I have had 8 walks in a conquest game and 5 many times. Most games are 1-3. This compared to previous years where I probably had less than 8 the entire game cycle. They are definitely throwing more balls on rookie & veteran. I agree that this is on purpose to slow us down. Conquest games are taking 5-10 minutes longer on average.

I don't understand how pointing out bugs in a video game qualifies as "conspiracies".

The pack luck is the worst it’s ever been I pulled 1 diamond so far in almost 200 packs
Mine has been pretty bad this year - one diamond from a standard pack so far, and I've opened 200+ so far.
The weird thing... I always have terrible luck with Headliners. This year, I've pulled Mickey 3 times, so go figure. I've also pulled Matt Waldron 3 times.

@go4stros25 Its not the pointing out bugs, its the stuff about how its being done on purpose to slow players down or whatever the conspiracy of the day is.

@DaboiNoah said in Bump This Thread if You're Disgusted with SDS:
the game should be in beta or tech testing right now instead of being released. its almost like they didn't even test the game, just put it on the market and hoped for the best.
We've been beta testing this game for years now. It's a carbon copy of last year, the year before, and the year before that. Other than changing the year, updating the roster, and changing the menu to the abomination that they are now, nearly nothing is different. There's really no justifiable excuse in my eyes for there to be this many bugs in the game. SDS spent more time figuring out how to get blood from a stone via monetization than improving the bugs that would have at least made this a finished product at release.

BUT THERE"S FLOWING HAIR!!!!

@go4stros25 the guy above him literally wrote “I agree this is being done on purpose to slow us down” it’s not pointing out bugs lol.
The only difference I notice between difficulties is how obvious the ball is outside. On the higher ones the pitch starts in the zone and trails out trying to get you to chase. Change ups land just under, sliders just inside. On rookie it’s a foot outside to make it obvious it’s a ball. It’s BY DESIGN to be easier to read, not because they are scared at the pace rookie players unlock free cards given out by the same Devs.

@Bearsfan217_XBL My game is the same as your game. Don’t swing at balls. Walks are just as good as hits. If @SuntLacrimae50_PSN thinks playing baseball is a “grind” maybe he doesn’t like baseball that much.

Again: the actual strategy guide in-game states that rookie hitting should see more strikes.
Again: almost zero middle-middle pitches on rookie.
Again: most at-bats start 3-0.
Again: people don't play on rookie to "play baseball" or work counts.
Again: the game is meant to be a grind. SDS actually uses that word.
Again: I don't swing at balls. I just want rookie to play like it's supposed to.

Some things never change bro.

@fubar2k7 you seriously bitching that there are different skill levels? Don't like rookie? Don't play on it. Gatekeeping mlb because people want to play on rookie isn't the flex you think it is.

Look man, it has already been acknowledged by your buddies at SDS that it is broken and they are "looking into it" so just stop already.

I have kept quiet on these debates so far but with the increased number I am seeing I feel I should finally put in my 2 cents worth.
First off there are a number of things I dislike about the game. mmonetization, forcing game modes ie showdown down my throat that I don't want to play, but I manage and suck it up.
What I real see though is this "cpu throws too may balls" [censored]. I call it [censored] because year after year everybody complains that this game is nothing but a homerun derby, that we need my ways to score runs, that the game needs to be more realistic. So what has sds done, they've tried to do that and now we are getting posts saying that I am not seeing meatball after meatball on rookie.
My experience so far playing on rookie through hof is that the cpu pitchers are throwing strikes /balls at a more realistic mlb rate. Have any of the people making these complaints ever played or watched a baseball game? The most elite pitchers in baseball have a 60/40 strike to ball ratio, which is pretty close to what I am seeing in this game. I am not hitting as many hrs, but I am scoring runs in more ways...singles, doubles, sackflies...I am find myself playing more realisticly then past years...stealing more, moving runners etc and in that regard I've had more fun this year.
I don't know, maybe growing up in the 80's and 90's when baseball was exciting as opposed to today where it's homerun or bust (Which I find boring btw) has skewed my opinion, but I am finding this year's game the most realistic we've had.
I know this will be an unpopular opinion and I know I will be called a suck up or sds simp, but I don't care, this is what I see and how I feel. As I said there's plenty of scummy things that sds does, but as far as game play, to me, that isn't the problem. Sorry for the long post, but I had to say my peace. Cheers.

People wanna be taken seriously but “HALF MY AT BATS START 3-0” is gunna put them in the “Demise” and “MinersvilleMafia” filter section at SDS. At least try to sound believable.

Pinpoint is broken. Please address.

My buddy bought this game for the first time, but already quit because he can't learn to hit when he never sees a strike.
-
Making cards only available to some is the worst decision ever...and shows a total lack of understanding of who your hard-core base is. You do realize that a lot of people play this game with the GOAL of acquiring EVERY card. Please tell me you realize that? Apparently not...because that incentive has already been removed...two weeks after release. Bad business.

@Akhenaten1313
#3: I was already accepting this fact for this year after collecting every card the past 3 years. If this is confirmed I will be checking out way earlier than ever before and only casually popping in. I know in the grand scheme of things I mean nothing to SDS but I can’t be the only one and feel this will kill off a lot of the hardcore players. This year’s game is off to a brutal start with glitches, lack of communication, and bad PR.

@go4stros25 you hit the nail on the head. I was going to write the same thing as you. This year game is a mess and I play this game year around. My girlfriend ask me has is the game this year and my response was ah just other dam game.

Just thought i would add my frustration to this thread.
I have been playing the Show since 2018 and never once come close to the daily XP limit, i started a mini seasons today and once i hit the playoffs i was told i had hit the XP limit. Seemed odd to me because i didn't think it was that much XP, turns out it was 15k XP which is the limit...... you can't even finish a mini seasons with that limit.
This is a absolute disaster of a game this year. Cards locked behind billboards, the cpu pitching problems, packs going for 40k etc, It's no wonder people are questioning leaving early if they havn't already.
