My frustration
-
First off, I just signed up to post here and this will be my first time ever posting on the show forums in last 6 years playing MLB The Show. Most likely I will prob not reply back, just my rant, maybe will be seen/heard.
I just need to voice my take on The Show 21 this year.. so here goes.
I mainly play RTTS and Franchise. Once in a while I will play an online game just for fun. But this post is mainly geared about RTTS gameplay. I can imagine the frustration most are having with DD with the servers crashing. But what do you expect with basically doubling users and they prob never upgraded their servers. And with Franchise, it just doesn't have the same feel as it used to, since I mainly manage/sim. Not feeling it at all, which saddens me. Also trade logic somehow got worse.. but on to RTTS.
Why. Oh. Why did you tie RTTS with DD. Only reason I can see is to try to get some more players hooked into DD for some more micro-transactions. Personally, I would never even think about spending money on stubb's. For what? To show that I am richer than someone else playing online? Especially now, that nothing can be carried over to next seasons version? ...
Gameplay, here are my main gripes that is killing experience for me. So bad I wish I could refund this game.
-
can not have multiple players. I want to be able to have new players that start from scratch. Not have fully capped players in AA, nor all look the same. Such idiocracy here.
-
check swings is beyond absurd. Every one of them is a strike?
-
pop up on perfects. Every fly ball gapper superman'd caught. When I dive to get a grounder, I am always just an inch short.
-- camera view is wacky this year when fielding
Tried them all, and all are similar and odd.-
trades and manager decisions somehow got worse than ever this year
-
this two way player is nice, but really after the 30th time asking me, they would know I don't want to be one. Also I don't want to be one because when you do, and switch loadouts, all your gear goes missing (huge bug), stats don't count, etc
,- loadouts. Dumb
-
bugs everywhere. Fielding teammates just freeze. Can't step on base at times. Glitches and so.
-
my final gripe. I am so sick of the same commentary. It got old 2 years ago. Most of the time their comments are actually way off. ie: saying I am leading off yet theirs man on first already. Or I bat third, but they say this pitcher has to deal with 4 5 6. Yes it's minor stuff, but it's not like they had to implement all new commentary this year, last year. Hrmm..
If I had one wish for a fix/change. Untie RTTS with DD so can get rid of ballplayer. Can have multiple ball players. The main reason why we can only have one ballplayer is because of the DD tie in nonsense.. Many don't want anything to do with DD. Was it so hard to just release 2 play styles for RTTS in game?
When I finish this players career, there will be no point of me playing this game again since I could never start brand new because of this dumb dd RTTS [censored] you pulled.
Don't get me started on how I need to go into player equipment to select 2 batting gloves every time I do anything in ballplayer menu. Lol

I agree 100%. They completely ruined RTTS. I used to enjoy the variety of switching to a completely different character when I started feeling burned out or bored. Now you are stuck with one option... even if you delete the previous character save files and try to start from scratch you are stuck with the same pitch options. I HATE the load out stuff, and I am beyond frustrated with equipment constantly changing when I am not watching... it seems like it keeps defaulting to some previous setting no matter how often I try to change.
I am also frustrated they didn’t make it clear you were going to be stuck with your initial choices all year. If I had known that I would have made very different choices up front.

Please @Collin_SDS_PSN & @Victor_SDS_PSN, it would be really appreciated if you could send the link to this thread to RTTS designer/engineer team.
Thanks,

Can you amateurs stop complaining about the check swings being off, its 10 times better than last year. Today I played a game on Legend and pitch speeds maxed and I was able to check my swing 3 times, so get your noob $i^^ together and practice. Last year almost everything was a check swing and I knew I blatantly broke plane..are you upset cause you can't cheat this year?. As for popups and perfect whatever getting caught, adjust your sliders!! its there for a reason...fielder speeds should be at like 3 not at the default 5 and adjust fielder reaction to a more realistic setting. The game is at its best state ever, you casuals just have to practice and get gut!!. There is a setting for "Casuals" for a reason, use it...don't yap and complain over and over and try to make this game less of a simulation. I don't want in 5 years for this game to morph into exclusively a DD or casual baseball game, I want it to be more and more a simulation as the years go by.

I really don't care about the Pop-up and Check Swing thing... We're talking about a sport that if you fail 2 times out of 3 (hitting for 333) you're going to the Hall of Fame. A good game of baseball should be though and frustrating, that's how it is in real life... I think the gameplay was and is still really good!!
Regarding RTTS tied to DD, the Loadouts and the poor/broken design, the original post is spot on! That's what SDS should fix.

Now if only DD casual noobs understood this we wouldn't have so many annoying posts complaining because they aren't hitting homeruns every time they get perfect/perfect or "oh my PCI was perfect but I got a grounder gobble gobble hot pockets gobble XP gobble Servers gobble"
