For hitting I'm not good enough to worry about Goat level. Pitching however has been a problem for me since MLB23 and my stats are a touch too good even when I set it to Legend+. The big thing is the infielder fielding as I think that can impact strategies and roster construction. Ambush hitting isn't for me (I don't want any bonus in my offline games). Homerun catches are something that should only show up a few times a month so that isn't impactful to me. That being said, I do understand the sentiment that some have that there isn't a lot here to be excited about. I am probably leaning that way too and they will have to show me more than this to be a buyer of MLB25 at regular price even with my intrigue about infielder reaction times. Hopefully more exciting things announced in future information releases as it pertains to offline franchise play.

I am in the same boat. I do not use the style of hitting in the game where Ambush would matter to me so really i would not be able to comment whether or not its a good feature.


The infielder reaction time is big. Specially if you notice the difference. that will be key. you nailed it about super mega baseball. You can really tell in that game who has good range and who is pew pew
