SDS needs to cool the jets on “play how you want”
-
I hate CPU baserunners so much in moments. Let me control them.
Ive also been screwed by the official scorer a few times where i would have a double without a throw home but got denied
-
I can't stand on-line(multiplayer) modes and it's the same for offline players, they are trying to force everyone to play different modes. They neutered mini-seasons and made the rewards nothing compared to where they were last year. SDS tries to force the same experiencxe for everyone. They gutted franchise mode and now try and force everyone to play multiplayer. No thank you. Make all cards buyable I think would be the optimal solution. I actually really enjoy Conquest and Miniseason. And quite enjoy the moments a lot.

Uh...is this a 2025 thread?
Mini seasons are the best month 1 repeatable content in years, if not ever.

So you're an offline player who doesnt wanna play offline modes?
-
I think the bottom line is they want game players to engage in their existing game modes - which people don’t really want to do.
I mean conquest, while a cool idea is Risk, but shittier because the AI doesn’t engage you and it’s just a waste of your time to simulate games. Cool idea, crappy execution.
Diamond quest is a half-assed version of any rogue-like. Risk reward, except there’s not much reward. Good idea crappy execution.
WBC - who fans have been clamoring for - they have a huge roster of players and DD cards but for some reason they force non DD players to engage in WBC through DD and not in the game itself. Once again. Poor execution.
If I were MLB I’d pull Sony’s license because all in all it makes MLB look bad.
Which they already do well enough on their own.
-
Well, they don't say "play your own way... And get every card in the game". You can certainly get good enough cards to beat the CPU offline playing any mode.
-
Play your own way - in all of these game modes you loathe. So at the end of the day, why are there game modes that exist that people loathe and treat like a chore?
They should have maybe at Dev level maybe axed those modes, because they’re terrible 5 years ago and still terrible.
It’s like they’ve hung onto bad ideas so long they’re pot committed, sunken cost, for us -
Not them.Just to try to play a reasonable 9 inning game of baseball.
-

If you dont wanna play any of the modes in a baseball game, why are you here?
-
Spring Break: 16 cards to complete the set. Doing the program gets you 7, where's the other 9? Conquest...only Conquest, which has become one of the worst offline modes due to hitting nerfed to the point it's registered with the Geneva Convention as a torture device. When pitching AI batters endlessly foul balls off until your entire pitching staff is dead from exhaustion. I'd literally rather play online and hope I somehow find someone worse than me to play against or do 20 Father Son HR momemts than play another Conquest game again.

@precisionist99 play on AS, they can’t hit for [censored]
-
Because I like baseball same reason you’re here.
They just need to do a better job of making baseball, baseball.

If by best you mean not getting a championship bundle (x2), losing in the playoffs despite winning the game (x3) and I'm sure some other fckery then you're absolutely right lol

I keep reading about mini season being a hot mess. Seems like if you're fortunate enough to have it go smooth it's ok. If not though, is a frustrating waste of time.
I haven't yet tried myself (though I plan to start classic this weekend). But they really need to get it working correctly to be a viable repeatable content. -
@Precisionist99_XBL you notice everything is a pop up or fly ball in conquest. Unless you hit the ball absolutely perfectly and its still an out 50 percent of the time. Total joke waste of time for collection fodder [censored]
-
"play how you want" isn't a one size fits all. I'm lucky because I can play how I want. The way I want to play IS in the game. But there are plenty people who aren't so fortunate. Words do mean things. But Sony doesn't literally mean "play how you want". Its just the kind of figure of speech any company uses to move product.
-
@Easy_Duhz_it__MLBTS That’s kinda the point. They want to play the game, not 18 one at bat moments followed by 11 sub menus to get back into the next moment, then go raise an army for battle, conquer 37 territories infiltrate a stronghold, seize the land and plant your flag, dodge a mini bosses on a diamond quest map on the way to coach's cart for some boosts except you rolled a 1 and now have a negative boost for the final boss but you still win so now all you gotta do is buy the 6 cards you need to buy from the market just to get one collection part of 14 other collections for the final….first collection.
Yeah they cooked bro. Best content ever.
