Too many HR's?

Definitely seems like non-power hitters are able to carry the ball further this year.

Ten games into my franchise and outside of one game I haven't had a home run derby affair. My average is probably two HRs a game between myself and the CPU. Default sliders All star hitting, Hall of Fame pitching.

Its weird because the end box scores look realistic hit wise and such, its just there does seem to be a bit to many HR's. I dont think its horrible out of the box, but I did lower the slider one spot to the left.

Otherwise I am feeling the game plays pretty realistically.

I think the bigger issue isn't the home run frequency, but the type of hitters hitting them & the ridiculous distance they're going. Guys with 50 power rating shouldn't be consistently hitting 470ft no-doubters. I had one game where Didi Gregorius hit an opposite field 460ft bomb. In this year's game, it feels like everyone in the lineup, 1 through 9, are legitimate power threats which detracts the realism from previous MLBs.

Switched the power to 4, hit 11 in a game. Rosario had 3, Kepler had 3 wth!

default sliders execpt power on 4, all-star...... kinda ruined the game for me lol

And it's the same with contact ratings. At All Star level everyone get a huge PCI ( and online you play All Star ). So nearly everyone in the lineup have good contact and good power. We lost all the good player characterization in one big swing for DD players. I remember on a live stream something strange during the devs tournament. At one point one of them ask: "Why the PCI is so massive ?". And the other one show him the All Star setting. It's here, 2:17:40

In terms of balance, realism and simulation, it's a big step back from The Show 16.

Are people seeing this online or offline or is it affecting both?
