Here’s the thing with this game, I can take an L. I don’t get mad or frustrated about losing. I’m not competitive to the point where every loss pierced my heart. I lose around 1000 games a year, while winning around 1200. After a while you don’t care about the losses and you can still take pleasure in losing a good hard fought game of baseball to a better opponent on the day.
If, for one minute, I thought my problems with the game were down to a lack of skill or ability, I’d work to improve and get better, like I did when I started out playing online. While I’m not going to sit here and pretend I’m good at this game, because I’m not - I swing too often, at too many bad pitches, I’m far too impatient to be elite - I’ve spent almost the entire year failing to escape all star difficulty. That’s absolutely ridiculous to me, seen as I rarely played below 700 in years past. I can’t do a single thing to prevent my opponents scoring 5-15 runs per game every single game. There’s nowhere you can reliably pitch that won’t result in a 400 foot moonshot on an early swing and as I outlined above, I’m not that good a hitter that I can reply with 6-16 runs a game, even on all star. This “outslug your opponent” being the key component to success has ruined me.I used to get by with solid pitching and defense. Knowing I could induce a groundball double play when I needed to, setting the right shifts, pitching to spots that I knew my opponent struggled to hit well, without leaning on that spot, or that pitch, as a crutch because they’d get wise to it, but keeping it in my back pocket as an out pitch or get-me-over strike. All that has evaporated like spilt water in the Arizona sun. Any pitch can randomly be launched out of the park, or bounced over the wall for a scripted ground rule double (on which both your nearest outfielders will get a simultaneous bad jump off the bat, so you can stop running. It’s a GRD instantly the dice roll is over and the ball is in play and we all know it is). The tactical aspect of the game is absent, certainly at all star level and I can’t slug my way to the top with a 8.00 ERA, but a .400 BA to get me through.
That’s why I’ll be quitting MLB the Show after this year and not looking back. This isn’t the game for me, I’m looking for something a little more tactical, mentally challenging and more like actual baseball than this home run derby that we’ve been presented with this year. -
game is unplayable again thx

This game trash, if it wasn't 90 percent rng and the better player actually won the games they should, sds wouldnt be able to acquire noobs to spend hundreds on their "not pay to win" dd mode, even though to compete you have to have mantle that by my math cost about 800 dollars still lol, sad state when you care about acquiring new players more than appeasing the ones that supported you for years. Skill gap doesnt exist here, its good/okay and pray

My favorite all time golf game is Tiger 12 on the Xbox 360 and PS3, without a doubt the best golf game in my opinion.... Augusta is just beautiful in that game, gameplay elements they nailed also, and a solid online play.... I’m watching videos of 2K golf and it looks like it has potential... Of course you gotta get the game to now for sure, but it’s definitely peaked my interest...

I wouldn’t attempt to persuade you to buy it. ‘19 was a better product in almost every way, you’d be better served sticking with last years game. I can’t believe they sold the game on the back of the Braves trinity of Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine and then made pitching like this. Thank F- we didn’t get Randy Johnson this year, I’d have been absolutely livid when he was forced to pitch to a 5.50 ERA. That one season when pitching was OP and everyone was batting .200, I actually made it to 896 in RS, which just bears out what I’m saying about SDS removing the ability to pitch and defend totally ruining the game for me.
I hope for SDS sakes that the spazzy amateurs they’re rewarding with these crappy non zone, early swing homers are going to faithfully buy the next five versions of the game, faithfully buy stubs every year and faithfully post positive comments about gameplay on social media. That’s what I did and if I liked the product, I’d have continued to do so as well. Now, I hate the product and am alienated by the awful gameplay. These transient consumers will be gone as soon as Madden, NHL or NBA release a new game, just like every year. My distaste and displeasure will remain, long after these “new players” SDS aren’t retaining have gone.
I’m still pissed about the terrible quality of ‘18 and that was three years ago. I returned for ‘19 because I’d really enjoyed ‘16 and ‘17 and I knew SDS could produce a decent game. ‘19 had a few issues, but overall was infinitely superior and SDS did win me back over. Three of the four years I’ve played were decent and ‘18 was an outlier in terms of terrible content and gameplay. So, I figured they were back on course again for ‘20 and purchased it. This should have been a fantastic game. The added nostalgia of taking a walk down memory lane with all the great cards of the last few years before moving to next gen, should have been the cherry on top. Instead we now have a game that rivals ‘18 for terrible gameplay. It doesn’t matter what cards they give you, 99 overall pitchers are as useful as a chocolate teapot and will give up as many home runs as the game decides they ought to, regardless of stats or input. On the batting side, squared up swings will result in line outs and lazy fly balls, whereas missing the ball with the PCI, or swinging out in front of a pitch, will arbitrarily launch the ball 450ft over the wall. Brilliant.

I’ve just recently turned the hitting and pitching feedback off because it simply doesn’t matter. I’m also going to try to start looking at online play like I look at the Moments. If you center the ball in Moments, sometimes it’s a moonshot. Other times, it’s a fly out. The game decides not you. This game is not geared to reward you every time you do something right. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won’t. Sometimes your opponent will get rewarded. Sometimes you will. Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.

In a video game they should reward you when you're doing things right I get that's not baseball but don't have a concept of hitting the ball with the core of the PCI if it's a random hit feedback just add timing I understand it's baseball as well but reward the players for the things we're doing right I get when I'm very late/jammed and somehow end up on base over the good/good 109mph line drive caught in LF I've been to games where I seen the first pitch leave the park cause it was hit good

THIS ! this is what I am saying. I know not every hard hit ball is going to be a no- doubter. But to not get rewarded in a video game on balls that were pretty much ALL in the dead middle to the zone and when I got 100mph exit velos on ALL of them.... And guy hits a 100 mph HR on a PCI rating of a 10.

I agree with you. But the game simply doesn’t play that way. It’s infuriating and I often feel helpless when I play. But if I’m going to keep playing, which I plan on, I’m going to have to accept the way it is. Because if I rage against the injustice, I’ll make myself crazy. The only way we can make a change is if players say that this is unacceptable, and refuse to spend anymore money on this game or the next until the most glaring issues are fixed.
