Worst L&F Drop Ever
-
@Dolenz_PSN hey, I'm not making fun of anyone for not "100 percenting" this game. Good for them - they probably did something way less maddening instead.
Im just saying the standard for what it means to "100 Percent" a game has gone WAY down.
Is that because, as you like to say, people complained or is it because SDS shortened programs so that they could put more of the cards in packs?
Some past programs were grindy for the sake of being grindy. I always have to point out the old POTM programs.

There has been absolutely NOTHING written in this thread that in any way justifies anyone insulting another. There are some people at this forum who need to grow up and accept being able to read things they may not agree with without coming across in a condescending tone.

Good grief.
This thread man, eek. -
My view on this is that SDS long ago sold their soul to morph a baseball video game into something, more like a virtual commodity trading site. The problem is that doing that has also changed the focus of a number of customers, from discussing the actual quality of the game itself in terms of how the game engine and graphics replicate the real game of baseball, and into the quality of virtual trinkets.
Concepts like improving how players look in the game, how the ball reacts to the grip, rotation, and velocity of the pitcher, and how the bat reacts to the ball -- those are the areas that need focus. This because SDS has fallen well short of where today's sports video games are at.
You play MLB The Show and the presentation is soulless. It rains in the game and all the players look like they are playing in sunshine. The field lacks all concept of being wet, no influence on the ball and certainly no rain effects like splashes, mud, or rooster tails. Other sports video games played outdoors? The rain impacts how the gameplay flows, you see rain caused effects, not only on physical appearances, but most critically on how objects interact.
So, with respect, when I see so many threads devoted to the quality of player cards, and see so few discussing the antiseptic nature of the actual game, it makes me sad.

Shoot man, until they update their engine entirely I don't want those things. Playing conquest on a base PS5 last night and I was still dealing with Logos not appearing on my shirt or hat, laggy or Framey control on the Metered pitching screen (the one that that absolutely needs to be smooth), and Slowdowns/lag while batting, most commonly after hitting a HR.
So don't improve the graphics unless they upgrade the entire engine to handle it better. Upgrading the graphics on the current engine is just begging for disaster.

The servers remain awful. Im playing Event games that feel like Legend, where really good players are striking out two out of every three at bats - because pitches teleport at light speed

Is that the issue? Because I’ve been having games where I legit can’t hit and feel like I can’t see the ball… then other games where I go crazy.

I’m too old to tell. I have all the good equipment and just track the ball and swing. But I can’t tell why / what’s going on in those games I stink in. Always think it’s my eyes or my brain.
