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 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

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.
Speaking of that, when can I preorder? And when's the Beta? I'm ready.
-
The last Madden I purchased for console was 2004 and I bought a used PSP that had 2008 with it.
-
KOTOR. One game that will get me to set aside MLBtS. Can't wait for a reboot.
-
See you all in April

yeah absolutely
nothing like a good baseball game after a long day of work
-
I’m preordering and probably dropping an additional $200 on stubs to get Trout day 1 and then NMS the rest of the collection.
They need to get a move on though!! We don’t even know who the cover athlete is.
-
I have been not buying games that I would buy every year 2k being the first I lost interest in and Madden will likely be next. I think if I ever get to a point where I don't get excited for the new The Show game will probably be when I just retire from playing video games.
-
If sounds of the show isn’t back on next gen. I will sit it out and just play this one for another year. I only play once or twice a week. This was the first mlb the show I’ve purchased/played since 2011 or somewhere in there. I’m more of a football fan but I loved this year. I suck so bugs and things like that probably only helped me to be honest.

@thongypu_psn said in Boycotting next year's game.:
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 didn’t and now their servers are worst than ever and they aren’t fixing them. They’ve openly admitted the issue. So I will never preorder a madden again. It’s too bad this great man is associated with a [censored] company. I’ll preorder the Show 22 without hesitation. I’ve always liked the show. I played RTTS until this year which was my first dive into DD and I’ve loved every second of it. Sure there have been some issues but nothing to make the game unplayable. Freeze offs suck but they don’t happen often, and a lot of time that has to do with internet more than the servers. The RNG can be annoying but for every one that hasn’t gone in your favor you’ve probably gotten one back. Pitches on the corner same thing. The most annoying thing to me is sending a runner on an XBH and they don’t stop.
Are there flaws sure, but unplayable? No
-
I still think this game plays amazing when not playing H2H. As mentioned before it all goes back to how this game plays online. Sure all the cards are nice, the little new editions like uniforms and create stadiums are always nice. But what are all these things good for if you cannot have fun playing other people H2H? There isnt enough vs CPU content designed to be near as enjoyable. If they arent gonna fix the network infrastructure of this game at least give us game modes vs CPU that are similar to events, BR and RS.
