Yeah It will more than likely be copy and paste...Why mess with a "winning" formula
DD gives them the opportunity to focus on profit rather than innovation.
You've never actually run a business, have you? Without innovation, there is no profit.
Economics major, worked in mortgage companies and small businesses my whole life.
There's a difference between actual innovation and picking the low hanging fruit that is the Gacha system.

If you were, you would understand that DD doesnt allow them to focus on profit.
DD allows the shareholders and corporate to pressure the bosses to pressure the devs to focus on DD ( where their profits are). -

I know there’s changes to stadium creator with night games and some other updates but I’m hoping for something big and revealing for the streams and other gameplay trailers, hopefully something good for franchise mode,
I dont know about the 90 bucks part. never buying this game again. its free on game pass, game pass is the best.

Sooooo I'm right? Fine, it's not the dev's fault. It's corporate's fault. I wasn't directly naming out any specific person or department lol -
I really doubt there's shareholder pressure of any kind w/r/t this game. It's made by a small studio that's owned by a division (playstation studios) of a subsidiary (Sony Interactive) of a massive conglomerate (Sony). Neither the game or SDS is even mentioned in Sony's annual report to shareholders. They're probably focusing on what the data shows is played the most, which is probably shorter game modes that don't require the kind of time investment that hardcore and longtime players might be more interested in. Same story throughout the industry.

This is why we need more baseball games so SDS sees a drop in their profits and it forces them to actually make a good game for once.
we have another baseball game its called MLB9Innings 22 it has good graphics great gameplay and its free and portable

Ok, maybe I should've been more clear. A different baseball game of similar caliber to The Show series. An app game on your phone isn't a real baseball game.
I mean, I think I had 5 different baseball games on my SNES back in the 90's and even on NES!! Why can't we have more than one good baseball game in 2022?

If it is just a copy paste then I won't be buying because 21 was by far the worst MLB The Show I have ever played.

Guess you didn't play 18?

If they can take the gameplay of ‘20 (where contact hitters were viable) and add in the program structures of ‘21 they will have a winner. If they copy/paste ‘21…which was a retread of ‘19 favoring low vision high power cards…the lifespan will be minimal.

Well considering I have Xbox cloud gaming on PC it won't be $90 for me, but I will probably try Franchise mode for a bit and if I see the same things from last years game, I will not be shocked.
They need customization for Franchise mode
ability to have random schedule With or without interleague
Expansion teams
relocation
Division and league realignment
No DH or standard ALL DH rules
NO 3 batter face rule for RP
Keep shifts in game, default is to have them off but you can enable if you want them
Better sliders so you can have a more hits, less Ks, less walks, more SBs more triples type of league. -

It’s so frustrating, I personally have negative hype for release this year. I don’t care about the most recent legend announcement or next reveal or gimmick. I been saying it for years, but making the gameplay fun (specifically the hitting) should have been the priority and it seems so far off the radar now with the money making monster DD has become.
Make the PCI the bat, and let ball trajectories mimmick real life based on the PCI placement. That alone would make the game infinitely more fun. I would have more fun doing batting practice seeing the ball come off the bat differently and accurately every time vs the random outcomes the game is based off now in flashy modes with flashy cards. Hitting bombs randomly vs popping up arbitrarily is pointless.
Make the center of the sweetspot microscopic, who cares. As long as if the PCI placement dictates the trajectory of the ball it will be satisfying. Make the ratings affect the exit velos and size of the sweetspot but make our inputs actually matter and mimmick real life. That’s baseball. The way it is now, it’s an RPG/stratomatic, algorithim, ai feed back loop.
Zero hype. Zero point zero.
