The content flat just the same thing every month and somehow I fall for it purely because there's only 1 MLB game on the market. This content has been overwhelmingly boring. They gas these games up about being all new but I see the same exact stuff happening. mind you they still haven't patched freeze offs or other glitches that should've been fixed years ago and their support team for any issue is garbage.

Sounds like something an SDS dev would say undercover. Long paragraph about how they gift us these programs that take 1.5 hours when all it gives you is useless collection cards and 5 packs that give you commons and silvers with a total of like 2.5k stubs. Same cards too just different colors and names on it

They are basically putting out the same car every year with a tape deck, no electric windows or locks, seat warmers or BT connections, but with a different coat of paint.

That's the problem.

It’s a baseball video game lol

What exactly do you want the game to do differently?

What are you missing?

Want a list of things different?

• Same cards different colors. Same techniques used in every game sinkers in cutters out. Endless grinding by TA.
• Try adding a co-op ranked seasons matchmaking in that is horrid, constant freeze offs in that as well.
• Dropping 99s? That's good ill give them that but you can get 1 99 out of ranked after playing I don't know maybe 300 innings of the game mode.
• Programs? Wow 10 useless cards and 5 useless packs no stubs nothing 1.5k wow so much
• Hitting engine? Very late outside and you'll pull it fair somehow leave it at that.
• Same audio 99 times in a game, everyones memorized the Lindor and jazz Chizzolm grandma lines they couldn't even take time to make multiple combos or even talk about college or literally anything.

In the end you're grinding for 3-6 hours combined on multiple things and you'll never even use them. It's the same thing every year, they don't care because everyone will still buy it as there is no competition in the MLB video game area. Here's an idea how about implementing a ranked/franchise sort of game mode where its an actual season with your friends/random people?(Not custom leagues either that's a waste with no rewards) Maybe a straight player lock RTTS team up? They don't need to because there's no competition so they can rinse repeat and recycle the same programs and everything with different card art and everything.

[censored] it I deleted the game disregard this

@PurpleTRD_PSN said in Game has gone straight flat:

This game plays fantastic and is really fun if you take breaks.. if its the only game you play it’s frustrating especially once your eyes start to fatigue

Never said it doesn't play well. Said the content is lacking which therefore the lack of content has made the game go flat. Its straight team affinity and monthly nothing new. Yes the game play is 100% better but content wise its straight garbage and boring offline grinding mainly

someone please start a petition to end this hitting [censored] man. its gotten out of hand, its the same [censored] as last year with the [censored] late and early hits. Im getting [censored] bored of this game 3 weeks in.The game has been actually dog [censored]. Ive seen mire very late hits than perfect [censored] perfects like come the [censored] on man

Tonight like 20 minutes ago, I went 12-0 for the first time and mickey mantle carried not gonna lie, but when I went 12-0 it never gave me the rare or flawless pack it gave me the 9 win reward so if anyone else had this issue can you lmk what to do thank you.

Try resetting your console. If that doesn't work; you'll have to submit a ticket.

I just need to ask: it was a 12-0 and not 12 wins after getting a loss?

nah 12-0 clean even im shocked because usually I get tanked on all star

Something's up. Because your game history states different.

Your last four games show 4 wins (ironically Tarik Skubal is 1-0 in each game) and the fifth game shows you lost.

Then it shows you won the previous 7 games. Then before those 7 are two Ranked games. Then a Co-op game. Then 35 CPU games. Then before those a loss in a BR game.

Then 2 wins and 2 losses.

That goes all the way back to the 22.

So unless games aren't showing, or you went 12-0 more than 4-5 days ago, you may need to check your math.

No, I took a picture of it, In my game log its showing all 12 games and the picture I Have shows 12 wins and the other one has it where they only gave me the rewards up to the 9 wins

I'm not saying you didn't. I'm just saying that the games aren't showing in your Game History.

Your best bet is to put in a Bug Report/Support ticket. Because if some of your games aren't showing up; SDS has a way to see those games and they'll be able to fix them.

Yeah that's what I did with 3 images, 1 of the 12-0 and then 1 of the rewards it gave me which was only up to 9 wins and what my screen showed in the regular BR screen with 0 loses again hopefully they can fix it

@chuckclc5755_xbl said in start a petition to fix the RNG:

Seems like the RNG is working fine. Maybe too well for most. I decline this petition.

Same, ya just gotta get your timing down. I have 5 guys hitting over .400 on my active team and a few more over .300.

lucky man couldn't be me. im putting the ball perfectly in the PCI 7/10 at bats. Solid 2/10 are hits. Everyone else seems to be getting late very late very early contact and somehow get more hits than me. I normally slash high .400's its dropped to a solid .370 the past 4-10 games its horrible

@genopolanco_PSN said in Game has gone straight flat:

Yeah this year had “down year” written all over it and that’s definitely what it is.

Nah this wasn't the down year, Last year for me I despised playing the game. It was just pure very late and very early hits. This year is better but just straight garbage content just rinse cycle and repeat. Then when you have an issue with the game they give you the finger and don't respond to you or leave you hanging so hopefully I pray another company drops an MLB game because im running to them with no hesitation

Most days I actually wonder to myself if im only playing this game because i love baseball and there is no other option. Im not saying i hate the game, its visually amazing. I just wish there was another legit sim option. Competition makes every try harder, see madden ending 2k in ‘06.

that and every sports game is on the decline. 2k, madden the only sports game I can genuinely play and have fun with friends is NHL. MLB's co op is broken, ranked is almost unplayable with how sweaty the games get. I get so bored of having to see the same pitches over and over again in sinkers and cutters. Game has gotten unenjoyable. Events is worthless, BR is horrid for me too but I went 12-0 and didn't even get my flawless rewards which I sent a ticket a week ago still haven't heard anything. Game overall makes me question why I even load it up. The packs are straight garbage just a money hungry company drying out every last penny they can with the same content different card art.

I cant even use the cards I want to to grind TA. On top of that when I do get rewards they just sit there because all time is wasted playing mini seasons with cards I hate. Grind 97 is straight buns IMO.

and when you do grind they give you 3 packs with nothing but commons and 1,000 stubs for 3 hours of work.

What exactly do you want the game to do differently?

What are you missing?

First of all, you come off as a self-proclaimed authority and gate-keeper of opinions, and condescending to boot.

Second, not everyone is on Reddit, for different reasons (age, format, convenience, etc), and SDS posts on Twitter are rampant with criticism (and uncensored, as opposed to here).

Third, if you enjoy the game, good for you, I'm not dumping on your parade. Also depends on how long you've been playing it (I go back to 989).

As far as content, well I'm sorry, but for the last 3 years (and for some missions, 4+ years) it's always: Program X: Conquest map, Showdown, grind PXP missions, collect cards, grind more PXP from earlier program unlocked cards. And for the last 3 years, if you're late to the party (say a month or 2 after release), some programs have expired, so you can't go back and knock them out.

Now, gameplay: freeze offs have been a thing for years; when they introduced coop, my first thought was "well, that'll be a s*** show". Looks like I was right, and anybody who has been playing online for years saw it coming. MS last year was a mess for about 2-3 months before fixing it, and they brought it back this year with MORE problems.

You have to think not everyone plays the game in one way; so bugs and repetitiveness will affect you differently than others. If you refer to the same jack***es that come here and complain about the same thing every 2 days and keep playing and come back again with even more of the same complaints (like a certain fellow frenchie), then I can agree with you on this.

this hit the game right on the button. repeat players for 4+ years see the same thing every year with the same issues every year. But they added WBC and said the freeze offs aren’t the issues. they can add different card art and be able to say “We’re good with that” rather than fix issues that should’ve been fixed years ago. They made a separate support thing just for your mini seasons progress being stuck. Rather than fixing it. W company, they have potential every year and find a way to demolish that potential every year. Only reason people actually bought the game was cause jeter, at least that’s why i bought it. I had no intention to do this again after last year.
