Boycotting next year's game.
-
I know ALOT of people, me included, always post about not buying the next version of this game.
Now, I understand that any glitches, bugs, etc, that we are experiencing now SHOULD be rectified when 22 drops; however, how many people would consider not preordering, or even buying, 22 UNTIL we find out if these are fixed?
IE: Freeze offs when the ball is hit to the second baseman.
I'll probably be a sucker and preorder; but what if people actually stuck to their guns and didn't buy the new release UNTIL SDS showed us that they fixed these issues?
-
I stuck to it for Madden this year. I didn't but it for the first time since the early 90s. I'm sure the people who are truly upset will. I still greatly enjoyed this year's game and hope they improve the online gameplay issues.
-
I'm 100% out next year. I'm tired of this game. It's boring. Same stupid cr@p. Same bugs. Same bad programming, etc etc. Screw this game and SDS.
-
Highly unlikely I’ve not purchased a single EA sports title since the bs they pulled with NCAA basketball 2010
-
We hear this stuff on the forum all the time and 9 times out of 10, they are right back here complaining about the next version of the game.
-
I stopped all EA purchases, but I'll for sure buy the Show on day 1. IN SPITE OF its many flaws, it's still a great game AND it doesn't try to bleed its fanbase dry.
Regarding having everything fixed on launch -- not sure that's possible if a glitch is caused/partially caused by thousands of people being on the servers...?
See you at release! (You know you'll be there, cursing yourself.)
-
I hope SDS doesn't go broke........lmao
-
I'm not gonna lie to you, myself or anyone else. Sh*t probably won't get fixed. They'll probably add some minor things to the currently existing formula and slap 22 on it. And then I'll most likely still buy it. Because I love baseball and because this game's biggest strength to this day is still that you don't have to buy a single stub to get all the cards you desire. Even with iffy gameplay, that will always be a W. Once that changes, I'll reconsider. If I end up disliking the game, I'll just stop playing it like I do every year.
-
I did somewhat boycott this year’s version by not purchasing the $100 digital deluxe version and just got the standard
-
be real with yourself, you'll say this in january, but you know you'll see a new legend and instantly buy the game. The gameplay online was poor this year. All they need is dedicated servers and not player to player connection.

I wouldn't say that's ALL they need, but it would be a major step in the right direction.

i hate that argument, the "you dont have to spend money to build a good team" yeah thats cool but you're using that team in modes where the game isnt working properly, ive actually switched over to MUT on madden and yeah i spent some money but its well worth it, becasue im actually enjoying playing madden, mlb i have pretty much every card, but almost every other time i log on to play a game will freeze or the connection isnt there, im wired connection to. Idk just my opinion.

Yeah the networking infrastructure is a major problem in this game. But the argument that you don't have to spend money to create a god squad is definitely true and always has been true when it comes to MLB The Show, regardless of how you feel about other fantasy sports games. To me and to many others, that will always be a W.

I just want Onlime Franchise.

Fair argument. Don't get me wrong, I want the same thing as you.
-
Oh, don't get me wrong. I will most likely preorder. (Wondering if they'll have a version that has the PS4 and PS5 version together like they did this year as I'm getting a PS5 in June.)
This and Madden, until they release the KOTOR reboot on PS5 and I get one, are the only two games I play. So I'll buy 22.
I'm just wondering how much longer people will buy this title if the glaring bugs aren't eventually fixed.
Do they even test the game before they release it?
-
People say they are boycotting next years release at this stage of the game every year. Most don't follow through with it. More power to you if you can stick to your guns and not buy it.
They'll throw around some buzzwords and promises in next years streams, show some cool new feature and drag most naysayers back into the fold.
-
Haven't bought Madden since 2017 and haven't missed it, even though I'm a big football fan but not even close to that with The Show. I know they have their issues and they brutalized Road to the Show, please fix that SDS, but still best sports game by far.
-
I will pre-ordering the first day I can, because despite the issues, I still enjoy playing the game, so they are doing enough right for me to continue pre-ordering
