This Game is Dying
-
I said the same thing in the other post a few weeks ago: the game is too hard for casuals, and that if they made it any harder they’d kill the game altogether. I have never suggested that they go back and make it easier again. In fact, I said that they shouldn’t do that.
Again, the difficulty of the gameplay is my opinion on why fewer people are playing. Some believe it to be the unending grinds, or the all 99s, or some other reason.
You don’t agree with me. Cool. Just say that.

I’ll converse with you without disrespecting. This is my opinion:
The game is simply too hard. Years ago the casual player could turn on a fastball, check swing on a breaking ball, and score some runs. But back then this forum was awash with people complaining about how their opponent scored a run when they shouldn’t have. “Skills don't matter” was the most common refrain.
Now you almost have to be a machine to hit well consistently, especially on HoF and Legend, but even AS is too hard for the casuals.
Back when it was easier, people wouldn’t admit when the easier gameplay allowed them to score—oh no. That was all skill. But when “Little Billy” scored because he checked his swing three times then hit a homer with less than perfect timing, the world was ending.
Say what you will about all that, but the game was more fun to play back then.
I don’t think they can go back now, though. The diehards have trained themselves to be better hitters. If they make it as easy to hit as it was in, say, 2016, everyone would seem like a goon, and the real goons would score 50 runs/game.
My view: SDS bowed to the hardcore crowd and sent the casual and somewhat dedicated MBLTS gamers to the showers. I don’t think it’s the all 99s that have turned people away. It’s having a lineup full of 99s and losing 1-0 that’s doing it.
Sorry that the game is too difficult for you now, maybe everything should be on rookie so everyone gets a reward. I’m in the midst of my worse season hitting like .250 you know what I’ve never thought during this? The game should be easier. It’s baseball, baseball is difficult.
You're exactly what the problem is in this community.
Because I want the game on the highest levels to be difficult? Why do you want everything handed to you?
No one wants the game to be easier, are you struggling with reading comprehension? My post mentioned absolutely nothing about how difficult the game is. One person replied giving their thoughts on why CASUAL GAMERS might be leaving the game because it can be too much of a learning curve/difficult. Do you get it now? My lord.
Maurice literally wants the game to be easier he’s been complaining about it for weeks, multiple posts about how the game is too difficult.
Honestly I think you should just quit and leave the forums it would be better for your mental health because right now.. wow..
We're trying to offer an open dialogue here -- you're attacking everyone posting and getting personal. Why? It's a conversation my dude. Take a deep breath and move on if you have nothing of value to contribute to the conversation.
Nah “my dude” the game isn’t dying. Every post from you is about how the game is terrible wah wah wah. Why don’t you go make another post about how you beat someone with lots of hours in and then attack everyone for telling you how stupid a post that was.
This game is dying. You are simply refusing to admit it. I brought stats. It's dying.
Ok cool it’s dying. Go play something else then.

I can guarantee if we had 18’s gameplay again you all would be screaming about how easy it is and how casuals are able to compete with you because of it.
Nobody wants that and you know it. Worst game ever released. Now if you talk about 16 or 17. Pitch speeds were the same for every level but the higher you got the PCI became smaller. (That's how I recall it anyway) If its like that I'm all in. Don't know why my history doesn't show much when I have played online every year but I sure played more online when the game was like that.

Not saying I can't hit now. Just liked those games better. I only really play Custom Leagues now on HOF.

We have someone in here saying all star is too difficult for casuals right now. So if we went to one pitch speed when all star pitch speeds in 23 are “too much” for casuals what is it going to be like if there’s universal pitch speeds?

I’ll converse with you without disrespecting. This is my opinion:
The game is simply too hard. Years ago the casual player could turn on a fastball, check swing on a breaking ball, and score some runs. But back then this forum was awash with people complaining about how their opponent scored a run when they shouldn’t have. “Skills don't matter” was the most common refrain.
Now you almost have to be a machine to hit well consistently, especially on HoF and Legend, but even AS is too hard for the casuals.
Back when it was easier, people wouldn’t admit when the easier gameplay allowed them to score—oh no. That was all skill. But when “Little Billy” scored because he checked his swing three times then hit a homer with less than perfect timing, the world was ending.
Say what you will about all that, but the game was more fun to play back then.
I don’t think they can go back now, though. The diehards have trained themselves to be better hitters. If they make it as easy to hit as it was in, say, 2016, everyone would seem like a goon, and the real goons would score 50 runs/game.
My view: SDS bowed to the hardcore crowd and sent the casual and somewhat dedicated MBLTS gamers to the showers. I don’t think it’s the all 99s that have turned people away. It’s having a lineup full of 99s and losing 1-0 that’s doing it.
Sorry that the game is too difficult for you now, maybe everything should be on rookie so everyone gets a reward. I’m in the midst of my worse season hitting like .250 you know what I’ve never thought during this? The game should be easier. It’s baseball, baseball is difficult.
You're exactly what the problem is in this community.
Because I want the game on the highest levels to be difficult? Why do you want everything handed to you?
No one wants the game to be easier, are you struggling with reading comprehension? My post mentioned absolutely nothing about how difficult the game is. One person replied giving their thoughts on why CASUAL GAMERS might be leaving the game because it can be too much of a learning curve/difficult. Do you get it now? My lord.
Maurice literally wants the game to be easier he’s been complaining about it for weeks, multiple posts about how the game is too difficult.
Honestly I think you should just quit and leave the forums it would be better for your mental health because right now.. wow..
We're trying to offer an open dialogue here -- you're attacking everyone posting and getting personal. Why? It's a conversation my dude. Take a deep breath and move on if you have nothing of value to contribute to the conversation.
Nah “my dude” the game isn’t dying. Every post from you is about how the game is terrible wah wah wah. Why don’t you go make another post about how you beat someone with lots of hours in and then attack everyone for telling you how stupid a post that was.
This game is dying. You are simply refusing to admit it. I brought stats. It's dying.
Ok cool it’s dying. Go play something else then.
I am, that's the problem.
That’s great! A nice W for the show, now if you’d just stop posting here, it would be perfect.Another player leaving the game... yeah, that's the answer!
You’re irrelevant, we all are. For every person that quits more pick it up. So do yourself a favour and leave
This is simply wrong. It's not nearly as even as you think. Stats show there are significantly more people leaving the player count than joining.
Again, it doesn’t matter. Even if 100 people leave to 10 that start playing that means they have 110 peoples money.
That's false. Gamepass is free to play which means most people playing the game aren't paying for it. MLB is losing money in the long run, I promise you.

How do you think gamepass works? Lol you think mlb gives away the game to gamepass for free?

They are given x amount from microsoft -- you think microsoft will continue to fund a dying game when the license expires?

I left a long time ago after seeing no gameplay improvements. I will never spend a single dime ever again on mlb the show.
Oof careful, some people around here will come for neck if you don't actually play the game but do post around here. Trust me I speak from experience.

What’s funny about what you say is that they were forced by MLB to put the game on Xbox and switch which in turn has tripled their revenue and you think they should be worried
