Refunding the game

@iRockNewbzz- don’t mind him, he’s got some issues lmao. But fun game go look at mlb the show viewership on twitch and YouTube then go compare it to another sports game. Been an MLB the show player since 2007 and the game is the in the worst place it’s ever been 2 weeks in.
Did you skip 2017 where the servers were offline for the first month of the year?

Modern gamers? Couldn’t release an unplayable game on Atari, Nintendo, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast etc . I can go on and on. Releasing broken games and fixing them later with an online patch is not only becoming common, it’s become the standard. No one buys a $70 record and half the songs are missing the vocals .

@SaveFarris thanks for making my point. It’s 2024.
-
I am going to expand on my last post a little ...
If there was just one error or so then I would be like ok that sucks and they will try and hot fix it etc but when the patch for the most part bricks the game then there is ZERO excuse for it. I have been complaining about the XP cap --- they were like how bout NO XP for you all now then when we get it fixed you will just be happy to play it and the 15k cap.

@Sarge1387 That part is correct, but for Switch users not even being able to access DD since Early Release, doesn't that prove the Product wasn't ready for release? It's not like they didn't know it wouldn't be a problem
-
I love going to a restaurant, paying for my meal, then getting the finished product weeks or months later.

Releasing broken games has been happening for decades now, its not remotely new.
And its almost always the publisher's fault
I suppose with this game its even trickier, because they have to answer to Sony and I assume MLB. they are forced into a release window
And being forced to make a multiplatform game hasn't helped either - what happened today is most likely a result of thatThat doesnt excuse this disaster though, this patch was spectacularly bad. Even so it will be fine in a day or two and life will go on.
What they should have done is made their case to Sony and MLB to not release a game this year, and rather update 23 while they worked on a next gen game for next year. One year cycles arent enough to get meaningful things done these days

I guess nowadays if you buy a $50,000 car and it drives out of the parking lot fine but all of a sudden the brake start squeaking, the oil starts leaking, the radio doesn't work, and the lights flicker, that I should just wait for the car company to call me back and let me know When they will be able to fix it because it was a known issue even when they sold the car to me. I'll just deal with it and be thankful that at least they acknowledged that my card does not work. Can't wait to take it back in and have the oil leak fixed Only to notice the air conditioner is broken.

@Teak2112 huge key point. I know people still play on old gen. I know money is hard to get sometimes. I don’t think SDS has the capability or staffing to be able to make a functioning game that’s basically the same for every console.
2k and madden both have separate markets etc with there games. If I upgrade from MUT ps4 to ps5, it’s a diff game.
If I upgrade 2k24 my team (I don’t play that casino) from ps4 to ps5, it’s a diff game. Same with park and my player.
With mlb the show the only different thing is created stadiums. Markets are all still the same. Game is the same. Etc.

You guys are in here comparing cars and eating at restaurants to video games smh
-
@bostondirtdog21 ironic the last car I bought randomly shrunk in size two weeks in.
-
@Sarge1387 so paying $100+ dollars for a game from a AAA studio and expecting it to work as advertised is too much to ask? Why do people keep making excuses for these studios that don’t give a [censored] about their player base.
-
@mookieparlaybetts my guy I just wanted to enjoy opening day while enjoying this game let us freaking complain. Lmao there’s other posts of non complainers if you don’t wanna join in with us. The thread had a pretty clear title. SMH.
-
Call me crazy but having entire game modes be unplayable, teams replaced with 50OVR dwarfs and game locking in an overnight patch meant to fix the Day-1 bugs that still aren't fixed, on the biggest day of the regular season, is not worth $150 to me
-
@KingJonEric just contacted Playstation directly, got a full refund for this absolute dogshit game!
-
Mookie and Sarge must be Brev or Ramone's besties
-
@EPaytonTX imma still wait it out because I’m not broke (not saying you are) but this is probably the last year I’m getting excited about this game and buying. I must just be old
-
@iRockNewbzz- I’m happy for people like Ashley and him for getting good jobs for themselves but that’s part of the reason why the games in the place it’s in, they have people on payroll, which is already a limited one, that like only have experience playing video games. Not coding and actual community managing skills.

@KingJonEric
Trust me I get it
I just think comparing going out to eat and receiving an uncooked meal isn’t in the same ballpark when it comes to computers/video games
It’s a false equivalency
But I also know complaining on a forum that sds is 100% not reading atm isn’t going to make them fix this any faster…
The game is really broken at this point and it’s gonna be hours if not a day before it’s fixed

I truly wish...because I'd be in his ear about changing alot of [censored] with this series. Not the least of which would be server stability
