Facts, I’ve never seen a community defend a game so much as the people in here do. You’re right, they have to justify the insane hours and money put into it. Has to be the case, why else would people blindly support this product?

Like the Canuckler guy that always gets fiesty — the dude has 600 hours logged already lmao. 40 hours of MLB a week on average lmfaoo. Of course he’s going to defend the game, it’s his life. He’s working a full time job playing this game!

Please. All of you go type in extreme on Twitter and look at all of the MLB tweets that show up. I'm sure 'extreme' on Twitter is referencing MLB lmfao.

It’s fun to see someone talking to themselves with two accounts. Too bad the third got the banhammer. Sorry Ssammy

All of my co-workers love and play sports games. None of them play this game. Why? It's too hard, for all of them.
Same. I have a ton of friends who play Madden, NBA2K and FIFA but only a couple who play MLBTS. Those who play the other sports game but not The Show all say it’s too hard. In fact, the word most of them use to describe it: “impossible.”

On PlayStation charts -- MLB has not been a top 40 played game in multiple consecutive weeks. To put it in perspective, games like Sniper Elite 5 are listed as top 40...
On Xbox charts -- MLB the Show 23 currently sits at 27 this past week and has been falling, but much of that is due to the fact that the game is free with Gamepass on Xbox so numbers will be inflated. This inflation is doubled down with a chart representing current player base -- MLB the Show 23 was the only game on this list of 100 to have the highest differentiation of hours played to player count ratio. This means that the small number of people who are still playing are logging long hours.
The. Game. Is. Dying. We all know those two or three people that used to play it that don't anymore. Why? Because everyone is a 99, they force you to grind your life away, buying packs from the store is the most boring experience in any ultimate team style gamemode of any sports video game (I mean who from SDS thought it was a good idea to only allow you to pull CORE players in packs... what a snooze fest), and the game is filled with simply too much RNG that most of us in here chalk up to "baseball".
When will the community actually hold the development team accountable? It's riddled with server issues, glitches, bugs, exploits. Since release, there hasn't been a single meaningful gameplay update AT ALL. It's been like this for years now and players are picking up on it. The ones who stay are complacent. We use excuses like "it's the only option, what other baseball game would we play". When people suggest posts like this, they get targeted with phrases like "must of lost today" instead of having an open HONEST dialogue with constructive criticism on how we can provide ways to improve the game through the power of the players.
If not, enjoy making your snobby comments towards people who post in here that are passionate about playing the game at a high level. We're leaving... The game that is your "only option" will continue to bleed out of a player base until it looses enough money year over year to where that option is no longer available. The only ones left behind will be players who don't care for competitive online play, or offline players. I wish I was wrong.
But you dont play at a high level. you're mid at best. Try harder.

I’ll converse with you without disrespecting. This is my opinion:
The game is simply too hard. Years ago the casual player could turn on a fastball, check swing on a breaking ball, and score some runs. But back then this forum was awash with people complaining about how their opponent scored a run when they shouldn’t have. “Skills don't matter” was the most common refrain.
Now you almost have to be a machine to hit well consistently, especially on HoF and Legend, but even AS is too hard for the casuals.
Back when it was easier, people wouldn’t admit when the easier gameplay allowed them to score—oh no. That was all skill. But when “Little Billy” scored because he checked his swing three times then hit a homer with less than perfect timing, the world was ending.
Say what you will about all that, but the game was more fun to play back then.
I don’t think they can go back now, though. The diehards have trained themselves to be better hitters. If they make it as easy to hit as it was in, say, 2016, everyone would seem like a goon, and the real goons would score 50 runs/game.
My view: SDS bowed to the hardcore crowd and sent the casual and somewhat dedicated MBLTS gamers to the showers. I don’t think it’s the all 99s that have turned people away. It’s having a lineup full of 99s and losing 1-0 that’s doing it.
Sorry that the game is too difficult for you now, maybe everything should be on rookie so everyone gets a reward. I’m in the midst of my worse season hitting like .250 you know what I’ve never thought during this? The game should be easier. It’s baseball, baseball is difficult.
You're exactly what the problem is in this community.
Because I want the game on the highest levels to be difficult? Why do you want everything handed to you?
No one wants the game to be easier, are you struggling with reading comprehension? My post mentioned absolutely nothing about how difficult the game is. One person replied giving their thoughts on why CASUAL GAMERS might be leaving the game because it can be too much of a learning curve/difficult. Do you get it now? My lord.
Maurice literally wants the game to be easier he’s been complaining about it for weeks, multiple posts about how the game is too difficult.
Honestly I think you should just quit and leave the forums it would be better for your mental health because right now.. wow..
We're trying to offer an open dialogue here -- you're attacking everyone posting and getting personal. Why? It's a conversation my dude. Take a deep breath and move on if you have nothing of value to contribute to the conversation.
Nah “my dude” the game isn’t dying. Every post from you is about how the game is terrible wah wah wah. Why don’t you go make another post about how you beat someone with lots of hours in and then attack everyone for telling you how stupid a post that was.
Come play a REAL competitive "high level" game like CSGO. This game never been competitive it's RNG location based game. My dude you never ever played a Esport league season in your life you don't know high level skill LOL.
106-91 hitting .266 at least Sammy with the same record is hitting like .310, I’m surprised that being that this game is so low level skill why you’re not better at it?

I’m legitimately confused as to why people spend so much time on a forum discussing and playing a game that is trash and dying. When the NHL series stopped being fun for me I stopped playing and going to the forums. I’m confused as to why others seem to find this impossible to do?
You b**** and moan all day long about how the game is so bad, the devs are incompetent, the grind is too long, there’s too much RNG, there’s not enough realism, anyone who likes the game is a sucker, anyone who disagrees with you is an SDS shill and on and on and on. Yet here you still are every single day playing and complaining. Honestly if it’s that bad, stop playing, stop coming to the forum, stop thinking about the game, go out and play some real baseball for your baseball fix, watch a game on tv, play super mega baseball or mvp 2005, whatever it needs to be and stop doing this for your own mental health.

I promise you I'm done playing. I will always come back to the forums for a temperature check on the game because I hope for eventual improvement. I have to play the game every year (thank god its free now) to see how it plays. Same old stuff. I'll see ya next year, but I'll always be here.

Apparently I'm only allowed to upvote each person 6 times per day and already hit the limit, so you need to stop making good points until it resets.

About time and refreshing to see a post with some thought and reality put into it. Yes, the game is falling, and come Madden release, it with will be the dagger.
Thank you for explaining your arguments and giving strong VALID points to support it. 90 % of the fanbase that read this post wont get it. The game is dead. point blank period.
