Cmon guys, the biggest problem is gameplay. We need that fixed. I almost never hate on you guys but I’ve payed for this game. I would like to see a game play patch so I know I'm getting my money's worth

What the hell is a "scorebug OSD"?
SDS go home, you're drunk.
Scorebug is the scoreboard and OSD is on-screen display, so "scorebug OSD"= on-screen display scoreboard
I'm pretty sure a scoreboard is still a scoreboard. Scorebug is definitely gotta be a new slang term or something. Maybe it's a new dance from Fortnite?
-
I wish they'd fix the Good/Okay OSD which seemingly shows up regardless of how well my PCI is placed. Not sure how much more dead center I can get it to get at least "Good" contact.
-
"I think they've given up this year"..."too far gone"..."looking to next year already"......do you guys realize you regurgitate the same thing every year?
"Phoning it in"...that's another good one
-
So were just not going to touch on the fact that fielding and pitching is still like Russian roulette? Ok thanks for confirming your just phoning it in now SDS. That's face it this is a garbage fire this year.
-
I think “Scorebug” is when the stadium scoreboard and in game menu scoreboard are showing different scores on them. I’ve had a few games where I was called “out” at the plate but the commentary and stadium scoreboard still gave me credit for the run but the game considered me out and didn’t count the run. Here are a few examples from my online games. Add the runs in each inning up and you’ll see what I mean...
-
Color commentary corrections.... does that mean I no longer hear them say, “He’s certainly no Chipper Jones” when Chipper’s actually up to bat? Lol

Doesn’t matter... I’ve already gave up on this years game
The little details in life..Bet thats normal to try something , get frustrated and give up. In life you will take a thousand Ls for every W. Somethings you might be great at. A little adversity breeds intensity my man. A little life gem
-
This is underwhelming. I was expecting a gameplay patch, they know the game is in a bad place right now but they must be focusing on next years game already

A score bug (or, in an expanded form, a score box or score bar) is a digital on-screen graphic which is displayed at either the top or lower third bottom of the television screen during a broadcast of a sporting event in order to display the current score and other statistics.
(from Wikipedia, this is a commonly used term, not something sds made up)

@Collin_SDS In order to head off the next hundred angry posts from customers, can we get confirmation whether gameplay (not visual) updates are done for the year? If the team is already 100% moved on to 21' it would be good to know. Otherwise there will be a lot of needless speculation and arguing here that benefits no one.

This is a great question. Too bad they never answer legitimate questions. They usually appear when people swear.

To be fair, managing user expectations is a minefield. People try to read things into what you say, and in the gaming context often standard business decisions that most companies would make are perceived as crimes against humanity. There's a lot more emotion involved than you have for an email client or something. Firestorms start over little things, and bigger issues can spin out of control and infect social media. No one wants to see their name quoted in a negative viral post about the game. No one wants to be associated with a decrease in stub sales because they said a little too much in a forum post that turned away users. Constraining dev updates to one way communication (like the dev stream) avoids some of this problem. If I was at SDS I would not look forward to facing this forum with news they don't want to hear.

Don’t they only make gameplay adjustments every other patch??

At the end of the day it’s still a business. Maybe what the decent players want (an input based game with no RNG) is not the bes for the business.

My initial feedback is that the timing windows for the homerun OSD seem to be pretty good.
With this update, I feel I am being properly rewarded for hitting the x button and the banner goes away.
Great job guys!

So then what was the purpose to lcomment? you don't think they really care about losing you do they? Did it feel good to get that out ?
-
They have now addressed the fact that they can't get timing feedback correct with an "Out in front" feedback! Haha. Wow. They must have gotten that gem from Trump.

@ComebackLogic said in Game Update 1.12 Thread:
No adjustments to gameplay? The mind literally boggles. With a multitude of gameplay issues to choose from when deciding what to focus on primarily with 1.12, you went with.......... None of them. This will probably be my last MLB The Show game in all honesty. It’s the only game I’ve ever come across in over three decades of gaming where you can play for thousands of hours over five years, buy every expensive accessory available to assist your efforts and yet get worse at the game. There’s no sense of improvement or progressing your skills because the game is dictated by inconsistency to the point of feeling like a series of random occurrences.
This game is entirely focused around hitting home runs and there’s a total lack of respect for pitching and defense as it stands. There’s one player in the top 20 for this season who has an ERA below 5 and he’s sitting at 4.87. The current number one player this season in RS has an ERA of 7.01. Your game is terrible. Exactly what you think is fun about playing ninety minute games at Shippet where both teams combine for thirty or more runs, I’m unsure, but this is a terrible representation of the sport of baseball. This is some garbage arcade slugfest with zero emphasis on anything except overpowered hitting.Man I’d love to say you’re wrong but I agree....every game is at that f-in shippet and it’s just whoever can go yard. You are right pitching is garbage, edge of the zone strikes never called and perfect pitching feedback means little. It becomes so repetitive that even as a baseball diehard and video game lover I can’t even hardly enjoy it. Just don’t get it........maybe this is as good as it gets. Just really bummed out is where I’m at.
