It's honestly amazing how good this game is
-
Content is good, and they deserve praise for making it easy to build good/great teams without spending money on stubs.
Gameplay is not good. Played for 4 years now and it's never been close to good. The field plays so small that it's HRs or nothing.
This may be the best sports game on the market (haven't played any others for years) but that's more an indictment of other games than it is praise for The Show.

This game is horrendous. I’m sick of people sticking up for SDS. Content is the only thing that has saved this game since 19. SDS is producing [censored] just like EA, because they know there isn’t a better option.
Makes me laugh all the people who hate this game yet play it everyday (and complain and cry ) like clockwork at a certain point u might need therapy.

I love the two extremes on this site. It's the worst game ever and the greatest game ever at the same time!
It's not the worst or best. It's probably worth the price, but it's not a sports simulation. If your intent is to buy a game in order to "compete" with fellow human..this ain't it.
If you understand you're playing against AI even when you're "playing" against a human opponent..it's all good.

Game is in a really good spot. Patience and methodical gameplay is rewarded over hyper-aggressiveness. Strategy is a big factor in winning. The only thing i'd want changed is the effectiveness of that darn sinker. High sinkers are too effective in game and they wouldn't be IRL
High sinkers is your single hangup. And your name isn't Ramone?
That's another thing the gatekeepers (gaslighters) like to do. They'll focus on some silly trivial thing in the game that is so-so low on the totem poll..relatively speaking. And they'll just write post after post about it. Pinpoint is over-powered, sinkers suck, etc. Which, perhaps they are, but that's not even scratching the surface of the obvious AI interference to control outcomes.
Meanwhile, irritated folks drop posts in here about the overly manipulative AI and resulting horror stories and these same posters come to the defense of "da game" and blame it all on the terrible player, the monitor, or the lag.
It's a farce and I believe the gaslighters don't realize anyone with 2 brain-cells to rub together see through the scam. Follow the tons of profile and watch them contradict themselves all the time.
They'll answer replies from themselves as if they are a different profile..completely forgetting which profile they are currently using. That's just amateurish gaslighting (utilizing the power of numbers) to not keep track of your profile or the character that profile is supposed to adhere to.
They'll post stuff to bait people into giving up info about themselves. It's fun just to watch and sometimes play back. In fact, it's a lot of fun.
And that's fine. Everyone gonna post what they wanna post. Free country.

The graphics, the gameplay, different modes, the different moments, all of the legends, RTTS......this game seriously has it all. Never in all of my years did I think I'd see video games come this far, and this game is the best sports game out there at the moment by a country mile.
A major pat on the back to SDS for what they have done, I hope they continue this for years to come.
Agreed. There are things that need tweaking for sure, but in the absence of larger issues people blow up the small/mid sized issues.
The server issues were really bad, but been good since.

The community in April: Gameplay is great! If they could just fix the servers then this game would be perfect!
...SDS dramatically improves servers and other than a contact swing adjustment that most are fine with, makes zero changes to gameplay...
The community in July: Gameplay is trash! Fix your game!

It's like this every year and I 100% am convinced it's OP 90+ diamonds breaking the game engine.

See I play offline mostly to parallel players. I have 72 ranked games, have only completed one br program for story. This game is trash and I’m sorry you don’t think so. Those who think it’s good are the ones in the minority

Congrats if it’s so trash stop playing and move on . while u at it move on from this forum as well play and do something u find enjoyable I don’t be getting you this game is trash people

The content is far better than MyTeam or any EA sports card collection as the cards are not repetitive. SDS really tries to change the game a little by adding Pinpoint and create a stadium as well as the fielding indicator. But overall it's not great or bad but just another sports game, $60-$70 roster update as some people might say.
-
You guys that are on here praising the game need to give your head a shake. The content is pretty great. The idea of the game is also great.
The experience of playing the game is not great. It’s not a question of being burnt out on the game, unless you are talking about being burnt out on unsatisfying gameplay.

For me, the best part of the game is easily Moments, far and away the most fun to be had.
I only wish they would bring back Immortals instead of giving all these great cards away for practically nothing.
You said it! Amen! I just wish the moments never ended. They don’t challenge you enough.
Oh they will and it's coming. You must not have played Extreme yet. Careful what you ask for my friend, you just might get it!

Online rated on hof legend.is awesome for the most part. You get some clowns but Online ranked DD is a dumpster fire.

Where the Diamonds at Ramone? We don't need plush dolls. We are grown adults. We want them diamonds!

You must not have tried online DD yet...lol But I will agree the graphics and animations are unbeatable.
DD is the absolute best part of this game. Obviously there are tons of babies on here who cry everytime something doesn't go their way....but
amen pal preach it

Not that you know, because obviously you don't. Gaslighting is a pretty broad term.
Marketing built on deception and manipulation is gaslighting plain and simple. Just a couple examples of why it's extra relevent in this context.
The constant bullying of people out here that gripe about the phony AI controlled play. Especially when they lose, a whole army (one or two with multiple accounts representing SDS) will instantly start pointing out how it's the OP's fault - they suck, they aren't doing it right, blah-blah.
That's enuf..I got several, but that one single example is a classic sign of gaslighting. Don't say stupid stuff and folks won't have to shove it up your..

Well said. The "idea" of the game is a noble one..it's just doesn't translate when it's just another game where the code is controlling the outcome..not the humans operating the controllers.
