MLB The Show 21: End of Year Review
-
The online portion of this game needs a serious fix. From better working servers to a rebuilt net code need to happen. A game based on timing cannot run the way this one does.
There are other issues that need to be fixed but the online needs a serious overhaul asap.

For first year players, they will always say this is the best baseball game they've ever play. That was the same for me in 20 jumping into DD. First year players shouldn't count. The game is great until you repeatedly see the same worthless [censored] year over year that SDS has jammed into the game. I'm still sticking to my 2.5/5 on this year's game. MLBTS20 was better.
‘20 was one of the worst in the entire franchise IMO, the only year that was worse was ‘18. If you launch a game where the basics of the sport cant be performed for the first 2 months I can’t put it up there with the likes of ‘17 or even ‘19.
20 suffered from COVID shortening the season to 2 months but SDS did a good job w/ the content. They were in a no win situation with 20 although I enjoyed 20 very much.
In the PS4/XBOX ONE era, I would rank :
1-MLB 21
2-MLB 17
3-MLB 20
4-MLB 16
5- MLB 18
6- MLB 19Content doesn’t make up for your players not being able to catch a ball for 2 months, or your pitcher throwing pitches that defy the laws of physics and float into the middle of the zone. Content means nothing if the game plays like sh*t, which ‘20 did, its just my opinion but I stand by ‘20 being the second worst game in this franchises history.
I played about 100 RS (74-27 record) games and likely 200 event games in 20.
I've played 14 RS (12-2 record) games in 21 and about 20 event games.
I don't play BR.
21 has been awful. Hitting has been awful. Pitching overpowered, but that played to my advantage because hitting is so bad. There has been something "off" with this game all year and it has just made me hate it more and more.
I went back to 20 to play some RS and I went like 5-0 before getting bored there too. You could actually hit the ball in 20.
I never said ‘21 was much better haha, the only thing I will praise about this years game is that SDS did everything they could to make DD NMS and to provide line up parody and variety.
At the cost of bad gameplay? I'd rather have good gameplay than some free cards...

This website works as well as the game online as you can see by my five duplicate messages 🥴. Can a mod please delete the extra messages?? Thanks

First bullet from What I don't Like:
To many Homeruns
Last bullet from What I don't Like:
Lack of consistency with hitting.
?????
I know right!! You caught that too! He said “waaaaay too many homers”, then goes on to say “if it’s perfect timing and amazing contact it should be a homer every time!”
Can’t have it both ways.
Misquoted me, but that’s cool…don’t think accuracy was what you were going for here. I said perfect timing/amazing contact should result in a home run or a hit (you missed that or a hit part)
As it currently stands, there’s no rhyme or reason as to why a home run was hit. Just late, early, slightly early etc. Since this is a video game we’re talking about here and not real life baseball…if I, you, or our opponent does something right (such as perfect timing and amazing contact) they deserve to be rewarded. Perfect timing and amazing contact should not result in a line out directly to the first baseman. Just like if you “green” a jump shot in nba 2k…it should result in a made basket (and it does)

Well sh*t. When I was writing this, the only thing I was thinking was “I hope thegoaler reads this in its entirety.” But I forgot that you’re stupid. Guess that makes me stupid too

The pci update legit has me wanting to tank. Nothing enjoyable about playing on HoF. It's awful.

Yeah, well this Mets fan lived through 1986, and doesn't go on game forums writing mini-books trying to get a writing job, lol.
I would never be dumb enough to insult an entire fan base. -

Ok. Fair. Knicks are back! It's safe to wear their gear around the city.
As for the Lions, I have 2 Detroit followers on Twitter, and one Lions fan friend who lives here. I hope they restore the roar soon. -
Things I liked:
- Create a stadium. As the first game to have this it's got a host of problems, but it's a decent start. Just need to work out the issues.
- Game looks great, especially if you have a top-dollar, large TV.
- Love the fact that it's on Xbox now. Long time coming.
- Moments haven't been too bad this year, besides the Clemente ones.
- Conquest is fun and rewarding as always.
What I didn't like:
- RTTS, especially the two-way player path, being as bugged and unrewarding as it is. No batting or pitching title even though I can do both?? Huh?
- Can only play at created stadiums during the day
- MLBTS losing the rights to great cards (Cobb, etc.)
- Clemente moments are very frustrating.
- The patch that screwed up the PCI.
-
7/10 game play patched slowly destroy experience.
-
I Love how they did with TA league levels, variety of Conquest Maps, Innings Programs, Player Programs & all the content which is easy to get as long as 1 is willing to grind for them.
But I do "HATE" how they made the game to be played better On-Line for those who uses Zone Hitting & either Meter, Analog or PinPoint Pitching. It's so much harder this year for average Joe's like me who rely only on Directional Hitting & Classic Pitching.
I "LOVED" RTTS in 14 & 15. They the ruined it with how 1 levels up based on situation outcome rather then using the sliders to level up how "YOU WANT TO". Then ruined even more with the Bro needed for perks.This year takes the prize with making it horribly worse with 2 way player. I "HATE" what RTTS has become.
Franchise has a nice clean fresh look with better & more in depth stat/info windows. But the game play is still the same as it's been for years. No re4al actual improvements to make you feel more like a GM. Can NOT do more then a 3 player trade or offer cash or a draft pick like REAL trading is done. Scouting sucks & really has no impact or effect on draft day. Managers & Coaches really dont do much either other then increase/decrease attributes slightly & how some FA players will feel when you trying to sign them.
MTO is BORING & DRAGGING going thru it. ONLY did it a few times for the TA Gate Points.
I'm on PS4 .... so I can not comment or critique on Stadium Creator or On-Line Leagues.
