But if I had cat feces in my taco I wouldn't sit there and eat it complaining after every bite about there being cat [censored] in my taco. Id go eat something else.
You would still be able to get a refund for the cat [censored] tacos tho… Wouldn’t be forced to pay 60 to put it as a screensaver on your phone to constantly remind you

I get it, it sucks but that's the risk when you buy a video game, sometimes they suck. Personally I'm having fun with the game but I understand people's frustration. Post a bad review or post some constructive criticism with specific areas you think should get better.Like I said if anyone wants to keep playing go ahead buy me personally if I am getting no enjoyment out of something I'm not gonna keep doing it just out of principle.
Wish I could say the same… looks amazing from the footage I’ve seen when it does run properly..

Personally I have about 3-4 other games to fall back on including the new D&D Dark Alliance game which drops tonight. If you're wanting to write out a report complaining about flaws that you think should be fixed that's fine but this is hardly the place to do it.
Pardon me? This is hardly the place to do it? So help me with where I should go. Maybe grab a sign and start a personal boycott out in front of the SDS HQ? Perhaps send a strong email to Sony?
Let me tell you something, this is the very place to get the word out. This is where the weary and downtrodden come to vent.

Yep..and you would expect Taco Bell to give you a refund. And, they likely would, because that would be so-so much cheaper than the lawsuit you could throw at them for deceptive practice, fraud, and, basically, selling you some bad $hit..of the feline variety.
So, what you do to get some satisfaction is vent-VEnt- and VENT even more. It's more healthy than trying to hold it in.
Plus, maybe, SDS will have the integrity and social conscience to address some of our gripes. But they can't address them if they don't know about them. Well, I'm sure they know about them, but if the customers ain't complaining..they don't care.

While there are definitely flaws that need to be addressed for me I feel if you aren't enjoying the game when you play then the simplest answer IS to stop playing. You're totally free to keep playing but if you don't enjoy it or have fun when playing it might do you some good to take another break from the game and play something you get some fun out of.
Can't argue that at all. At least you weren't one of them saying "do anything just don't complain on the forums". Because that's just "a clown statement, bro".

Not everyone is an idiot, I knew exactly what this burner account was the second it showed up. You’re the dude that went full bozo and begged the Devs to ban him after you dropped a bunch of N bombs lmao.
But for real what happened to the “Hey guys newbie here any tips for a straight newbie? I’m not the guy that dropped a bunch of N bombs yesterday just some newbie with a MLB the Show Name”?
Drop that knowledge though
And you are quite the detective. How do you manage all the investigative work and still play the game?
Except you're not really, cause I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
And, no, not everyone is an idiot..some are just boneheads.

I just want the [censored] to work man lol. I’m sure the devs know and are trying but I’m just at a loss..can’t get a refund cause it’s digital.. legit the first game I’ve bought since madden 20 came out.(aug 19’)…. Didn’t buy madden 21 and wasn’t planning on getting 22…. This was supposed to be the game I played after work for the next year at least and I’m at wits end after 2 days 🥲

I think the game works the way the developers intended. Gather terabytes worth of real life MLB animation. Attempt to wrap it around controller input in order to offer up a facsimile of real life MLB.
Problem is, the emphasis is on the animation..not the continuity of controller invoking the proper animation. I'm sure they would pull it off if they could..but they can't.
Which is fine, but where they cross the line is trying to market this false notion that the game is representative of real-life competition.
RS wins/losses are completely and totally at the mercy of the smoke-and-mirror resulting animation the game displays on your monitor.
Practice, strategy, cards are irrelevant. And that is a big bummer. But it's fun to watch the animation when it reflects positively for your team.

If that's directed towards me..I didn't directly/intentionally insult anyone.
Well, if I pointed out some flaw, naivety, or lack of perspective..that could be construed as an insult I suppose. If so, no apologies necessary.

I’m not gonna lie I feel like you’re a dev on a burner tryin to tell me yaal tried but it will never be able to run to those specs on current gen 🥲. I never could play MLB cause I always had Xbox growing up. Finally get the chance and now I can’t enjoy it the way I see YouTube videos of the smooth gameplay on next gen.( there’s side by side videos of next gen to current gen xbox frame rate drop to see what I mean.. but I’m sure you’ve peeped)… and even if I wanted to upgrade to next gen it’s impossible to get a console under 900…No refund on a game I bought 2 days ago.🥲No telling if the current gen will even be able to be patched.. 🥲..The harsh reality of the only fix being at least 500 dollars…
At

Loss

I take no issue with what you're saying though I think you're expecting more than this development team can give. However, I do think that the statement that cards are irrelevant is 100% false. If you really think they are then I would say you should build a team of commons and bronzes and go into ranked season, play 10 to 15 games and see how you do. Then turn around and use a team of all high level diamonds and do the same 10 to 15 games and see. I'm pretty sure you will do a hell of a lot better with diamonds than commons and bronzes.

OP your original post is both accurate and well said. The soundness of your follow up answers serve to add to the validity of what you suggest here. "Get Good" and "Don't like it, don't play" is a worn out lame cliche' that is as ignorant as it's mouthpieces at any and all sports video game forums. Thanks for the original post. As much fun as this game can be, it does have innumerable faults and weaknesses. "How many times have you read these words from some idiot on these forums? I don't know if those that repeat these pearls of wisdom are gatekeepers, SDS employees, trolls, or just simple-minded." TRUE

Lol investigate what? That your 26 day old MLB the show burner account with 2 career games played went from the most excited newbie ever who’s most liked post is about how thrilling conquest is to a guy that’s now back to calling out shills and fake account like he’s been here from 4 years and knows everything about the game?
This knowledge must be from those other games you play that have forums where that stuff happens right? Another genius comment, some people actually do READ the words on here instead of just looking at them.

Well said , one need only look at the automatic ground balls into a double play to see this theory made manifest. The game is bloated with pre loaded canned or locked animations which oft times determines outcomes to sequences during the game. Yours is an honest and accurate assessment.

I'm not contesting there is a difference, most of the time, between diamonds and bronze. Huge differentials there..and no doubt the gap will be somewhat noticeable.
I believe, though, the game is designed for certain players in your lineup to be successful and certain to not. And, I don't believe it puts too much emphasis on whether a 95 diamond with 115/100 against lefties is going to hit for you any better than the 87 Diamond 80/85 against lefties.
I'm sure if someone took the time to track it you could create some surprising stats. And, underscore the fact card ratings aren't as important as they are cracked up to be.
Play a game of RS sometime with all silvers..see how you do. No diamonds..just silvers. You'll likely have about the same success if you played with an all diamond team. At least that's been my experience.
Let's just say there is a point of diminishing return and the game is coded to lift a lower card-rated team.
