Realization the game is just BROKE... period!

@The_Joneser_PSN I stopped reading after you said our and others complaints aren’t “commonplace” on the forums. You clearly aren’t on the forums enough. Keep pumping ur chest and Breaking out those pushups in front of the mirror Poet Boy.
Additionally, most people probably set the game down or moved on to something else after suffering from these issues. I doubt the majority come to the forums. Hell, a lot of players don’t even have the app. -
@The_Joneser_PSN If all you saw from the start were warping pitches you wouldn't know any better. You would think that was the normal game play. Therefore, would likely not have a reason to post on reddit or a forum. If I grew up in an Amazon uncontacted tribe, I wouldn't know internet even existed. Does that mean it isn't there? The game works perfect for you. That's great! Congrats! Just because something works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone.
-
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL, your complaining far exceeds commonplace. You are a fountain of complaints, but the handful of you that splash and preen about in your own gush are far from representative.
And I'm not surprised that you stopped reading something that ran counter to your counterfeit advertence; I suspect that's how you go through life... there's not much growth when your goal is to simply reinforce your preconceived beliefs.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL, your logic is astoundingly bad. Let's step out of Plato's cave for a bit.
Anyone who has even the slightest conception of baseball knows that pitches don't "warp," and no one would think that was normal game play. And complaining online is an industry unto itself (see Yelp). The truth is actually the opposite of what you're clumsily trying to say.
Those without issue tend to stay silent and go about their lives. Those with gripes are overrepresented in every forum. And, yet, there are only a handful of people in a forum known for complaining who are complaining about warping pitches, endless freeze-offs, and unplayable offline lag.
What's the logical conclusion, there?
-
@The_Joneser_PSN You are absolutely right, I have no conception of baseball. lol. That's basically like saying a musician doesn't know how to tune his instrument.
-
@DemIsE4_XBL, your sad attempt at a logical argument:
If all you saw from the start were warping pitches you wouldn't know any better. You would think that was the normal game play.
My response:
Anyone who has even the slightest conception of baseball knows that pitches don't "warp," and no one would think that was normal game play.
Does that read like I was claiming that you, personally, have no conception of baseball? Perhaps your ability to understand written language is as bad as your logic.
Nice flex, though... I never would have guessed that you think so highly of yourself.

The game is very poorly rated this year
Is a game rated 9/10 by IGN and Forbes low rated to you?
-
@The_Joneser_PSN bro all you have to do is go and look at the thousands of Google reviews complaining about the same stuff. Its not just a few of us. You want to come on here and discredit what people are saying. Makes you look like a tool. Not everyone who complains comes onto these forums. Most people dont even know these forums exist.

@Ditka06_MLBTS
Google reviews only exist for places. Here are some reviews I found from respected outlets about the game:
https://www.metacritic.com/game/mlb-the-show-25/
https://www.forbes.com/sites/games/2025/03/19/mlb-the-show-25-review-the-pinnacle-of-the-series/
https://www.ign.com/articles/mlb-the-show-25-review
https://gamerant.com/mlb-the-show-25-review/
I didnt read any of these, they were the first results to come up, so not picking and choosing here -
@Ditka06_MLBTS, yeah... I should look at the "thousands of Google reviews complaining about the same stuff."
Of course, there are only 544 Google audience reviews (only 415 with any actual commentary that say anything at all), and a quick scroll through several revealed exactly zero mentions of the specific things I've pointed out as not being real issues.
Maybe if you weren't lying you could point some out.
Yes, when I read obvious [censored] I point it out. I'm sorry if that makes you feel "discredited," but perhaps you should feel that way when you're just making [censored] up and someone calls you on it.
-
@Talkingben9558_XBL you guys discredit content creators who play the game for a living yet bring up IGN reviews as a trustworthy source?
-
@The_Joneser_PSN why are you still trolling ? And maybe chill out on all that chat GPT for your responses sesquipedalian! And yes I know very well with your responses you know exactly what that word means.
Our complaints are valid from our side. We are looking for others with meaningful responses. At this point YOU are beating your head on that very wall you spoke of above.
Go be grandiloquent somewhere else big guy -
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL
Which content creator did I discredit? -
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL, tell me: why do dumb people insist on advertising it?
Though I’ll admit, unlike you, that I had to look that one up, I understand what it means when a word is an adjective, and I would have used it correctly.
Nice try, though.
-
@The_Joneser_PSN interesting… check out comma splice next guru.
At this point I’m just being rude so I’m going to stop flirting with you so this thread can be constructive once again.
-
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL, please do. Not a comma splice in there… not the most succinct or elegant sentence I’ve ever written, but it is grammatically sound.
Should I ask my question again?
-
@The_Joneser_PSN
Maybe you don’t play the game enough to clearly see what you claim doesn’t exist. It occurs quite often from the pitching side and the hitting side. It’s as clear as day. With that, you are wrong on two aspects - one for claiming an actual problem within the game doesn’t exist, and two for blatantly insulting others. Why? Maybe because you don’t like to be told you’re wrong. Whatever it is, you certainly can’t be insulting others’ logic. -
What logic?
-
@Talkingben9558_XBL
Idk he said something about logical conclusions. -
@TheBigPapa55_PSN, yeah… except I didn’t say the few, very specific things I commented on didn’t exist. I said that they did not happen to most people, that they seem more like odd behavior resulting from a connection issue, and that the connection issue may very well not be the fault of the game itself or it’s infrastructure. It all seems something unique to a smaller subset of users.
Flat out, I don’t really like that guy, and I don’t at all feel bad about trading insults with people who don’t treat others with any semblance of respect; if someone, or, in this case, a small handful of people, just constantly [censored] on everything and then get snippy with people who engage, I see no point in playing nice.
You might be a turn-the-other-cheek guy, and that’s great (though you did kind of jump in here with some edge, too), but I’m just tired of these guys saying the same [censored], lying when getting called on it, and then just coming back to say the same thing later.
That’s okay if you think that’s wrong. I’ll still sleep just fine.
