Refunding the game
-
@KingJonEric
Trust me I get it
I just think comparing going out to eat and receiving an uncooked meal isn’t in the same ballpark when it comes to computers/video games
It’s a false equivalency
But I also know complaining on a forum that sds is 100% not reading atm isn’t going to make them fix this any faster…
The game is really broken at this point and it’s gonna be hours if not a day before it’s fixed

@iRockNewbzz- said in Refunding the game:
Mookie and Sarge must be Brev or Ramone's besties
I truly wish...because I'd be in his ear about changing alot of [censored] with this series. Not the least of which would be server stability

I get it as well. Things happen and I think a majority of us (the community) understand there will be bugs. Players swings are wrong, faces need to be fixed, etc. The real concern is that the switch version is COMPLETELY unplayable. How does that happen? Did anybody either bother try playing the game? For the months leading up to the release SDS should have the entire office playing each other, with cross play on, playing on every single console. This reeks of having absolutely zero quality control/assurance.

@iRockNewbzz-
Well I can only speak for myself I have no relationship with Ramone brev or any individual from sds
But what I do have is logical common sense, what I do have is a maturity level of a well rounded adult which keeps me from crying on the net bc I can’t play a game for a few hours
Something like this happens pretty much every launch of mlb the show is this your first year playing?

@TangoJuliet24
And this is exactly what I said in my original post
The only people that should be speaking about or demeaning refunds are switch players(luckily I’m not in that boat)

@iRockNewbzz- I’m happy for people like Ashley and him for getting good jobs for themselves but that’s part of the reason why the games in the place it’s in, they have people on payroll, which is already a limited one, that like only have experience playing video games. Not coding and actual community managing skills.
We all get it, I guess I'm just more patient and understanding about certain situations. I'm not happy that the game I dropped $145 CAD on is a bucket of the dog's regurgitated breakfast. But Id rather take say 85% efficiency for three and a half weeks if it meant at the end of that the remaining 15% would work properly.
I'm 100% not ok with the lack of communication regarding this issue...that should never be a thing with a community as large as this. They should have come out and said "look we're working on this, we'll make sure to have it rolled out by the April 5th roster update which will give us the time to properly test the fix"

Bingo.

Lol the pick me boys are out in full force
-
Just keep the same energy when the game patch issue is fixed later today.
-
I'm wondering if, with how paranoid they are about falling behind, Nintendo maybe forced SDS into releasing on the switch before everything could be properly meshed? But even last year I don't remember this many issue with Switch users
-
@Tylerslikewhoa lol it’s insane how far your trolling skills have fallen Tyler. You used to be #1 like TheShow now your behind Stardew valley and not even in the top 100
-
Reading these forums confirms my decision not to buy the game for the first time in many years. The seasons debacle and oversaturated 99s along with other things were reasons too but pre-ordering for an incomplete product was high on the list. I may buy it later in the season for a discounted price but I'm still enjoying p5 cards on 23 and playing Hell Let Loose.
-
Well the game is working again watching someone play ranked as we speak
Everyone can breath now… which was my whole point when the game wasn’t working
-
I played a Conquest game for the first time since the troubles. Yay!
-
@bostondirtdog21 yes; same thing. Many people a year die from operating MLB the Show drunk or too fast.
-
@Sarge1387 speak for yourself.
-
@DeleteyourTTVBTW Sorry if the truth makes you feel some type of way. I only say how it is
-
@NCStateHokie Fair point about the game being unplayable right now, but it has run well since launch.
But the seasons are longer and fewer, they're back to a slow build to 99s, and we now have 4 wild card spots. It's not optimal, but not as egregious as 23.
-
Is a refund a legit option if you bought it digitally?
-
@Sarge1387
They weren't allowed time to patch it properly? They have test environments (likely multiple) that mirror Production (Pre-Prod) and they have software that simulates heavy user activity and even bandwidth. They also have an environment for each system architecture (Nintendo/Switch/PS5/PS4/XBOX/PS Pro). They can simulate cross-play too.
Unless they missed it which is on them then they decided to release the update as is, which is also in them. I do this for a living and we miss things, but we also release as is sometimes because a cost-benefit analysis told us to do so. The number one job is to make money and while perfect game play can go hand-in-hand with that, when it comes to money (PR is money this early in the game cycle) or game play, money always wins out.
