They made it to the point where it's impossible to get a hit.. I hate how these sports games cater to e sports people
Isn't there an easy mode? Or do you only play online?

The easy mode is still hard

Usually I play the diamond dynasty challenges which are set to veteran

I'm wrong I realized you can shit off the zone hitting and switch it to regular just timing n its more bearable like last year's

Still tho why is every fielder a 15x golden glove with 99 speed n a cannon arm

Sliding in to suggest you give the Charisma Program Showdown a try if you haven’t yet. I’m not a big fan of showdowns, I feel like it’s just too stressful to complete 5 moments and then get sent back to the beginning, so I usually only do them if it’s required for a program. I completed the WBC showdown after like 10-15 tries, but today I was able to get through the Charisma Showdown on my first try. Throughout the showdown you consistently get 97+ players to upgrade your squad, and any contact you make is going to be good. I think I got down to 3 outs or so remaining just once.

I used that Dee Gordon card for a while in the early game, he made really solid contact a lot.

I always, always skip the second to last challenge before the Showdown boss--it's the difference between usually being down 15-10 or 15-12, so I don't sweat it too much.

I feel like, unfortunately, there's going to be a big gap in offline content between now and the next season program in 2 weeks. We might get....1 new conquest map? I like doing Topps Now and Monthly Awards, but I wish I had a new map to do them on instead of just doing 9-inning games against the CPU.

Not buying the game this year. Pretty fed up with EA. Looking forward to another company getting the NFL license.

Looking forward to NBA 2k24 this weekend. I haven't played 2k23 in a few months and this one has seemed to streamline some of the character/myteam progression issues from past years.

MLB The Show (Nintendo Switch)

If I were to get the 2023 version of this game, would there be an update for current actual real life rosters/players?

You’ll be able to download user-made rosters, so you’ll want to search for “latest 2024 roster” or something in the vault.

Sweet. Thanks. I will expect to see Ryan Bliss on there.

Anyway if this is the case why would anyone buy 24 if they already have 23 or 22? What has changed?

Are you going to play franchise? If so, nothing has changed in the past few years.

I’ve seen an uncomfortable number of people on social media who are just now realizing they can’t play NCAA on consoles that are two generations old.

:lol: :lol:

I'm happy they developed this only for the current gen consoles. Seems like the other approach has been holding the other sports franchises back quite a bit.
