That's actually a very mature response in the end, did not expect that. Kudos to you.

I know when I’m wrong, just got a little caught up in the moment that’s all, you guys made me realize I was wrong though. Baseball is all about exploiting weaknesses lmao. Just lost my mind for a min

I love RicksterGhost. Dude is absolutely hilarious, and I feel the pain he shares in his videos. Give him a watch, you’ll be crying of laughter whether it’s a gameplay or pack opening

I love The Show, and have been playing for years now. I spend a lot of money every year. A lot of time every year. I’m a teacher and have been grinding for the past month since I haven’t been having to work (very thankful to be a teacher in these uncertain times). But I don’t remember a game being this broken. Hitting is an absolute nightmare, pitching makes me pull my own hair out, and fielding is far worse than the other two combined. I have a team filled with diamonds and just lost to an all gold squad, gave up three bombs on “early” swings on low and away change ups with Scherzer. Had 13 hits, but everytime it was a hanger, you bet it got popped up or I grounded into a double play, no matter where my pci was. Yelich had 3 errors in 6 innings, I took him out because I was so mad. I understand he’s not a great fielder, but dude is an MVP candidate every year and is easily one of the most well rounded players in the game. I know this is just one game, but it has been like this for the past 10-15 games for me. closed the game and won’t be back on until an update changes something. The game isn’t fun anymore, and that’s when a company should know things need to change, especially when there’s as many complaints daily as there is right now. Rant over. It’s up to you SDS.

Who’s a card for your favorite team that you’d absolutely love too see? Preferably a throwback of some sort, I think it’s a cool topic to discuss, and maybe someone will see it and pursue the cards. As a giants fan, I would be ECSTATIC if we were to get a Tim Lincecum, Brian Wilson or Matt Cain. Who would you love to see from your team?

@Rambo_11k said in Came back to see if it’s changed:

I want them to explain to us players why they drastically changed this game on release day. They didn’t do it because they were bored. It was intentional and I’m curious about those intentions.

Me and my brother were just talking about this. We think the game was best when it was first released, and has steeply declined since then lmao

See you tomorrow

I’m not sure what the point in this post is.

And just like that Trout has defeated you ...

Trout defeats everybody. Nobody is unbeaten by Trout.

So he is Batman ?

I’m batman

Literally this thing is such a joke, I’m not saying to give me wins or demanding to get my fan points, but let’s all be realistic, it’s broken and is just not user friendly at all. The CPU fielding and pitch control is just disgusting, doesn’t matter how hard you hit it, odds are your taking a walk back to the dugout (or in our case, back to the fridge for a beer or drink to get through this nightmare)

@ComebackLogic said in Done until something changes:

I hear that, I felt exactly the same last week. The hard part is I really want to like this franchise and I want to support the game and development team behind it, because it’s fun when it all works as intended. I can have fun win or lose, if the game plays in a balanced and logical manner. Sadly the combination of terrible fielding, seemingly random at times pitching and punishing swing timing windows at HoF level and upwards make the game feel a real chore. If you want to take the game in any way seriously and feel competitive, the combination of glitches, bad animations, good/okay low exit velo results on squared up swings and excessive low scoring, high strikeout games are enough to exhaust even the most dedicated player after a game or two. As you said, it’s simply not fun. It’s an exercise in frustration and how much you can stand before you have to quit for a while and cool off.

It’s a shame, because some of the new features would be great, I really like the look of the updated stadiums, Oracle Park looks sensational with the Coca-Cola bottle out in the stands now and I’m digging the return of classic cards from years past, nostalgia and line up variety for the 15th anniversary gets a thumbs up. Until we get some serious gameplay tweaks, the main focus will be on the bad aspects that detract from the effort that SDS have put into this years game. Hopefully that will happen really soon.

Very well said sir

See you tomorrow

I quit a week ago, I've had great pack luck (5 trouts), I've spent zero extra dollars and I've completed the LS collection.

I'm not even remotely missing the game, it's been deleted from my HD.

I come here hoping to see that the game has been fixed, maybe I'll make free space on my HD, but nope, same stuff.

For many of us "I'm done" really means I'm done. I won't be playing future SDS titles either. Too bad, all sports games are now on the same path of money grabs.

5 Trouts? With no money spent? Chilllllll out there Ramon

Prestige 76, how much time do you play a day?!

I have played a ton in recent weeks because I lost my job and had to quarantine because of Covid. Not much else to do when you're sitting at homes scratching your man parts all day. Showdowns helped get me there, if you get all the programs to 100% you'll be deep into the prestige path too.

Sorry to hear that my man, nobody deserves to lose their job in these uncertain times

@olivegarden2 said in Make World Series Awards Great again:

They just game everyone who makes WS one of the best hitting cards so far! What does everyone want?! Every new content drop there are ALWAYS complaints! People are so negative

Believe it or not, but we as the people who pay for the game therefore put money in their pockets, are allowed to give our reviews, whether they be positive or negative. How else does a company learn other than constructive criticism?

Highly doubt it would happen in an inning program, but I strongly feel a 99 MadBum coming soon

I got 1 of each. Took Robert and Gagne. I think they’re worth it even if you get base both times

Was bored, so I decided to hop on for a game and see if things have changed regarding the issues and LOL that’s what I get for thinking. Betts (arguably games best defender) runs past 3 fly balls in 4 innings. Yes you read that right. Didn’t lock on and just ran straight past it. Then in the 5th, Bellinger does the same thing in center. At this point I’m about to just quit, but I keep playing. 2 batters after the drop by Belly, I give up a dinger on an early swing on a low and away sinker. After I was squaring up everything the whole game, just wasn’t getting hits because the pitch wasn’t directly in the center of my pci. Aaaaannnnnndddddd I’m done until they fix this, it’s absolutely past the point of ridiculous.

Had some insane luck tonight had to share what I pulled.

Baez x2
Betts
Sale
Aroldis Chapman
Kershaw
Verlander
Alonso
Freeman
Arenado

3x Diamond Equipment

Had a diamond glove and Baez in the same pack

All out of standard packs, pulled 1 Baez out of ballin is a habit tho. Kept selling the players cause I need the more expensive ones now, and Arenado was my crown jewel tonight, got to finish the NL West. Just thought I’d share my insane luck this evening with y’all.

Apparently so because I never pull anything an immediately after reading this I pulled 2 packs an got Baez.now that usually doesn't happen after reading posts like this but if u actually did pull these tonight I say packs r juiced or at least for u they were

Honestly pulled every single one of these, me and my brother sat here for a good hour just ripping packs and selling what I didn’t need. They’ve been bad for me for the past few weeks, but today was insane. Glad it worked for you my friend!
