at 5 (and I was using a MUCH worse pitcher this time around). The called strikes were also on the higher side, but this time not too crazy.

But I saw a lot more really bad chases, a lot more of the really quick check swing animation, and a lot more swings with awful timing than I normally see. So I'm going to try playing with Foul Frequency at 4 and see how that works for me. Along with CPU Contact at 5, Power at 8, Timing at 5, and Solid Hits at 5 (and control/consistency both at 2).

I don’t know if this can be fixed with a patch but they really need to tone down the amount of ground rule doubles. I feel like I see at least one per series

I was curious about this too. I am not sure how often they actually occur irl.

Agreed! I think overall the ball physics are outstanding. But the ball definitely bounces way too hard off the field. Sometimes it looks like a bouncy ball going off the grass.

I tried to find some numbers earlier but couldn’t find anything. I feel like I’ve had more balls bounce over the side wall at Citi Field in my one season than there has been in Citi Field’s 15 years being open IRL

I think the ball physics are awful lol. I've had the ball just bounce right over my outfielder's head on bloopers. The ball ricochets off the backstop like crazy on wild pitches. The ball slows down way too quickly on grounders in the outfield (I've had the ball almost stop moving entirely before an outfielder gets to it). Then there's the bat off the ball physics like bunts (the ball comes off the bat WAY too hard on bunts; that's why sacrifice bunts and bunt hits down the 3B line are so difficult and drag bunts to 2B are so easy) and there are way too many flyballs and not enough ground balls.

Let me clarify, when I say the ball physics are outstanding, I mean the way it comes off the bat. It does bounce way too high off the ground and I've had bloopers bounce over my fielder's heads too. I thought they had said they toned down the high bounces last year but I'm not seeing much of a change.

Re: MLB The Show 23 Patch #9 Available Today - Patch Notes

I've actually thought the Automatic Doubles had been toned down from last year or even from release (of 23).

In 22 and upon release of 23, it seemed I'd see one every 4 or 5 games. I had one yesterday, and I'd bet it was the first one in 20 or 30 games.

It makes me wonder if it is somehow a side effect of a particular slider (Solid Hits?). I don't know, though.

I'm playing on all star default and I can say I see them way to often compared to real life. I know it's just a game, but it's still excessive in my opinion.

I’ve killed the commentary, it’s just all over the place. To be fair however I usually end up disabling it for every sports game, as it’s just the nature of the beast for it to get repetitive over time.

I don’t understand why they took out the option of shutting the color guy off completely and just having the play by play guy on.
