Just deleted the game

@Apolloz_99_MLBTS Why does it bother you? let him give a reason. You never know what someone is going through.

If you take a little break and try to not take it so seriously it’s more fun. Even sticking to offline for a bit helps. I do that when I get into funks or if life is stressing me out.
-
The thing is, people really loved this once great game and don't want to walk away without pouring out their heart, kicking and screaming on their way out. Let them let it out. Look at the Giannis situation, with him leaving the Bucks. He wanted to be traded away, but it sure hurts him to actually be leaving now, so he will pen a thank you note to the fans, maybe explaining why he wanted to leave and that he's sorry that it came down to this.

I'm very close to that point as well. More to the game being collection heavy, very laggy menus, massive server issues that are kinda unacceptable by this point. But most importantly, the game just isn't as fun as it use to be. Just isn't as enjoyable. I don't feel the need to play it as much. I almost got 400 hours in right now. In past versions by this point I would have 600-700 hours in. I'd get a few hours in after and before work in past versions, this year I'm okay with not playing for a day or two. I have another game to turn too if I get pissed about the game or the server problems. Plus I'm sure how bad it plays on the switch this year plays a role as well. I think they really dropped the ball this year.. not sure if it was the added additions of bear downs or whatever...just a down year for the game this year in my opinion.

@Player99_MLBTS There's always one guy who wants to be a douche for no particular reason.
Be better.
-
@NotesOfJohn_PSN No but seriously. This game won't change at all if this guy leaves.
OP is trying to make his departure feel sad and sorrowful, even though barely anybody who has been on the forums knows this guy.

I can assure you that good companies value feedback as to why a consumer quits their product. I’ve banged the drum for more early legends and was happy with the new ones for this year, but they’ve been abandoned since launch. Many are frustrated with glitches and the pack scandal without much communication. So, you can debate the level this company evaluates things, but, in my opinion, having the feedback is indeed beneficial and hopefully forces improvement in those areas.
-
@Dolenz_PSN this type of post will always get comments. Because there is no reason for it. This video game shouldn’t be affecting your real life to point you have to quit. If they do have something going on in their lives I'm sorry.
-
@Ditka06-_MLBTS he gave the reason as this game was making him so mad it was affecting his personal life. Which it’s a video game, it shouldn’t be affecting your personal life no matter how much you love the game. We already get so many forums that are just not useful or important.
-
@Apolloz_99_MLBTS maybe he is going through some things. And this game was helping him escape reality and gave him some joy, until it no longer did. I dont really mind this post. Or it became bad enough for him to delete it. So why not give the feedback.

But if the game really is affecting his personal life, venting here may be what he needs. I try not to judge anything psychological as I have / have seen my fair share of “this shouldn’t be doing this to me” type of stuff. So while announcing the departure may appear odd on the surface - if you unpack it a little, maybe it’s just what the OP needed.

I think the OP gave a very clear reason folks! There is no need to ask for further clarification. What SDS needs to comprehend here is that this is a video game. It's entire purpose is to give people an option to convert some of their free time into something we call "fun." You know, when you do something that gives you enjoyment!
The problem has been given to SDS in feedback by many people over many years. Over time, the game has become more and more of a grind and less fun. It seems each year the game code is written to ratchet up the amount of time and effort needed to attain the rewards that many customers consider essential to have fun playing.
Certainly, disconnects during games are a bad outcome. Once in a while isn't a big deal. But, repeatedly happening most certainly is a big deal.
-
All of that is absolutely true. It is predatory by nature and designed to create FOMO in players and get them to breakdown and speed up the process by spending money on stubs. I think it’s pretty universal that the game has become progressively less fun and less rewarding year after year.
-
@OGSQuarEsOuP_XBL Honestly, i get your frustration! For balance purposes (wife and kids) i delete the game every couple of weeks just to balance things out, re-download thursday night, play the weekend getting ready for weekend classic crazy rewards, delete again by sunday night. For me personally, this game is addicting and deleting it (temporarily) helps me not have the pull to play constantly.
-
@OGSQuarEsOuP_XBL Vent away, man. That's what these forums are here for. At least you gave a reason.
Maybe take a break, play something else for a couple weeks. I haven't played a game game since...Saturday morning I think, and the event was an absolute gongshow(3 lost-connection losses, and one loss on a pitch that warped out over the middle). I've just been polishing my created stadiums et al. It helps.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Fortnite ruined casual gaming. Fortnite created “sweating” and dedicating ur life to games it made it “cool” to no life games. I mean covid didn’t help either but what game was huge during covid.

Dont blame you. Im still playing but my friends have all left. I myself have been checking out more and more. Right now for example, theres no event, ive finished the inning program, ive finished the multilayer program, ive made WS. So whats the point?

Yeo, that's the heart of the problem -- failure by video game companies to distinguish "casual" gaming from "semi-professional" gaming. I use the term "semi-professional" because such people are never going to make a sustainable career out of it, nor should they try to. But, these people still spend an excessive amount of time.
I mean, I'm retired and have loads of free time, but I still only spend an hour or so a day playing video games. The rest of my time I spend doing research, study, yard work, and other such personal development. The issue is that these semi-pros are constantly writing feedback that the game is too easy, and the studios start paying way too much attention to them.
The casual gamers don't have the time to press these companies. They just find the new games frustrating and turn them off and walk away. I really think things with sports video games need to get back to what fueled them successfully for decades -- playing the actual game and stop trying to placate the hard core few to the detriment of the casual many.

Well, I got the game on Xbox as an experiment. Way smoother and pitching is much easier on the gamesir g7 se but my pci placement is way worse than ps5. Been messing with that to try to find better pci placement with that controller.
Also still trying to find out why my all star pitch speeds are way faster than streamers legend speeds. After playing on both machines, the fast fiber internet is the only variable I can think of.
-
As I said before I am fine with people quitting and giving their reasons for doing so but the OP was disingenuous and has caused this back and forth for nothing.
They have already played 5 games this morning, including a questionable looking game where the final score was 31-30 after only 3 innings.
