MLB yearly
-
no more mlb 25, 26,27 etc. Go the call of duty route, drop an mlb game that can be touched up on year round, no more working on next years game, work on a game that can constantly evolve through the years, maybe drop a new game game every 4 years. One year isn't enough to make drastic changes.

That is kind of the worst idea ever. I like what you're saying if you compared that to something like Fortnite, hearthstone, MTG, or League of Legends. Those games are completely free, live service, only updates and dlc, no paid for expansions. The only thing they profit from are battle passes and cosmetics.
You're asking them to go full blow CoD?? Why tf go in reverse? CoD is in a horrible position but because it's fanbase so [censored] massive and they have like 15 different dev teams they can stick with their model. Keep in mind cod isn't one dev team each year. It's Treyarchh, Activision, and Blizzard. SDS is run out of a crack house in San Diego.
The game should be live service with a card and pack marketplace and let the devs fix bugs and update as they go day to day. They are already on the CoD model. Pay 80 [censored] dollars for the same [censored] then we throw some paid additions your way to get more money.Indie games on steam and games like Balders Gate, Elden Ring, or even Blizzard games do better because of this reason. They have actual live service games with battle passes. I don't love that model but it's WAAAAAY better than the method you're wanting for SDS to take for the show.
If you pay $80 for a full price game you should get everything that comes with a full price game. That's why BG3, Spiderman, and Elden Ring do so [censored] well. You get what you pay for. Not $80 every [censored] year just to pay more money in between.
No thank you.

@AdeptOfMemory you wouldn't spend money every year, thats the point, its just an endless MLB game every 4 years they'd develop a new one. All sports games need to do this.
-
I’m going to assume you’re talking about Warzone because cod does release a game every year. Sds seems especially money hungry this year between the practically begging people to preorder to all of the packs in the shop I don’t think they can afford not selling the base game.
Warzone runs on skins not sure how that’d work in mlb there’s not a single piece of equipment I’d spend money on in a battle pass. They can’t really turn players into other people because that costs money and I rather them use that money on new legends.
-
@Joeflakes you could drop new updates, new parks, new players yearly, make the game free but have in game purchases actually be worth while.
-
@chucky97___ I get you now, apologies. Yeah I don't like the current model of pay $80 bucks then grind for your items until you can't and just spend more money.
I like games with live service because you don't have to pay every year then pay on top. Just have a free base live game with cosmetics or dlc paid on top. Even then I'd say don't make me pay for dlc of a game that is in a bad position.
But I follow you. -
@AdeptOfMemory It's why most sports games stink, they don't have the time or the power to create brand new games every single year, its why most games are a copy paste, now ncaa has been in production for the past 4 years that will set the new standard for sports games.

@chucky97___
I also read where the new COD, coming out in the Fall, actually had more time to be designed. The Dev team has been tinkering with it for a couple of years now. -
@xElRojo44x more years of work is better for games, yearly releases just can't be done anymore. Theres to much information and theres to much want from a player base, just make a base"MLB The Show Vol 1. "
-
Maybe if they drop last gen give it a nice graphic update fix all the issues in the game maybe. One problem would be the players overall. If you’re in year 2 of the game there’s not really a need for anything other than a 99 and I don’t know if players have different 99s would be good. People complained last year about it

@chucky97___
If the game was good all around, I would not mind a "copy and paste" every year. For example, if they made hitting more responsive to user input with less foul balls, more perfect/perfect hits, and put content back to 20/21, then I would happily play that cookie cutter game every year (with new Legends/FB cards of course). -
@Joeflakes You could endlessly get new legends/ flashbacks tho as well as throw in new modes as you see fit. Like imagine MLB with a tournament mode, tournaments online anytime like rocket league, you que up and enter a tourny. Just variety of what they could do if they didn't have to spend half their time working on next years game.
-
@xElRojo44x content in 21 was not a good thing for the game. Online rewards were useless and worse than free cards, along with collection cards, milestone griffey a collection card that year was worse than free cards that took bare minimum to get. That's a bad thing. MLB 2o on the other hand was a good balance. 21 was way to easy to get 99's.

@chucky97___
Yeah my memory is not as good as it used to be, but the year when TA 1 was notably good... I remember it was the year that Eric Davis was the first Reds TA award and I used him as my leadoff hitter for most of the year. That may have been '20, not sure. -
Sports games need to start releasing there games every two years. Because the one year thing is not working out anymore in this day and age. And if they don't start doing that they just need to go the live service route.
-
sub based. I said it years ago. may as well be. it's not like significant changes are made year to year where a new game needs to be released. an ever evolving game is the future of most video games.
-
@chucky97___ Don't they already do that? I have PSN and get alerts of nightly tournaments you can sign up for .....is that not a thing in other consoles?

@Joeflakes said in MLB yearly:
Sds seems especially money hungry this year between the practically begging people to preorder to all of the packs in the shop I don’t think they can afford not selling the base game.
I'm wondering if SDS knew the game this year would be less than acceptable, which is why they pushed hard for preorders
-
@AdeptOfMemory be more of a built in thing game mode, like fortnite.
-
@Sarge1387 every game pushes hard for pre orders.
