There was no excitement to begin with. This game hasn't improved in 6 years, doubt next year will be any different. Will still play tho, because you know.. baseball.

I agree. The game has been haywire starting in 18. I play simply because as old as I am, it keeps me in the game I played for 29 years in one capacity or another.

What I would like to see them do is bring back Williams, Cobb and Hornsby. Nobody is interested in 99 scrubs like Moustakas, Hosmer or Andrus. They may have been 99's in Little League but were never that in the MLB.

And for goodness sakes, if you are going to disrespect Willie Mays this year like you did last year, just take him out of the game. Nobody wants one of the GOAT's to have a card like the first 99 Griffey you released. JMHO.

I love that whenever I use examples of players who shouldn’t have 99s, I go right to Hosmer, Mouse and Andrus.

Willie Mays was one of the 3 biggest letdowns this year.

#1.- No Team Affinity- I get that the featured programs were basically team affinity but by combining them, there was far less content for offline players.

#2- the game fell off a cliff on December. I get that the game cycle has to end but it was so abrupt and there was no reason for people to play the forever program if they’d gotten every card.

#3.- Where is Mays? His 99 along with Gehrig’s 99s were very lame.

Yep those cards will never see even 1/3 of an inning in a game. Mainly just help with collections.

I’m nearly P5 with Gehrig and mainly just because I’m stubborn. Love the player and usually the card and so committed to using him though agree this isn’t his best work.

@raesONE-_PSN said in How hard would it have been for SDS to create some cards in advance to keep the game interesting all year.:

Good thing I left in June. Or was it May? All I remember is finishing the George Brett collection when it got released and never even used him in a game.

mate the trick for me this year was - no offline, no conquests, no showdowns, no grinding or major collections (i just did AL / NL), only RS / Events / BR that little amount of online gaming was that much more enjoyable

The running animation to 1st base is nonsense on a dropped third strike, they SLOW DOWN like its a single....

The dives are stupid, although they did curb it a bit, its still unrealistic. Maybe save for a quirk (Superman quirk or something)

What gets me is the stealing jumps, that makes no sense.

The dropped 3rd strike animation is so ridiculous…. How they drop the bat, start walking and then look back and start to run lol pisses me off

Dude, don't be such a beta incel.

The alpha males from that post reported me…

Good, you were being an intolerable douche.

I am probably the worst online hitter in the show and I have played guys with 600 more wins than loses. I know before the first pitch is over I am going to lose. I play them until it's getting me upset to the point where I am not having fun and/or know I can't advance any of my programs. I won't dashboard anyone, but when I know it's over with zero chance I quit, wait until I have calmed down and start again.

I know when I first started posting on this site that I probably complained way too much. Not because I was looking for sympathy, but I wanted to vent. I realized I wasn't doing myself any favors and stopped. Perhaps it's time OP looked in the mirror and decided that maybe it's time to either accept he isn't very good and either move on to another game or do what actual major leaguers have to do. Adjust his gameplay. I know from personal experience it's not always easy, and sometimes not possible.

I stopped caring about my W-L record and instead am working on what I need to complete programs. At the end of the day this is not anywhere as important as some people make it out to be.

@BANGyourSOUL_XBL said in Pretty Crazy the Amount of Latin American Show Players.:

Must be about 85 percent of my opponents with a flag from a Latin American country or a Spanish team name.

Obviously baseball is turning into a Latin American dominated sport, but it’s still kind of surprising the rate in which I encounter teams with DR/PR flags.

I don’t think I’ve seen one Latin American flag in all my years of madden/nba.

Probably because most Latinos grow up playing béisbol y fútbol but not American football nor basketball!!!

Amazon is pretty quick and easy. Just click "the send me an invitation" button on the ps5 page that you want, and you will most likely get an invite within a week. Then you have 72 hours to purchase. I have done this 3 times in the last month but didn't buy one. Was just testing out.

Even saw one in my local Walmart a couple weeks ago in the cage and had to ask if that was available to buy or was being held for someone, and they said yep its available.

Good know thanks

I think anyplace that has "membership" involved would be your best bet. If you have Amazon Prime, just request an invite and they will send you an email. You then have 72 hours to place your order. It surprisingly worked for me.

I clicked the request invite last night and my wife showed me the email this morning. I was only kidding when I hit place order because I thought for sure it would tell me out of stock when I did it. The order placed and I'm not upset about it..lol

How horrid swings out of the zone with bad timing are foul balls all day long with no penalty.

Meanwhile a slightly off center good timing swing is an easy out.

they changed it in 22 because it was the first time on Nintendo and little johnny wouldn't have his feelings hurt by swinging and missing at a slider 10 ft above the strike zone

It was actually ‘21 when they introduced it to xbox

no in 21 it was a swing and miss

Lol no it wasn’t and honestly bad swings being foul balls isn’t new, has nothing to do with the new player bases it’s been happening for years, mostly on all star and below. Thats what happens when you have cards with 125 attributes.

19 was awful in terms of foul balls

Yes, that was before they changed what the vision attribute was based on or whatever they said they did to it the following year.

@joshdcarr25 said in SDS Quit Changing Difficulties, Sliders, Pitch Speeds.:

That's not true. All star is very much different depending on the mode. Events at all star difficulty are often different as well depending on how they have adjusted the sliders. If you look at the sliders in the settings, you will see that pitch speed is one of them.

exactly mate

@MRAD2010_XBL said in What did they do to this new Mauer.:

@BANGyourSOUL_XBL said in What did they do to this new Mauer.:

Played through the events to get 20 wins for stubs…

Griffey, Moncada, Foxx…all the cards I just picked up during the event are hitting .400-.500 no lie and Mauer is at .176.

I guess the sample size it only like 40-50 at bats, but I can usually feel if a card isn’t great. Seems to just be hitting weak flies to the warning track and balls directly at the 2B/SS. I was killing it with the old Mauer. Anyone else have similar results?

I absolutely love this new Mauer. He’s been one of my best hitters from this program.

Same here! It's like poking basehits everywhere and then Bamm a blast fron past!!!!

@Mike__Honcho_361 said in Anyone face Eckersley on HOF or Above:

For some reason Wagner has gotten shelled for
Me. Same thing happened with 99 Goose last year.

Wagner wasn't working for me below HOF but HOF+ he's a terror. Same with Brock.

@PAinPA_PSN said in Worse signing…Kris Bryant or Russ Wilson?:

He signed a multi year deal didnt he.he still has lots of time to live up to it.

a bad deal were the deals the phils made with morton (i forget the other one) and they got season ending injuries in april
or the 2 year 20+ million with robertson and he tore he ucl 3 weeks in and pitched less than 20 innings for it.
Those are bad deals, you're jumping the gun on bryant.

Look at the big A nest to my name. I sure you can name some really bad deals. Do you remember Josh Hamilton? He did crud for the Angels then went back to Texas and learned how to hit again. This time very rich. I think Pujols was worth it but Rendon and Upton...

I think the big difference with Hamilton was he was finally off the drugs during that stretch in Texas. While I don't doubt he could get them anywhere he wanted to, being in a city like LA is just not a good idea for someone with an addiction.

Sometimes I wonder just what he might have accomplished if he had never tried drugs.

If they are sitting in the pause menu, wait about 30 seconds and pause the game yourself. Your timer won’t go down until they unpause

Why are you concerned? So you lost interest in a video game. See if something else piques your interest. If not, it’s no sweat and not the end of the world. It’s just a game. There are a lot of other things to do that are equally interesting and fun.

Hey, try going to a real game and keep score. That’s always fun.

He has been out all year. Not so special now. I thought he was very easy in that Extreme Showdown. Mainly because I have seen him multiple times.
