If they honestly brought back the strikeouts from 2023 I swear to God I'll never purchase this game ever again. I'm out of town and won't play again until Wednesday. Sure hope they didn't do what I think they did.

I don't think much changed on simulation mode, there are too many Ks on competitive mode for my liking, so I upped the foul ball slider (I wish they would have left comp mode alone as well).

I wish I could play on simulation mode with pinpoint pitching, it's much harder for me on competitive. The alternative would be for me to switch to classic pitching, but I can't bring myself to move away from PP at the moment.

I have noticed slightly more swings and misses but it's not an unreasonable amount at all. It's still mostly with my top pitchers. I'm happy with it. Still don't think it needed to be changed but they didn't ruin the game or anything like I had feared. I still think most(not all) of the complaints were from people that were mad they couldn't get through an inning in 2 minutes, or that just don't have the patience for baseball. But it is what it is. It still plays great. More similar to the pitching in 22 than 23 IMO.

I agree with you on people not fully grasping how baseball at bats work and that some at bats are a real battle, and that's how it should be. Prior to this patch, I hadn't even noticed anything wrong with foul balls.

I'm just saying, though, the 2 games I played last night seemed very smooth and normal. 24 has been great all around. I don't chart percentages and over analyze anything like some guys do ( more power to them ) . I just go by feel. If it feels right, I'm good.

I think people get caught up in the fact that a change happens so they have immediate reactions.

If they struck out 12 hitters prior to change then all good. Strike out 12 hitters post change and suddenly the patch broke the game.

The game suddenly isn’t allowed to be organic simply because of a change that in all likelihood has very little effect on the game itself and outcomes over the course of a season.

A couple of the complaints that stood out to me were, "I threw 50 pitches through 2 innings" - Yes, that's baseball. "foul, foul, foul, foul, gapper" yes, also baseball. "My pitchers are gassed by the 5th inning" Yes, again, that's baseball. I think a lot of the complainers is mostly kids that think every game is a 20 to nothing complete game shutout with 16 homeruns and 20 strike outs. I think this because that's how my nephews play.

But I agree the game still feels good. Still the best of the series.

A lot of truth in this comment.

This is the only sports game I can play on default sliders thanks to dynamic difficulty. Has anyone tried this? I am not seeing any of the gameplay complaints mentioned. I have seen much better pitch counts on quick counts due to less foul balls.

Is there a way to reset my dynamic difficulty level so I can start at a specific level? I’d like to start at HOF vs beginner. I know I can play exhibition games and adjust sliders to work my way up but I’d love to set my dynamic difficulty to HOF from the start and jump into my current franchise right away. Thx.

Wow I think you're right on the money. Those tough outings make the game great IMO.

Right on, but our problem is SDS is heavily listening to those kids and doing all they can to satisfy a group of people who only way they think a sports game can be played is online with boosted players.

It’s not just The Show, all sports game suffering of this trend. Those SDS, EA, 2K of this world have no respect for the Franchise community who carried them since the beginning.

You're right, sadly. That's why the games have been getting progressively easier throughout the years. Like perfect/perfect, for example used to be difficult to achieve. It was a rare occurrence when it was first introduced. Now I see several a game.

Thank you. It seems like nothing changes from others comments thankfully.

Definitely recommend classic pitching. DJ said it best above. It does make you think more strategically when pitching. Especially when a certain pitch is not locating the entire game and you really have to pick and choose when and how to attempt that pitch.

In what way is SDS only trying to satisfy and listening to kids/online players while disrespecting the offline/franchise community???

I think if you set difficulty to default hall of fame, and have played a game, then switch to dynamic it would start from that point.

Thanks. I got it set to HOF and will give dynamic difficulty a shot. Do you leave the dd slider at 5 and just let it play out? Or have you zeroed out the slider once you got to a difficulty level that’s working for you?

SDS is probably the only one that doesn’t cater to just online anymore. 2K does a lot of good offline details and gameplay is great, but the shooting mechanism is 100% dictated by online feedback. Don’t have to say anything about EA other than none of their titles look remotely close to the real life sport anymore (especially FIFA/EAFC).

SDS needs to keep adding more depth to the modes, but the gameplay not being touched is against what a lot of those online gamers want and I’m happy they stand their ground.

Set to 5 I like it dynamic.
