End of game will be August 31st IMO
-
At the very beginning of the game I was open to the idea of Sets and expiration as I was Getting tired of having to face the same pitcher every other game type of thing.
As we inch closer to the end of Set 1 and have felt how hard it is to grind when I don’t have all the time in the world to play this game to get 92-97 players, I’m fairly certain that after I can’t use my set 2 cards I’ll have near zero desire to play this game as much as I have so far.
Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed this game and having an elite team from the very beginning helped with that.
Team is currently all set 2 besides Posada
But almost everything being no-sell (i mean atleast give us a quick sell option) , pretty much minimal stub earning from actually playing games, great sellable cards only being hidden in packs in the marketplace (which i refuse to buy cause I’ve heard enough from everyone else saying it’s just a complete waste of stubs), live series cards being absolutely useless in ranked games, and only being able to have 1 wild card in the future just makes me not want to “start over” and will make make this game die 5 months in, besides the true die hards at the end of season 2. Just my opinion.
SDS has been completely ignorant of community feedback so far and has had pretty much zero in game adjustments/updates besides cosmetics and simple stuff. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think just about every game
Update note has said there’s been no gameplay updates/adjustments.Since I don’t have the time to grind and like playing online Ranked I purchased stubs at the beginning & start of set 2 as bday present to myself but have refused to put another dime into the game since then as the realization hit that money spent will literally be useless in less 2 months.
More games will be coming out later in the year as well will keep people away from this game specifically as all work put into the game the last few months will be worthless. I’m sure I’m preaching to choir to many people but I know there will be a time in a few months where I want to pick the game back up and play with the team I “earned/purchased” and won’t be able to which will just cause me to play another game or different console.
I appreciate SDS attempting to try something different but what’s the point of it without listening to community feedback and changing things up as requested by the players of the game? Yes they are a business and want to maximize their profits which is why they made many of the choices they’ve made but I think the choices made will cause the overall amount of players to drastically drop and move to another game as it’s not worth the grind/hassle and is less rewarding in the past. Atleast from the DD perspective, which is the only mode I play.
Remember the times when you opened up a pack a saw a diamond and couldn’t wait to see who walked out? That small but fun feeling is completely gone.
Idk I just know that i won’t want keep “starting over” after earning many p5’s and won’t be able to use them in RS.
The business side of this game years game has clearly changed from previous years will be interesting to see the effects of it as the excitement and “new-ness”’of the game winds down.
Just my thoughts, and wish SDS listened to the community more.

While I certainly think there are valid points here, I think it's a premature to write that SDS is not listening to community feedback. If the feedback you are referencing is the forum and or Reddit, a lot of that is the same group of people complaining about the same things over and over. Many of those posts are people who complain about the game on the forums year after year. SDS is surely looking at usage and player data that we will never have access to. They recently did a survey that we most likely will not see the results of. They may see things in the feedback that will cause them to change course in the second half of the game cycle. They may also see feedback that shows that things are working, and changes will be minimal.

Ultimately I feel like after the mess that was 2018 they came back with great games in 2019, 2020 and 2021. 2022 was a definitive step back and although gameplay is better in 2023 the overall opinion of the community seems to be the game has slid back significantly since 2021 in the fun factor.

Fair enough, appreciate the feedback. While yes a good amount of the feedback I’m referring too is from this forum site, (I’ve never looked at the Reddit page) , most of the community feedback I see most is from my Twitter For You page which is filled with The Show content and content creators as I check that app every hour. Even the big time streamers have so many negative things to say than in the past imo.
You are right about the survey, I forgot about that and didn’t participate as I was focused on some real life stuff and wished I got the chance to do that survey. Hope they actually are willing listen to that feedback from them and not just shove it aside.

SDS is so out of touch with the community at this point that I wouldn’t hold my breath for them to listen and change. A big issue is they look at numbers more than actual people giving feedback. That’s where you get the “working as intended comments” even though the majority of the community that actually gives feedback strongly disagrees.

I thought hiring Cbrev was going to be the best thing possible for a liaison to the community, but I have barely seen him engage. So disappointing.

It’s a shame cuz it’s plays better than it has in years

This game will go to atleast "Finest" series cards come out... that's usually how it is... some players will leave when Madden comes out and others when NBA 2K comes out... but for the most part a good number of players will stick around until a few months before 24 comes out... I feel like I'll be one of them although playing MLB The Show 23 exclusively will probably end soon because there are a few games that I have collecting dust that I kind of want to start playing again, but everytime I boot up The Show I just keep playing it.

Great discussion in this thread. SDS should be reading these for feedback.

I did not have any expectations when he was hired but I can't help but wonder what SDS' definition of a community manager is. It is not someone who actually interacts with the community based on what we have seen.
Does he simply post the promo stuff to twitter?

I honestly think he manages the forum
That’s where I’ve seen him most active- on here

They hired Tbarnes from OS for franchise and Ridin Rosters so far no return on investment
-
For you maybe. I’ll play this game until next years comes out because I love baseball and playing baseball.
-
I'll be on until 24.
