Youtubers are all going in
-
Because those are the ones that want every card handed to them without grinding for it
That is not their issue, come on now.

Outrage is what gets views/clicks and they know it.
-
They act like "HEY! I'm leaving MLB the Show", as if they're conceding an election.

This is definitely big part of it.
But, I would need to watch the videos and hear their actual discussion points to know if that was the sole reason.
Their are legitimate reasons to not like the 26 version of the game. There are even enough reasons for people to have two completely different lists of reasons and both be correct.
But, I am not watching those videos.

I watched some of those videos and yes, they make valid points but it's kinda overhyped in my opinion. If anyone is spending 30-40+ hours a week on this game maybe I can see some of the complaints but as for casuals spending less than 30 hrs a week odds are even though knowing the issues casuals are spending time playing other games or doing real life things and not to say casuals don't care because I'm sure they do in some form or fashion, it's just easier for them to turn the game off and find something else to do.
Adding one more point:
I find it hilarious that these CCs tell their respected communities don't buy MLBTS 27, take a stand but then they turn around and say we wouldn't buy it either but we have too so we can create content....seriously?? Why won't you all CCs stand with your community and put your alls money where your mouth is!?! Call for a boycott but yet not participate in it? That's laughable.

It is why I will continue to say that SDS should not cater to the top 10% or the bottom 10% of players, in terms of time spent or skills.
Now, not catering to them is not the same as not listening to them. They should listen to all valid complaints. Just that those two groups experiences may not always align with the middle 80%

I agree with you 100%

It's pretty simple: SDS wants people to spend money, and their developers openly despise the people who play the game and really despise people who don't like sabermetrics. The outrage is real; they randomly make the game more frustrating for one simple reason: it makes them feel superior to the people who pay them, while they ignore multiple glaring problems with their games and cling to a dying philosophy of baseball. The tables have turned, and SDS is holding on to sabermetrics and worshipping at the church of obsolete and boring baseball. F them.

The SDS stans are taking over these forums lately.
Despite all the indisputable flaws and degradation within the game this year, they're still out here fighting the good fight for their corporate overloads, and doing so with verocity not seen in a while.
It's pathological and exhibiting elements of Stockholm Syndrome.
Come 27 the same people will be wondering why the game still sucks....

Agreed, and it would be nice if there could be actual real, level headed discussions about the issues people have with the game. But that doesn't get people watching and interacting, so it doesn't really happen. And if you dare try to have those types of conversations you just get called a bootlicker, a liar, an SDS employee, a stan, fighting for our corporate overlords, etc. etc. etc.

The SDS stans
First of all I am so old I had to look up what the origin of that was. I got the meaning from the context but had no clue where it originated.
Secondly, I found myself wondering if you were including me because I called out someone's hyperbolic speech?

pretty sure SDS is a company whose goal is to maximize revenue, just like every other company on the planet. Whether gathering it a little from everyone and build brand loyalty for “the long con” or soaking the whales and getting everything up front and burn everything down afterwards, thats for the bean counters to determine. Not going to be mad that a company chooses to stay alive in a manner which they choose to determine the best course.

Wow, I came in here to read some of the year-end wrap-up comments from this year's game. It makes me glad I didn't buy 26. It's the first year in- who knows how long- and I missed it at first. But then the addiction ended, and now I'm wondering if I'll ever come back to the game.
I loved the game in the past, but I'm not sure the frustration is worth it now.
Play on! (for those who still want to)
-
meh, most of these creators are pretty normal and level-headed. They come from a bit of a weird place like all Content Creators (just cause its different playing a game for a living and doing the whole streaming and social media thing). But, their complaints line up with most other people.

In all fairness, it would be so great for another company to make a baseball game, then these lazy [censored] s at SDS would actually have to put some effort in, otherwise you get the slop that they put out with all there broken [censored].
I think people are scared to make a competing game these days.
It would have to have an Ultimate Team mode at this point.
Who has the balls? Maybe a company that has made UT games in other sports? Most of you wouldn't want EA to make baseball games again. I do want EA back into baseball. Triple Play/MVP games were good. 2K baseball got a lot right, but i doubt they come back. Those crooks still have NBA 2K26 in the PS store at full flippin' price!
I'm glad i experienced the era of at least 2 games available for each sport. We may never get that again.
It's a sad situation. -

At this rate, watch SDS just say "GGs" and skip next year's game. I bet the loudest complainers would be the first ones begging for it back.
And yeah, I'm a certified SDS bootlicker. I actually like the game, so there's that.

I agree, I loved MVp 2005. I don’t care who makes a baseball game, we need some options.
