It's honestly amazing how good this game is

Shameful plug there, Ramone.

I agree with this poster, and find it well balanced. Most of the complaints I see seem to not watch real baseball. In real life, a lot of perfectly hit hard balls go for outs. Pitches off the plate sometimes go for big doubles or home runs. The most dominate teams win ~100 games out of 162. And in games I'm in, even when matched against someone way better than me (which is frequent), the final score is realistic. I wouldn't want this game to be such that the gameplay is such that when you get really good all your players bat 800 and the scores are in the fifties. To me, it feels like baseball and I love it. My only complaint is that I enjoy it when the best cards are in the mid-90s and you can level up. I don't like it as much when everyone starts fielding 99 teams and most hitters have 120+ power and the pitchers are all ridiculous. I'd like an option to play RS with a team rating cap.

Game is in a really good spot. Patience and methodical gameplay is rewarded over hyper-aggressiveness. Strategy is a big factor in winning. The only thing i'd want changed is the effectiveness of that darn sinker. High sinkers are too effective in game and they wouldn't be IRL

Content is KING

I love the two extremes on this site. It's the worst game ever and the greatest game ever at the same time!
-
I figured I’d switch things up from the normal “WAH THIS GAME SUCKS ITS NOT REALISTIC OMGGGGGGGGG IM NOT GOOD AT THIS GAME BUT ILL BLAME IT ON THE GAME” posts
-
I agree... this is a really good sports game and DD is better than other team building modes I've played. The only issue I have is the bizarre things that happen in online games like... catcher freezing during steals, bad contact hits, ect. The game definitely plays better offline and should be the same.
-
I have issues with the game as a middling-at-best DD player, but all in all, it is a very good game. yes, there is a learning curve that needs to be overcome, but it's very fun and rewarding.

The graphics, the gameplay, different modes, the different moments, all of the legends, RTTS......this game seriously has it all. Never in all of my years did I think I'd see video games come this far, and this game is the best sports game out there at the moment by a country mile.
A major pat on the back to SDS for what they have done, I hope they continue this for years to come.
I just got done defending the game from someone who said the game gets worse every year but the graphics were slightly disappointing on next gen which will hopefully see more of a true next gen upgrade with 22. Outside of the fluky non squared up homeruns and bloop [censored] hits which have been an issue since they switched to the ball physics hitting engine, this years game saw some great improvements especially with check swings and pinpoint which they actually improved with the patch.
How have check swings been fixed? I get it, check swings last year were an absolute disaster, but this year its just as bad except flipped. Please explain to me how this company can't figure out what constitutes a checked swing in baseball? You barely flinch now and it's a checked swing.

This game is horrendous. I’m sick of people sticking up for SDS. Content is the only thing that has saved this game since 19. SDS is producing [censored] just like EA, because they know there isn’t a better option.
-
Content is good, and they deserve praise for making it easy to build good/great teams without spending money on stubs.
Gameplay is not good. Played for 4 years now and it's never been close to good. The field plays so small that it's HRs or nothing.
This may be the best sports game on the market (haven't played any others for years) but that's more an indictment of other games than it is praise for The Show.

Makes me laugh all the people who hate this game yet play it everyday (and complain and cry ) like clockwork at a certain point u might need therapy.

It's not the worst or best. It's probably worth the price, but it's not a sports simulation. If your intent is to buy a game in order to "compete" with fellow human..this ain't it.
If you understand you're playing against AI even when you're "playing" against a human opponent..it's all good.

High sinkers is your single hangup. And your name isn't Ramone?
That's another thing the gatekeepers (gaslighters) like to do. They'll focus on some silly trivial thing in the game that is so-so low on the totem poll..relatively speaking. And they'll just write post after post about it. Pinpoint is over-powered, sinkers suck, etc. Which, perhaps they are, but that's not even scratching the surface of the obvious AI interference to control outcomes.
Meanwhile, irritated folks drop posts in here about the overly manipulative AI and resulting horror stories and these same posters come to the defense of "da game" and blame it all on the terrible player, the monitor, or the lag.
It's a farce and I believe the gaslighters don't realize anyone with 2 brain-cells to rub together see through the scam. Follow the tons of profile and watch them contradict themselves all the time.
They'll answer replies from themselves as if they are a different profile..completely forgetting which profile they are currently using. That's just amateurish gaslighting (utilizing the power of numbers) to not keep track of your profile or the character that profile is supposed to adhere to.
They'll post stuff to bait people into giving up info about themselves. It's fun just to watch and sometimes play back. In fact, it's a lot of fun.
And that's fine. Everyone gonna post what they wanna post. Free country.

Agreed. There are things that need tweaking for sure, but in the absence of larger issues people blow up the small/mid sized issues.
The server issues were really bad, but been good since.

The community in April: Gameplay is great! If they could just fix the servers then this game would be perfect!
...SDS dramatically improves servers and other than a contact swing adjustment that most are fine with, makes zero changes to gameplay...
The community in July: Gameplay is trash! Fix your game!

It's like this every year and I 100% am convinced it's OP 90+ diamonds breaking the game engine.

Well said. Agree wholeheartedly with your whole assessment.

See I play offline mostly to parallel players. I have 72 ranked games, have only completed one br program for story. This game is trash and I’m sorry you don’t think so. Those who think it’s good are the ones in the minority
