I regret pre ordering the game.

It’s easily near the bottom with 18 and 20. Content is the only thing saving this game. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.

It all started when 18 dropped and the game hasn’t been the same since. Give us 17’s engine with some tweaks to glitches and exploits. Game would be perfect. And throw in a 2004 postseason Beltran for free too!

Like I don't even know where to start to explain it. I fcking hate it, not even joking. I feel like previous years had their obvious flaws but this game is outright unplayable 9 out of 10 games due to my location. I either get matched up with people from the US or with Koreans/Chinese/Japanese people. I can swing as soon as the pitch leaves the hand and still be late on a mediocre fastball. It's awful.

People ask me why I haven't been playing RS this year. Well that's the reason. I rather dance on legos 8 hours a day than play a single game of this mess.

Okay rant over, I got my 97 Chapman so time to kick this game back to the curb where it belongs.

My man Raes does not miss when it comes to post like this. Be prepared to face off against people who defend the game as if Ramon pays their rent or something.

Played BR just to get the 120 point ballin pack. Won 3-0 so why am I complaining? I had 4 hits on all good swings and a few that should’ve been rewarded but it’s baseball not every swing is a tank or touching grass. Opponent has 5 hits not one of them good and all out of the zone. Do you see now? I’ll say this I never had this thought on 17 that I deserved a win or loss. If I lost it was all me and if I won it was all me, 18 and onwards is where I genuinely believe the game started this bs.

Raes we need to combine the community to bring a hybrid of 16/17 with with their strengths put together and bugs diminished.

That would be great, but the people over in San Diego are clearly not interested in that direction unfortunately.

I’m gonna have to tag in Bret Hart to put some of these devs in a sharpshooter or something.

@daddydingerz_psn said in Is online gameplay really that awful?:

I’ve been playing The Show for years and I’m not usually one to complain, but online gameplay feels more inconsistent than ever to me. Overall the game has just been yucky so far.

Have y’all liked online gameplay so far or are y’all having similar experiences?

It’s down there with 18. Thing is I like some of the ball physics as it’s better than 20 and 21. But they also brought back the magnet down the middle pitch from 20 and 18’s good/good flyouts. It’s a hybrid of the some of the worst aspects of past games. If they just fixed some bugs and exploits on 17 wed literally have the best game possible.

He finally quit, crisis averted.

Mlb the no pci homerun 21
Mlb 16 the bunt cheese
Mlb the just late be great 17
Mlb the worst game in the franchise 18
Mlb the lineout 19
Mlb the perfect pitch down the middle 20

Apparently throwing offspeed because he can’t lay off, is apparently playing scared. Anyone else been told this? I’m astonished.

Me: 27 total good swings, only 7 of them are hits. 14 are outs. 6 are foul balls.
Perfect swings are 3/4
1 walk and 1 strikeout

Opponent: 11 total good swings, 5 hits, 4 outs, 2 fouled.
Perfect swings are 1/1
2 walks and 20 strikeouts

Final score 7-6 in 10 innings.

Dude you sure your playing '22?? That sounds like something that would happen in '19-'21.

This year stick skills reign supreme.

It’s funny because someone above me said my good swings weren’t really good swings
The stuff people say on here are make me think they’re SDS bots

@jonblaze2424_psn said in Hey SDS.:

My dude, I just threw back to back GEMS giving up 1 run in 18 innings with Mussina and Jobe spotting almost anything and everything. On All Star.

It's not the game. It's you.

It most definitely can be the game sometimes. When you get 27 good swings and only 7 of them landed for hits that’s busted yet my opponent had 11 good swings and 5 for hits. Only won 7-6 in 10 innings, the game can definitely be unfair when it wants to.

@zach7153_psn said in First time ever making it to World Series level:

Something I never thought would happen finally happened in this game for me making it to the World Series in Ranked. Now if I could only figure out BR and go 12-0 that probably won’t ever happen but I’ll settle with my own little accomplishment

Congrats man. It is a great feeling especially after the tough opponents and strategies you had to employ. I’d join ya but ranked is just too sketchy for me this year, but enjoy that WS pack.

@fclonghorns_psn said in There has to be some sort of handicap or something:

MOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM The game is being mean to me again.

You really don’t like when someone has a complaint or reason to be dissatisfied? How much they paying you at SDS?

@the_dragon1912 said in There has to be some sort of handicap or something:

I think they need a complete overhaul of the feedback system. Far too many things are classified as a good hit. I think you know that probably 5 of your 6 foul balls and however many late side of good outs you had aren't actually good swings, it just wouldn't help you make your point.

But it does make my point.

Me: 27 total good swings, only 7 of them are hits. 14 are outs. 6 are foul balls.
Perfect swings are 3/4
1 walk and 1 strikeout

Opponent: 11 total good swings, 5 hits, 4 outs, 2 fouled.
Perfect swings are 1/1
2 walks and 20 strikeouts

Final score 7-6 in 10 innings.

@genopolanco_psn said in I’m sorry but this game sucks:

What else do you think sucks so I can compare what classifies as sucking to you?

You gave a freebie but I shall pass on that question.

I tried to play to it out but this game is awful. I’m constantly getting more good/good swings than my opponents 9 out of every 10 games. Yet it will be a competitive game because as soon as their first good swing connects it’s gone after many early and late jam hits. Fielding especially the infield is atrocious with the dives and fielders that are stone statues on certain plays. Honestly tried taking a break because you have to play in small doses. Their ineptitude to even just touch the game shows they given up on it. Hell even when pitching they screw you half the time with calls on the black. Call me a baby, call me whatever you want. This game is just isn’t good. Remember when they said “stick skills reigned supreme” comical.

I’m gonna assume that the 99’s that are going to come out later this year will help offset the terrible good/good swing results we’ve had so far.

5 for good and 10 for perfect. At least we’ll be rewarded somehow.
