Are check swings broken?

I have only played a game and a half so far but something seems wrong with check swings. They always say I go around yet when viewing the replay I dont even come close to going around. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

This game seems to have it as a dice roll, independent of what is visually on screen. Two years ago I decided to finally turn off appeals. I had enough of them haha.

You'll feel so much better when you turn them off!

^^^ Double LIKE . This is an issue I have experienced for years.

I'm new to the Show, but the recent trend in the MLB is that anything close is called a strike. Even heard Ron Darling mention it during a spring training telecast, and I can't disagree. Maybe it's the game trying to be true to life?

I actually thought it was better done this year. I actually was able to check a pitch after I had hit the power button, and Im not sure that ever happen in the past when I used power button. I am a analog guy, so Im sure that makes it easier than people who use buttons to hit, or I would think it would anyway.

They aren't broken.

I noticed it's slightly more dangerous to check-swing than it used to be. I'm sure we'll get used to the new feel of it after a number of games.

I don't have problems either with check swings. I feel that the calls so far are fair. I also don't mind the occasionaly umpire fault judge of a check swing. Umpires are part of the game. They make mistakes too. That's how I see it.
