MLB The Show 17 Patch 1.05 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[My993C2]

If we want SDS to tone down the number of HRs in a game perhaps we need to ask MLB to tone down the number of HRs in their games. Of course not every game is as crazy as these two games over the weekend. But baseball can be a crazy sport at times.

I'll play a couple games to check but the lack of information about increasing offense in the game - CPU vs CPU - doesn't instill confidence.

Chris Sale just shut me out in a 2-0 win on quick counts, threw 115 pitches. Absolutely no way that happens before the patch but it's exactly what should be happening. Great stuff. Played 3 games on QC's and all the starters pitched about what they should have.

Only remaining problem that I can see is that the bullpen logic is still a little shady, leaving a reliever who's getting some treatment in for too long, but other than that it's spot on now.

Bat sounds fixed is great as well, didn't think it'd be hard to fix as they had it right before. Much more satisfying now though

Sad state of affairs if a lot of people resort to that. Hence why I never play those modes.

SCEA really needs to tone down the Homeruns in the entire game as a whole and also with ratings.

There should be more of a discrepancy between the high and low rated Power hitters.

They should also consider re-evaluating ALL POWER Ratings. There should be more guys with Power in the 30's 20's and 10's. A player like Ichiro should not be rated (26 in Power vs Righties) and (31 Power vs Lefties.) He has hit 1 homerun each of the last 3 years. He should be more like a (6 Power vs Righties) and (11 Power vs Lefties).

The reason I say this is because a lot of fast players are overrated in Power in this game.

For instance:

In my season I was leading the Yankees in Homeruns with Brett Gardner who has power at 51 vs Rhp and 40 vs Lhp. I finally decided to put him down because it was getting a bit annoying seeing Brett Gardner lead my team in Homeruns.

I put Gardner down to 31 and 25 and he's been a lot calmer. Doesn't feel like he's on steroids anymore.

Dee Gordon is another overrated. There are tons more that are overrated.

I also noticed that in the ROAD TO THE SHOW mode you start of with Power at 35 vs both left and righties.

You mean to tell me that as soon as you start playing you are better at hitting homeruns than Ichiro?

Everyone should have to build up to being a power hitter.

Except there is a lot you can't unlock without playing those game modes.

But it is not nearly as bad as some are reporting. And I will say this again. The catcher pop time and overall response is far better than that automatic cheetah reflex of the past. It was an automatic out on foul pops, pops in front of the plate, and passed balls magically rebounding right back to catchers. I can deal with a little animation quirk like this than go back to that awfulness from previous versions of the game. At least now we have reasonable passed balls and wild pitches that should result in an extra base. And when it happens when the CPU is pitching? I don't cheese it. If it is a ball right in front of the catcher I stay on the base. If the CPU get's an extra base here and there.....I am living with it. Do I want it fixed? Absolutely. But what I fear is over compensating and going right back to how it acted on MLB 16 which was for the birds.

I am sorry but it is very true. Listen I love the game. Only game I play but this is a big issue. No matter if it's a RTTS game or Franchise game you can't throw a breaking ball in the dirt with a runner on 1st or 2nd or the CPU will take the base easily.

True but the only mode I play is online franchise and that is also a sad state of affairs. I love playing this game so much that I will put up with the bare bones online franchise mode... I just want it to be stable online which isn't much to ask for.
