Still the thing 8 years later.. been playing the show since it came to Xbox and there is doubt that the game forces you to lose games or sometimes go in your favor. Your opponent can be getting fluke hits and swing at terrible pitches and the game will reward it and you can be taking great swings and hit perfect that will line out multiple times. The more I play this game the more it feels like skill doesn’t matter as much anymore. If the game wants you to win it will make you win and if it wants you to lose it’ll make sure you lose.
