The constant negativity is ruining MLB The Show

Ok I’ve been wondering this FOREVER. It’s crazy the visual difference. I was watching DaddyDimmu last night for a bit, and watching the pitches come in when he was hitting…super slow. Yet me on allstar, I’m behind EVERYTHING because it gets on me stupidly quick

@Sarge1387_PSN maybe its just the way we see it after the recording. Looks slower after they record it. I dont know. But if im watching a recording I should be able to see it as if its in real time. The pitch speeds should look fast. I cant figure it out.

Just played some events on my wired fiber. Game is unplayable. Can't even see the ball. I'll have to dumb down my internet tomorrow and see if that works.

Can’t see the ball because of the speed or the background? May be the servers. I always play hardwired fiber but there are games where something feels off. I just always assume it’s my brain though

I just played an event game where, during extra innings, I had to activate the throwing meter three times before it gave me anything other than red (no green middle). Ended up giving up a run instead of an easy out that would've ended the inning. Is that connection based or did the game just glitch for whatever reason?

Just watched a streamer look absolutely clueless for 6 innings then just start magically raining perfects.
Then next game a guy super dotting all game (yea I highly suspect that pitching cheat) he scores 15 runs. I truly think this game is heavily infested with cheats.

I played D1 and minor league ball. There is zero reason I shouldn't see and read the ball. Again, could be my PS5 NIC as usually the same thing happens on 5G. I'm literally worried about buying a PS5 Pro and having the same issue. With trade-in that would be $700. Well worth it if it worked but I'm not convinced. I have literally tried everything else. If it is the servers or P2P connection, I don't think a Pro would matter. Had me baffled for years.

@DemIsE4_XBL is there a way you can test a new play station with the game before you have to buy it? Or maybe buy it and if its the same thing return it for a refund?
-
@DemIsE4_XBL ain’t there guys with real 99s that suck at the game?
-
@Ditka06-_MLBTS which of the employees who have to deal with the abuse on the forums or livestreams or on X do you reckon earns millions (or even comes close?)
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I second this

Not to keep pushing the same point, but I feel like today kind of proved what I was trying to say.
SDS announced they were going to take action on people who abused the exploit, and suddenly a lot of the same people who were saying “I don’t care if I get banned” started freaking out, arguing, and acting like SDS was somehow wrong for enforcing their own rules.
I ended up leaving a few Facebook groups because it was just nonstop fighting. People taking the moral high ground were getting attacked and called names. I even saw people making comments about family members from people’s profile pictures, which is just insane behavior over a video game.
Then on X, I’m seeing SDS employees getting trolled and harassed like they personally ruined someone’s life. And I’m seeing people try to defend what they did by comparing it to things that aren’t even the same as abusing an exploit or glitch.
That’s really the bigger point I was trying to make. Criticism is fine. Disagreeing with SDS is fine. Being frustrated with the game is fine. But the way parts of this community react to everything has gotten completely out of hand.
I don’t know if it’s just this community, gaming in general, social media, or the world right now, but it’s honestly pretty ugly to watch.
You can dislike a decision, dislike the game direction, or be mad about something without harassing employees, attacking other players, or acting like exploiting the game was some noble protest. It’s a baseball video game. Some people really need to take a step back.

(Probably taking us too far off topic…)
I think it’s the culture we live in…
Instead of “let’s just agree to disagree”, it’s now, “you disagree with me, you’re an idiot”!
And it comes from our leader(s)…..

Absolutely.

The "Never Defend, Always Attack" philosophy goes back a long way. One example dates back to the 50's and Scientology and it's founder L Ron Hubbard
"Never defend. Always attack." is a foundational public relations and operational doctrine established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It dictates that whenever the organization faces criticism or scrutiny, it should immediately go on the offensive rather than offering explanations or defending its actions.This doctrine traces back to the early 1950s and was codified in Hubbard's later directives. It operates on the premise that any defense is a sign of weakness, and the best way to handle critics—or "attackers"—is to discredit them
Don't be like Scientology

It's the world. When you let things go unchecked for so long they get out of hand.

Not gonna lie. There are a lot of dumb people.
Just like the cheating thing. There are a ton of cheaters in this game. Everyone gets caught up in the discord one but the huge majority are the pitching ones. There are tons of people that actually believe this game is pretty clean. It is far from it. If SDS actually banned everyone using these devices you would see an awful lot of 1000 rated players disappear including streamers if they actually did it. Do I think they will? No but I didn't think they would do anything against people that did the glitch either.

Why not speedrun that cult's headquarters in Los Angeles? Like those people on TikTok.

@capardo_XBL probably the best thing you ever said in here.
