@jaychvz_XBL im in an over 40 custom league. It's a chill group. All that we ask is that you be active and play a couple games a week. Let me know if you are interested.
-
@sleever44_PSN See my message in this thread to another player. If you are interested let me know.

This is great to see older guys playing. I'm 43 and love playing . I play both online and offline. I'm can normally get to about 600 in RS but then I move on to something else like events or offline.
-
45 and this is the first year that i can definitively see I'm getting worse at the game. Made WS in past. I usually play on HoF. Now that I'm older my interest really lies in strategy game and mlb the show. I am interested in the new NCAA football though
-
I’m 45. Starting playing in ‘20 and got beat up on. Slowly started to get better. Made WS for the first time last year. This year 2x flawless and on the verge of WS. I woulda had it last year except for a stupid disconnect cost me 30 points at the end. I’ll get it this time.

I’m 57 . I’m disabled. ( chronic back & hip pain , 2 bad surgeries ) . I mostly play casually . Mostly rookie or veteran against the cpu on DD or Franchise. I Love baseball . I play once in a while against people and get my [censored] beat and go back to casual. I’ve been playing The Show since the first year on Xbox. I mostly have a lot of fun, but this year’s game has been pretty frustrating at times with bad glitches, bad play mechanics and other problems. But I’m still playing & hoping it gets better.

I'm old and terrible.

I am 52 and descent at the game. I can still beat my 14 year old son, some of the time. Not really digging this year's game with the Season format, but I used to love this game. Been playing since the PS3 first came out in 2007. While I can and sometimes do play at higher levels, I prefer Veteran and Allstar. I play online occasionally but I tend to stick to the offline content.

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN I'm 42

@jaychvz_XBL No not really. 56 and my reflexes are shot. So are my eyes.
-
I’m 60,and every time I think I’m good I go play ranked and get humbled, did make it to all-star level once last year but as long as I’ve been playing I would think that I would be better I think I’ve topped out,still enjoy it and probably play forever
-
Just turned 50. I play legend in RTTS but I have to turn down the CPU pitching fastball and off-speed sliders to the lowest speed. Otherwise, I'm late on every fastball unless I fully commit to fastball and I have no chance to hit off-speed if I guess wrong. To make up for that, I raise the CPU pitching accuracy almost to the maximum. This way, I get the hardest pitch sequences the game has to offer, and I have to be able to hit pitches on the edges of the zone, and I give myself a chance to still make contact if I don't guess the speed correctly.

69yrs old started playing MLB the show 21 . I play mostly offline DD. Conquest is my favorite game mode. And I enjoy completing all of my collections. I play friends online and occasionally I will go into a ranked game. I think I’m fairly good lol

I'm 47 and have been playing baseball games since 1996(HS Years). I still have a few versions om the PS2, but came to XBox in 2022. I am teaching my 8 and 11 year old boys all the small things in the game you may never learn in the 8U and above levels. I started playing online and a few months ago and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I am better the some and worst then most and like Crosley or Fenway as my home stadiums. I would use The Polo Grounds but am not that bold. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the play. I wish spotting pitches were a tad bit easier, but I enjoy the game.
-
Late 40s. Been playing this since the 989 days. I'm still no good online.
Definitely prefer the conquests etc.
I just love baseball though, even though the Oakland A's are ripping out my heart. I have a hard time thinking about not having this game to play every year, good or bad. -

You mean... "The A's"

I myself am 54 years old and I know online gets a bad rap but if any of you are willing to talk just for 5 mins and let me explain type of person I am and type of league I have I can guarantee you 100% you will get played right in my league. I don't put disrespectful kids in my league, I don't put up with shenanigans or cheaters. If your willing to give me 5 mins of your time let me go over with you what I have built for us old FAIR-PLAY guys and by the end of that conversation your not convinced then we can leave it at that go our separate ways.
Please message me on PLAYSTATION at MLBNETWORK365
Thanks

I’m 50 !! I’m ok … but struggling with pci movement for years !! Also playing all-star level for years…

I'd love to get a league of older guys, 40 and up to play some real simulation baseball. This nonsense of all of the on screen aids and speed pitching (2-3 seconds in between pitches) takes away from the game. Every league does it. EVERY league. People just don't have patience any longer and enjoy the beauty of the game. Everyone's in a hurry and can't enjoy the experience. Sad, really, with generally such a good looking game.
But if anyone is a true simulation player, let me know. Classic pitching, no onscreen batting aids. As pure as it can be done.
-
I'm 65 and play it. I started out with strat-o-matic baseball in the 70's and just two years ago decided to play on a Playstation. I did play in the early 200's with High heat, Triple Play but once it moved away from the PC I stopped all gaming until 2 years ago.
Now, I am excited about the NCAA football game, and hopefully next year a Nascar game that can be as good as N2003 from Sierra/Papyrus.
I play franchise mode and RTTS mode. I finally got to a 99 in my RTTS, as a 1B with the Astros that drafted me in the 5th round.
In franchise mode I am playing the the Baltimore Orioles and neck and neck with the Yankees for the division lead with a little over a month to go in the season. I will make the playoffs but I do not know if I will have to go in as a wild card team.
I play simulation, with pitching on Legend and batting on All-star.
