I've played The Show for almost a decade now and have gotten to see how the games evolved. I loved last years version and felt it was the best SDS had put out in the last 5 years. So obviously I was looking forward to this year. I'm very surprised sbout how unpolished this year's version feels after how much I enjoyed last year.

Hitting seems to have regressed. It's like the timing and contact windows are miscalibrated. Tons of fluke hits and foul tips. Terrible flail animations on "good" timed pitches with good pci placement.

Pitching is erratic. I thought the switch to L<>R pinpoint would be awesome, but inputs on pinpoint are erratic when registering (online at least). Good pitching is seldom rewarded as even perfect inputs can have suboptimal results. At bats are prolonged due to constant foul tips. It's not fun pitching right now

Regarding content it simultaneously feels like their is abundance of things to do, but not really anything you'd want to do. The grind is especially stale this year. I don't even care about rewards. I think I'm just over the same grind modes, like conquest and showdown, after 4 years of them

Lot more but the ramble is long. After how much I enjoyed last years version its disappointing to see the product this year. I trust SDS over the long haul. They might wanna bring back the tech test next year. My general feelings on this years game are that it's just "off".

@BadaBing_0 I expect they did this (and gave out 8000xp rewards on the Classics program) because they saw that 90% of their user base wasn't going to get to any of the Boss cards by season's end, and they're making hard adjustments to their xp rationing.

Has anyone gotten Trouts cleats? Not a single person I know who plays has gotten Trouts cleats or the diamond Jordan 1

I ended up creating him from one of the made up players on the roster and used last year’s ratings. He just doesn’t have the right features to look like him.

@Don-Carinito its a draft league

It's probably pretty frustrating but that's just how markets work. They are controlled by the users, which honestly it's a good thing the playerbase can manipulate the market rather than the devs. The devs have ZERO clue how to manage and clean up their game. The fact the player base controls the market is kind of amazing. I don't like how some cards get abused and at times outrageously priced but it doesn't stay that way for long.
Now, I'm a player that doesn't F with the market much unless I want a specific card. The market abuse will NEVER be a priority as long as the game stays riddled with bugs, glitches, and horrendous game development. I wish I could complain about the market issues, that would mean the game works enough for me to focus on the market issues. Sadly, the market issues are nothing compared to gameplay issues.

Has now happened about half a dozen times in maybe twice that many playthroughs; moments ago, I passed the AS Break gateway, and received TA rewards for only Chapter 2 for the NL Central. Got the message for it and everything, but nothing for Chapter 1. I have not completed the corresponding chapter, either.

A couple of times, those rewards have showed up a few hours later, but it's been a week for a few, so I'm guessing they aren't going to come sliding in any time soon.

I've contacted support to see what happens, and didn't see this topic mentioned so wanted to know if anyone else was having this issue?

Doesn't even matter which chapter, some have "withheld" chapter 1, some chapter 2. Most of them have happened at the AS Break, maybe a couple at the end of the season, don't think it's happened during the playoffs or later.

Elevation is bugged for created stadiums. I made one w/ 5279 elevation and noticed the ball wasnt jumping off the bat like in previous years. Couldnt hit a homer past 490 ft in homerun derby. Copied the same stadium w/ 1000 elevation and the balls were traveling just as far. Went to coors and was hitting 540ft homers.

Half the time our opponents close app to quit we still get the “win” but we lose points while the guys on the other team who didn’t quit gain points. Why is this mode so jacked up?

From what I've seen, you either get lucky with an upload or not and have to retry constantly, and thats not even a guarantee it will load properly without freezing or just not changing anything on your default character at all once you get it in game, seems like the feature is just ridiculously hit or miss and SDS dont care about fixing it.
Hope you get it to upload.

Would it be possible to get "eligible_cards" added to the Captains API? Maybe it's just an array of all of the cards that are eligible for that captain?

Generally, we're able to use the requirements and parse them down on our own. However, some of the items that includes "real world stats" are a bit trickier.

Or maybe this is already available somewhere and I just missed it.

Big thanks as always!
