If SDS is banning folks because of their lack of market security that's the bow on top of this great gift of a game. I can hear the Benny Hill music playing in the background now.

I tried sending you a message about how bad I felt about my win but you block messages, so I decided to pen an open letter....
It's not your fault that you ran over 1st base with your first baseman and it didn't register and it allowed me a hit. And then the next batter goes yard....
It's not your fault that with 2 outs and the game 3-2 your gold shield Peralta camped under a fly ball only to let it drop and trap it. I then put 4 runs up....
This is my virtual hug. You were never going to win that game. Ever. The programming said so. The sad part is lots of folks around here enjoy this poker machine of a game. The deck is stacked sometimes for no reason.
I just wish that Hall of Famers were usable. Instead they make fake cards into studs.
For some reason my outfielders won't break this rule.
What was the point of the beta, all the data and all our feedback if you were just going to change the game on us anyway?
I have 2 days 4hrs and 42minutes played on my profile. Every. Single. Game. Online. To say I had a feel for hitting would be an understatement. I gave Chief TKO is first loss and he's only lost 8 more. Point is I know what I'm talking about....
The timing window is completely screwed up and the outcomes are as random as ever and that's saying something after last year.
Changing the hitting engine 2 days after release is absurd. Maybe everybody was hitting wlll because most likely the people who pre-ordered we're good at the game to begin with. I've never preordered something I wasn't familiar with. Have you?
It's going to be called "Slide steps, pitch outs and pick offs: The life of a CPU pitcher when a man with 60 speed is on 1st"
Hey, SDS....ever heard of pace of play?
Way too many people are setting their date and time so you can't see the ball for 2 innings. Y'all know who you are.
@KCMahomies said in Did SDS do a major overall on game mechanics?:
Why isn't Mike Trout putting his glove up for a pop fly? Why is Shane Victorino not putting his glove DOWN for balls rolling right to him.
Why do my swim moves on slides no longer swim how they used to? Why do they always just go feet or head first, without going left/right of the bag?
Why am I an 1100 player in each of the last 3 years, but can't break 800 now? Why have I supported this game for 15 years only for this year to be the trashiest it's been since I can remember?
What incentive do I have to continue to support this game? It's unplayable in DD right now, and if I wanted a franchise sim there's plenty of cheaper options.
I've said it about a hundred times around here, but if you go watch the pre release dev tourney or ANY streams from week 1 early release you'll see that we're not playing the same game. The hit varieties during pre release we're great compared to what you see now.
My question is why change everything just 2 days after national release? Was that the plan the whole time. Have great reviews from pre release then pull the rug out from under everybody. Hitting had never been greater.
I would hate to create something over 8 or 9 months like these devs did at release and then change it all just like that.
Like WTF. Let me bang my head against the wall until the game decides when I finish.
There is a specific reason you can't see feedback in Moments and that's because what you do doesn't matter. CPU defenders making no look catches with their back turned to the infield and robbing homeruns with ease.
It's NBA Jams with a baseball. Boom-Shaka-Laka.
It's not you. I just can't see the ball. You're not good.

@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS said in Shaping up to be a big L this year.:
I don’t know, guys. I think I need to take (at least) the next month off from these forums. Make no mistake, there are some awesome dudes who post here (and several of those awesome dudes are even in this very thread!). But toxic negativity just feels like it has gradually become the default setting around here. It’s just a freakin bummer. I don’t know what else to say. It’s just depressing.
The game and the company are far from perfect. But good grief, SDS can’t do anything right in the eyes of some of their “fans.” If SDS keeps things the same, people will gripe because it’s “a copy/paste of last year’s game.” If they shake things up, people preemptively declare it an “L” a month before release.
Who knows — maybe Sets & Seasons will be the worst thing to happen to baseball since Craig Kimbrel’s facial hair. But why not just wait and see? Better yet! Why not get excited about the prospect of something new and go into it with positivity and optimism? You might be surprised to find how easy it is to enjoy things when you actually want to enjoy them.
To all the cool dudes — hopefully I’ll be back closer to launch. And I hope everyone else finds something in life they can enjoy. (Dogs are always a safe bet. Anne Hathaway movies are great. I hear good things about heroin. I’m sure you’ll all find something that’s right for you).
It's baseball man. Not Fortnite. There isn't much to do besides tighten up the gameplay and graphics.
It's clear the demographic The Show is going for these days.
MLB needs new fans. We love in a world where you can subscribe to something called MLB TV and not even be able to watch the team you actually subscribed for because of blackouts.
@DoIHearBossMusic said in Does this game seem more entertaining early?:
Maybe it's just me, but I think the game is much better when we only have silvers, golds and low diamonds to choose from. Endless 99s just don't do it for me, even if there is a variety of USABLE 99s which there typically isn't. I like the mixing and matching with low cards early on.
Playing with silver and gold LS to start has always been the best gameplay. That first week before they completely change how the game plays is great.
They seemed to have made changes that nobody asked for. Everyone wanted gameplay changes. We got a new UI and they put the same things in different spots and called it a day. Nothing new. Just things to make it feel new.
Geovanny Soto has a 99 card with 125 power. That's all I need to say. It's stupid, ridiculous and not real.
Everybody gets stats once reserved for Babe Ruth. Even for a good game in May. Make it make sense. That's all I ask.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in More 99s:
They said '99 card's, not 'cards that are boosted to a 99'.
If the cards in question are just the result of an expiring supercharge, there will be riots.
I think it’ll be nice having a card you like the whole season.
Definitely agree there. Nothing sucks more in this game than getting a card you been grinding for only to have it become irrelevant a few days later
What's irrelevant mean? That there is a better card that you gotta have? Slow n steady boss. Don't let the shiny new cards distract you.
Nothing better than sending..."GG. You got lots of pretty cards" after a tough win against a stacked lineup.
Is anyone watching San Diego vs Seattle game?
This pitch clock is a trip. It's like the game is on fast forward.

If I put 5 Tigers in my lineup why does my fielding drop?
How fake is Ramone? I thought him shedding a tear was bad. This is just cringe.
I'm here just like the guy who watches his house burn down.
All them good memories up in smoke. They killed this mode.
