The Show maybe got it right after all.....

[forme95]

Any one else notice the amount of home runs, HR distances over 450+ ft, multiple HR games, player multiple HR games, and wacky season this year with cycles being hit, the way the game is pitched, even played for that matter....

Now I'm saying this as an offline franchise player. Don't know thing one (or care to know) about DD, conquest, qc, or quick manage, nor do I play online.
Mainly I am saying is the RL MLB seems to be playing a lot different this year.

I did notice there have been a ton of long homeruns already this year - like 450+ shots. Real life baseball likes to prove us wrong about The Show in so many ways.

But it's mostly guys that should be hitting them that far that are IRL. My problem in the game is that guys with 30-ish power were hitting massive homeruns like that (when the wind was blowing out).

That said, I haven't seen that yet since the patch (albeit in limited time since I haven't been playing the game much lately). I'm getting back into it more now though so I should be able to find out whether or not it's still happening.

Alexi Amarista just hit an opposite field HR in this evening's Rockies/D-Backs game at Chase Field. SDS has him rated only as a 30s power hitter in the game and yet here he is hitting an opposite field HR in the real world.

I mean, sure guys like that can clear the fence once in a while. That's expected.

But I watched that HR and it was a wall-scraper. This is the kind of thing I saw pre-patch (which, to repeat, I have seen nothing of the sort post-patch yet):



That shouldn't happen.

Jack Lambs belts a 481 foot HR.

But the Rockies still won the game.

Yeah no, pre 1.04 wasn't an accurate representation of MLB Baseball.

Without a doubt, some of the things we are complaining about regarding MLB 17 (too many HRs and too many wild pitches/passed balls) need to be toned down as yes they are happening too often in our games. But these things are also happening in the real world games. I just watched one game this evening that seemed to have it all. Rockies vs D-Backs. It had a 481 foot HR, an opposite field HR hit by one of the smaller guys in the league (a guy who will never hit a HR in this game because SDS claims this player has no skills), two wild pitches in the top of the 9th inning which blow the lead and another wild pitch in the bottom of the 9th which does not blow the game, but was still the 3rd wild pitch in one inning.

Baseball can be a crazy game at times.

I sincerely believe if SIE felt they got it right, they wouldnt have patched it away.
