That is true. I would've been in seventh heaven had they updated Matty V, added John Smoltz, and dropped the 3 man booth altogether.

I agree with the DD backing out issue . It is my biggest gripe with DD , having people back out should result in a loss for them , I don't necessarily need a W, but that person deserves a loss for backing out.

Best -

1) Improved Ball Physics

2) Humanity AI (improved infield defense, specifically)

3) Player Quirks (if done right)

Worst-

1) Franchise mode clearly antithetical. Focus on buzzwords like "quicker" and "easier" set off alarms.

2) Diamond Dynasty further cementing itself as the focus of SCEA

3) Player Quirks (if done wrong)

Retro mode gotta be great i spend 20 bucs on the R.B.I garbage game this new feature its like we own 2 games in one,will be more easer to many peoples out there to play the game cause this game is not for everyone to much reality on it you need to know how 2 pitch on online mode even on the season you need to know how to pitch Legend mode its not a joke 😂😂😂🤣🤣 they just need to make the stubbs stuff little more accessible,other thin i hope they fix are the issues wiith the foul balls near the benches they use to vacum the ball for an out,other thin the half check swings hit and hommers 😂😂🤣🤣 i hit a few,another good add will be if they could make a louder first base coach yelling for the pitcher pick off attemp,and last we ask for the player collision gotta be great see the outfield on base runners colissions aswell

Best

1) Ball Physics
2) Ball Physics
3) Ball Physics

Worst

1) Retro Mode, waste of time and space that could have been used for other things.
2) Franchise Mode being dumbed down, with veteran players seemingly being taken for granted with very limited change in core mechanics.
3) Increase in Online only stuff in DD.

Best

1) Ball physics any addition of improved ball physics is great for any sports game
2) MLB network presentation
3) commentary

Worst
1) retro mode- could of put there focus on other modes more
2) franchise mode - not much was added but hopefully things were improved
3) MLB the show seems to be going towards DD more. Even in there Offline franchise stream they seem more excited to show DD Legends then the actual franchise stream.

Best

1) Ball Physics
2) Humanity AI/Player Quirks
3) Retro Mode - I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but I'm really looking forward to playing in a "league" with my buddies like we did back in yesteryear.


Worst

1) Things I was hoping were added to franchise mode weren't added this year
2) Having to wait until the end of March to play
3) The Cubs are probably going to crush me........again.
