    100 % agree I feel sorry for the people that paid real moneu for kit. I just bought a pack and got S. Ohtani but for some reason 2k decided to list him as a RF and his secondary position is SP ... 2k look online anywhere no one says he is a starting right fielder. Sometimes people are really retarded

    Ironic seeing as how you keep mentioning 2K in your posts when they haven't developed a baseball game since 2013.

    I'll never understand what goes on in the mind of someone who plays a video game they hate, and their first thought is "Strangers on the Internet must know how much I hate this!" If it's that bad, just quit playing and move on with your life.

    Or maybe, he’s expressing his distress on the forums so maybe SDS could see his post or if other people agree with him? Everyone wants a better product and having the mindset of “just stop playing lol” is pretty ignorant.

    Actually, if improving the game is really your goal then the "just stop playing" mindset is your best hope of achieving that. Message board posts can be easily ignored, but a large enough decrease in game/stub sales can't.

    Just stop playing? What does that accomplish? Anyone that has paid for a product period..and is unsatisfied with it. Just stop using it and STFU. That's your answer?

    No, the answer is to pass the word along to as many as you can reach. Make the information far reaching enough that folks that haven't bought the game that are considering it won't... if their purchase intent is based on enjoying a competitive MLB simulation.

    People that have bought it and might be considering buying it again because the marketing tactics every year state "Much improved"..do not. Because every year it's the same 'ol arcade play.

    The only way to make that happen is get the experienced word out on the street to any "potential" future buyers.

    You have heard of customer reviews correct? They are HUGE in influencing future purchasers. The negative as well as positive.

    This game is a hot flaming pile of dog s@#$.. But yet we all myself included come back for more. Probably because we're chasing that "fun" feeling when the game doesn't f you over. But 80% of games are just rage inducing bs where you feel cheated and pissed off by the end.

    Gotta love the algo to make every game close as well! If you’re winning a game in the 9th inning you can be assured that all of your opponents batters immediately turn into Jesus Christ.

    Offline plays better but there's still unusual batted balls based on hitting feedback.

    I hit a ball foul with "good timing" and then the next pitch the timing changed to "just late". This was offline, so it really makes you wonder what is going on if the feedback is all screwed up, how are these things affecting the actual gameplay?

    Between the inconsistent pitch speeds, 11 PCI bombs, incorrect feedback, perfect-perfect fouls... Idk if the game is broken, if DDA is real... But I do feel like SDS is gaslighting us.

    Also... Idk how you hit the consistent 100+ MPH velos without a monitor or high end gaming TV.

    It's one thing to get these things to be a professional or competitive gamer, it's totally different if you need it to play casually.

    Your gripe is that he's listed as RF with SP secondary? You pulled his home run derby card which is obviously tailored to hitting.

    His complaint is that 2K doesn't know his position.

    I think he should tweet at 2K and email 2K, then share the responses he gets here 🙂

    Agree with the point you don't need to change any hardware to fix broken software. But, there is no such thing as a professional gamer in MLB The Show. In a fixed environment, there is the AI and everyone else pretty equally grouped.

    More frustration than anything. It takes so long in this game to adjust, get better, recognize pitches and sequencing, etc. Then you make it to the higher levels and realize there’s a ceiling for skill. It becomes so random and unfair, that it loses its appeal. Guys that are swinging at pitches in the dirt and balls tailing 2 feet away from the strike zone don’t deserve hits, plain and simple.

    That is maddening

    Ignorant is playing a game you think is "rubbish."

    Ignorant is playing a game like The Show and believing it's anything but a Computer-controlled arcade game. It's someone trying to convince others that it's a true simulation and not a randomized AI animation generator.

    The guy admitted he spent 3 months before he learned his lesson. Don't use the bullying-gaslighting unsavory marketing tactics to make him feel bad for complaining.

    Where do you put your pacifier when you play?

    Game freezes multiple times weekly

    I wish as an employee that I could deliver a broken product or half [censored] a job and get paid to do so

    This game is a complete piece of unfinished, broken garbage

    If you play this game expecting it to be true to user input, you'll be sorely disappointed. I just lost a game where I had like 20 hard hit balls to 4 and lost 3-1. It was a wonky connection as some P/P swings went foul. I just laughed. You can't take this game seriously as a competitive game.

    Disagree completely. Clearly they are just guessing so if the guess correctly, it is what it is. Gotta try to not be predictable and you better be able to cover a random solo shot or two.
