That gives the game a lot of hope. The general consensus is this patch made this the worst version of mlb the show to date which is unfortunate because just a week ago we were playing possibly the BEST version of mlb the show ever made. (Minus a few bugs and a few misc fixes)

Why they chose to scale the game back to a broken random dumpster fire is really beyond my understanding. I can’t even imagine the casual players would have any sort of fun playing this game in its current state.

That being said that makes me think positive about the eventual outcome.

1. They need people that are actually good in this game testing it. We’ve watched the dev streams let’s be honest...none of you are very good at your own game which in turn makes you think other people can possibly be good at the game. To be honest all of you would be about 500-600 range or less in the grand scheme of things. So maybe get some very high skilled players down there to test the game?

2. Accept that ppl want to have fun. Forget micro managing telemetry and data. If the scores are 10-8 they are 10-8. It got harder as you moved up...and it’s a lot more fun then 1-1 or 2-1 with 15 lineouts on great inputs by both teams.

3. Respect the community and stay true to your word. You sold this game on SKILL WOULD MATTER. And INPUTS WOULD MATTER. They don’t. Period. Inputs mean literally nothing.

I been playing quite a bit. I feel like this years game is def the best version gameplay wise I’ve seen. Connection issues and server issues are a problem but I coulda called that going into cross play...

I mean let’s give these dudes some credit. We’ve all been complaining a lot but I’m seeing constant improvements and they are working hard at fixing everything as it comes in so they deserve to be recognized for that. I’ve even noticed slight gameplay improvements over the last 2 days... not sure if this has to do with server improvements but gameplay just seems more of where the beta was to me as of yesterday but actually even better then the beta...so. Kudos

So every year there is a progression of cards and their worth. I think leagues with DD will help the market value of cards. For example. A random 85 diamond card that loses its value as the higher cards become available now holds value in leagues will overall team caps. I think the DD Leagues are a great addition to the game. I think the tournament possibilities and overall competitive possibilities of the game are going to be endless. The market is also going to be booming with cards of all levels.

@Rambo_11k said in Update 1.06:

“We are continuing to monitor it”.....they are so out of touch with how the majority of the players feel.

This is what I mean. They are too focused on telemetry and data that they will sacrifice gameplay if it means statistics are where they want them to be which is stupid. Their approach to this game is a bad one.

This is how they think. They don’t change things based on testing they change things based on the data that comes from our gameplay. So if averages are 250-350 and eras are 2-5.00 in their minds the games playing great. That’s false. This is why this game plays like such garbage.

Seriously. It’s old. It’s obviously improving and it’s been way worse in past years you guys are not veterans if you think this is the worst launch. The game just added millions of people I honestly expected way worse. At least when they stabilize we have a dope game to play...and they will stabilize over time. Be patient. Play March to October. Relax. It’s not that big of a deal. I have a ton of server connection losses who TF cares? If you are good in the gameplay you will over come it.

I truly believe that mlb 21 has the potential to be the greatest baseball game of all time. I know a lot of people are quite skeptical because of lasts years pull back on inputs. However, it seems like they are really listening to the community like never before. Literally every issue I personally thought should be addressed was addressed in the game. The exception being I really believe foul tips are a problem, HOWEVER I don’t feel like it’s game breaking.

Stepping into the new generation of consoles and introducing our new Xbox new comers welcome to the community. Some or many people actually — really don’t like me. sometimes I’m harsh and others think I “whine” about gameplay, and I do complain about gameplay but I promise it’s not because I can’t handle a learning curve.

Furthermore I don’t mean it to attack any of you personally and I want everyone to have fun I honestly do. So let’s start fresh. I’m going to try to have a more positive outlook and constructive response to some of my ranting.

Good-luck to everyone this year. Excited to get to the next year.

And something someone said to me resonated — being toxic to ppl just because they aren’t good is kind of douchey.

But I didn’t mean it that way. It was more so feeling like I had to defend my position with credibility.

Can we not talk about the corona virus on these threads. It’s already a way over abused topic everywhere. We get it there’s a a new virus. Everything closing is absurd. They didn’t do this for SARS, Ebola, H1n1 or any of the other MORE DEADLY virus’ they didn’t have medicine for. This is a concern but it’s blown way out of proportion because of an incompetent media and unintelligent masses.

Until I just went back to it. God this game is atrocious. It’s by far the most mind boggling version of mlb ever. I hated 18 but I must say I think 19 is worse. It’s just a random series of outcomes especially on Allstar and below.

Mitch is a very very good player. I made a few middle mistakes that he made me pay for badly with two no doubters. (Not game induced mistakes - user mistakes which is Baseball.)

I enjoyed playing against him. He’s def one of the best players I ever faced. I knew he was very good going in. And Id like to continue to play ppl at that level and improve my game play to get to that next level. Which I think eventually I can.

Thanks for the friendly. Hope to have more in the future. Touché

I praised the game first week. Game was great. Now the game is bad period. I’m losing to way lesser players and having much better inputs. Getting mistakes on perfect meters with perfect perfect and squared good outs sometimes with the bases loaded making it a complete random game of chance. I win games like this too. Doesn’t matter the game is bad. This game play that you promised us would not occur is horrible. No one in their right mind would enjoy this unless they were trying to compete and couldn’t period.

If you got the loss then you disconnected and your opponent didn’t. That means it wasn’t a server drop but your internet dropping.

Simple SDS just needs to implement into the game

One Press for R2 per at bat.

Simple end of discussion.

No. You will not quick pitch me. I’m holding it down every pitch.

You’ll do anything to gain an advantage dude. Just practice. Holding R2 is absolutely an exploit. It’s a known exploit. You aren’t trying to stop a quick pitch you are trying to exploit.

@smalltownkid1990 said in Just got home, ready to play some...:

Servers down...
Lolololololol

I always cut SDS a break the first week of launch, but still?? Will this ever end? Do they even care?
It’s almost comical at this point. ALMOST...

More engaging than comical. They gotta offer a refund at this point.

That will never happen

Pressing R2 to check energy and pitches is one thing HOLDING it to throw off timing is another thing. R2 forces meatballs. Why. I don’t know.

Maybe it is ur internet idk. The survers have actually never gone down for me. No joke. I play most days. I never seem to have problems

Stop trolling bro.

The thing about a card like Cabrera is it will be very high in price later because it’s limited. Event diamonds are good to hold on to. The Brooks Robinson last year after the event was selling for 10k toward the end of the cycle it was 110k just sayin.

I think cross platform is honestly a huge mistake and should had not even been done. The game doesn’t work and it def has something to do with that imo. When it plays the gameplay is good but the game is real choppy with the severs — plus the freeze offs are just way too over done

@sevisonjn_psn said in Stop complaining about servers:

It's a valid complaint. Just don't need five new threads about the same issue every time connections are dropped. SDS gets the importance of fixing this.

Absolutely important and it will be addressed it’s not going to be the life of the game — ppl need to chill out

The servers will be stabilized have patience. At least the game is good.
