    All of my co-workers love and play sports games. None of them play this game. Why? It's too hard, for all of them.

    Has nobody been paying attention to other games like for example Street Fighter 6? Check out their online matchmaking and filtering opponents online, how come SDS can't do this? Incompetent developers with no intent to improve. But hey enjoy grinding the same old cards, again and again every year LMFAO.

    I would assume other games have their own community forums. This one is for MLB the Show

    On PlayStation charts -- MLB has not been a top 40 played game in multiple consecutive weeks. To put it in perspective, games like Sniper Elite 5 are listed as top 40...

    On Xbox charts -- MLB the Show 23 currently sits at 27 this past week and has been falling, but much of that is due to the fact that the game is free with Gamepass on Xbox so numbers will be inflated. This inflation is doubled down with a chart representing current player base -- MLB the Show 23 was the only game on this list of 100 to have the highest differentiation of hours played to player count ratio. This means that the small number of people who are still playing are logging long hours.

    The. Game. Is. Dying. We all know those two or three people that used to play it that don't anymore. Why? Because everyone is a 99, they force you to grind your life away, buying packs from the store is the most boring experience in any ultimate team style gamemode of any sports video game (I mean who from SDS thought it was a good idea to only allow you to pull CORE players in packs... what a snooze fest), and the game is filled with simply too much RNG that most of us in here chalk up to "baseball".

    When will the community actually hold the development team accountable? It's riddled with server issues, glitches, bugs, exploits. Since release, there hasn't been a single meaningful gameplay update AT ALL. It's been like this for years now and players are picking up on it. The ones who stay are complacent. We use excuses like "it's the only option, what other baseball game would we play". When people suggest posts like this, they get targeted with phrases like "must of lost today" instead of having an open HONEST dialogue with constructive criticism on how we can provide ways to improve the game through the power of the players.

    If not, enjoy making your snobby comments towards people who post in here that are passionate about playing the game at a high level. We're leaving... The game that is your "only option" will continue to bleed out of a player base until it looses enough money year over year to where that option is no longer available. The only ones left behind will be players who don't care for competitive online play, or offline players. I wish I was wrong.

    Yesterday you were whining because your opponent played the game too much. Today you're arguing that the game is dying and people aren't playing it.

    These are not mutually exclusive. Some people have concerning habits when they play this game. It’s also dying. To bring it full circle, the people pumping no life hours into the game are encouraging SDS to keep the garbage status quo it currently has/is.

    Facts, I’ve never seen a community defend a game so much as the people in here do. You’re right, they have to justify the insane hours and money put into it. Has to be the case, why else would people blindly support this product?

    Same. I have a ton of friends who play Madden, NBA2K and FIFA but only a couple who play MLBTS. Those who play the other sports game but not The Show all say it’s too hard. In fact, the word most of them use to describe it: “impossible.”
