Good bye MLB the Show

It’s a real shame to end this way. Waited for the power of PS5, stadium creator man the child in me woke up again. So looking forward to rebuilding a team from scratch. MLB 21 started Orioles franchise playing one last season in their stadium before moving them. I played every painful game only to finish 6th in the WC and missed the playoffs and now I can’t carry over and franchise gets no love.
Thank you for making me realize how much time I wasted playing this game. I waited for years and spent so much time. I’ve dreamt of an MLB game like this since I started tracking stats playing season mode in baseball simulator 1000 on NES. Just like the NES game nothing changed over the years but I only paid for the game once. I’ve been playing the show since 08 So much potential in this game but so little effort for franchise. It’s a shame. But thank God PS5 has so many exciting titles coming out.
Two things Ramone can do:
- don’t break MLB 21 with a patch. At least let us have that.
- Just play straight with us please. We deserve an explanation

This isn’t an airport. You don’t need to announce your departure.

I mean for me, I'm a strong advocate for two year development cycles for sports games. You get better fully realized features that way, and you don't necessarily have that "been there, done that" feeling.
I'd say, take a gap year. If you got '21, skip this year's version if you want to.

And they get the money for that broken game, don't they? The dummies FOMO-in millions regardless of what state the game is in. I don't know whether it's pathetic or ingenious, but either way it's predatory.

I agree that games like the show should just have a roster update every other year and have each game release on a 2 year cycle. However, like it was stated, they know they can put out a new game that's just like the old game and people will line up to preorder. Difficult for a business to turn down money that people are going to throw at them.
All we can do is just buy on an every other year cycle. Sadly if I can't get my hands on a ps5 without over paying for it, I'll be playing 20 again this year.

You know Ramone isn’t a coder, right?
Telling Ramone not to break things with a patch is like telling Jon Hamm not to screw up the transmission on your Mercedes.

Like I said. All That we can do is buy every other year if we don't want to pay full price gor essentially a roster update.

DD is fun and it's cool to get all your favorite players, but it kind of breaks the game at the same time. When everyone on your team is a superstar, the game plays much differently.
You need strengths and weaknesses to play the game correctly, IMO. -

You need strengths and weaknesses to play the game correctly, IMO.Well you put your finger on the larger issue. DD players don't seem as concerned with the strategical nuances of the game nearly as much. Probably a lot more of them are arcade-style players. Complaints and criticisms from the DD crowd seem to focus on button/gamepad mechanic type stuff (perfect timing should result in a HR every time regardless of rating, etc...).
Contrast this with franchise players...I have no evidence but I suspect they are older on average. Complaints are geared towards thinks like AI bullpen management, outcome rates (BB, HR, SO), getting things like bunting and shifts to work correctly, etc...
DD forum has over 140x the posts as this one, so you can see why their priorities are what they are.

Yep this is exactly where the game is going now, so much emphasis is on DD and catering to those casual players.

Ummm, isn't Franchise Mode multiple years? Can't you just continue with your Franchise on 21?

As a franchise player for years, it is frustrating. I do like the new change to MTO for 22. Its an accelerated version of franchise. The most frustrating is how the IGNORE the fact that a lot of people want Online Franchise. Even Madden and NBA 2k have it - and they are the worse when it comes to microtransactions.
DD is fun to grind and probably the only "Ultimate team" mode in sports games that you can spend no money and compete.
RTTS - unfortunately is a snooze fest. There is no innovation with that mode and I think they could have something great there if they could put together a team to do it well.

Define a lot of people..
Even when Online Franchise was in the game it was the least played mode by a pretty large margin.
While I am sure that there is a dedicated group who want to see it return, I think calling that group large is a stretch in comparison to the fans of the other modes.
-
After the franchise and MTO feature premieres, I’m now leaning towards ‘Good buy, MLB The Show’.
Getting TA on board seems to have paid significant dividends. Solid updates to the two modes. Let’s hope it operates as advertised.

Because sds implemented it crappy and community had to come up with workarounds creating extra work just to play
