i am quite unhappy with this game at this point.
i must have given up more triples & inside the park homers in just these past two days then i have since the 2005 installment combined.

the amount of errors, let alone the type of errors are just ridiculous. routine fly balls and ground balls are being botched. its a joke.

the umpires strike zones are a joke. the amount of blatant strikes that i have had called balls is incredible.

dont even get me started on the amount of balls the cpu hits into the gaps compared to the balls i hit directly at its fielders.

its just been frustrating. its not even fun.

i never mind losing, i just hate losing because of stupid game coding, or whatever the problem seems to be.

yes, i've tweaked the sliders. maybe it's just me.

You seem to be in the minority here, yeah.

Is anyone else noticing a lot if low scoring games? To this point I have only gotten to play about 6 games total, so it is a very small sample size. But in those 6 games neither me or my opponent have scored more than 4 runs in a game. The majority if which came via home run. And in all but 2 of those games the starters were able to go the distance without tiring out that badly. I'm hoping this can just be chalked up to my sample size and low scoring games with pitchers going the distance isn't the norm.

If it helps....I'm in a 5-5 tie right now with S.F.(Mets)

AI hits way too many convenient homers on difficult pitches

Sounds like we play the same and I was in the same boat as you as I also dislike the coding in this game .
I mean if you dont play alot you cant really notice it but when you do play alot it can be more frustrating than fun like you said even with all the subtle improvements this year .

Bat to ball physics are almost perfect and directional hitting is 100% better than timed BUT do yourself one favor Please try A&S sliders on default as I had my first fun game using them and though its not much different then default he does a great job making the game better and more fun so I hope this helps

Oh one more impressions I wish Post Season mode had the real lighting as the other modes as all games start in pitch dark black and it would be nice seeing dusk or sunset especially out west .

i just played a DD game vs the O's so it was my teams machado against the cpu O's machado.

I guess I was swinging at the wrong pitches. I, machado, hit singles off fastball pitches straight down the middle but the cpu machado went yard twice on sinkers in the dirt.
