I'm an xbox player, really looking forward to having the Show 21 on Series X. I'm expecting to loose most, if not all online games for quite awhile. The main reason is because I'm in UK. No baseball over here so big learning curve ahead. Disadvantages, don't know players, ie best to pick for team. Best pitchers to start with, batting line up, and best pitches to use. BUT I can't wait to get stuck in and give it my all. Given time I will learn. And I will never quite if getting hammered online. Just don't be abusive if players from UK do stuff you think is wrong, we are learning the game, give us time. Cheers guys.

Devs, can you please fix the issue with equipment changes not staying saved more than 2 games. I am playing RTTS mode and I like the baggy pants look and after 2 games it goes back to high sock as if it didn’t stay saved as Baggy look. It just gets annoying always having to go back in and change it all the time. Thanks.

Same here, use two batting gloves, sun glasses, and they aren't there when the player comes into bat after a couple of games.

How do I know I’ve been selected to the text test? I have the Xbox insider app installed, and it says I joined. But not sure if this means I have been selected and I’m ready to go when the beta drops? Or how does it work?

The show 21 is showing in my xbox insider app, and says I've been accepted to trial the game.

Yeh usually on here, but it wasn't posted on here this time, so I wasn't aware of a shutdown. I always check on here. I don't do twitter.

I've always seen it on here, so that's were I've been checking. It's the forum for the game, so this is were I would expect to be informed of a shutdown.

Brilliant, server maintenance just as I am in the middle of opening a 2 diamond player pick, thanks alot guys, YOU OWE ME !!!

They tweeted out HOURS before maintenance time frame that it was coming. They owe you nothing for your own idiocracy...

I don't use Twitter, I use this site which is the forum for the game. It has been on here constantly when maintenance was going to happen, this time it wasn't announced on here. Nuff said!!

I can confirm that they now show up in the game. It's a winner .!!!

@novalusion_psn said in We Asked For This?????:

SDS figured last year people who played all had over a million stubs. They made a slight adjustment this year to make it harder to get all the players one could want by only having servers active for 4hrs a day.

@wdillingham24_mlbts said in Game Freezing:

All day today i've been having issues where the game freezes. Happens randomly in the menus, sometimes in diamond dynasty, sometimes in RTTS. Anyone else had these problems? I haven't seen this problem ever on a digitally downloaded game. It almost reminds me of back in the day (years ago that I had this issue) if you had a disc that was scratched

Not had freezing, just game going to a black screen and having to shut game down.

@crash447_xbl said in XBOX Series X Version Unplayable????:

So let me start off with a few things...#1 I am not a huge gamer, so I may not always use the correct terminology. #2 I know I need this game on a PS5...but there is the stock issue as the biggest factor. So here is the deal...

I got the game at launch and didn't even realize it but for the first month I had been playing the XBOX One Version...for some reason my Series X grabbed that one. I switched over to the Series X version when I realized it and have always felt the game was very glitchy (not smooth)...framerate seems to be all over the place and seems to be worst when trying to line up the PCI online.

My son has a PS5 and the PS5 version...whenever I go into his room to do something for him it seems like a completely different game. Sometimes because of his schedule he will ask me to do his daily moment and stuff like that and it just plays so much better and hitting is so much easier. The other night he wanted to try out some of my cards (on Series X) that I have that he doesn't have yet. He just kept saying "Dad, something is wrong...this isn't right. That ball would go out of the yard on PS5... Pinpoint shouldn't be this hard....that shouldn't happen..." He kept playing and I went to bed. The next morning he said, "I need to try and find a way to get you a PS5, because that isn't fair."

So...I started messing with settings and really didn't have much luck. Eventually I turned off 4k on my Series X, but it only helped a little. Then I tried the Xbox One version...it was about the same. The best combo I have tried so far is the XBOX One version with 4K disabled. It was noticeably better as even things like moving through the marked was smoother. This morning I also switched to pure analog hitting from zone when playing online, because it just still seems completely out of wack when trying to lineup the PCI.

I guess I am just curious if Series X users are having the same issues and if you have found other solutions. It just seems crazy that I would have to play the XBOX One version and turn off 4k to even get to somewhat of a starting point.

Been playing on series x since game launch, never had a problem.

@kwolves21_mlbts said in Rtts keeps crashing:

I am having similar issues as well. Sometimes I can play a full game no issue, but then when I advance to the next game in a series it will crash as I’m batting or during a replay after an at bat. It’s made RTTS virtually unplayable for me as I like to advance to the next game in a series and I can’t do that now. I am on Xbox series X

Same thing happening to me.

@buddyhightower_xbl said in Constant Freeze then Crash after 1.05 Update:

Is it only PlayStation users having issues?

No, I'm on Xbox and game screen gone blank during games 3 times, had to restart everytime. Had to restart Xbox once has it shut down when game screen went blank. It ain't good.

@ih8liberals5849_xbl said in Can't connect after update and I know why for xbox:

It's either xbox series x issue or mlb and the reason why is the update I believe. So when I got on after work I clicked on game and said needs update 1st so I updated and couldn't get on even after powering off the Xbox on n off over 10 times so i went online to check out what the update was even about and that's where I found it I believe. So mlb says the update for xbox is version 1.45 but when I go on my xbox under MANAGE IN MLB it says it's version 1.0.0.42 wtf, so I powered it down again couple of times to see if it would correct but it hasn't and there isn't a upload I checked and it says it's up to date with the latest version so I bet that's why I can't log in so who's the the DBAG on this mlb or xbox????

I didn't have a problem with the game after the update, I did the update in game on series x.

I am in Denmark, but I am from The Netherlands. 4 a.m. PT is 1 p.m. local time. In the UK it is one hour earlier ATM not 2 hours.
So if the maintenance started already now... they started early.
My complaint wasn't about them starting early with the maintenance, it was they do maintenance every time in the middle of the here and before they do the maintenance, servers also don't work

4am Pt in UK is 11am, and it went down at 11am or just a bit before . So it was as said. But I agree it is always geared around USA, but SDS is in USA so its to be expected really.

Amazing. Another server maintenance at 4 am, which is at 1 pm where I live. I got up early so I could play before the maintenance... but of course, with 2 hours to go to the maintenance, the servers are down already.
I guess I won't get to play today again

4am is 11 uk not 1.

Yes but Europe is not only UK. Where I live, 4am is 1pm... believe me

Well it went down at 11 which is when it said it was going down, so you've got your times wrong somewhere. Which country are you in.
