Mad respect for the survey and followups
-
Someone somewhere is addressing our concerns that I’m sure we all hit them hard with in the survey.
It’s nice to see they’re actually doing things this fast.
A great sight indeed
-
Is this a joke or have they actually done something?
-
That’s what I am struggling to figure out. Is this verbal irony or something legit?
-
If you go to the app and read the notes on update 7 they address fixing the strike zone in DD, their current stance on shrinkage, and finally make a statement on fair play.
All reads well, the proof will be in gameplay.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL Reads well? You read their stance on PCI shrinkage and believe it reads well?
[censored], dude, I and many others read it and went 'ouch, these guys flat out lied to us'.
-
Yeah those update notes were a giant middle finger to the community. They don’t know how to fix shrinkage or cheating so we’re basically told just to deal with it and please don’t cheat. What an absolute joke. This game is dead in the water.
-
@NotesOfJohn_PSN yeah, as I stated above they talk a good talk. Sorry I triggered you with a more measured response. It was not my intention.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL this is my concern the talk has been talked but is the walk going to be a walked…
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN dude I swear sds could tell u grass is green and the days end in y and Christmas is on the 25th every year and u would complain… some of ur points are good others are a stretch.
-
I have to chuckle. I was shouted down over a complaint earlier this year and now people are losing their minds and if you aren’t losing your along with them you are part of the problem.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL I’m not happy about the state of the game I’m not “losing my mind tho” I’m just hoping it gets fixed u think I like playing cheaters u think I like loading into games ok legend on my Roku tv playing aginst people with devices while I’m trying to just survive and see the ball…
-
They aren’t a stretch if you pay attention. It’s a joke and they don’t follow thru that’s proven over and over again. Cheating, bots, and complacency have ruined the game. I know that hurts to hear as I’ve been a long time player myself and love baseball. When you invest as much time into a game as you have this year along with lucky pulls that have rewarded your time it’s very easy to look at SDS thru rose colored glasses. Many people are seeing thru the gaslighting and bold faced lying. It’s sad because it didn’t have to be this way.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN I mean that’s a fair point if I didn’t pull shohei I’d still be chasing Tulo.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN I was speaking in the macro, not in the micro. Never mentioned nor implied you. Someone else who responded here, yes. But never you.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN that’s straight facts. The solace I get is knowing that because of WBC and past years success this game did very well sales wise, but next year with a lockout looming and how poorly SDS has done this year sales will be significantly down. MLB the show is one of Sony’s steady franchises and when they have a down year next year I’m sure they’ll make changes aka people losing their jobs. The cheating, market bots, and heavy nerfs on investing have made this game a rough game so far. I doubt any real positive changes will be made from the survey either
-
@Good-Talk-Bud_XBL yes if they do not get a handle on this sales will absolutely be down next year big time. I wont rush to purchase and waste time playing a game filled with cheaters. No point.
-
fixing the strike zone in DD
To me this reads like they simply made the border thinner, as they said it was "purely visual"- hope I'm wrong.
their current stance on shrinkage
Kinda comes across like they're not 100% sure how to fix it, even though in a roundabout way it makes sense.
finally make a statement on fair play.
THIS is the one I'm interested in. Wondering how well their anti-cheat measures will work.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL I read that differently than you. I do like the visual change to the strike zone. Their explanation of shrinkage to me read like they’re liars and don’t know how to fix it mid cycle. Their paragraph on cheaters read like they don’t know how to stop it at a systemic level, so it’s on us to report them. That means cheating will remain rampant all year.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN yeah this is basically what I got out of it except the shrinkage think I don’t rly get it I get getting upset being told one thing and getting another but I rarely notice shrinkage in the run of a game I never go ahh if my pci didn’t shrink that’s a moonshot.
-
Seems like the strike zone change is purely visual - just a smaller box, right? its just so people can't complain about pitches that clip the box being called balls....doesn't make sense to me, real umps aren't perfect so why should they be in this game? Why dont we have ABS challenges? Strike zone should be a bit bigger, but this change doesn't do that
