Thank You SDS for changing my mind

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.

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

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.
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.

Wow! I finish a mini-seasons championship and I can't put my winnings in the market to sell. What is the use of my limited time if I can't sell what I earned? I understand the reason, but I hope a better solution can be found soon.

What does this even mean? "I hope a solution can be found soon"? A solution to what? The card is a no sell reward. That's known from the beginning. Don't play the mode if you didn't want the card.

I could not even read this entire tread without needing to take multiple breaks and even now, I'll have to go back a few more times to finish up reading all comments. I just want to say...I'm glad to be a part of this community and I'm sorry to everyone that has reached their limits about being frustrated with MLB The Show. We all deserve to speak on the game. I enjoy it quite a bit and will continue to for as long as I enjoy baseball. The negatives that many speak of are unfortunate and for me...since I am a franchise guy...I see passed many of them based on the universe(s) I've created. The positives of me having so much control with what I do during franchise mode or diamond dynasty excite me every day I wake up. Call it pathetic or not but I'm 41, a massive sports fan and sports gaming fan. MLB The Show is still a powerful gaming title that can be even better with some of these negatives, voiced by the community, being addressed now vs. later.
-
I really hope SDS and all other creators of MLB The Show can come together and make things right. I'm not just talking about throwing content at us. I'm talking about addressing patches and updates that pin point on community outrage. I know you guys got this...Show the world why 2K is always on top.

@JDHalfrack_PSN
I was referring to the 10 pack bundle that the championship gives you. I got through the 3rd pack and I was no longer able to sell the rest of the bundle due to being put on a restricted timeout. If a person can not put his 10 pack bundle on the market before being timed out I view that as an issue that needs to be reslived.Sorry for not explaining it more throughly.

Played every year. Thousands of hours. Every. Year.
This year is it. (Unless we see what we need to.)
Ggs.

@HaveS0ul_XBL You will still come back crying next year

I guess you didn't read or understand the context of the thread. I am not upset, angry, or any other negative context. I believe that the steps SDS has done has created an environment where players who want to play the game their way and sell the cards when sellable can not occur in a timely efficient manner. Since you don't know me, the assurance that you give that I will be back is so far beyond fact it is laughable. The only reason I am currently playing is I want to get value for the money I spent buying the game. Good luck playing this year. Wishing you the best of luck.

Uh... when did I ever say that?
