I DISLIKE IT COMPLETELY. The only thing I love is how they fixed the fielding camera. The other thing....well let’s just start with my main issues. ONE- The ball moves too fast or slow while batting. I couldn’t even get a good at bat anymore. I’m always too early or late on swing timing. Now because of how the revamped the way the ball speeds for both fast ball and offspeed, I can’t get the timing down. The sinker and sliders didn’t take long to wait on. It took the same time for the pitch to arrive at the plate, just like the fastball. The other offspeed pitches such as Curves and Changeups are too slow and it messes up timing for the fastballs. If you play this, you’d know what I mean.
My SECOND problem is the umpires. I know that in real life, they can be off their calls once in awhile but COME ON!! I pitched four pitches that hit the corner of the strike zone, for a strike but he called them all balls. I know that they can be a pitchers umpire or a hitters umpire but to call them all balls on the corner is just retarded. He did that like five times in a row while I was pitching. In real life, if they constantly did that, they’dmake the pitchers want to injure them.
The THIRD problem is the fielding, I know they did changes to the cameras but the main issue is the players. I know that it depends on what type of player he is and how good is he. A couple of times, maybe more, the players who I know are good at fielding, make errors that I know that they don’t make throwing errors often. But a lot the problems are fielding in general. In my opinion, the players made too many errors than ever before. And I know that they wouldn’t constantly do that in real life.
Now because of this issue, I destroyed my Tv and broke the game case and bending the disk slightly. I returned the game today and they offered me only $30 bucks witch is ok.
I remember when it was enjoyable and not frustrating to bat in the game but it’s NOT FAIR. Some gamers would get use to it easily but not for others. I had the game set to Experienced Because it’s the setting I use throughout the years. I had to switch to beginner because the pitches moved to fast. You’d know what I mean if played it before on beginner or experienced. There’s huge difference. Even playing it on beginner was hard.
If you want to play it, I suggest that you rent it at redbox or something to get a feel for it before you buy.
