Thank You SDS for changing my mind
-
Let’s be honest there is atleast handful in these forums alone that will complain about literally anything. Even if a new company takes over they will just slander them next.
-
So did nothing happen to YFK regarding the wbc glitch? He did a video absolutely blasting them AND had thousands of packs. If not him who did they punish or did they completely puss out? Or are they still working on it?
Would be so nice for a huge banhammer on all 3rd party devices. Would be a completely different game especially in the higher ranks.
-
The two things happening now that would have me considering not playing next year are.
-
Seemingly no repercussions yet for exploiters. It doesn't effect my play much, if any at all, but the signal it sends to those of us who follow the rules is that we will get the short end of the stick.
-
The top cards for my favorite team and how they are earned. It is just not fun or sustainable for me. I don't flip cards and I don't invest. I play more casually than many and my reasonable goal is to just collect the cards from my favorite team. I even expected and accepted that Pujols would be unattainable for me from the moment he was announced.
I appreciate that we are getting more Cardinal cards than last year but i'm tired of just needing to buy them outright.
OVR Player How Earned **99 Albert Pujols Collection** **97 Lance Berkman Chase Pack** **96 JJ Wetherholt Rising Rookies Pack** **96 Ted Simmons Chase Pack** 94 Matt Carpenter Program Reward **93 Bob Gibson Mural Pack** **93 JoJo Romero May Drop 5 Pack** **93 Terry Pendleton Vintage Pack** **92 Bryan Torres May Drop 4 Pack** **92 Jordan Walker April Drop 5 Pack** 92 Ozzie Smith Diamond Quest **92 Tyler O'Neill Vintage Pack** -

This one is actually bothering me. I feel like they are afraid to do anything becuase of YFK and his fanboys.

Its okay that the menus often lag because some people always complain.
Its okay that the communication around the exploit has been abysmal because some people always complain.
Its okay that bugs continue to linger year after year because some people always complain.This is the message some of you want to send to SDS? Really?

I think you are putting words in their mouth.
It's possible to say that "we get these same complaints/threats every year" without passively condoning any of those items.
I am one of the voices that say that they should ban the exploiters and I still will confirm that threats to quit the game over issues, whether big or small, happen every single year and that most don't follow up on them.

But there seems to be a denial that this year is different. At the very least its undeniable that this is the worst state the game has been in on a technical level (excluding launch months) in a very long time.
I do agree on the threats, and I call out the absurdness of GTA VI releasing in November having this huge impact in 2027.
I will say this: the last 6 weeks I have played The Show less than any 6 week period that I can recall, except for maybe late December/January. I will 100% not preorder the game next year. However, if there is a baseball season it is still probable I get the game because I'm sure they will adjust for next year.
I would love to see their internal metrics about player engagement for this year though.

Is it really absurd? If you don't spend money, flip, elite or have great pack luck, MLB has turned into a game where you have to play a ridiculous amount of time to keep up. At one point I was averaging 3 hours a day and did not have Miggy or LS done and being Ohtani was around 750k wasn't even really close to either. Say you get GTA and really like it and only have a few hours to play each night. Why would you buy baseball knowing that the majority of good cards are unattainable especially if you are playing another game for several hours a day? They feel unattainable to me without trying to play another game. I think GTA taking away from baseball is a really viable threat especially with the glitchers, cheaters, pci shrinkage, cost of some LS cards, collection requirements, etc.

If people were really quitting, they’d have already done it.
Every single person who is continuously complaining will be back here next year complaining again. I’ve seen it for as long as these forums have existed.
They are worse than the game itself, if you want my opinion. Go through any post on this forum asking a seemingly trivial question, or looking for advice, or honestly even pointing out an annoying bug/feature. You’re likely to find three or four posts into it someone crabbing again about something not even related to the original topic. It’s obnoxious.
Give it a rest. If the game makes you that mad, demand a refund, don’t buy it next year, and leave the forums. Everyone will be better off for it.

This has been said about every game that’s been released over the past five years. The Show still goes on.

For me, I’m keeping an eye on how SDS handles the “exploiters” FIRST. All other game play issues are secondary to me. The “exploiters” issue calls into question big picture issues (like game and company integrity). And if not handle sufficiently, SDS may become a company I choose not to support.
Having said that, there are other glaring issues with the game this year. IMO, it’s in the worst shape technically and gameplay-wise since I’ve been playing. By far….
Ban the “exploiters” for the rest of the year. Then, start attacking the other stuff. Priorities.

I agree with this. If nothing noticeable is done either to, or as a result of, the exploiters, that would be a huge negative. I actually could see people leaving the game because of that.

You can't compare games that come out every year like Madden, COD, etc to a game as big as GTA that hasn't had a release in what a decade.
I guess they can continue down this route of cheaters, glitchers, heading into Madden card territory and game bugs that take away from the game. I don't think this ends well for SDS. Might be a year, maybe 10 but it will catch up to them. Marketing team going to need to be on overdrive. Yea, the one that said PCI shrinkage was fixed.

I call all of those people hypocrites, yet they cry like the chuds they are, and say "I wIlL nEvEr ReTuRn To mLb ThE sHoW aGaIn". But when the season gets canceled in 2027, they'll come crying back on the forums because they don't have baseball that year.

I'm already playing tear-off the kingdom way more than mlb 26. I don't even fret whether I get a game in every day, I don't grind to finish inning program. It all points to a negative sign. And not constant server issues. Without a doubt ita my last version.....I can enjoy retro games way more. Now atleast I see why there exists only one team affinity....to sells stubs to purchase all collections.. .just isn't worth it anymore

FYI: Since I believe someone at SDS reads these threads, I wanted to express my thoughts. That is why I started this thread. I am not upset or angry about the game. I am very disappointed that SDS believes that the game is in an acceptable state at this time. If you feel that this game is playing at an acceptable level for you, I am happy for you. And to those of thinking I will be back, I won't, unless it is gifted to me by SDS or someonelse. I have limited money and time and would prefer spending my time and money on something that brings me more joy and happiness. Wishing you all nothing but wonderful experiences playing the game.
