Lol chipotle was great!!!

I've played 5 games in franchise with the Marlins. Usually I play fast play but I played with full presentation. The commentary is very new.

Hitting seems a bit eaisier (maybe just some beginners luck). But the hit variety is amazing. I love how the thing on the side says how many mph the ball is hit. Hardest I've seen is 118 mph by Bryce Harper. I also love the new camera for hitting.

Pitching seems harder as I've unraveled outings late in games with a couple
of pitchers.

The graphics are amazing. I don't know any sports game that has better graphics right now.

Overall the improvements are drastic i love the game so far. Feel free to message me any questions you have!

In a word, STUNNING!

The most dramatic change is that you can finally pull pitches, including fastballs, without fearing that you will always be late on a pitch. This is HUGE imo and makes the game so much more fun.

The graphics/presentation have an extra depth to them. Overall, it is very immersive and beyond impressive. A grand slam!!!

Precision Gameplay Input has affected Meter and Analog different IMO.

Check out my impressions!

The more i play the more i love hitting.

IMHO best hitting experience ever, and it's not even close.

The combination zone-analog-stride-precision input provides such an authentic experience.

I agree, at first look hitting may seem easier. But i don't think it is, it's precision input combined with pitch recognition (improved a lot from last year, also thanks to new camera angles)

I thought that hitting was easier, now I'm getting dominated. I can't see the low pitch and the pitchers are exploiting the hell out of me. I played on catcher classic 2 last year and even with custom cameras I can't see to replicate that view. I love everything about this game, just going to have to re-learn to hit, though I wish they'd just left that camera in, or at least made it achievable in custom.

just finished playing my first game while it installed and I am using dynamic difficulty and I held the mets to 1 hit and I won 8-0. Cespedes had their only hit, I don't think I ever done that before. Game feels easier on DD as compared to last year.
