Annual Review – MLB The Show
-
@bjd10048_MLBTS the player base has gotten too good, because there are not enough online rewards. When the best online rewards are flawless br, and ws ranked and basically nothing else besides the multi player program that everyone finishes in less than a week. You are only going to get the sweats aka good players jumping online. This is absolutely were they went wrong. Bring back online rewards. Years past everyone would jump online because they had stat progression rewards online. You could jump into br and get rewarded even if you sucked, same with events, same with ranked. These people over at sds are not the greatest thinkers. Makes me wonder if they got rid of the good staff a few years ago.

I get that the whole BR flawless rewards was meant to be the one shining reward for the best players. But, everyone else needs a reason to play too. I don't know why they're so resistant to giving a reward path that gives you a reason to keep playing BR. I don't love the programs and multiplayer program being so quick - like, the whole point is to have something to grind on...at least put a wheel spin at the end?

@AppleLemon560_MLBTS they had all this just two years ago!! Br rewards, event rewards, ranked rewards to grind for. Now its just sweat to win or you get no rewards. Do something to get more players going online!! Wheel spin at the end would be a start.

Some games turn into a fly-out simulator no matter how good your contact is.
Pitcher confidence continues to be a major flaw.
This is so true and correct. Best and most accurate part of your review. Pitcher confidence needs to be eliminated. It makes Diamond quest and other modes so unplayable and online to the nth degree.
Pitcher confidence seems to make the ball be made of what’s a shot-put made of - lead or some super heavy thing
Then on the opposite side of the coin if your pitcher has low confidence your outfield and position players just seem to make errors out of nowhere and they’d be diamonds it doesn’t matter. It’s almost as if pitcher confidence is the most important stat

pitcher confidence and energy is why every game begins with four innings where I feel like I'm playing pretty well, and I'm getting nothing....I'm behind 2-1 or 1-0....and I have to wait until the 6th inning when I finally put an inning together against a pitcher who has lost confidence (and most players don't know when to pull a pitcher)....and suddenly three home runs.

Yep

Such a dumb mechanic in the game. I just have such fatigue from the same ol’ faults in the gameplay.

I just hate that we have to work around everything. We’ve played long enough to learn how to play around it - instead of them maybe fixing it

Servers are down lol. New grade: F

I remember when you used to be able to get almost every reward through stat progression. You could either do them in ranked, or offline with essentially a 25%-50% “up charge”(needed that many more of the required stats).
That of course was back when you could play the “Yetis”- who were essentially a grind team. Why they did away with that I’ll never know.

@Sarge1387_PSN preaching to the choir man. No clue why they took away all the online grinding rewards. Plain stupidity by their new staff at sds.
