Do you think this game plays so bad because it's on too many platforms?
-
I stopped playing in May/June and come by every now and then when I get the bug. Almost bought a XBOX to play, but can't bring myself to suffer again.
Just curious if you thought it would play better without playstation, xbox and Nintendo all on the same servers or whatever. Crossplay caused nothing but problems for me.
I don't think disconnects and server issues were ever this bad this late in the year.

You can turn crossplay off.... That being said it seems that gameplay has been in a steady decline for a while now and introducing a whole audience to it here hasn't helped.

I stopped drinking 2 years ago. Now I just grab a few beers on my home when I’m thirsty a few times a week.

I’d say it’s the below average even on their best day dev team.

No, the problem isnt too many systems. Its the gaming engine. It needed to be replaced awhile ago. Only so much ya can do

Unfortunately, I feel like too much emphasis is placed on the meta data. I also think that the data isn't being analyzed properly.
Data is not merely cumulative.
When are people playing during the day? What platform? What "program"? What difficulty? What stadium?
Each year, SDS at the end of cycle, share raw data numbers like "Players have hit 156,485 HR with Griffey", and "The most used ballpark is Camden"
There are tons of variables and I think they because they've tweaked stuff too much mid flight in the past, they've not adjusted anything publicly this year except behind the scenes sliders for certain events and moments.
Thus "working as intended".

100% correct. I'd love to see if SDS is analyzing anything "deeper" as you said. I'm sure they're not analyzing such things as:
- How many controllers did you break in 22 vs 21? (For me, more).
- How would your spouse/significant other say your mood has been this year vs. last? (For me, worse. But that could also be because my daughter is dating a guy that I don't like... AT ALL... and they seem to be getting more serious. But I digress...)
I'd love for SDS to reach out to the most logical and interesting people on this forum and have a "town hall". I've seen tons of great ideas out there (i.e. @SchnauzerFace_MLBTS 's "Heroes vs. Villians"). There are a lot of us who really care and want to make MLBTS even better. We want to help.

TBH, it's a great idea.
One person from SDS and a bunch of folks from here. I can sponsor the zoom meeting. I have a pro account so no need for a 40 minute time limit.

Is it known if next year’s game will be made for the PS4, or are they going to move to just PS5 (just regarding PlayStation)?

I would expect a PS4 version until they stop selling the console. We're getting close.
We know they aren't making and marketing PS4, but you know what I mean.

Absolutely no way. Why? Not everyone has scored a PS5 yet. If anyone could walk into a store and buy one, maybe. Remember those days? When you went to Best Buy and the latest system was there to buy? I miss those days.

I’m with you, I miss those days myself. I am playing on a PS4 still and want to make sure I will be able to play next year’s game.
