STARTING TO BECOME UNREALISTIC ONLINE
-
Morning,
I have asked several times and im going to try this again.
Whoever made the decision to only give 1 position to players this year for live series cards didn't consider how this effects CUSTOM LEAGUES.
We have constantly players out of position because of this. We use real life teams lineup fior each game as we follow the real life 2025 MLB Schedule in my custom league. We have done this since 2020.
All im asking is please take it under consideration and add these positions to the players I have listed. I spent the time myself and gathered the info and proof 2 months ago and still not 1 player was updated since.
I have supported this game since 2011 and im almost to the end where im mo longer going to because in the beginning u guys were super nice responded and fixed things when asked now I just get ignored.
There was a time I gave a height and weight corrections list and the lead designer at the time thanked me and appreciated the "attention to detail" his words not mine.
My intentions is only to make the game enjoyable for us die hard online guys who ONLY play in custom leagues and buy this game ever year.
We constantly are having to accept you guys removing "key features" that's killing the immersion of baseball.
Since 2018 there was no more online franchise what we got in 2020 is nothing like we had from 2008-2017.
In 2022 you guys decide to remove WIND in all online games 2 months after release here we are in 2025 abd still has not been turned back on. This is unrealistic as wind and weather is a huge part of baseball and any outside ballpark.
Ok so in 2023 the next year you remove injuries from all online games. Same as above unrealistic your the only sports game that does this not allowing all weather and injuries online!
In 2024 you decide to remove step outs at the plate in all online games which again is ridiculously unrealistic! It's a part of baseball they do ut plenty of times in real life.
Now in 2025 you decide to cut pause timer to 1:30 that resulted in constantly forfeit games on our custom leagues because yes we pause to make substitutions in 7th and on and we pause to check pitcher analysis.
You remove the effect of using bullpen slow toss, schedule to put in relief pitchers etc online making all pitcher automatically ready again unrealistic just give us options the people who wanna skip thru presentation be in a hurry or not play with wind give them options to play rushed but for people like myself and im sure many others give us options to turn on or off these things how we personally wanna play and have these things on or off especially WIND and play people who also like to use the things on.
Baseball is not to be played without half these things removed or hurry up games.
Thanks,
H.B.

It is very frustrating when other games like madden and college football can be as accurate and realistic as possible but mlb the show regresses. With the technology this day and age i cant imagine it is very hard to update a player or another aspect of the game that is incorrect. It seems like you want to take aware from the online gamers experience rather than make it the absolute best it can be. Like we are in an actual mlb game or stadium. Why do other games have such emersive online leagues and mlb the show acts as if they don't even want it on the game. League managers should have commisioner tools to adjust the game to the leagues specifications. I love mlb the show but you have really dropped the ball as it pertains to online leagues/franchise.

I agree with you both, I don't understand why those things such as the wind, batter step out, batter practice swing at the plate can't be optional for custom league

As far as weather goes you have to be vocal and hope you’re in the majority. Madden has removed and put it back a couple times. This game removed it from franchise and put it back in so there is a chance if you are in the majority who want weather back it’ll be back. It’s crazy for an outdoor sport to have zero weather.

While there at it or at least looking into whatever the secondary posiitons really need to be added hell give the commissioners a button to edit positions in custom leagues and problem is solved.
