Game dying earlier than usual

RIP, MLB The Show '26.
We hardly knew ye.....https://youtu.be/kBR08xXPl-o?is=zfSzFaIGtRXcAcO- -
I think the reason most people have stopped watching the streamers is not because the game is dying. It's because that sort of streaming is dying. No one wants to be involved in that atmosphere. It's why It sucks that these forums are starting to delve into that feeling.
I agree with that. I was actually watching OhChev the one day, on a twitch drop weekend I think...and he absolutely blew up on people talking about the glitch in the chat and how people should be banned for it etc. Kinda put me off his stream tbh.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN post wasn’t even complaining. Just getting an everyone’s opinions out there for SDS to see. This year they had the momentum of WBC to help their sales but next with with a lockout coming and this year leaving a sour taste in peoples mouths next year they gonna have awful numbers unless they improve a lot. Also if game drops again in March GTA 6 will only be 3 months old and a ton of players will just keep playing that and not worry about mlb.

@Good-Talk-Bud_XBL if there is a game next a good portion of people will be back even if they say they won’t. All it every is yelling from the sidelines and not actually doing a [censored] thing
-
@Apolloz_99_MLBTS I mean that’s not exactly true or what I mean. Will there be a game released? Yes, will some people buy it? Yes. But if the numbers do really bad for the game Sony won’t be happy because mlb is usually one of their more consistent games year after year. Hopefully they don’t change anything for next years game and it does really bad sales wise and then SDS is forced to make some changes in their team
-
@Good-Talk-Bud_XBL I mean I guess if you change the meaning of the words you used then sure.
-
@Apolloz_99_MLBTS You're both right...there will be those that buy the game again after saying they won't and on the flip side of that, sales have been dwindling and trending downwards for the past three years.
I think SDS would be well served taking a year off, having a small team dedicated to tossing out new content every week for this iteration and coming back strong for '28. And maybe if they take a year off, another Publisher jumps in to fill the void for 27...and then we have competition again, and when that happens- we all win.
-
@Sarge1387_PSN your’re right but the risk of another publisher taking a stab at it is the exact reason SDS will do another game next year
-
@Good-Talk-Bud_XBL This barely scratched the surface on what’s driving people away. They largely gave us the same game with very little improvements. They lied about shrinkage. Can’t figure out how to get rid of cheaters. Bugs and glitches go unfixed, sometimes for multiple game cycles. Captains are worthless. Gameplay is worse. Content is awful. This game is circling the drain and people are leaving.

Haven't played in a week...just lost interest in this version due to all the shenanigans and tomfoolery.

The game literally doesn't even work most of the time for Diamond Dynasty. You cannot change lineups or it freezes. I cannot do storylines without it freezing.
Even when I want to give the game a chance, it tells me to screw off and do something else lol. I wanted to play on Sunday and I gave it like 2 or 3 restarts/reloads and just gave up.

@GoozeFn_PSN I know my intentions of the post was to bring things to their attention to improve on. Mostly so they can look back when next game releases and sales are awful lol
