I do. Hitting feels different to me. Unfortunately it feels more like last year then it did out of the box. Not a good direction imo. You seeing the same?

Something feels different for me, only because I'm hitting many less home runs and overall being less successful. I just chalked it up to the new pitch speeds.

I dropped the pitch speed sliders down two notches after 1.05 dropped and it is looking really good if you're finding your timing to be jacked from where it had been previously.

Ball movement looks and feels so drastically different when hopping between online versus vs offline or conquest or cpu.

No hitting still feels fine to me.

I really can't put my finger on it, but when I played the game out of the box pre-patch default Legend felt like default HoF from '16 which I played all of last year. After the patch, Legend became difficult and moving back to default HoF it plays like it did in '16.

I'm very content with default HoF again. I just lost the BoSox 3-1 and the game felt and played great.

Love baseball and love the show ,but in comparison to the depth of other sports title mode wise and customization..this rendition of the show is stuck in a rut since roughly 2015.

Graphics are outstanding menus,color scheme player models etc..A+++...animations are plenty ,but to actually witness the glory on a consistent basis... still best served when set to "auto". Definitely recommend a solid slider set such as "Mike Lowe Sliders" to correlate with attributes. Out the box game play not nearly as authentic as NBA2k.

This year 2018 is only for the noobs or those who are content...such as myself...However, for 60 bucks plus I need my Online franchise, Season mode smooth servers and an upgrade in the depth and customization department to purchase...

Who I am kidding I'm loyal to the show and will still purchase next year...I'm just hoping my loyalty is not misplaced and SDS exceeds all of our expectations.

I’m seeing those celebrations in real life, in the bottom of first Céspedes hit a single with no one on and did hand gesture to Mets bench. So the Show has it right, my suggestion just enjoy it! Gameplay is awesome!

Did anyone else's user profile reset?

All my settings reset to default. I had to pick Experienced, favorite team, and set up all my options again. Not a big deal as my franchise save is fine, just caught me off guard and worried me slightly that I lost my save file.
