I straight up want a refund at this point. What a huge disappointment this game has become.

Someone in the Q and A thread suggested disconnecting your internet if you want to play this game while they work out the kinks.

I interrupt the complaining (justifiably so in reference to loading in online stuff) to gush about how I love that new IK engine. One of my RTTS pitchers has a delivery that has him taking a big step over to the side and whether I get a punch out, pop fly, or get hammered into the 3rd deck, the animations that play out are so damn smooth. I just love the way my player bounces when he gets a K.

I also love how players emote more than just an idle golf fist pump when they get a big hit. Everything is so much smoother and better.

But it does get offset by some of the same things I've seen for the last several years like the same create a player faces and hair styles and body types. Sure, some of the hairstyles have been updated and look better than ever, but when I see the Red Sox and see Hanley Ramierz's awesome hair or Johnny Cueto's hairstyle, I'm like "Why can't the braids look like actual braids and not like 10 really big caterpillars are sitting on my player's head?

[Beatles]

Maybe the devs love caterpillars. Ever consider that?

It's obvious where they spent all their time and good work it is.

The glaring issues that were present in previous versions just continue to tear at the integrity of the game.

They're small issues but here they are - I play in season mode controlling several teams against the computer.

1. Pitch counts - still way off. A starter may have thrown 105 picthes but at the end of the game when you review the stats of the game their pitch count jumps up to the 140's - it's almost like they are taking the total pitches for the game and lumping the to the starter.

2. Computer Manager - What a knucklehead. Brings in left handed pitchers to face right handers - pinch hits left handed hitters against left handed pitchers and vice versa. They need a slider that says 'Manager Stupidity' and the lower you set it the more bonehead moves he makes.

3. Replay - They needed to add a feature that allows the Manager to argue strikes.

4. I'm done bitchin.

I have played well over 50 games of this year's installment and all I can say is that it gets better and better with each new game I play.

Well done SCEA.....well done...
