There are more people playing Farming Simulator than this game on Xbox One. This game is dead.

If you knew how Google worked, you would understand that anyone can find that information. Which is false BTW.

MLBTS24 is #2 on Gamepass this week. It's hard to believe but ya go figure.
Maybe it's more people playing other modes than DD? The saving grace of this game for me right now is Franchise.
DD 24 is the worst DD ever but I think many play non-DD modes

In the old days of 2020 through 2022, we used to post about fun stuff... like "who's hotter... Anne Hathaway or Jessica Chastain?" (the answer, in a runaway, was Jessica). Or, about "Ross and Rachel". Right, @Ericulous1_PSN and @SchnauzerFace_MLBTS ?
Man, the forums were at their peak when those guys posted regularly. Oh, and many of us actually posted about "how to get through a Program". Long programs, that would take more than a day to get through.
See, SDS used to have this thing called "Content"...
Now I'm just starting to ramble.

Ranked totals from the leaderboards
World Series 1890 players
Championship Series 6180 players
Division Series 18255 players
Wild Card 43215 players
Pennant Race 62010 players
All Star 111435 players
Regular Season 87510 players
Spring Training 40380364,794 people have played Ranked Seasons, this season.
Just to put this number into perspective. A game like CounterStrike has 800k at any moment playing that game and essentially that game is 12 years old. Fortnite (7 years old) is up to 3.5 million at any moment, GTA 5 (11 year old game) had over 3 million players over the last 30 days. So having 365k total players play an online mode so far this season is not impressive. Madden 24 on PC had close to 10k online at peak times at a given moment in Feb. For Madden, PC is a very small fraction of their users.
I have played The Show games for a really long time, MLBShow 24 is by far the least amount of time I have spent playing the series. I would love to see your #'s compared to last year's #'s. I can't imagine they are even close. My entire group of friends who play this game, have pretty much cut their game time down 80%, and these are hard core baseball fans who have played baseball and various levels from College to Triple A.

No one is rooting for a demise but something is clearly wrong here.
Precisely. This game prior to 23 typically had a more thriving community until October, which makes sense because by then the 'Series in winding down and other games like CoD or NHL are coming out. Even the Reddit sub isn't as active. Now obviously there is more active users on the game than say, on this forum. But that doesn't mean they're not a part of the Reddit sub, or even the Show FB page.
The fact that there appears to be a steep drop off in players PRE Allstar break should send up a red flag for SDS and Sony

Thanks Sarge, this is exactly what I've been trying to say. No other sports games have had drop off like this in season, hopefully someone at Sony/SDS is taking notice.

I’m too lazy to read all the comments but seeing the guy post about the forums and game being dead lol I agree! Plus you guys don’t seem to know what sarcastic humor is

The game will be fine, especially if the lead producer over seeing the live content is shown the door after this year. They simply need to go back to what works 19-22

@whiplash0013_PSN thanks for the post. Well put for sure.
If you’re asking about my personal time investment year over year? I’m playing as much as I normally do, but I’m playing less online for sure. That’s due to the rewards not appealing to me, and the fact that we don’t have to chase every card for collections, which I really like. And I just buy the cards I want once they get down to the 30-40k stub range.

The problem with the forum these days is that there are two groups at opposite ends of the spectrum. Those who are happy with the game and will jump into any negative thread to try and convince others that everything is fine. Then there are those who are unhappy with the game and will jump into any positive thread and try to convince those who are enjoying themselves that they really aren't.
They have not learned to just agree to disagree and both sides feel the need to be "right" so they end up fighting in almost every thread. It's tiring, and not at all inviting for the average, casual, middle-ground users on the forum.

@Dolenz64_XBL well basically the forum is Adept and BJ arguing daily and hijacking everyone's posts.

Depends on which version of Anne Hathaway we're talking about. I was never a fan of her....but then she played Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises and snuck into my top 5. Since then though, shes back outside the top 20ish.

The forum is no where close to where it’s been in prior years
I’m sure many are still playing the game
And the fault is not the game … not SDS … but more so crazy people with „memory“
problems … -
I'd agree with this statement. I'm somewhere in the middle, personally. The game could be in a MUCH better state, and probably should be...hence the drop off in players early. That being said, the game is still fun, I played for 2.5 hours last night, but just RTTS. Just because DD is bordering on mid-ness doesn't mean the rest of the modes are.
I've always kinda likened my relationship with this game to sticking your meat in crazy. Sure you know it's toxic, she's nuts, does alot of things that make you uncomfortable...but it just feels so good when you do it and there's nothing quite like it.

OK. That is fair. I was asking more about the stats you provided, would love to know what a year over year would look like as far as # of online players or heck even # of average hours put into DD this year vs last. I know my hours are a fraction of where I was at this point last year.

@Dolenz64_XBL well basically the forum is Adept and BJ arguing daily and hijacking everyone's posts.
I would like to know how many of these times I've made a non combative comment and BJ comes from the rafters.
I never try to do that. I don't like talking [censored] about people's post or their gameplay. I like to comment cause I enjoy talking to people about the game. If you noticed I made a joke and the gremlin came after me multiple times.
The only thing I could do is not post. But I'm not gonna stop posting as I enjoy this game and like the forums and most people on it.Id like to know who the hijacker really is.

You're seriously gonna throw down the "woe is me" victim card here? Lets not act like he's picking on you when all you wanna do is have a civil conversation. You attack anyone in here that doesnt have the same issues as you with this game. God forbid people actually have fun playing, they're just shills or on the payroll or some other "your opinion is wrong" type of comment..
