Online Gameplay - The gameplay is horrendously bad. Strikeouts are rarer than home runs. Any ball you come close to with a zone pci is put in play. Tons of weakly hit outs on swings that should be swings and misses. You can miss a ball by 3 feet and foul it off. When you do hit a ball hard, it always seems to be right at a guy. Outfielders catch everything and infielders dive 20 feet for a ball and catch it, very unrealistically. Gameplay has gotten worse over the past 3 years.

This game still provides enjoyment. But a worse game that MLB 21
