End of game will be August 31st IMO

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.
