Update broke the game!
-
I just got booted out of the game and now it says MLB The Show needs an update...looks like my run of being the one person with a working game is over
-
Guarantee whoever is first to the office at SDS has to revert the patch and issue compensation for breaking the game further

There are gremlins in the coding this year.
The code is probably just a total mess from years of changes adding up. Devs leave companies all the time and gone with them is the knowledge of what their code is doing. It’s clear the game hasn’t fundamentally changed, so I doubt any of the underlying functionality has been changed much, just tweaked here and there and you never know when pulling a lever somewhere is going to pull a thousand levers somewhere else. Not even blaming anyone at SDS for this, it’s just the way things work and I could be totally wrong. Would probably take years if they wanted to rebuild the code base from the ground up.

Compensation lol
The altered reality that some people here live in must be glorious
-
@aaronjw76 yeah for real haha. I’ve been playing this game for 4 years now and in that time SDS has done no make rights of any kind. Played madden for about 3 months and they do it every time they mess up. SDS still clears EA by miles of course but it’s just not something I’ve seen in this game that I can remember

@Doctor-Fauci910 in 21 they gave everyone packs because the servers were awful to begin the year.

Let the little kids play baseball. It’s Easter weekend
Loving the small players -
So what I want to know is:
I got booted for the game for a 10g update over an hour after the scheduled time
In a game with an online component how is it possible that I was playing a different version of the game than everyone else?I've seen some bad patches over my years of playing games online. I've learned to not sweat them when things go wrong, things will get fixed. But this may be the strangest I've seen
-
I sometimes lean toward being a bit of an SDS apologist, but this is inexcusably bad.
I have a 4-day weekend (benefit of working for a Catholic school... used to be a 5-day weekend with a half day on Wednesday! Ah the good old days). Hoping this is fixed so I can grind out TA this weekend whilst baseball games run nonstop on the ipad.
Baseball is back!! Not video game baseball, mind you. That's completely broken.
EDIT: Just looked at the patch notes. IF they do fix what they broke, I am excited to see if they really did reduce the flashbangs in Conquest. That will make that mode playable at night with the lights off again. I've only been simming in the afternoon with lights on to reduce the impact of the bright flashes.
-
Get your game fixed ppl diamond dynasty is all i play
-
@go4stros25 I stand corrected, don’t think I preordered that year
-
I mean, if 5 hours from now this is fixed then this is just embarrassing to SDS and funny but its no big deal. If this takes all weekend only to revert to prior state then thats much different
-
a little early on your April fools day prank SDS.
-
Okay...I have now gotten to see the mini teams and its absolutely hilarious. Why are the servers up for me when they are down for everyone else? Who knows...
-
To do this release on the day before Easter holidays is such bad planning. Who approves this?

I mean, an entire platform was unplayable and everyone was yelling at them to fix it yesterday.
But whats gone wrong doesnt have anything to do with they were fixing, and I cant figure out how could have even happened. Where did the little Altuvians come from?

Damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Don't release a patch and get raked over the coals for not fixing things before opening day.
Patch before opening day without enough testing and get raked over the coals.In the end, nobody is excusing them. It is on SDS to create, test and patch the game. I am sure they felt pressure to fix everything before opening day and may have rushed things.
-
Well the patch notes were nice and professional at least
-
Man... I used to praise SDS for their work on MLB TS. Their patching is on par with the disaster that is EA and their hunger for $$$ is just as bad as 2k's.
Cannot play conquest, still cannot play online:
- Because T-Mobile users get a challenge failed message that SDS refuses to acknowledge
- Now the 10 player on bench issue appears when trying to enter any game mode other than Moments.
I Just started a moment and it looks like SDS stole from Midway games playbook by adding Big Head mode. There is a point in the spectrum of disappointment where something transitions from painfully frustrating to a laughable farce. We have reached the latter.
-
@KFREDxRATMONKEY I got the same thing while trying mini seasons I didn't even check conquest. That sucks if that's busted too.
