I got The Show 24 on PS Plus too, so it worked out fine since I didn’t have to spend any money. I wouldn’t pay for a broken game like this, though. I'll prefer playing pure baseball so I don’t care about the card mechanics or features aimed at getting kids to spend their parents’ money.

(I do think Professional Baseball Spirits graphics and animations look like straight cheeks though.)

Yeah, I don't get certain peoples excitement for that game. It does not look that good to me at all.

I'm sure neither of you owns the game, and you're judging based on what you see on YouTube, with videos showing downgraded graphics and low resolution. But in reality, what truly shines in this game is the gameplay itself.

In The Show, you see the same plays repeated over and over again. Ground [censored] straight to third base, easy fielding—there's no excitement, no challenge. You don't even have to work for it. You don't really field the ball; it just mostly goes straight to the glove. The park feels small and cramped. It's completely different.

In the other game, the field feels huge, and you can make big plays, exciting plays, things you simply can't do in The Show. In The Show, everything is too easy—hit the ball well, and it's either a fly ball or a ground ball, right into the glove. You don't even need to field the ball. It's absurd. The animations are always the same, repetitive and boring.

Now, we're talking about a game like MLB The Show, which is heavily scripted. The system already determines what's going to happen, unlike a game that gives you the chance to showcase your skills. A game where you're the one making great plays, fielding well, and thinking quickly.

MLB The Show makes elementary mistakes that you never see in the major leagues. They try to present the game as realistic, but there are plays that have nothing to do with what happens in real baseball. The players behave and react like fools sometimes. The reactions are slow, like we're playing with a little league team.

This is supposed to be a major league game, not a little league one. The difference between these two games is huge—completely different experiences.

Are the mods still here? Time to close a thread I guess?

Free expresion dude. A right that can't be broken.
I'm the voice of millions of person that brought the game but are in disagree with the mechanics in this game.

maybe … but this thread is done since post#1, so - like in any forum - it can be closed …

Just don't read it and stop been gossip.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it is not right. We paid for the game. We deserved better. They sold us a game with broken mechanisms.

What does it matter what console I play on? All I said was that SDS needs to lock this forum

That looks weak. You called me drunk but you can't handle the situation now.
Didn't I told you don't disrespect to be crying later? You are already crying.

Anyway, I just want to play against you. I want to see what kind of player you are and why are you defending the game that almost everybody is not satisfied with but a bunch of newbies.

I'm on PS5 by the way.
Pretty sure you only care about cards like the other newbies that turned this game into a pocker game and do not care much about the real sport.

@sbchamps17_NSW said in Good News. Another Dev will be taking Over. SDS is may going bankrupt by 2025:

Hopefully they will close it on Monday or whatever day their back in office

You sound desperate. Did I touched your feelings? In which platform you play?

Looks like Nintendo

What in the world are you talking about? Are you drunk? If you don't like the game then you don't have to play it no one is twisting your arm to play it

️ Who is disrespecting who?

@sbchamps17_NSW said in Good News. Another Dev will be taking Over. SDS is may going bankrupt by 2025:

I agree this guy is telling lies and being rude to everyone in here

You jumped in my post disrespecting and now I'm the bad guy? You called me drunk when I don't drink no even wine for years, just because I was expressing myself and talking about scientific studies from games that tend to unfairly frustrate players.

No dude, start reading all over again and tell me.
I'm free to express myself and millions of ppl that are not in forums but feels the same.
1.9 out of 5 satisfaction tells you anything?

Good then don't buy the game, no one will miss you. You seem to be the only one who has a problem with this game. I've been playing this game game since mlb 22 and it's just been getting better every year and I will continue to buy it when it comes out

Hahaha. No wonder. You are new to this and you're talking like you're important in this forum? Hahaha.
I have been playing for long years since the release from the first.
Man, I'm not wasting my time with rookies.

Dont like my post? Dont come here to reply on it. Dont disrespect just to be crying later.

Obviously either your drunk or Santa wasn't nice to you this year. There is no proof that SDS is going bankrupt so unless you have actual proof stay off everyone's back

A grown man doesn't need Santa little girl. Just go back to play with your dolls and don't reply to my post anymore.

Then your obviously drunk and don't know what your talking about, but again please give us proof that SDS will be going bankrupt but if you can't that don't bother commenting on something that you have no proof of

Due to my English limite, my title had a mistake. I was trying to say, It may go bankrupt.

What about everything else? Am I mistaken? Many people are complaining about this game.

You should read studies about games that tend to unfairly frustrate players. The information is out there—look it up.

On the other hand, people like me won't buy or play this game until it's free. Over time, everyone will open their eyes and see that another developer is doing better. Just like MVP stopped selling, this one will too.

The numbers speak for themselves:
1.9 out of 5 satisfaction rating.

Yeah I don't know about that It's MLB the show the greatest game of all time absolutely not is it the worst game of all time no probably somewhere in the middle is it perfect definitely not is it the best baseball game we've had in many many years probably with an many problems because it does. I think they need to refocus their resources into different areas of the game and stop focusing so hard on diamond dynasty and focus more on gameplay because if you look at the baseball game from Konami that game plays amazing and looks amazing and they still have their card game but they also have their ducks in a row which I think MLB the show is current time doesn't they don't know where to focus because I think currently the leadership is a little bit at a focus and needs to be realigned or reimagined but again this is my opinion you can disagree with it if you like

Yep. In the middle. But only because It is our only choice.
I will always prefer MVP franchise but they stoped going. Now we have not other choice but it can change soon.

@sbchamps17_NSW said in Good News. Another Dev will be taking Over. SDS is may going bankrupt by 2025:

He's going to disagree with everything that everyone has said so don't bother. SDS will most definitely NOT go bankrupt so don't believe him on that either because he has yet to state where he got his information from

1.9 out of 5 and I'm the wrong guy?
Yeah right. You just blind.
I agree with the previous guy too.

Lol wtf. I think your TDS is leaking into your video game world

This game is taking a lot time of your life. You not only play the game. You are also taking the time to be here reading my post and gossip.

@chekua_PSN Show us on the Coach Doll where the game touched you.

Yall like games that make the losers to become winners. Only unskilled dolls players like it.

Most audiences rate this game at 1.9 out of 5.

Are they all wrong?

Contrary to this,
Professional Baseball Spirit rating is 4 out of 5.

One guy wins one guy loses , that's how competition works. One guy is going to be frustrated, it's up to that individual to work through it .

Yep. But the more skilled guy should be the one winning.

When my timing is good, perfect, should I be getting easy outs like fly and ground [censored]?

When my opponent timing is very late, too early, should him be getting homers and hits? Is that right?

Do you like games in where the losers win? That's how should it be?
I'll keep saying the same.
There is something wrong with this generation.

My pitching and timing is one of the best in this game. So I know what I'm talking about.

@Capt-Clutch-2K24_PSN said in Good News. Another Dev will be taking Over. SDS is going bankrupt by 2025:

1. Wheres your proof that another Dev is taking over and that SDS is going to be bankrupt within a month?

2. Tell us you lost; without telling us you lost.

There are games in development that haven't been announced.
But Professional Baseball Spirit is just another game that is taking over and may soon come to USA.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in Good News. Another Dev will be taking Over. SDS is going bankrupt by 2025:

I went to exactly one Chicago White Sox game this year.

They won.

Just like in real baseball, sometimes the worse team wins. Get over it.

You are comparing 2 teams of professional players.
I'm talking about ppl that have never play the game or barely play. How can they beat 2 out of 5 to a person that have played for years and competed vs the best?

Imagine a mayor league team getting beated frequently by a AA team.

2 way different apples.

Imagine never going to college but having a degree like ppl that spent years in college.

This generation is kind of weird.

This game was made with the concept of frustrating people by lowering their abilities to make it "competitive" for slower players. However, frustration does not create fairness—it creates stress and, over time, can harm mental and physical health.

Scientific studies have shown that prolonged frustration can lead to increased stress levels, emotional imbalance, and even contribute to serious issues like anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular problems. What was supposed to be entertainment becomes a source of harm.

A game should reward skill, challenge players fairly, and provide a sense of accomplishment—not impose artificial limitations that lead to exasperation and negativity. When a game deliberately frustrates its players, it crosses a line, turning what should be an enjoyable experience into something that impacts well-being.

We need to demand games that respect their audience, focus on fun and balanced competition, and celebrate skill development. Baseball—real or virtual—deserves better than this.
