This is disappointing to hear that you've lost so much enjoyment from playing, and for the reasons why. It's extremely frustrating and disappointing to submit tickets to SDS, and they do nothing about them. I've had a similar experience. I can only imagine they are getting flooded with tickets and can't respond to them all. But still...make a game that doesn't have so many bugs, and you won't get complaints.
I think for me, the biggest ongoing disappointment has been losing the licenses to players like Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Ted Williams, some of the older classic all-time greats. In their place we're getting guys like Brian Roberts, Kevin Youkilis and Chase Utley. Yes, I know we have gotten Pedro and Randy and Clemente, and those aren't to be ignored. But I think on a macro level, the quality of legends has really gone down as a whole. I'm sorry, I just don't care about Grady Sizemore or Brian Wilson. Give me back Williams, Cobb, Hornsby. I want DiMaggio, Satchel Paige, Carlton Fisk, Yaz, not Vinny Castilla.
Never in my life did I think to myself "Man, I really wish Harold Baines was in this game," but...here we are.
Man, we agree 100%. I posted before the game launch that other than Randy, I would prefer to have Cobb, Hornsby, Williams, etc. back as opposed to the other guys they are replacing them with each year......I have to think they purposely let some of those licenses expire so they can promote them (as big names) a few years later as "new to the game". It gets hard to land super big names each year, especially if they won't consider the steroid era/cancel era type guys...
I would be really curious to understand how the licensing issue works with SDS and former players. I'd be surprised if they "let players go" just to bring them back in a few years to sell the game. Baseball is a 100-plus year-old sport with more great legends than you can possibly fit into the game, and legends that will drive sales. You can add at least 2 marquee names every year, without losing any of the major ones, and almost never run out ESPECIALLY now that the Negro Leagues are considered a major league. They literally have a whole new league of legends to procure.

I'm curious as well. I'm sure some players' name/likeness is expensive, and even though is a game, it's still a business with trade-offs. I also wonder if some players or their estates want their player to be more relevant in the game so they would be the best card, no debate, like Ted/JoeD folks saying give him more power or no agreement (cause we know you're gonna give Jeter diamond defense when you put him in the game so we know you can do it).

The Show is the only video game I tend to play due to my love of baseball.(I have a PS5 and have bought other games but they just sit there).
Same for me.
My experience this year has been sub-par, but nothing like this. Sorry man... you certainly don't deserve it.
