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.

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.
Well said. Agree wholeheartedly with your whole assessment.

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.
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.

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.
I don't care either way about what you said, but please stop using the term gaslighting when you clearly don't know what it means.

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.
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

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..

Incorrect, that's called manipulation.
Gaslighting, who's origins come from the 1944 film titled Gaslight, is when someone has a specific experience, but someone else (the gaslighter) tells that person that they had the opposite experience.
In the context of this game, and example would be:
John: I just made perfect contact on a ball and it ended up going foul
Gaslighter: No you didn't, you swung early and you didn't even hit the ball. It was a swinging strike.
John: No, I specifically remember making contact and getting the Perfect/Perfect indicator, as well as the sound the game provides when such contact is made.
Gaslighter: I was standing right here, I watched you swing and miss.
Gaslighting is an abusive form of manipulation, and people in these types of relationships eventually start to believe that what they saw or experienced was not reality. They slowly begin to think they are crazy, and even when they are no longer in the abusive relationship, they question their own ability to see and understand reality.
But go off son, I'm sure advertising a game differently than your experience is almost the same

Dude, you're trying to pull one definition out of context and say..this is the only thing that gaslighting represents. I can do the same thing. But, gaslighting is synonymous with manipulation, conning, and deception.
Let's put it in simpler terms. Gaslighting is arguing and trying to beat your target down with whatever tactics you argue with to support the argument. Plain and simple. We're gaslighting each other at this very moment.

Also, since you're quoting Merriam-Webster or whatever internet source because you're not sure either...here are a couple Wiki dot points that indicate "gaslighting":
• Withholding information from the target;
• Countering information to fit the abuser's perspective;
• Discounting information;Sound familiar? When you got the mods out here (dressed up like civilians..ha) that deny everything a complainer says about the game is actually the games fault. Classic Gaslighting.
TBH, I don't think I've experienced any forum argument that didn't involve at least some key aspects of Gaslighting.

In the context of this forum and the gatekeepers:
OP - "last night in one of my games some very usual stuff happened that made no sense or fit with any reality, physics, or gameplay I've ever seen in an actual baseball game".
Gatekeeper 1 with burner profile - "You suck."
Gatekeeper 2 - "It has to be lag"
Gatekeeper 3 with burner profile - but perhaps the same person as Gatekeeper 1 - "It's because you need a new monitor the game is perfect"
Gatekeeper 4 - "Get Gud".
In every instance "attempting" to make the complainer believe they are wrong/insane/stupid/etc. Or worse, making them feel so bad about themselves they feel it necessary to buy a new monitor to "get gud".
My example is much better than yours because it happens on this forum all the time. I've never-ever noted the dialogue you mentioned even remotely connected to this game.
Even though you "said" yours was relevant to this game..it wasn't. Your dialogue was as if some batter was arguing with an umpire at a baseball game.
Gaslighter: I was standing right here, I watched you swing and miss.
C'mon..that can't happen in this game can it? Well, not unless one of those manipulating gatekeeper gaslighters happened to be standing right behind me in my house while I play a console game.

Gaslighter: I was standing right here, I watched you swing and miss.
Gaslighting is an abusive form of manipulation, and people in these types of relationships eventually start to believe that what they saw or experienced was not reality. They slowly begin to think they are crazy, and even when they are no longer in the abusive relationship, they question their own ability to see and understand reality.
But go off son, I'm sure advertising a game differently than your experience is almost the same
BTW, I actually saw the movie Gaslight long before I ever heard the term. You are plagiarizing stuff you Googled. Which is fine, most folks do..but at least throw a "Cite statement" out there when you're using some other sources facts.
It's a very over-used term..I'll give ya that. But, that doesn't mean it doesn't fit a whole lot of situations.
