Lazy. No reason to have 2 SS in a row. Just another tone deaf thing done by SDS

Maybe we can get an out of position live content stream where we get new people talking and the normal talking people are quiet.

This has been discussed on r/mlbtheshow and I think I'd like to bring that discussion here to hopefully catch a devs eyes.

Obviously we all make our wish lists for 2022, and I think giving us the ability to restart a moment at any time is one that is on many players lists. To explain- if my moment is to hit one HR with Joe Carter and I pop up the first pitch so I know I'm gonna restart. Instead of waiting until I either get a "try again" screen or the fielders throw it in and double pump the ball 5 times, why can't I just pause and restart immediately?

So my questions: Is this because of how moments is embedded with player locked RTTS model game play? Similar to why during AL pitcher moments do I have to bat with them? Doesn't that bother any of the devs in a "this isn't reality" sort of way? Allowing moments to be a stand alone mode with DH enabled seems like a solution. Or is this a limitation of the programming?

OR is this an XP issue? I know you get a small amount of XP for even grounding out or striking out in moments. So can we not restart whenever because it has to register the XP earned?

Finally- yes I know we're talking about a very minor amount of time spent waiting for the fielders to gently toss the ball back to the pitcher before we can restart. So if your first reaction was to comment about that, this post isn't for you and I don't need to hear that here. I get it. But it's something that is a QoL thing that I think would be nice if it was looked at for 22.

lol How've you been Ramone?

It's clear at this point that they either don't care or don't know how to fix it. The BARE MINIMUM is to say "we're aware of this and are looking into it." Their refusal to do that speaks volumes.

You will hear from them soon as the 2nd inning "live content" is promoted. New cards, packs, programs, moments and maps. No mention of issues or problems connecting with or tracking progress on said "live content" will be made however.

You know darn well if you've watched the Live Streams that Ramone, Luis and whoever is there will make an off-handed remark about the servers to try and be funny. Plus they won't dare show their faces on a live stream until this is all settled out.

oh that seems like a bad idea. Probably need to disable the chat

Did they feel bad with how lame that pack is?

I really wonder what demographic section of people they are trying to allure with all these new series of cards?

Tween girls who want pictures of "hunky guys".

So ... Ashley?!?

Yeah! Let's gooooooooooooo

Why does it feel like SDS isn't even excited about this.

Oh just you wait until the live stream!

@TubaTim90 you're right, but do you not understand this is a change from their business model from years past? They make things less consumer friendly and you're mad that people are upset about it? Cmon dude

@SaveFarris_PSN Amen to this one. I know I talked [censored] about this, but compared to to the glaze fest we get now it looks incredibly professional. I am incredibly annoyed by the particular person who talks the most during the live streams.

There are still people who haven't gotten that email. Not sure why this is hard. You're really good at sending emails when it involves something I have to buy, but not when it's a free thing
