Never mind the fact that the Cubs coaching staff is almost entirely made up....really you couldn't get David Ross in the game? WtF? Small detail, but it's about as annoying as the lack of attention to other small details. I only bought this because Baez us on the cover, otherwise I would have waited a few years. I didn't expect much, but how hard is it to improve play-by-play commentary and actually have accurate rosters..... Heidi Watney is a complete waste. All she does is repeat the same sh*t over and over and you can't skip it....well you can if you manage to hit/hold X at the right moment..... Generally the gameplay is fine, and there is more consistency with pitching, though still not perfect. My biggest issue.....RTTS....you try to rob a hr and your player fing dives into the wall.....or slide catches are virtually impossible.....
At times playing outfield is bizarre, actually fielding in general, and it seems SDS can't seem to produce fluid moving character.....maybe they should hire someone from one of the developers who produce games like witcher, et al.... It seems like the players only move on a fixed circular track.... I lost count of how many times I ran over a bunt or slow roller (players somehow can't field it), and back tracked to run over it again..... Same in the outfield. Diving to catch simply doesn't work unless lucky.... Diving with top notch defenders to stop a ball rarely works....the ball always seems to bounce off their gloves. For lower tier players it makes sense, but not for the likes of Baez, Rizzo, Lindor, etc.
I love this game, but if they don't start spending more effort in making the gameplay better, updating franchise mode, and improving it in a way that people care about, this game will quickly become like EAs swill.
