MLB The Show Coming to PC
-
Game modding, hacks, and the amount of glitches by adding yet ANOTHER console to the lineup when SDS can barely keep their head above water as it is right now is just dumb. No offense, but whoever is making this decision needs to get FIRED. This will make money in the short term by adding a whole other community, but after the first rendition, the game will die due to the aforementioned reasons.

I actually see people on Reddit cheering for this. Oh brother, how naive. Little do they know… -
Sony will do what Sony wants to do, and I believe it would be a Sony decision and not necessarily SDS. If the show 27 or later is on PC then I will evaluate it then.
Maybe it's my age but I see no value in working myself up over something I have no control over that may or may not come to pass. Game projects and plans get changed almost daily these days.

I am glad it will be on PC so we can hack moments by turning the CPU dives, leaping catches, and dotting ability to zero.(Vs CPU games as well)
-
The only good thing that would come out of having a PC version would be the modding that would happen with the Stadium Creator...although I'm sure that would likely be patched way before anything else because SDS hates being outdone.
Look, not all PC players are cheaters...but there will be a massive influx of cheating that would accompany the PC release
-
If they bring it to pc, better not allow console players to play pc players or I'll quit
-
This will be fun especially since SDS has shown that they will not take action against those that cheat (see this Lagrasa mess). The cheating and modding of the game beyond what SDS can prevent is going to get crazy!
-
Yikes. A whole lot of fear mongering and gatekeeping going on in this thread. I hope they do bring the game to PC. Just about every other sports game is on PC. NBA 2K, Madden, etc. None of those are dead yet and they are on PC. Let people enjoy things and kick rocks.

The problem with that is people enjoying the game on PC means people cheating in the game. Also, do you really think EA or 2K is doing what is best for the game? If you think SDS is bad, boy do I have news for you -
@Talkingben9558_XBL Boo hoo. People have been cheating in video games ever since the beginning of video games. Alienating a whole section of players because of the minority cheaters is not the answer. Look how many online games are on PC. Are we going to whine and cry about every online game on PC?
People drive their vehicles recklessly and cause accidents. Does that mean we should restrict access to vehicles to only those people who we deem worthy of driving? Who are you to make that determination? What gives you the right to take something away from a whole class of people? This is such a basic concept that you people can't seem to understand. Crying about people cheating in a video game is pointless. -
@WilliamMorris_MLBTS
There are hardly any cheaters in MLB The Show (maybe 5 out of 1 million). The same went for 2K and Madden. Now, when they ported over to PC, the illicit activity grew tremendously. They're both pretty hard to compete now given all the stupidity going on. Come on, if the hitting servers are quite frankly this erratic and unrealistic, don't you think people will use exploits to bypass the random in-game logic? -
@TheBigPapa55_PSN Well, I'm glad you know everything and apparently know just how many people cheat in MLB The Show. People like you need to face the reality. Consoles are dying out. I just switched from Xbox to PC and I don't see myself looking back. You want to blame someone for the cheating and the porting of games to PC? Take a look at Xbox and PlayStation and the decisions they're making to alienate their player base. They're practically shoving people over to PC because of terrible business decisions and greed.
I don't know about you, but I don't have time to sit at home all day and play video games. And I'm [censored] sure not going to pay ridiculous monthly fees just to play games online.
Y'all conveniently forget that anti-cheating software exists. That's why games like COD and Battlefield have successful PC ports. MLB can easily implement said software.
And even if they don't, who really cares? Unless you get paid to sit and play MLB The Show for a living, it really doesn't have an impact on your life. Y'all want something to whine and cry about. You crave attention and want to feel special because MLB The Show is one of the last remaining console exclusive games. But the world isn't all about you.
Go outside and touch grass every once in a while. You'll quickly realize that there are far more important issues going on in the world than people cheating on an online game.
And maybe if MLB The Show were an online only game, I would take you people more seriously. But a lot of people like myself like to play The Show for the single player modes.
I don't know what to tell ya. The console wars are over and all of you clinging to your console exclusives are going to have to suck it up and get with the times. If a new Xbox even comes out, it's going to be a PC hybrid. And if you don't think PlayStation will follow, you're incredibly naive. Look at the decisions PlayStation is making now. They're following Xbox's lead. They are porting their exclusives to all platforms. How long do you think that's going to last before people realize they don't really need a PlayStation either? -
@WilliamMorris_MLBTS
What do you want a Nobel Prize just because you play on PC? Woopdidoo. No, I do not play video games all day. I only have time for probably only an hour or two during the week and a couple of hours on Saturday and Sunday. Touch grass? Is "school" a concept in your lexicon? No I do not crave attention. That's why I don't write long-[censored] essays getting turned up over someone's opinion. Sure, SDS could implement some sort of anti-cheat software, but, with SDS' long track record of blundering attempted innovation into long-lasting regression (take Stadium Creator or RTTS for example), we know it will not be very effective and will be easily exploitable. It's too early to say consoles are dying at the moment. The reason Microsoft and Sony port over their games to PC is to increase game population and sales, not to put their own consoles out of business. For a game like MLB The Show, this isn't the right move for the aforementioned reasons. -
Also, I would like to point out that if SDS still hasn’t implemented online franchise in what, ten years, I wouldn’t think that gives off “offline gameplay first.”
