MLB The Show Coming to PC
-
I have played about 200 ranked games this year. I faced one person who was 100% cheating and one person who was playing so far above his skill level I was pretty sure he was cheating

- Cheating will be rampant. Anytime a game goes onto PC the number of cheaters spikes dramatically. Just look at what is happening to 2K and Madden
- MLB The Show is a game that is heavily reliant on getting good frames per second. Console refresh rates are capped at 120 right now, while good monitors for PC can reach north of 240 fps. This difference would give people with $2000 PC builds at a huge advantage over console players. This would essentially make the game a competition over who has the best setup.
Easy solution. PC players can only play PC players and Console players can only play console players.

Bingo. Not every PC player will cheat, but 100% many cheaters will be PC players. Every game with open cross play can back that up too.
So the best idea is your solution, or at least provide the option for crossplay to be "console only". I'm all for more people getting into the game, that's nothing but good for the health of the game itself, but there definitely needs to be safeguards in place

@TheBigPapa55_PSN BigPapa just ignore the dude he’s a troll. SDS has shown a serious lack of knowing how to do anything to be frank. A broken game. A broken hitting engine. Cheap servers. Bad connections. Constant menu freeze ups you name it. Graphical issues and rendering even though the grass is copy and paste and nothing in the background moves lol could go on and on and anyone expect them to utilize a good anti cheat software is delusional. And quit telling people to touch grass. Some of us are business owners and have very good jobs yet still love and deserve to be able to play the way we want when we pay 70 bucks or however much for a game. And many of us aren’t even gamers. We are just huge baseball fans.

What’s funny is how people join peaceful discussions just to instigate, and then get offended personally when someone says something they don’t like. Bro smh -
Why exactly are PC players cheaters? As a long-time Madden modder, I believe modding makes the game better. Simple things like walk-up songs, custom graphics, and simple mods like weather generators, replacing Kaiju with an actual usable feature in stadium creator, maybe even bring in more classic stadiums. Having it on PC with a robust modding community will only help. I am a long-time MLB The Show player... I even played MVP Baseball, and the mods in that game were amazing. PC users deserve a good baseball game.

Not every PC player is a cheater, but most of the cheaters in open-crossplay games are PC players.

I'm 100% with you on this, FO4 was AMAZING on console after Bethesda finally allowed the mods to come to console, was so much fun.

@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL I'm not a troll dude. Yeah, I was a bit too aggressive in my responses. But at the end of the day, if I'm willing to pay $70 (more likely $100 because I know I'll get the deluxe edition) to be able to play the game, I have a right to play the game too. You're no better than I am. And I am no better than you are. I'm a PC gamer. I'm not a cheater. I'm sure there are plenty of people just like me out there that also want to play The Show. The only mod I can think of that I would want to add is to get my favorite player back, Joey Votto. And that wouldn't be a disadvantage to anyone since his cards have never really been any better than the cards you see on most people's God squads. And that would likely be an offline only mod anyway. I'm simply a baseball fan and someone who plays PC games honestly and fairly. I didn't spent a ridiculous amount on an extravagant setup. I bought a Rog Ally X. It's pretty amazing, but it's not something that would give me a competitive edge over console gamers. I understand your arguments, as well as the other console gamers' arguments on why you guys don't want the game to come to PC. I just disagree.

@WilliamMorris_MLBTS fair enough. So someone educate me if you don’t mind. Does PC mean you will play with a mouse and keyboard like any other PC game or will it enforce a remote ? I’m not at all a gamer so I truly don’t have a clue. I would imagine as long as we could turn off crossplay there wouldn’t be harm ?
-
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL I believe that would all depend on what kind of setups people have. I don't have a typical PC. The Rog Ally X is a handheld gaming PC. Think of the Nintendo Switch, but with a windows operating system. So I would be using a controller. As far as everyone else, it would be personal preference between keyboard/mouse and a controller. I think that is a pretty decent proposal there. I think if they could be strict about cross platform multiplayer, it could work. I wouldn't mind having to face just PC players if it meant that I also get to have the game. I think surely there has to be some middle ground that we all can come to in order to enjoy the same game.
It was a difficult decision for me to ditch consoles. I grew up a gamer and have had the original PlayStation, the PS2, the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, and finally the Xbox Series X. But greed is ultimately what has pushed me to PC. Requiring people to pay monthly fees to play games online is something I'm just not okay with anymore. And I bought the Rog Ally X so I can play it anywhere I want. I can take it to work and play it during lunch. I can travel with it and play it on the go. If I'm visiting family, I can take it with me and play without having to worry about transporting my whole setup. And PC has steam, which is an amazing storefront. They always have sales and everything is located in one place. So for me, it's the best of both worlds. It's more cost efficient and it's more convenient for my daily life.
