Played while it's raining for 1st time. Constant rain is fine, but constant thunder is a bit too much, especially because there would't be a game, if there is a thunderstorm in the area.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Impressions Thread
This is the first Show in years I'm not really having fun with. Not sure what happened but I can't get anyone out online anymore. Not sure what it is...Maybe everyone has their hitting settings on timing only or something. Pretty disappointed.Comment

Re: MLB The Show 24 Impressions Thread
One thing I'd like for them to address in the future is the crowds.
San Diego fans are still wearing navy. I'm wearing the City Connect uniforms in Boston right now, and not a single speck of yellow or light blue in the crowd.Boston Red Sox

Re: MLB The Show 24 Impressions Thread
There might not be a better feeling in sports than drilling a pitch deep into the night. I feel like The Show emulates that feeling pretty well. 18f72e536fa61-screenshotUrl.jpegJUUUUUUUST A BIT OUTSIDEComment

MLB The Show 24 Impressions Thread
First a little context. I’ve played 600 hours on MLBTS23 and have played 291 on MLBTS24, so this opinion comes from a lot of game time.
Starting to get really frustrated with 24. It has some really redeeming qualities but the game play is just stale to me. Hit variety is way down compared to last year, especially on the USER side. Seems like everything I hit is either a HR or a single. Hitting was literally perfect for me last year. Last year if felt like my players ratings really mattered. If I got a perfect timing with Gunnar Henderson, it’s probably a HR but not always. Get one with Adam Frazier and it’s still a pop up half the time, which I love. This year feels like anything I time up well, with any player, is an automatic HR. Then on top of that you barely see any swing and miss from the USER this year unless your timing is really bad or the pitch is in the dirt. Last year, on default HOF, the USER could swing and miss on pitches right down the middle even with good timing. Which I really liked because it leads to more strikeouts for the USER and you see it happen in real baseball all the time.
Then we get to the CPU. At times it’s really fun to pitch them but then at times they make me want to throw my PS5 out of my window lol. I can’t explain the amount of times I got the CPU in a 3-2 count only for them to foul off 10 pitches in a row. Knowing the only way the at bat is going to end is either with a walk or a ball being absolutely crushed. This alone has ruined the fun for me. This happens multiple times every game to me and it’s really unfortunate.
One final thing I’ve noticed on both sides of the ball is outfielders getting to everything. Last year on default sliders way more balls fell in for base hits, plus on top of that way more balls were just out of the reach of outfielders gloves where you never really knew if it was going to be caught. Seems like this year if an outfielder is anywhere near a ball he is going to track it down.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Impressions Thread
The fact that players now not assigned to contracts but under team control (arbitration and contract renewable) are tradable is a HUGE HUGE win for franchise players.
Also they finally fixed contract renewable players. You can either negotiate with them or renew their contracts, something previously you couldn't unless you left them un-signed until the last day of the offseason.
Two small/non back of the box improvements that are absolute wins for franchise players.

Following up on this now that I'm a few weeks into the offseason and I don't see noticeable difference between last year and this year.I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Impressions Thread
Love the variety I'm getting.
A week ago, I thought about moving the timing slider to 0 because I felt I was hitting too well. Ultimately I decided to just stick with default HOF. I've now been shut out twice in my last four games.Comment
