    @AdeptOfMemory Maybe Streamers numbers are down cause people are too busy playing the game instead of watching someone play the game.

    MLB will never compete with Cod on twitch, Not a lot of sports games maybe outside of Madden or Fifa do well on twitch.

    @chucky97___ Sports games don't do well because they aren't near as popular. It's far more entertaining (to the average person not directed) to just watch the real sport than to watch someone play a simulation of that sport.

    It's not as if sports games just don't do well on Twitch or YouTube, it's that they simply are not as popular. There's nothing wrong with that either.

    I'm surprised this thread is still open and some of the posters aren't banned by now.

    That just doesn't track. Interest in the game will translate to interest in streams. I would assume that lots of people who play the game have streams on too -- not most, not the majority, but lots.

    In fact, streamers' numbers being low is probably a fairly reliable indication of player count being low (relatively speaking).

    For anyone else who cares about the streams argument that active players translate to stream viewership:

    Twitch Numbers

    CoD: Warzone - 21.6 Mil followers ~60k concurrent viewers

    Fortnite - 93.1 Mil followers ~85k concurrent viewers

    FIFA 23 - 3.4 Mil followers ~100 concurrent viewers

    Madden 24 - 137k followers ~1.5k concurrent viewers

    MLB The Show 24 - 24.7k followers ~1.7k concurrent viewers

    One thing to add is that's it's not football season and Madden 25 will be released this year probably going to do devastating numbers on The Show (NCAA already will too). FIFA as well will be releasing a new game so those numbers are currently that low because these games are in their final months until new one.

    The only thing we can go buy now is how many downloads or game copies have been sold. We can't really get an accurate number on that. The Show isn't on PC so that makes it even harder and by default means less players.

    This game is much easier to make an argument that it's dead than it is flourishing. And that's not me trying to be shitty that's just because I looked at the numbers.

    @AdeptOfMemory Don't know, but as you stated, you don't need all the relevant data to come to your own conclusions.

    @AdeptOfMemory it's your audience as well, games like cod, apex, fort, those type of games appeal to everyone, sports games are tough because those that play sports might like them, other pop games like BR games reign supreme, I remember mlb 18 was basically over ruled by fortnite.

    Right here my guy...as stated by you...the most important piece of information needed. Cause you're trying to compare Streaming Viewership to people playing a videogame stating there is a direct relationship between the two.

    @chucky97___ So steaming numbers reflect that.....idk what's so hard to grasp about that statement for y'all. If the game isn't as popular and the category of game isn't as popular than it will simply not be as popular.
    I bet you would get a similar result of you searched Pokemonn, hearthstone, or MTGA streams. That category of game isn't as popular as shooters or typical video games. Naturally those games have a smaller playerbase which reflects in a smaller stream usage. That's not hard to understand but SDS simps, oh I'm sorry I learned that hurts y'all's feelings a little bit, SDS chumps refuse to acknowledge a statistic that accurately reflects the size of a community. Y'all think I'm dense but holy [censored].....this is simple math not a Christopher Nolan film.

    @AdeptOfMemory Careful now, that kind of language might mean you can't watch any of your precious Twitch streams when Mommy takes away your puter time.

    Or maybe it just means that Muk Bang is down?

    Nobody's saying The Show streams being down means interest in baseball per se is down.

    C'mon...

    The game is dead to me for sure. Sucks because I love playing baseball games but I’m not gonna spend $1k every season to buy all the players you would need to complete collections. SDS is killing the franchise.
