So, here's my take on this.
-
First off, Mods of this forum, if this post should be in the RTTS Feature Premiere thread my apologies and feel free to move it there instead but I'd rather you leave it as a single post.
This might be a text-wall but I'll try and keep it simple.
I just want to offer my reasons for not buying this year, and having "permissions" to speak for 9 of my friends who also are not buying and friends of them who are not sure yet if they will either, let's go:
I am going to come right out and say this: way too much time and resources went into The Negro Leagues thing. Before you freak out calling me you know what (I am not, fyi) having seen today what insane little amount of time that went into RTTS heck even the Stream itself was short and the reactions thereafter I can only come to the conclusion that my first favorite mode Franchise (RTTS is second) will offer very little new and exciting in the features department as well. At least NOTHING to fork over 70 of my hard worked currency exchanged equivalent dollars for. At this point Face Scan will be fun for 3 weeks and 4 days when we've seen it all and done it all, RTTS show; basically the same, Franchise I dread is the same with minor to no changes explain to us why we should buy a roster update that is free on The Show 22 come opening day?
So I guess my main beef is that whole DD thing again getting all the spotlight because that is a way your company can bring in even more money after asking a pretty steep price. Remember that a TON of players only play RTTS & Franchise and I am surprised you guys don't have the numbers on that!? Or maybe you do, but know streamers stream DD and inspire people to buy currency and packs and hence the rich get richer and that matters the most?
I do NOT like the direction this game is headed and I would not be surprised if this year you guys will, how you say, take one on the nose as far as sales go.
I was super excited to hear that The Show 23 was being worked on and what is new this year then it just all went downhill from there the more I learned about its development and priorities and I see I am not the only one thinking this.
I am not saying that The Negro League thing is not important, I am just saying that the priorities that went into this game THIS year where not good.
It's a shame but at least I can still enjoy playing 22 with my friends and only hope that 24 turns out better. You should honor your paying customers more and listen to the community instead of listening to the political mess of a world we have today. Politics should NOT be a part of ANY sport, period. It is good to honor those that shall be honored, but there is not a V-E month it is a day long event. You do everything you can to make a point and look like Johnny GoodBoy at the cost of your essence and your development. I guess a few devs didn't dare speak up either at your meetings, just a hunch, that said:
Peace out!

Yeah, no one is going to touch this take with a ten foot pole. Just an observation lol

They do. It's been a couple of years since they released them publicly, but at the time, RttS was the #1 mode followed closely by DD. Franchise was 87th.
Yes, RttS seemed to be getting short shrift this year. But that can only mean that they're more than likely working on an overhaul and we'll see pretty big changes come next year.
-
Imagine thinking tons of resources went into Negro Leagues glorified moments lmao. See you and the other 9 in 21 days
-
I don't know what politics have to do with it,but there have been hundreds of posts a year on here since 2019 about adding negro league players to the game.

Franchise was 87th? I'm sure you meant something else, just curious what it was haha. I'd imagine by now DD has surpassed Rtts at this point, wouldn't you?

Don't make that assumption until we find out if Storylines is just a redone mode from a few years back when they had storylines which linked a series of moments together (The Cubs Championship Run, Babe's career and others I have forgotten because I did not do them).

You know I was on board with your reasoning until you started with the politics line. Being black and representing black people is not political.

Jesus, that's blindly optimistic. From your mouth to God's ears. I predict...NO.

Its kinda hard not to make that assumption when they basically tells us thats what it is.
In their own words :
"focused on a particular player, users will experience an entertaining narrative journey through short informational videos, followed by gameplay reflecting important moments in that player’s career. "

As long as they support last gen and Switch, there won't be much improvements to graphics and gameplay. Skipping this year, 22 was awful and I still don't have next gen; even then, don't know that it would be worth it.

I haven't played the show since '21, and the tech test was my first time playing it on ps5 since I was finally able to buy one a few months ago. I'm hoping the tech test isn't an accurate representation of what the graphics will look like in the final version, because visually it doesn't really seem any better than two years ago.

mate the visuals look the same for 3 years for sure now yea i hear you !!!
-
That's a lot of money they will leave on the table. My guess it won't be for some time or they make two completely different versions.
Also remember when devs switch to all next gen you know it will be full of bugs and glitches because of new coding. So be careful what you wish for.
-
They make 3 past gen versions after the next gen has launched so I'm thinking this is the last PS4 & Xbox one editions of the game.

Honestly the negro league addition is the only reason I’m thinking about buying the game. These players were amazing and Jackie Robinson was the only one truly honored. Hell he wasn’t even the best player from the negro leagues. But yes they aren’t addressing the game, just adding more features to cover up their failures as a company

The game is still trash, 19 was fun, 20 they patched hitting and ruined the game. 22 was not fun and 22 was a nightmare. The tech test won’t be the game they release because casual players won’t play a game where hitting is too challenging.

Good and valid post … I like those opinions and actions more that just complaining (and still buying the game). If enough feedback (and action) is there, maybe they will change something.
BUT: The reasoning including the politics-thing was totally unnecessary. A lot of people had that high on their wish list … and their wishes fulfilled. You did not, that is the point -

Probably, but if they keep the Switch, it won't help push things forward, unfortunately.
