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.
