I cannot fathom how dumb this entire thing is, every time I try to link my playstation account to my MLBTs account its just giving me constant error after error. It won't let me link anything and I have the useless support guy Miguel giving me steps that I've tried 20 times. im not enjoying this right now and will not give up until I linked everything and get the packs

Good luck. My accounts have been linked for years and I haven't received one single Twitch pack; even though I've claimed them.

yeah im giving up this is too annoying every time I try its just straight error after error so I give up and all they'll say is "follow these steps" nice

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.

They had over a decade of Matt Vasgersian and everyone complained. Maybe don’t complain next time. It’ll take a long time to stockpile enough audio to make up for what they lost. The announcers have actual jobs calling actual games after all and they most certainly aren’t gonna spend thousands of hours in the off season recording lines either.

Oh yeah ur right, all they have to do is hit the copy and paste button on the game with a different cover and different 3-4 new players with a couple of new 99s and call it MLB the show 24.

That’s what you took from me mentioning commentary. Did your mommy drop you on your head as a baby?

corny response you're acting like SDS doesn't have the money for them to say a few extra lines or code it to where im not hearing the same lindor cologne and f1 racing line 21 times per day.

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.

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

It’s 7-10 cards that can be used in the set collections. Everything is optional and you don’t have to do them. But if you do it eventuales turns into the best cards in the game. I don’t know what more you want.

Even though I know others feel the same since I've seen their posts, I will only speak for myself when saying - Grinding for collection fodder is not fun. At all. When the most common reply to any content release is "well, it's X # of cards for the collection" your content setup sucks.

The sets and seasons setup this year was a bad idea (why would anyone want their cards to expire?), but the real problem was/is high diamonds on day one. It left nowhere to go but sideways with program rewards.

I mean, they could have put in some nice 99s people want, but that doesn't generate enough stub sales like reserving those for expensive packs does.

99s were a great idea off rip, set 1 was the most fun I've had with this game in ages, 99 Griffey 99 Tatis, but I sold everyone by the end because after that it felt like a repetitive slow grind that didn't reward anything. Im dreading set 3 because why? It will be the same grind over and over again like a robot. They add up IF you do them which I do but some people don't have time and they make every pack expensive but don't even give you a valid reason to pull the pack. Headliners guarantee a silver for 7.5 like what? They need to change the gameplan up fast because this game will die out by set 3 or 4. Only people that will be playing day to day is all the twitch steamers that make money and all of that, most casual people will move on to a new game.

I don't know about dying, but I expect there's going to be a pretty large dropoff after set 3 starts and all those set 1s are put out to pasture.

As for me I've done the grind twice now and I don't think I have another in me. Not quite ready yet to call it quits (as I really do hope they have something better in store for season 3), but I have been reading up on Diablo 4 a lot the last couple days.

I feel you, Once the support team gave me the finger after i went 12-0 and never got the rewards i was gonna just dip on the game then i saw 99 judge and as a Yankees fan I had to do my due diligence. As far as set 3. I love the way this game can be played sometimes but the grind is god awful just no benefit from it. They gotta add an X Factor this next set rather than doing everything on repeat.

So you want different baseball players? They added 3 this year. DJ, Sosa, Mark.

You’re tired of grinding might just mean you’re kinda over video games or just want to casually play them

I play mostly co-op ranked and solo ranked- I don’t think I’ve had more than 2 freezes this year in co-op ranked. I also watch a lot of streamers play co-op ranked and they don’t freeze as much as people from this forum claim to do- which could also be an specific internet issues for the user

There was never a ranked program it’s fairly new- if you wanted the reward you either had to buy the card or make WS… so adding a program was there as kinda a gift to the ppl that don’t make WS

Programs are their to help complete big collection that we are now getting every season. They are just there to help you get the chippers, babes, Randy etc etc you don’t have to do them to play the game- there’s so many good cards that they aren’t actually needed but just a plus of you have them

The overall consensus especially compared to last year is that hitting has been the best it’s been in a while with this game- weird things happen when you hit baseballs sometimes. But for the most part when I square a ball up in the game the contact is good

The first thing I do every year is turn off the announcers lol- I don’t get enjoyment from listening to them. I get enjoyment from playing baseball

I do agree with you on most of these, but here's the thing they'll add a 99 mickey mantle card to precisely bring in cash for them knowing big time streamers are gonna buy the amount and all the money they'll get from that and etc. It'd be gross to see how much money they strictly brought in from people dying to get their hands on Jeter. Money hungry company and It works on most

To say freeze offs happen due to internet is nuts, I have my $300 wifi booster right next to my console and ethernet coord connected right there. Same with the co-op friends I play with. As for ranked program last set was beautiful this year you HAVE to grind out minimal 300 innings. Excessive most people barely have time for that.

Maybe your experience with hitting is better just based off luck but I can't count how many times I've hit a ball dead on the button and it was just a lazy flyout or groundball with 125 power stat on the person that hit it.

They don't need to add a new person they could possibly add a higher tier card than a 99? like 2k Galaxy Opal with basically juiced stats, I think that would be a good idea. Like imagine an all maxed out Ronald Acuna MVP or Degrom CY young maxed out card. Wouldn't be fun to face but it would be fun for people to acquire for FREE

Correct me if Im wrong here but this is set 2 soon to be going on set 3 right so in a month when the boring overwhelming offline grinding comes and you have to do 6 TA's and 4 programs again for the 1,000th time in over 4 years I mean what more do people want right? This game gonna die at set 3 or set 4. Nobody is gonna wanna play it and do the same things over and over and over again up until set 6. Game had potential and that potential once again fell short as they do every year. They can drop 99s but they can't repeat the same cycle for 6 sets in one year its a plan bound to fail.

don’t count on goint 12-0 to get the cards either. i went 12-0 It scammed me and only gave me up to 9 wins. sent a ticket still haven’t gotten those rewards. In total missing up to 350-400k stubs

@BDotsAlot_PSN said in Game has gone straight flat:

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Yeah, but the timing windows are bad now and don't make sense. You hit a ball to the opposite field on an away pitch and you're late? Huh? Or early? Like that's how you're supposed to hit the ball

yet they always claim to fix the hitting engine. Pinpoint doesn't even work half the time. the whole game entirely needs to get revamped in some way.

I'm still enjoying it so far. And haven't had a single freeze off yet. Fingers crossed....

lucky you had one on ranked and it was the last out of my no hitter. I told em in the most respectful way that I aint leaving just because I threw a no no

@Skarmaen_PSN said in Game has gone straight flat:

IMO this is the worst version of the game since I started in '18. All the grinding this year for players you can eventually collect for a few really good cards is not a model I find enjoyable. It actually reminds me of the immortal grind minus the jerseys/bobbleheads/etc.

never remind me of the immortal thing because I remember playing and seeing that and just ditching that and played franchise the entire year
