June countdown yikes

@Pergo_MLBTS some people expect to turn the game on a couple nights per week, complete whatever program or conquest is new, and get enough xp to finish the entire inning program. They expect everything to be earned thru cpu bashing on rookie.
I get it–they dont want to play online, but if sds structured the game that way than the larger community of online players would leave. Its a numbers thing.
I think they shorted both the online and offline community this year, and people are mad about that.
-
@rubicante23_PSN people are scared of losing. Its just a game, win or lose it had zero influence on your real life; and if it does, you need help.
It's not that at all.
All I do is hear online players complain anout online play.
- Cheaters
- Dashboarders
- Match ups against superior players
- Disconnects
- Complaints about some magic logic keeping bad players in the game
- Complaints about good contact not being rewarded and bad contact getting hits.
- Etc
As a general rule I would say when it comes to actual gameplay we offline players are more content and happy than most online gamers.
-
@T4RbRuSh_XBL do you expect ads to make content for players who arent paying for ps plus?
The t mobile thing sucks, but change internet providers. I change every couple years for the rates.

They already know that they have driven away casuals and don't care as it is the online players that spend money on microtransactions. This is the new playbook for gaming and especially for modes like DD.
You may well be right and if so, then it's the stupidest playbook in the history of the video game industry. Casuals outnumber hard core players by a large margin. This accounts for why the sales figures for MLB The Show have ebbed consistently over the last several years and I'm sure it has dropped further for MLB 26 compared to 25.
It's also entirely possible to have ones cake and eat it too. A company can play to the hard core online crowd and still avoid offending the casual gamers, if the game title is properly written.

I choose not to pay for PS+ to play the only game I play online, because
- Online play has been broken for years
- The are many Toxic Players online
- Cheating and Dashboarding
- Constant Pausing.
- Glitched players
- Little attempts to fix the bugs and issues
- Horrible Servers
- Its generally not fun
So, I guess if I had known that offline players would be required to play online as well to complete programs when buying the game, maybe i'd feel differently. But lets be honest. This game has been going down the tubes since MLBtheShow 23 (the last decent games), and I've always given SDS and the LC team the benefit of the doubt. After this kick in the teeth, no more.

I dont think anyone was complaining in 23-24 when the xp path was pretty easy to complete through fairly casual gameplay

@Go4stros25_MLBTS good for you. Some people don’t have that option. You know, maybe some people splurge for one new game a year, saving up, and The Show was it. Maybe they can’t afford PS+. In your argument, they should be punished for being poorer than you. Or by not having as many options for internet provider as you.
-
@Dolenz_PSN im mostly an offline player, everything you listed DOES suck, but theres still fun to be had online.
This thread is full of people who are mad that they are being asked to play online. The show has always been an online game.
-
@skywalker_25_PSN the online crowd hates having the spend hours on hours playing conquest, or days playing miniseasons. To be clear, everyone CAN complete this content, they just dont WANT to play online.
I also find it ironic that the person who posts the most complaint threads on the forum, many about online gameplay, is now trying to shame other players who choose not to dive into that game mode.
-
@Dolenz_PSN im not trying to shame anybody. Stop being so defensive.

See, I would say that accusing them all of being afraid of losing is trying to shame them.
That's just my take though.

ALL OF THIS. All I hear is complaints about the online play, why would I want to play it? Plus, I feel like making more people play online is only going to make things worse for gameplay if the servers already can't handle it.
Why can't SDS do something along the lines of making it so if you play offline line you need to get 4 or 5 times the amount of stats as an online player? That way the online player is getting their stuff quicker, can play online and still make their stubs while the offline player has to grind more.

@Teak2112_MLBTS “We know we said ‘Play your way’ but we really meant online, against people who will dashboard when you need a HR and hit one. Oh, and they will also be using a Cronus, cause we don’t really care. And they will have also used an exploit to complete every collection, again we don’t care. But, play your way guys!”

@skywalker_25_PSN You also only hear how bad this game is but you still play it...I play mostly online and ive been disconnected one time. Out of maybe 100 games I've come across 2 or 3 cheaters, but that doesn't make online not fun. You should just give it a try for yourself and see if you like it instead of listening to people who only complain on here...

I've played online a few times in previous years, it was not a pleasant experience.

10 Ks in any multiplayer mode
1500 pxp with any supercharged players
2 wins in ranked
2500 pxp in a single game
10 HRs in any multiplayer mode
There’s the medium round missions. I think there are 4 current Supercharged players. You know that your opponent will dashboard when you hit a HR. No thank you.
-
Let me break down this entire thread for everyone that doesnt want to read the comments. More crying and complaining from the offline community players. Get your a s s e s online or go play something else. Us online players have to play countless hours of mini seasons, conquest etc. So i can care less about you babies crying. Yeah i said it. all you offline players can block me. Im tired of playing offline.

It's like they don't pay attention at all, like you said goodluck even getting 1 home run.
