Name ONE single thing that bothered you about the gameplay this year.

Re: Name ONE single thing that bothered you about the gameplay this year.

Suppose you want to only pitch (or hit) in a game...it is very annoying to have the CPU take control of managerial decisions when you fast forward a half inning.

Example: I don't have time or don't want to bat in the game, so I want to pitch for 9 innings and be in complete control of my bullpen. However, after you 'retire the side' and your batters come up, you have to fast forward a half inning to get back to pitching. After doing this and especially late in the game all of a sudden a new pitcher is on the mound. I don't want him, I want my starter back!

Since you can't save games I normally only have time to pick between pitching and hitting, not both. Most often I go with pitching because I enjoy it more than hitting. And I'm not saying the CPU makes bad bullpen moves, it's just that I want to be in control of it. The CPU won't even give you a warning such as putting a guy warming up in the pen. It's just 'poof' they're in the game now. And when I warm up the guy I want to come in sometimes the CPU uses someone else. Frustrating!

Can you elaborate? Were both options too confusing for you or something...? Just wondering what you don't like about it.

Sorry for the late response.

I just played the heck out of MVP so I loved their system where you could highlight the base that your runner was on, then control just that runner. With Show, I never felt like I had complete control over any runner. Hitting a sac fly with runners on the corners was such a chore for me. I do like how you can stop the runner with R2 but I just feel like they can tighten up the system overall.

Maybe it's just me, but after playing 162 it just never felt as fluid as MVP once did.

And its only November so there is still time to get these issues fixed before MLB 10 The Show is released!

Glad you think there is enough time for everything.

Fielding / Throwing!

Agree 100% this is the biggest problem with this game. Fielding and throwing..

Ahhhhhrrghhh. The throw meter does not work! The throw meter does not work! tHE THroW mETEr DOes NOT worK!

I think they know about this now. I'm sure it is on their list. If it were easy to fix, I'm sure they would have done it already.

I apologize in advance. I just had to vent after reading the 1000th post about this issue. Consider it a celebration of repetition, repetition, repetition...

Phew, that's better.

ok.. Was this necessary

Well, isn't it obvious MLB '10 will be the second coming and there will be peace in the world?

Guys should temper their expectations a bit. I'm sure some of these issues will be addressed. To the extent that will make guys happy here, who knows! OS is a fickle bunch.

Should've made a template like Ramone did in the wishlist forums.

Here is the template...

Ok so maybe not "everything" but a lot of the issues anyway

Didn't read the entire thread so I apologize if this is repeated.

Ball physics - I think it would go a long way to see better ball physics. Most times, a ball will hit a player/glove and just completely stop instead of bouncing or rolling away. I'd like to see more tailspin/slice/english on the ball. Balls hit down the line should spin and roll towards the corner of the outfield instead of staying right on the line. Because of this, I think there is too many hits that are held to singles when it really should be doubles. And I'd like to see more high choppers and the like.

you sir, are correct. Glad you brought this up. I, too, hated when a player would dive and deflect or slow down the ball and it would just stop rolling like a rock. SCEA guys, I hope you're reading these posts!

I have a good feeling they will address that issue. Just a hunch!

Who knows? IMO it was a bug or something (pure speculation). I just hope if it is, they can squash it. The hit variety would improve greatly if they can address it.

Bunting:

Sac, drag, and push bunts should be more easy to execute. It is difficult (just about impossible) to pull a bunt back once you square around when you see the pitch is going to be a ball. This is definitely an issue online where in obvious bunt situations opponents will throw balls on purpose because the batter can't pull the bat back.

Also, good bunters who have speed are thrown out too often on well placed drag bunts. It seems like speedy players aren't running hard down the 1st baseline often times. Also a good bunter with speed should also be able to push bunt (Rt hand batter-place it between the pitcher and 1st base) which isn't currently available as a skill in the game.

All I have for now on the fine art of bunting

Online: Hit and run broken

Offline and online: L-stick aim location not recognized unless you were super early. What resulted was swings right down the middle. Window for aiming location should be open until contact is made.

Surprised this has only been mentioned once, but YES the hit and run is completely broken online. Must fix!
