How many of you are planning to wait before purchasing 20?

I ordered out of optimism, I expect big things and I understand why people are hesitant
-
I want to wait, but this is like the only video game that I’m actually good at, so I’m probably just gonna preorder so I can get the early access. I was hoping to win a tournament so I could get the game for free but that didn’t happen
-
I've been very critical in recent years about the direction this franchise is heading in, with MLBTS 18 being an absolute worst. I still pre ordered, because this is the only game that I always come back to eventually despite all the flaws. I just love baseball.
I usually take breaks throughout the year when I'm either fed up or when a big game comes out, but like I said.. I always come back. So might as well pre order.

Weird, I guess I'm in the minority. I'm going to enjoy my team full of 99's.
I know The Show 19 has a lot of issues, but I honestly don't think '20 will be that much of an improvementFor a lot of people, building a team is just as fun as having the 99's. I've enjoyed my god squad for months now, I'm looking forward to starting over.
-
I’m also looking forward to starting out with a new record. I really wanna take it seriously and try to have an elite record in 20

It’s fun just to slowly make additions and upgrades to your team, building it into an unstoppable monster that would make every all-star team in history cry just thinking about having to play them.

I believe that the beta will be a more accurate indicator of gameplay, sans bugs. The feedback, from what I read, was pretty positive.
I based my preorder on that information.

This for me too. I got my record to more than 150 games above .500, but with how many I've played, it's not that impressive. This is the first year I was able to hold my own against anyone outside of guys like Rebel, and even then I didn't get mercied every game against him. Looking forward to improving more in 20

Interesting, I find that NOT caring about my record makes me not only play better but also enjoy the game more. My record is still elite every year (close to .800), I just don't play enough games to compete for the top50 leaderboards because this game can be so frustrating. Especially if I would actually care about my record.
Either way, like you know as well, many losses on your record shouldn't have been losses in the first place. It's just inevitable for that to happen, the better player does not always win unfortunately. I doubt that will change. So as long as that's the case, I'm not gonna care too much about the record myself.

The first couple weeks when you still have golds in your lineup is the best

I just know that I can do better than I did this year. I had about a 3.5-1 win loss ratio I think. Most of my losses came when I was in a slump, so this year I’m not gonna play rs when I’m slumping. Gonna see how much I can improve my record that way. I think record is more valuable than rank. I wanna be good enough to consistently overcome the bs like the top players do

That's a fair goal, it will be tough though. Imo only Rebel and McGunski can do that consistently right now. But that also tells us it's not impossible, so go for it man!

I have seen his name mentioned but I've never seen him play. But yeah with a record like that he probably belongs on that list as well.

Me when I got Gossage week 3

I'm waiting until the stream that shows what path they'll give us for DD. If the XP Reward Path returns, I'll pre-order when I get my tax refund at the beginning of March.
If they go another route, I may wait.
Its also going to depend if I'll be in town for the Early release and what I think the server traffic will be like.

This is my main concern going forward and why I haven’t pre-ordered yet.
I appreciate all of you who accept this aspect of the game and still play and attempt to rise above it.
For myself, I don’t have enough time to play that many games, so when I have one of those inevitable ones, I just feel disappointed.
-
I preordered almost right away. this is my first year playing MLB. I have made quite a bit of progress in my ability plus I enjoy the team building aspect. I would like to see how I fair with a fresh start now. broke my tibia in late may playing ball so this game helped me get my fix
