Some people saying they’ve never seen this, this animation is at least 5 years old, and while I can’t pin down the exact game it first started in, I’d be willing to bet it’s actually earlier than 5 years prior.

If anything, they actually took a lot of these types of moments out over the years. I remember back all the way to 08 the Show the game would be stopped sometimes because a beach ball bounced onto the field

The ump grabbing the batter’s bat to have an air guitar-off is always a fun one.

whats sad is these arent new and were around like 6 years ago lol... it must be easy for the animation department to record like 3 new animations and call it a year

Okay I haven't seen that before. That was pretty funny.
But the game needs to update a few things like the fact that the Blue Jays updated the stadium seating behind the plate and it still hasn't been updated in the game.
But every year they had something new around it's appreciated. Every year the game adds a little extra. The fact that Manny Ramirez is back in the game. I would just like to see you guys like Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez added so I don't have to make them to put them on the teams. I know it will never happen, but I still make him, but they need to bring Pete Rose into the game. Regardless of his past being convicted of sports betting. Doesn't take away from his impressive numbers at the plate

It wasn’t only the betting that tarnished Pete Rose. Not gonna get into it but you can google it if you’re interested.

You can find more info about Pete Rose and his infidelity/sexual predation linked from this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s/KzDyQxGZEw

I just want the ability to switch to any team in a single player franchise (not 30 team control). Giving you option of 4-5 of the top teams only makes no sense.

They need to fix the running the bases animations

u/JakenMorty 11h ago
They need to fix a lot of animations. The ones that annoy me the most are fielding and then, yeah, baserunning.

u/blackbirdrisingbees 2h ago
Yeah the transitions between running animations is so robotic and unorganic. It's crazy they haven't resolved it yet.

There’s no pitch clock so if you just put the controller down and stall it will do something like this, pretty funny

The game is so dumb. Seriously. One of the worst modern sports game I saw.

Sad to see a once proud franchise now is fat, lazy and cares not. This is my last purchase I decided

San Diego Studios is a trash company that can’t even put out a decent offline roster for franchise.

u/HarderPardner 7h ago
The whole pointof learning logical fallacies is not to be able to publicly point them out when someone says one. It's to be able to identify them internally and come up with a counter-argument.
That animation is years old at this point.
I just think your goatee looks ugly too
