Is it just me or is this year's game substantially easier than previous years game?

Ive played on HoF difficulty for the past few years and this year's game seems substantially easier. Maybe it's because the animations have been fixed so the cheap runs are no longer there, but I don't think that's it. The CPU just seems to not mash pitching as much as they did in previous games. And yes, I know sliders rectify this, it's just an observation.

Given my run with it, it's just you.

(I suck at this game fwiw!)

I'm thinking it's your sample size.

Or you could do the unthinkable.......





....And raise the difficulty

Its harder to me. I haven't swore at my tv this much since...........well I guess last year around this time.

Yeah it's easier for me as well, i think the hitting is much easier now.

I like it better that way anyways, i can actually turn on an inside pitch now and im not always late on high pitches. I think whatever changes made were for the better.

Finding it a little more difficult at present but thats because im out of practice.

It will come...

Pitching is a lot easier due to Precision Input. I'm not a fan of it, honestly. I'm not sure about hitting, i'm using directional but it seems to be broken and for some reason 90% of your hard contact hits are in the OF's hands.

The pitching is about the same to me, but hitting is way easier this year. I am smashing the ball on All-Star and I usually only played on veteran
