MLB The Show 17 Patch 1.04 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[DarthRambo]

Hitting seems to have been tweaked for the worse. Seeing way more groundballs and weak hits now. I'm seeing more double plays than ever as well on both sides.

I was one hit by the White Sox in my Indians franchise smh...I know it can happen but I find ot difficult to believe my offense went to crap magically after being red hot.

And not just one game...now I'm in exibition game testing with human and cpu contact at 7 to see if I can get some offense generated. Not going back to my franchise until another patch most likely

So let's not sit here and make pretend it is our imagination that this happened and is a true bug and by product of this patch. The entire feel of hitting has been changed due to this audio error, bug or whatever you want to call it. But it clearly was changed and unintentionally. Every hit sounds and feels like the bat is cracked. You can't feel if it was weak contact, or if you grooved a ball off the sweet spot off the bat like you could with the game out of the box. For lack of a better term, it's hideous and a massive wart on an otherwise amazing game. Thank goodness they are fixing it. Because it is most certainly off. I have played this game non stop since release and my very first comment on my stream post patch was about this and it came right after the moment I made contact with the ball. I was like "uh oh Houston we have a problem" Anyway let's not minimize a serious flaw. Much like the QC's SP hook issue....this is something tangible and factual. It changed and not for the better and nor was it intended. It was a bug created from update 1.04. Sent from Palm Trees and Paradise using Operation Sports

And lets not disregard others opinions. Some folks are not bothered by the sound of the ball of the bat. Whether intentional or not, it really doesn't matter. It bothers you and others. But it also does not bother others. So how about we let everybody have their own opinions, instead of just trying to steam roll anybody with a different thought on a situation.

Was that a new or existing franchise? Carryover or this year.

I was using an existing franchise created this year.

Also, saw the catcher block a swing a miss strike two at a ball in the dirt with a runner on 1st, no advance. Catcher blocking has been fixed. We still want to see occasional WP so if you see one or two a game I'd say that's very normal. Sent from my SM-G920P using Operation Sports mobile app

I had two WPs in the first inning of my first post patch game, but I did have a play later where I was able to throw a guy out at second after blocking the ball in the first. So I don't know if it totally fixed, but it's definitely better.

It's just one game, but I hit 5 home runs in my first post patch game. That's more that I hit in any single game (49gms) pre patch. Again I'm not taking any stock in it since it was a day game at yankee stadium. I'm hoping I don't start to see what you guys see.

Mine is a carryover save btw, and those seemed to not be plagued by some of the bugs, like home run frequency and distance.

Well to be fair it's obviously an issue since they've admitted to it and said it would be addressed in the next patch.

That was a carryover franchise. And before the patch it was bugged.

With that being said on that same carryover file I am still getting the bugged divisional standings audio and visual OSD.

I am the Cardinals (fantasy draft file from 16) and Matty V references The N.L West and then the OSD shows N.L East with A.L league east teams.

I just wanted to say I haven't bought a baseball game in years and I've played 65 games in my franchise since I got the game and I don't want to stop playing. While I can't give opinion on the online play, for what I do just playing a franchise mode, I couldn't be happier.
