Fair points, especially mentioning the predetermined result of a batted ball. The crowd cheers or groans as soon as the ball is hit to let the user know if it’s going to be a hit or not. Helps us on the base paths, but something that gets pretty annoying.

The increase in foul ball and difficulty striking out especially the CPU is a good/realistic thing! There were too few foul balls (statistically) in 23, and the CPU struck out way too easily.

True, in years past it seemed like no matter how crappy my pitcher was and how high I set the difficulty, I could always do fastball up and in, slider away, fastball up and in for the strikeout. Not as easy this year, which is great.

I'm floored by how bad some of the graphics are this year. The Show has always looked great, but some of the visuals look like they run on a Wii.

Playing as a Giants franchise, McCovey Cove in San Francisco is atrocious. Isn't there off-the-shelf water assets the team can use to simulate water? It looks worse than the 2014 game, ten years later.

Yea, I notice that about the DD grind. I couldn't figure out how to get those cards that they keep showing when doing the Drop Event. Until I went to purchase the Jackie Robinson Pack then I figured it out!...Pretty scummy of SDS to do that when they have in in the past did not do this...Oh well..The game is still fun to play with other modes, that's all I have to say.

Fielder urgency is a real problem. I've had many situation where the player simply will not throw the ball. Or worse I've preloaded a throw in anticipation of making the throw and the fielder does nothing. I don't remember past Show's ever having this issue.

For the love of Jay Hova
Why is batting practice not in Franchise?

Mind boggles me

The way this series ignores simple quailty of life fixes ish needs a federal investigation
