How SDS Has Become Disconnected from the MLB The Show Community

That could definitely be the case but if so another developer will start making baseball games. So, in the end it could be a good thing if this series refuses to improve then it’s time to get out of the way and let someone new take a shot. Unfortunately, unless microtransactions are abolished the future of all sports games stinks.

It almost feels like this is the final year for SDS. They are all on cruise control. I know they signed a multi-year contract extension with MLB in 2019 but I couldn't find anything on the actual duration of that extension. I hope I'm wrong because if EA or 2K take over it'll be way worse.

Indeed. Micro transactions have ruined ALL games. I will admit some do it very well and in rare cases it's rather tasteful. In most, it's horrible and predatory.

By far the most likely scenario:
Sony is taking the microtransaction money and putting it to other Sony entities and leaving SDS with a team too small to keep up with developing and running a game on multiple generations and platformsBut what other games does Sony do this to?
Destiny 2
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS maybe....I stopped after Taken King which was simply amazing imo. They still have a strong dev team and community to my knowledge ie Bungie. Maybe? But I can see that.
-
The Naughty Dog multi player games had some atrocious microtransactions in their multiplayer modes as well
I believe GT7 had microtransaction issues but not sure if that was overblown or not
-
A bit farther into the past, but Sony's handling of the Everquest franchise when microtransactions first became 'popular' was horrid, and they had the zombie game as well
-
Been playing since The Show 20. This is the earliest I’ve stopped playing in the game’s cycle.

refer to all my other posts for my ideas lol

The game is dead the casuals have already left more people are playing Madden on Xbox right now than this game.
-
@VioletNine9_XBL with your 336 hours are you casual? Also, you played today, so how can it be dead?
-
I was really hoping they would correct some of the issues in Season 2 but it's not looking likely.

The first few days were promising, but s2 is a step backwards from s1 in content so far. And s1 was an enormous leap backward from 2023 already. And that's not even considering the TA cards are disappointing.
To be fair, the xp situation is much better at least. They addressed the loudest/most frequent complaint. But content is worse, and they inexplicably fiddled with the ranked missions which didn't need it. That 200 hit mission in particular while also removing the innings counts over 100.

It's so weird you stalk people's profiles just so you can make some lame attempt to grill them or show them up on something. It's funny you lose your mind when someone drops a name tag and you scream "tHaT's DoxXiNG!" Which it isn't....then proceed to hunt down any bit of information related to their Show account you can and blast them on the forums. What a hypocrite you are.

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN Tell me more about the soundtrack, and show me a post I made where I said someone was doxxing for posting a gamertag.

Maybe so, however, having a fact checker in this forum is not always a bad thing, especially with the amount of bogus claims that seem to find their way to this forum on a regular basis.
