Not everyone is an idiot, I knew exactly what this burner account was the second it showed up. You’re the dude that went full bozo and begged the Devs to ban him after you dropped a bunch of N bombs lmao.
But for real what happened to the “Hey guys newbie here any tips for a straight newbie? I’m not the guy that dropped a bunch of N bombs yesterday just some newbie with a MLB the Show Name”?
Drop that knowledge though
And you are quite the detective. How do you manage all the investigative work and still play the game?
Except you're not really, cause I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
And, no, not everyone is an idiot..some are just boneheads.
Lol investigate what? That your 26 day old MLB the show burner account with 2 career games played went from the most excited newbie ever who’s most liked post is about how thrilling conquest is to a guy that’s now back to calling out shills and fake account like he’s been here from 4 years and knows everything about the game?
This knowledge must be from those other games you play that have forums where that stuff happens right? Another genius comment, some people actually do READ the words on here instead of just looking at them.

Great read tbh. The full evolution of the fake burner in less than a month

"I think the game works the way the developers intended. Gather terabytes worth of real life MLB animation. Attempt to wrap it around controller input in order to offer up a facsimile of real life MLB.
Problem is, the emphasis is on the animation..not the continuity of controller invoking the proper animation. I'm sure they would pull it off if they could..but they can't.
Which is fine, but where they cross the line is trying to market this false notion that the game is representative of real-life competition.
RS wins/losses are completely and totally at the mercy of the smoke-and-mirror resulting animation the game displays on your monitor.
Practice, strategy, cards are irrelevant. And that is a big bummer. But it's fun to watch the animation when it reflects positively for your team." Well said , one need only look at the automatic ground balls into a double play to see this theory made manifest. The game is bloated with pre loaded canned or locked animations which oft times determines outcomes to sequences during the game. Yours is an honest and accurate assessment.

But if I had cat feces in my taco I wouldn't sit there and eat it complaining after every bite about there being cat [censored] in my taco. Id go eat something else.
Yep..and you would expect Taco Bell to give you a refund. And, they likely would, because that would be so-so much cheaper than the lawsuit you could throw at them for deceptive practice, fraud, and, basically, selling you some bad $hit..of the feline variety.
So, what you do to get some satisfaction is vent-VEnt- and VENT even more. It's more healthy than trying to hold it in.
Plus, maybe, SDS will have the integrity and social conscience to address some of our gripes. But they can't address them if they don't know about them. Well, I'm sure they know about them, but if the customers ain't complaining..they don't care.
I just want the [censored] to work man lol. I’m sure the devs know and are trying but I’m just at a loss..can’t get a refund cause it’s digital.. legit the first game I’ve bought since madden 20 came out.(aug 19’)…. Didn’t buy madden 21 and wasn’t planning on getting 22…. This was supposed to be the game I played after work for the next year at least and I’m at wits end after 2 days 🥲

I take no issue with what you're saying though I think you're expecting more than this development team can give. However, I do think that the statement that cards are irrelevant is 100% false. If you really think they are then I would say you should build a team of commons and bronzes and go into ranked season, play 10 to 15 games and see how you do. Then turn around and use a team of all high level diamonds and do the same 10 to 15 games and see. I'm pretty sure you will do a hell of a lot better with diamonds than commons and bronzes.
I'm not contesting there is a difference, most of the time, between diamonds and bronze. Huge differentials there..and no doubt the gap will be somewhat noticeable.
I believe, though, the game is designed for certain players in your lineup to be successful and certain to not. And, I don't believe it puts too much emphasis on whether a 95 diamond with 115/100 against lefties is going to hit for you any better than the 87 Diamond 80/85 against lefties.
I'm sure if someone took the time to track it you could create some surprising stats. And, underscore the fact card ratings aren't as important as they are cracked up to be.
Play a game of RS sometime with all silvers..see how you do. No diamonds..just silvers. You'll likely have about the same success if you played with an all diamond team. At least that's been my experience.
Let's just say there is a point of diminishing return and the game is coded to lift a lower card-rated team.
-
It is tracked with online stats. And I agree. Swing/stance overweighs ratings. Play with who you’re good with regardless of the overall rating

I'll even make it simpler and, possibly, more relevant to the pricing model. Let's say you grab a Cheesy Gordita Crunch from Taco Bell.

Yep..and you would expect Taco Bell to give you a refund. And, they likely would, because that would be so-so much cheaper than the lawsuit you could throw at them for deceptive practice, fraud, and, basically, selling you some bad $hit..of the feline variety.
So, what you do to get some satisfaction is vent-VEnt- and VENT even more. It's more healthy than trying to hold it in.
Plus, maybe, SDS will have the integrity and social conscience to address some of our gripes. But they can't address them if they don't know about them. Well, I'm sure they know about them, but if the customers ain't complaining..they don't care.
So what your comparing is literally apples to oranges. The complaints in this game that I have seen are all complaints that are fickle at best and most are are just rage post because someone took advantage of them. Most complaints in this game can be overcome by simple adjustments in your own game such as the contact swing. If it’s such an issue than logic would say use the contact swing instead of complaining to nerf it. Or the complaint about pitch speeds in online play. So if it’s an issue than go to custom practice and practice hitting on legend with sliders on pitch speeds maxed out. Or my favorite RNG. Well no one has ever produced any empirical evidence that RNG has ever influenced the outcome of any game. These anecdotal stories of guys striking out 15-20 times in a game and then magically hitting a walkoff in the 9th are not plausible arguments. The logical explanation is how was the opponent even given the chance to walk you off. Put your opponent away and you don’t have to worry about the home run from the heavens taking you out. I’m sure there are other complaints and I could most likely toss a response to those issues at you. So if the game isn’t fun because you perceive it to be broken than telling someone to not play is a perfectly adequate response. Why you ask? BECAUSE ITS A VIDEO GAME. It’s intended to be entertaining not a job. If it’s a job than quit and move on to something more entertaining. It’s really that simple.
