Running List of Why The Show Is a Bad Game

@Dolenz_PSN In the Good Ol' U.S of A, especially when discussing a game that's about the great American past time, freedom of speech exists. You should always defend that right and never give up because "it's the way it is." We've already gotten a taste of having our rights taken away in the last 5 years. You best spit that rotten meat out.
@dap1234567890_PSN Hey Mr. Moderator. Sorry, didn't mean to talk badly about how good of a job you're doing suppressing free speech. Only good things must be said about the game!
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN Yeah, I really wish people wouldn't have responded that way...it wasn't fair to me trying to have an adult discussion about how we can improve the game. I love baseball and don't want to be cheated out of enjoying it because of a bad game. It's become more and more like Madden over the years and people who like this series can't sit idly by and let it happen.
No offense, but you just contradicted yourself.
In your first two replies, especially the second one, you attack the poster. Them in your third reply, to me, you say that it wasn't fair to you; when you were trying to have an adult conversation.

@Squid_Adams_PSN You want to complain about your "freedom of speech" in this forum (which really doesn't exist because it is a private forum as mentioned earlier) but you don't want other people to have that same "freedom of speech" and want to censor other people because you don't like their speech. Sounds like you are intolerant and you get [censored]-hurt when you hear something you don't like. Then you resort to calling people names and then you want to claim you didn't do anything. Wow, you are pathetic!

In before lock.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN It's after 12 o'clock in San Diego. SDS is off work and at the beach already. This won't get locked until Monday at the earliest. Break out the popcorn!

THIS is how you respond, people. Did he add in some unnecessary personal opinions discrediting other people's complaints and experiences? Sure he did. But ultimately 95% of his post made real world logical sense. Maybe SDS is capped because of everything you laid out and Sony taking the money they do. Perhaps I'm not looking at how much more money 2K has than Playstation / SDS? But regardless, I can sink my teeth into more of what you said because it included straight up, emotionless information that explains some of my criticisms. Well done for most of this post!

You should run them out of business by not giving them your $79-$99. That’ll teach them.

I'm breaking it out for this budding bro-mance between you and @x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN ! Honestly, you've got a sort of kinship going on here. Maybe the divine reason this game is so mind blowingly bad that it makes me want to talk about it on the forums, was so you two could develop a friendship. PM your phone numbers to each other and get together for a ball game and some beers! Maybe some good will come out of all this (even if it's not The Show becoming a great baseball game again.) I'm literally not joking. Friends are hard to find these days and I think you two have got some chemistry. Plus you can play your favorite game together!
@fubar2k7_PSN Bruh, I just pointed out what a good post looks and sounds like. Learn from that guy. And break out your popcorn for the bro-mance! I really want to see where this goes. I hope they get together and post pics for us.

@Squid_Adams_PSN I'm not sorry that you are jealous of two strangers on an internet forum because nobody wants to be your friend. Your posts just get weirder and weirder and more unhinged as they come. Maybe you should actually go talk to someone (in real life) about your issues instead of coming to an internet forum with your issues om display.

@dap1234567890_PSN
Are you a girl? (asking because of the emojis) if so, don't be upset with me about the bro-mance thing. Could be a romance too! But nah, not jealous. I think two strangers becoming friends (or whatever you two will become!) in random ways is awesome. Every time I see something about people who met playing online video games and then meet IRL and become good friends, it makes me feel good. Please do message him! I'm genuinely curious to see if I'm a matchmaker for bros or for couples.Also, not to get off topic with you PM'ing your bro, but what is your definition of unhinged? When I think of that term, I think of someone like Aaron Hernandez. It's a pretty strong term, so takes a pretty extreme example for me to apply it to someone. I think a lot of people need to re-evaluate how they use words. A lot get diluted.

I appreciate that. Truth is I dug deep into the wells of the internet to conjure up all the research into SDS's spreadsheet details that I could find because I was curious. And what I learned is that what is shared to the public is a frightfully small sliver of the actual pie.
My view is DD gets the lion's share of the resources because some suits at Sony and fewer still at SDS think it's where the "real money" lives. But, I reject that logic, because no matter what it seems to me that the vast majority of the revenue that SDS actually earns from MLB The Show is from the initial cost of purchasing the game, and NOT from any post-sale additional revenues. So, it seems reasonable to me that SDS should better balance its level of mode support, vice sink so much of it into DD.
It's no secret that my niche love of The Show is in RTTS and Custom Stadiums. I just enjoy playing virtual baseball games because in my sixties it's as close to playing actual baseball games as my body can handle! To those who don't understand that, don't worry, in time you all will! LOL!!
In my view, customer custom content is the great unfulfilled opportunity for SDS and they clearly don't see it that way. Custom uniforms, logos, and stadiums are a wellspring that would add great interest in the game long after folks have played out the string in DD and even RTTS, or carried their GM'd team to the WS multiple times. And honestly, listening to people complain about how many times folks play reindeer games in online games I cannot understand why anyone wishes to stick their toes into those foul waters!
My "shot" at some in the community is therefore based on reading the repeated angry tomes of those who see things in the absolutes of small minds who cannot fathom nuance, much less engage in it. I don't think the folks who work at SDS are a collection of misfits and bad people. Some may be, but I think at least most are not.
That said, there are fair criticisms to level. I have seen over five years bug reports issued first with MLB 21 that have gone to this day unfixed. Folks, there's no excuse for that! And I'm talking about basic functions not working properly, like stadium seats in custom stadiums going from their assigned colors to pure white or most recently grey for no good reason, spoiling the look of stadiums already blanched of life by deliberate efforts to ensure they are trapped in relative degradation.
Custom uniforms are limited to just two options for each custom team despite MLB teams having five uniforms in MLB The Show (home, home alternate, road, road alternate, and city connect) all featuring the option for shoulder patches. Given this reality, the reality that custom uniforms remain down to just two options devoid of shoulder patches is simply deliberate malice of inaction on the part of SDS.
They deserved to be proverbially raked over the coals for stuff like that!

@Squid_Adams_PSN You have a serious issue with your obsessiveness about two other posters and trying to insinuate things that are absurd. That makes you unstable and unhinged. You truly got some issues and then you wonder why you got banned and had your posts get locked. If you weren't unhinged and unstable, you probably wouldn't get your posts locked and get banned for your posts! These things happen to you because of your actions! Blaming everyone else for what happens to you when you cause your own issues is also being unstable and unhinged. You screw yourself with these posts you make!

@dap1234567890_PSN
Whats your sds employee number? -
@Knighter_NSW 1234567890, Duh! You aren't very smart are you! Obviously, if I was SDS this topic would have been deleted a long time ago. But, of course only dumb trolls use the SDS employee/moderator/whatever insult over and over again because they have no brains to come up with anything else.
-
We got @PriorFir4383355_XBL over here adding to the conversation with rational and informative replies and you're still fixated on me and how I'm getting under your thin skin. Your tunnel vision and obsession with just my posts leads me to think you might be unhinged and I just set off a switch in you. Maybe you should talk to a professional about how a stranger online who is talking negatively about your favorite video game is affecting your mental well-being. Seriously man (or miss?) , PM that guy and make a friend. I'm not interested in your replies anymore now that I've seen what a good one looks like.
-
@Squid_Adams_PSN You have an obsession with me is more like it. I have been having plenty other conversations, but you keep talking [censored]. I get that your idea of "rational and informative" is anyone parroting the same nonsense as you and you don't like anyone saying things that you disagree with. That makes you the narrow-minded thinker. And according to your own non-sense, since he agrees with you, you two must be lovers now. Great, maybe now you can go have fun.
-
@dap1234567890_PSN
For your mental well-being I hope you either
A) Get professional help
B) PM that guy and make a new friend
C) Get a promotion from your boss at SDS so you can lock any thread you don't agree with.Right now, your obsession is going to frighteningly unhinged levels.
-
@Squid_Adams_PSN You must have forgotten you already came up with this stuff. Maybe you need to get your head checked. No wonder you can't figure out why you get banned and have your topics get locked. Not very bright are you!
-
@dap1234567890_PSN
Oh, I'm sure I'll get suspended for this. Just like you're putting on full display, the world is full of softies that don't know what unhinged behavior actually is, so I'm sure I sound like Dr. Evil to some people here. Then you have the adults who know better. I'm cool with this hypothetical suspension, just as long as you join me. I've tried staying on topic, acknowledging someone who had a well thought out post instead of some reactionary man/lady... but you keep trying to drag it down so it DOES get locked. And me wanting you to make a friend is not a bad thing. Pull yourself together. -
@Squid_Adams_PSN So you are admitting that you are intentionally violating the TOS and should be banned because you can't help but go crazy in an online forum. You admit you have ben banned for this same thing in the past and you keep doing it. You can't figure out that you are the cause of your own problems and want to blame everyone else. You keep responding but with stuff that you admit you should be banned for and then want to blame me for you getting banned and having your topics getting locked. But again, I guess I need to repeat myself over and over again to you because it doesn't get through your thick skull.

You do not have the freedom to attack people, you came in with hostility and got treated accordingly lol.
