I've played the show series for 3 years now and I must say, from being an "other" gamer for so many years, this game is definitely the best I've ever played. With that said, it seems to me this Year's iteration is a bit easier. Last year I played on HoF difficulty and literally stopped playing mid-year because I couldn't win (I know, I should've gone down in difficulty, I'm stubborn). And I didn't feel like I was cheated or anything, I was just outplayed. But this year seems a bit easier (which is a good thing, this is NOT a complalint, Pared). I'm playing on HoF batting and Legend pitching and granted I've only played a handful of games, but I'm definitely winning a higher percentage of games this year. Does anyone else seem to have an easier time winning in this Year's game?

It's not just you.
I was the same last year, I stopped playing mid-year as I wasn't having much success and was too stubborn to turn down the difficulty.
However this year I'm winning more games, not too many though.
I'm definitely enjoying this years game a lot more. -

Not me. This is the worst I've played after 50 games since the advent of the PS3. I'm adjusting the sliders a bit, but the AI fielding seems so good and fast. I'm not seeing many doubles and I've yet to see a bloop hit. I think the outfields are too small.Comment

Re: Is it just me or does the game seem a bit easier this year?
yes, then i tried pulse pitching on legend (decreased sliders for hum pitching control/consistency) and zone analog batting on legend, and legend fielding analog style (increased error sliders) with meter on....now after every game the cpu gives me a present...i open it...well looky there...it's my butt handed back to me again gift wrapped.Comment

Well for me, this is the best hitting I've done in the 3 years I've had a PS3 and been playing The Show. I have never had so much success, granted I've been playing in Toronto for the majority of my games being I'm using the Blue Jays so that might explain my hitting success. It may also explain how bad my pitching has been this year. I personally think it's because I'm too predictable for the A.I. and they take advantage and light me up, and also I'm playing in Toronto as I said, easy pickings for a HR.Comment

Not necessarily easier but it seems like the Cpu is less likely to to match you blow for blow. Last year on higher skill levels everytime I scored a run the CPU scored 3. Score 4 runs they score 6, regardless of how well you were pitching. This year though I've been able to maintain leads if I'm playing well.Comment

can't hit very many homers this year, that seems more difficultComment

Yeah I see it's easier, but playing it on Legend was absolutely fun! Try it (for batting)
Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.Comment

I am getting hammered. I managed to do decent last year, won 97 games, this year I can't win one. All-Star seems to be cranked up, at least when batting.EPL - Arsenal

Re: Is it just me or does the game seem a bit easier this year?
I don't really see too much difference in the difficulty between this year and last year at all.
What level do you pitch on and what level do you bat?
What control interface do you use.
What are your universal settings?
It all matters.Now Playing on PS5:

Re: Is it just me or does the game seem a bit easier this year?
As do I. I wouldn't say last year was 'regardless of how well you were pitching' but it definitely feels easier to hold leads this year. I feel more of an ebb and flow to the pitching, as opposed to the "random chaos" of last year's linescores.Comment

I'm hitting more home runs this year, but getting torn up with ground balls in the infield this year as well (when pitching). Offensively, I'm doing much better though. A few more strikeouts here and there with the umpires ringing me up on certain pitches, but that's it.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: Is it just me or does the game seem a bit easier this year?
It's definitely easier for me this year. The two things I think make this happen is the fact that you can actually see the ball coming out of the pitchers hand and the adjusted default batting camera.
For 3 years pitch recognition was simply guessing for me. Now I bat with confidence, work the count, draw walks and get big hits including more homeruns.
In my RTTS, I'm hitting .363, 10 HR, 77 RBI, 13 Walks in like 350 plus AB's. This on HOF.PSN: ToxicitiComment
