@Blind_Bleeder the DD pregame screen will also freeze if I have my wireless turtle headphones on before the game starts up. That situation typically works after I turn my headphones off/on. Wish I never switched consoles. Xbox was suppose to be better.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X no. Hardwire with about 1GB of speed.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X last one was against a guy on same console. Turning off cross play wouldn’t make a difference.

@Blind_Bleeder definitely not my internet. I had a PS5 but switched to XBOX last year. never had issues with PS5. And I’ve never seen people with Xbox complain about it either.

This game has gone to hell. Or Xbox hardwire hardware sucks [censored]. Freezes 90% of the time I try to adjust fielding or settings in game. It’s almost 2024 for Christ sakes. What are we doing SDS?

@SupaSwaggGangsta this game sucks [censored]. SDS has let the switch players benefit the most. You can tell you’ll lose when guys are jogging around bases or p/p can’t even go over the 375 sign on a launch angle of 25. Got a bunch of Milton’s looking for staplers instead of actually fixing the [censored] game.

This game sucks lol. You’re always playing against 2 people. The opp. and system.

@ItsAmeMario64_MLBTS said in This game still sucks lol:

You don’t really think it matters if “top video game players” stopped playing do you?

No, but it will lose some following. COD is a prime example of a stale game. And add on SDS not knowing how to host a tourney doesn’t help their case either. I think once EA comes out with college football next year, it might hurt the fanbase even more.

Lost to a guy who had 3 hard hits all game. Compared to my 14. I see why prior top players stopped playing.

I may be late to the party but holy hell. I think SDS moved the sliders all the way up for computer sim. Seems like every time I sim, I have to wait and watch the computer sim 5-20 other games. So annoying.

@aaronjw76_PSN said in Two perfect pitches....:

I mean I agree it should not happen but why do you need to dashboard to save a pitcher from getting an L?

Do stats in a virtual game really mean that much to you?

the same can be said for people who complain about people dashboarding because they want the stats.

It’s simply not possible to have one player on legend & the other on rookie…Seriously, The physics could not work.

You say this with so much certainty, and yet you don't know anything. As a matter of fact, there was a bug in the game a few years back where if you adjusted the sliders manually and you were the home team, those sliders would carry over. So if you turned pitch speeds all the way down for you, you'll see meatballs. Took them a while to fix it too. Even happened in the money tournaments lol.
That being said, I'm not saying this guy is right. But for the love of God stop talking out of your a$$ if you don't know what you're talking about.

I’m actually watching a streamer now and he’s saying something about ppl on Xbox gamepass that is alluding to what op is talking about

Maybe you’re right OP

Glad I’m on ps5 with cross play off

Okay well I have no clue, but I do know that it's possible because it happened before.

Apparently gamepass users can get the show for pc

Idk anything about that bc I’m not on Xbox

That's not true. You can stream via the Cloud, but it is essentially impossible to play due to the latency. You can navigate menus and that's about it. There is no native PC version.

Na it’s true everyone is talking about it lol it’s not just one person sayin it

And most of the people saying it are well respected/known ppl in the show community

There’s other tweets as well but I didn’t post because of the language used

I’m not an Xbox user and never used gamepass so idk how any of that works

But there is Microsoft PC game pass and they are saying the Show is available on the pc gamepass and someone created some kind of hack

If one person was saying it I wouldn’t pay attention

But all of the streaming community is pretty much in agreement that It’s true

@AfterShockGamer_XBL

@IrishFist412_XBL

They wouldn’t be trying to up their views at all with these claims, especially not when you’re streaming a game with little to no content dropping in order for you to create content. As someone who is an xbox user who uses game pass I have yet to experience slower pitch speeds in higher difficulty levels.

Lol what? That makes no sense

That dude I posted doesn’t even stream

Listen man I’m just telling you what majority of them are saying including ohchev who’s pretty sensible and is not hurting for views and has a relationship with sds

And did you just say this game is hurting for content? It’s almost too much content/cards to debut

Heyna most definitely streams

And any time OhChev is losing there’s some sort of chicanery going on. I was beating him once and legit quit because all he was doing was complaining that we were playing at Date Palm and not shippet…

No dude he wasn’t losing he wasn’t even playing

Everyone in stream chats are mentioning this and his response was “yea I heard about this, if any you guys run into someone you think is doing this hack send it to me so I can send it to sds”

Like idk what’s up with you guys and you think all these people would just sit here and lie when majority of them play on Xbox themselves lol

Literally makes no sense

Last year the streamers were the ones that let us know xbox was running true 120 and ps5 wasn’t

Were they lying or making up something then too?

Like it makes no sense for them to make this up and lie about and for all of them to do it

you have to understand this is their lives/jobs lol- they literally play this game more than they do anything else throughout the day

They find out stuff that your average casual player(ppl like me and you) would never find out because it’s not that serious to us

Yes because nobody could ever know anything if they’re not a streamer lol you should probably stop taking everything they say as law because a lot of them look for anything to blame a loss on I’ve been that type of player before. Once SDS says something about then sure, until that time…

I think you just have some personal biases against streamers lol

That’s a you issue

There’s certain rules I follow in life- when people are masters of a craft and I’m interested in said craft- I listen

Like I said they ALL are aware that it is happening and have proof

But for some reason you don’t want to believe them until SDS says it- how the heck do you know sds will ever say anything about it?

Has sds said anything about freezes in their online gaming? No

Did sds acknowledge the 120 hz fiasco from last year AFTER the streamers brought it to everyone’s attention? YES

You act like I’m listening to these dudes about 401k plans or what I should do with the next 5 years of my life lol

They are people that spend an extremely large amount of time playing a video game that I happen to enjoy

So when they give news/updates about the game that they are very well versed in- well then I listen.

And honestly so does SDS

But yea I’m done with the convo- believe what you what

Makes no difference to me

I have nothing against streamers, some of them are very good friends that I talk to every day.

So, what defines a “master of the craft” is being a streamer make you one? Don’t play as much as I used to but went flawless 18 times last year, I’ve finished top 50 in ranked before, top 50 in lifetime multiple times. So I should listen to them because they’re “streamers” you should probably take things streamers say with a grain of salt instead of believing their word is law..

Literally your second sentence is exactly my point

These dudes spend more time playing this game then we are at our actual jobs

This is the reason why I listen to them when it comes to things like this

Mcgunski was right about the pci thing last year(maybe year before?) and Sds changed it- he was right and realized it because- wait for it, he plays this game an insane amount

They were right about the 120 hz thing last year and SdS listened and addressed it- you know why bc they play this game an enormous amount

So again it would behove a person to listen when they find out something new about the game- because if anyone would know it would be people that spend 60 hours a week playing a single game lol

So again all these people that spend all this time playing this game are all saying the same thing but for some reason you need SDS to address it(which they may or may not ever because their might not be a fix) or you won’t ever believe it

Like I said that’s on you bro

When I need assistance with financial advice I go to an accountant because thats their area of expertise

I think you see where I’m going with this…

There’s def some weird thing going on with Xbox and the streamers know what’s going on and they are trying to get it addressed

That’s all I got man. I’m don’t with the convo

My cross play is off and that’s all I can do

It is what it is

Lol alright dude, if a streamer says it there’s no changing your mind

Bro you’re missing the point of what I’m saying

one streamer didn’t say it, 2 didn’t, 3 didn’t… they’re pretty much all saying it

And all I was saying if you have a dude that has been a mechanic for BMW for last 10 years and you pull up with your used BMW you just purchased, that you think is a good running car, and the dude tells you it’s a lemon wouldn’t you listen to him?

Very strange to me that you ARE having such a hard time believing a group of individuals about this game knowing how much time they spend playing and how serious they take it lol

Knowing when to listen and knowing when not to is a very important but underrated skill

enjoy your day brother.

How would the PS streamers know without seeing the other player stream the game? What if they're just getting their [censored] kicked and want to find an excuse for it? I would need to actually see it live, not a clip that could be altered, instead of hearing this folk tale story.

@xGODz2539_XBL said in Why in the heck am i in all star level?:

I said above i was playing upper 500s last season cinsistently and winning also. For a level 220 player trying to rank up, it seems im playing fricking 600 and up. Annoying

Sounds like you're rusty if you're in the 200's and complaining about getting beat. Especially if you were in the 500's last year. You could be playing against people who mostly play events and may dabble in ranked seasons.

@tomivory23_PSN said in Realistic Baseball:

I know we pride ourselves on the realism of this game.

"The ball doesn't go where I want it to when I'm perfect on pinpoint!!! "

Pitchers aren't 100% accurate...just like real baseball. (Pinpoint Negated)

"My perfect perfects aren't always hits!!"

Not every squared up ball is a hit like in real baseball (perfect perfect negated)

Mlb 2022 teams were averaging 0.91 homeruns a game.....why is pretty much every run scored off homeruns in mlb the show?

Yankees were 1.56. The highest

Is it fair to say this isn't realistic? I guess the argument would be well were are "using" legends like Mickey mantle and Sammy sosa....well there not playing right now...so this automatically makes it unrealistic...and fantasy like? If it's not realistic and fantasy like that makes it a A VIDEO GAME...

Shouldn't perfect perfects be 98% hits? Since this isn't realistic baseball and a arcade like video game where u can use directional where the game squares up the ball for you by pressing one button?

For example

2+2= 4....no reward (perfect perfect)
2+2 = 7....reward (late okay)

Seems like hitting is more like " Mother may I? "

How many homeruns do you guys think you and your opponent are averaging when u play? I guess this goes with the argument there should be more variety of hits?

The SDS programmers should try out ChatGPT for coding. It will probably take their jobs in the next 5 years anyways.

Lmao says the guy not playing the game stfu

I mean if he’s played in the last few years that pretty much enough to go on

If you say so fake metacritic

To be fair, they churn out this same format every year

Lol no $4it

Sounds like you're agreeing with @raesONE-_PSN but trying to make it not sound like you're not. Very weird.

I mean, I disconnect from every game solo or co-op no matter what

I am hardwired and some guy on Reddit convinced me it was my fault and I purchased a 750 dollar nighthawk router (which I will return)

Is anyone else having an issue where they literally disconnect from every ranked game ??

LOL $750? You can get a good nighthawk on ebay for $150. If you play other online games, COD for example, and if you're not getting disconnected during gaming, it's not your router. I would also think about replacing your ethernet cable if you haven't in a long time. And one more thing, if you are signed up for low internet speed with a lot of devices connected to the router, it could be boggling it down and maybe causing the disconnects? Just some options to throw out there.

mate am i missing something? my normal router hardwired into PS5 plays beauty for me - how can ppl think the router makes the difference here?

If you have a lot of devices connected to an okay router & the lowest internet speed, your download/upload speeds will be watered down. Which in theory, can cause online games to freeze or glitch. I've never had an issue, but I'm just thinking about what could happen.

@Touchemall44_PSN said in Win trading ban:

I got the ban too. Mine is for win sharing on BR. I have not played one BR game this year. I have played one RS game.

Your game logs show multiple online games that ended in 0-0 scores. Here is an example.

https://mlb23.theshow.com/games/18903243?username=Touchemall44

I am not saying that the logs are right or wrong but games like that one have to be red flags for SDS.

Dude…Wow…I just saw my entire game log. I see the games I played against the computer. I also see a lot of 0-0 games as you stated against other real ppl. I 100% did not compete in those games. Is there anyway that they could have possibly played my team in some other game mode? I know there was a way to last year, where your team would play against other people even while you were offline. That would be only explanation. No way did I play in some of those games. This is getting more and more ridiculous.

you would think SDS would just look up the IP address and see the activity for the account. I remember last year people were playing against me in mini season that I wasn't apart of. Never got banned for it. But maybe SDS is trying out a new anti cheat system?

@Ding-Dang_Donkey said in I think pinpoint is fine:

I’ve been hearing that pinpoint is too difficult but I think it’s better that way. In the past every pitch would be exactly on the corner, I like that you have to get a perfect release to dot it, and I like seeing a wider variety of pitch locations rather than fastballs and sliders every pitch literally in the precise corner every time. IMO

The problem I have with pinpoint this year is no matter how far off you are on the numbers, the pitch tends to go down the middle. It reminds me of 2021. I can throw a fastball 97%/.006/1-2" and it will be 4-5 inches away from the PAR location.

@raesONE-_PSN said in They're releasing an update but..:

@Honor_The_Game44_PSN said in They're releasing an update but..:

In all honesty I see a lot of things that have been mentioned around here. They might be small, but there are a lot of them.

-custom uniforms
-UI blur when placing orders in the market
-pitches “jump” and land far from intended location
-player portraits
-size of CITI scoreboard
-UI speed in conquest

All small meaningless things imo, all this should've been correct at launch and never an issue to begin with. Instead we've somehow grown into thinking that it's okay for a game to release like this, which it really isn't.

The only excuse I can see them making is, it’s because they wanted to make sure gameplay was as smooth as possible. Which it still isn’t. Pinpoint is the biggest need. I don’t mind the nerfed power as much. Kinda like it.
