    This launch was by for the worst. I have seen a lot of game launches, and that's saying something after watching my sons with a game called World of Warcraft for years... That being said. Update to my 1st ever post from the other day on here along with Feedback. See below.

    UPDATE/Follow Up - I finally have all my accounts linked (Thanks to reddit, and not MLB. Let that sink in. I should have been able to come here and get a resolution.), but that still didn't make me open my Xbox copy of MLB 21. In fact, today I returned it. I am resending my previous post on waiting for your response via e-mail. I waited long enough. This is not the product I paid for, and if it wasn't such a hassle for returning the digital deluxe PS edition, and my sons begging me not to return both, I would return it too if it was just myself after the past 4-5 days. Luckily for you, one of my sons wants to still play this game very badly.

    I would rather not. At this point I'd rather go back to MLB 20 for my RTTS that I can't carry over to MLB 21. People paid you a lot of money expecting a better product than what you have produced so far. Which brings me to the feedback part.

    FEEDBACK

    1st, You didn't need to make RTTS need online. That was, and is a huge mistake. Why break one of your staple features? You have the tools to make the game great in EVERY WAY. You have the corner on the baseball market of video games. Let's be honest here. You could have made the diamond dynasty created player singular as I experienced the past few days and progress as it currently is without it being tied to RTTS. That would be fine, and make sense to what you had before. That was a good change in instead of progressing every position individually, but combining it with RTTS... I just don't get that. I think the other fans of you product has said more than enough negative feedback already on that.

    You can still fix that too. Well, that's another big reason I returned the Xbox copy I thankfully didn't open yet as I said before.

    RTTS should have still allowed to carry over previous MLB RTTS saves. Huge reason why I will be playing MLB 20 RTTS instead. I don't want to start over, and if my son wants to on this current installment fine. I already said I would keep the PS copy for my son. However, you are losing business. I wanted two copies to play with my kids online when we are apart. Not worth it at this time. Sorry if you don't like that, but you can do better on this product.

    Also, my son was playing yesterday, and today experiencing MULTIPLE games completed, and then not being counted. For online this should not happen. You have had MLB online gaming since what... MLB 17? So 4th generation of your product online features are now broken from before when it always worked give or take a few years. I admit I have every MLB game you ever made before, and never had a previous online game not count when tracked. NOT ONE. In the last 24 hours, 7 games have expected an error. 7. 7 versus 0 for all the previous installments. Let that sink in.

    I have always suggested your games in the past, but this year. If you can't fix RTTS to be offline without any need for online access, allow carry over saves like RTTS should, and if I keep seeing my son rage quit because of unexpected errors. I will simply uninstall MLB 21 from my PS console. I will also no longer be able to suggest your product(s) in the future until the product is fixed, and I am sure its the best product of what I am looking for in the future.

    Your user interface is not user friendly. My sons don't even realize there were timed missions, etc. They are the techy ones here. Not me. I navigate better I guess because I dealt with dreaded user interfaces likes Windows ME...LOL You need to make the banner page when you log into online (DD) always show the timed events/missions/quests/etc. to ensure everyone gets to take a crack at them if they want. The previous MLB interface was much easier according to my kids. FYI

    Multiple times the runner beats the throw at first. OUT Really??? Fix that.

    Why is there no instant reply in games? You missed another great feature.

    Speaking of features. Online leagues. Why can't you add a feature to have career stats tracked in them? Would be neat addition to that, and allowing it to use your created player.

    Created player once upgraded/perks added. Why can't the card level up like the other cards. WHY can't we still see the true stats on created players without having to practically start a game? Thought that would be fixed.

    Also, when you look at your player perks it resets some of the appearance options???

    Also, son says pitching sometimes doesn't suggest a location when the view changes? I see that's already been listed, but just adding so those people know you are not alone.

    I don't want to see you throwing stubs at, or some shiny card to make me happy, but in the spirit of lightening the mood (Yes this a freaking long read, but hang in there. Not like the servers will be up after school gets out anyway I fear...) If you are going to throw a card at me... I would love to see the 1992 Topps Stadium Club Cards make in the game. Heck, the entire set. Would be so cool to see an entire set in game (I can dream can't I?). If not how about just the entire 1992 Topps Stadium Club Atlanta Braves? Since you are getting more 90s players. Would be neat to see an entire Topps set, or just a team set to collect in moments. Just saying as a old timey wimey fan.

    As a baseball fan... A card collector... I can't stress this enough... Your game is turning into how Upper Deck ran itself as a business in baseball. As in if you don't do what's right your product's consumers/target market/etc., and continue to forget the fan base... You are gonna lose more than just 60 bucks today.

    If you do really try to buy back my love for this game, I would really love a Atlanta Dave Justice in game. You know a 90/91 Topps, or 95 when he finally got us Braves fan a World Series... If you give me Yankees Post Season Justice... I will be deeply bitter sweet about it... Sorry Yankee fans. I am sure you'll get your Derek Jeter, and many other great Yanks, soon enough long before I ever see a old man Justice in his prime on here... LOL

    I am really sorry to be a negative Natty in here, but on a positive note the game looks beautiful. Except the arm clipping in the at bats and the knee savers not looking right in replays/batters coming up. You really need to fix that. Distracts from the amazing visuals that makes your MLB games great.

    If anyone else agrees with this post. Just reply TAP TAP to let MLB know I am not alone on what I said above. Please, and thank you.

    TAP TAP.

    Thanks for the replies. Makes my nearly lifeless body feel alive. Truly does.

    I do remember that Sandler movie... Stealing my Tappity tap tap tapperoo line as I recall... Such a fun escape from reality flick. That golf swing is working better than MLB 21 right now in my opinion. Sorry, I had to point it out. The game still keeps doing everything we hope it won't here.

    Eyes bleeding? I am so old my hands went numb halfway through the very first post before this one. I am driven by pure old man saltiness. I figured you would all be a happy a boomer actually cared enough, and spoke up... LOL

    Also, I wake up every day wondering who, what, when, where, and why I have kids too. Crazy... (INSERT SARCASM HERE).

    Long long long time ago "Tap Tap" was something young boys on one of my baseball teams used as a teenager Carpe Diem if you will. Something like that. It a longer story that all the posts in MLB's theshow.com combined. I don't even have time for that. Hour glass is showing 1/4 of sand left falling through... LOL

    Tap Tap can mean whatever you want it to mean. I don't really care. Maybe that's just the boomer in me. lol

    I just wanna play ball really, and with my kids since I can't really do it the physical world. When you get to my age, with my beat up body... This is really the only way left to connect through the great game of baseball. Be nice if the new MLB would actually work, stay working, and what not.

    The company is only goin to listen though if we all speak up together and demand changes, or undoing wrong changes. My grandfather use to say if it isn't broke don't fix it, and if it is you better fix it before grandma gets back. Well, I can't fix this one, but the company can.

    Anyway, Tap Tap.
