The pickoffs at first are still too crazy.* Even with high speed, and high BR attributes, a one button push lead, you get picked off.* It's been in every edition for years.* It really needs to be addressed.* The other thing is the insane diving catches by outfielders.* Sure, some they drop and keep it near, but there's some that they miss entirely and what should be a single if played properly, becomes an XBH or HR.
Overall though, I do indeed LOVE THE GAME.* Aside from my 2 peeves, the rest of the game is tight, and I am addicted.* I do disagree about the new MtO mode.* I don't really play franchise (I'm usually playing DD, which this year has been AWESOME.* I've actually got more than 1 or 2 diamond players.* I have a lot actually...* Between pitchers and position players I've got 10 or 11.* I've only purchased 1 diamond player, and that was Torii Hunter, who I never really use because Lorenzo Cain is severely underrated (I'm a Yankees fan just FYI). But MtO I've played through a season with the Yankees, Brewers, and currently with the Reds.* I love that the season doesn't take long, and puts me in* pivotal moments in the games that are played by me.* I'd like to start the games a little earlier than the 6th, maybe in the 5th...* I know there's games they start you out earlier.* But overall I really think the mode has legs, and will keep me plenty busy when I'm not in DD.* I haven't really even checked out franchise yet.* I know you can turn your MtO into one after the first season.* I'd rather be able to continue with MtO.* The one real knock I find on MtO is the ability to call up players from (At least) AAA.* Instead you've got to wait til September call ups.* You can however trade minor Leaguers when approached.* Odd kind of...* But I hope they allow more leeway if they (HOPEFULLY) keep the mode in next year's game.
One thing that bugs me about RttS is the caps on my players attributes.* I know you can raise them...* But that's time consuming.* I wasn't a huge fan of the way attributes went up and down with the new way they introduced it last year.* Attributes can go down if you have an 0-3 game, even if you had 3 solid ABs.**
I can't disagree that this is definitely the best baseball video game I've played.* It rivals High Heat, 2k when they had good baseball (2k9 was my favorite of that series) and MVP.* I'd like to see them take a page out of MVPs playbook, and have the ball flash for a nanosecond prior to release by the pitcher.* I always thought that was a great feature in MVP overlooked.* It's really a solid way to "read pitches".* Shocked it hasn't been used by SDS for The Show.
