Running List of Why The Show Is a Bad Game
-
@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.

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.

@Squid_Adams_PSN said in Running List of Why The Show Is a Bad Game:
THIS is how you respond, people. Did he add in some unnecessary personal opinions discrediting other people's complaints? 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!
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.
-
@dap1234567890_PSN
I think we've talked about your reading comprehension before. Perhaps it's time for that conversation again? I was suspended for little to nothing the first time, why would it be any different this time? I see this on forums all the time. There's always a guy (in this case, it's you) who wants to distract from the point of the thread because they disagree and/or get their feelings hurt. The more back and forth we have, the likelier it is the post gets locked because it's gotten out of hand. You did that with the last thread, you're doing it with this thread. I'm sure you're flagging it like crazy too. As a logical thinker, it's not hard to come to that conclusion. But hey man (Or lady? Never got confirmation, so trying to be respectful), continue to be hostile. I just want someone to acknowledge my boy @PriorFir4383355_XBL@Doppelganger39_PSN
Came in with hostility? Towards SDS you mean? So you do work with them? Got it. (Sorry, dap looked like he was having so much fun putting words in people's mouths, I wanted to give it a go.) This is a post about what's gone wrong with a once great series. Let's stop focusing on me. I know I'm charismatic and that will always put you on people's lips, but someone took the time to write a compelling reply and ya'll are pretending like it doesn't exist. Don't exclude people, that's just rude. -
@Squid_Adams_PSN You obviously don't get it! You can keep saying its never you and its everyone else here. You can scream at the clouds all you want. It is you and only you that gets you banned and locked out in this forum. There are many things you can do to not have these issues, but you choose to disregard all the common sense and double down on your stupidity. Then you wonder why it is always you and nobody else here. You seriously got some anger issues and just some common sense issues. I think if you fixed your common sense issues, you may find that you would not find yourself with these issues that gets you all riled up and show fits of anger. Only you can fix yourself, but you have to want to fix yourself. However, you are to obstinate to get yourself out of your own way. Keep doing you because obviously it works well for you!

@dap1234567890_PSN
You're repeating yourself, Mr. Unhinged. Do you have any thoughts on what @PriorFir4383355_XBL wrote? -
@Squid_Adams_PSN I must repeat myself because the information isn't getting through your thick skull and you want to double/triple/quadruple down on stupid. So, I must repeat myself to you.
-
@dap1234567890_PSN
Other people feel the way I do. I'm going to request an admin suspend you. You're unhinged, off topic and outwardly disrespecting me, other members on this board, plus you refuse to PM a potential new friend. It doesn't send the right message. Are you too good for him? He got your back and you don't seem to have his. -
@Squid_Adams_PSN HAHAHAHA, you come insult people and then you want to claim to be the victim! Yeah, that won't work here! Anyone can read the forum and see you are the one that initiated all the pain you brought among yourself. I also find it funny that you want someone else to fight battles for you because you know you are the problem! Love that you want to admit that you are a "rat", "tattle tale", "snitch", or whatever else you want to call you what you are doing!
Even if they oblige you, I wouldn't come on here and complain that I was banned like you! You are obviously upset that you have been banned (and probably for good reasons) and you come on here to complain about it, and then you want to try to share the pain! You are a joke!
-
@dap1234567890_PSN
I'm the victim!! You're completely unhinged!! But yeah, it would be nice to see someone show that guy a little respect. He doesn't have to do any arguments for me, but I think what he wrote has plenty of substance. You just want to hijack the thread though, I get it. Unhinged people going to do unhinged things. Let me take the time to reply to his second post without your unhinged interruptions.
