@marinermatt01 said in Wow, ranked seasons is playing really awful right now:

I loved how the game played for the first month or so, but now that most players have figured out the game, the last couple of weeks have been incredibly frustrating. Every pitcher I faces throws 102mph, hitting us almost impossible and every game seems to be 2-1 with 14ks for each pitcher. If someone manages to get a hit (that’s not a home run), no matter who it is, he will steal, as the catcher hesitates throwing to second every time. The decision is usually decided on who gets lucky last, whether that be an error, an RNG hanger, whatever. Reading over the forum, I see a number of players are having the same frustrations. It’s not like I’m not succeeding right now (struggled today, but I’ve been hovering around the high 700s-low 800s), the game just isn’t much fun at all. Being Being that it’s June, Is it too late in the game cycle to hope for some tuning, or is this what the game is going be?

Way better than last year then?

@wynsanity318_psn said in Have you changed how you play 21 vs 20?:

I definitely find myself playing ranked to get my 40 wins and then never touching the mode again until the new season. I ever have been big on BR since bad memories of constantly facing the people who know how to intentionally freeze off the game and the like. I do appreciate them making a BR program though in case I want to buy a card. Honestly the big difference to my gameplay is I used to love conquest but without postgame rewards now it just feels unfulfilling.

This was a big turn off for me last year as well, they ruined RS gameplay. I pretty much only play RS as I prefer to play online and would rather have a traditional nine inning game as opposed to three or six innings. I prefer to be able to select any team I choose without restriction from my card collection, since that’s the point of collecting them all. Like many of us, I’ve never particularly enjoyed moments, BR and Events have tended to be entirely focused on offense for the most part and RS is the only nine inning H2H mode available with rewards to play for. Conquest and showdowns are something to be endured for the rewards rather than appreciated and enjoyed.

I realise there are limits to the ways in which you can tweak the various modes, ultimately, it is baseball and you can only change the format so much. That said, it’s not hard to conceive of something, anything, competitive that isn’t based around moments. Showdown is just moments remixed and they’re beyond tedious to me. Now conquest is even more tedious I’d probably skip that too. I’d just be happy if they could get one mode, RS, playing right. I’m actually quite hopeful of a new game engine and total overhaul either next year or ‘23, given that there will hopefully be more players able to move on to the improved hardware by then and PS4/XB1 will be heading out. Who knows if that will be successful or not, but it’s frankly jaw dropping that the PS5 and XBSX versions of ‘21 still feature PS3 era animations and commentary lines that have barely been touched in many years.

I didn’t buy the game this year for the first time since ‘16. While ‘19 was fairly enjoyable at times and I liked the content after the terrible product that was ‘18, ‘20 was a miserable experience for me personally, almost as bad as ‘18 again. I’ve still watched streams and checked the forum here to see how things are going, but it seems to be pretty much more of the same in terms of online play.
Any improvements that have been made (PPP looks great and I’ve long been wishing for a stadium creator) are negated by the unrealistic and at times seemingly random nature of online play, which is what drove me away from the game in the first place. Until they can do something about the core gameplay mechanics, the other improvements are not going to be truly appreciated.

I’ve been in your shoes and waited til May to buy and my opinion is the game is a lot better than what is being said. It’s like reading Yelp reviews. People aren’t really posting great things, they only post the bad and are usually way over dramatic.

But what about 20 made it so miserable for you?

Well, long answer (as always with me), I started in ‘16 and I played on a crappy TV with no game mode and I obviously sucked, but I liked the concept of DD and wanted to improve, So I returned for ‘17 and did somewhat better with naturally expected improvement over time.

So ‘18 I preordered, brought a monitor because everyone assured me the TV was holding me back aaaaaand - Of course, they dropped the ball. In the sense that it was an awful slow pitch game where everyone threw low off speed and you just popped up regardless, plus content was totally terrible and tedious. I wasn’t very happy, but given that the previous two games had been excellent, I figured it could be an unusually bad year, an outlier for the franchise. ‘19 seemed to confirm that, with everything from gameplay to content, while still far from perfect, vastly improved and headed in the right direction.

‘20 then, was expected to be pretty well received with further improvements because “we listened to the community” and so on. It simply wasn’t. They didn’t listen to a single word anyone said and in many ways, as a “pitching guy”, if you will (I’d say I get more satisfaction from plotting to have a batter hit into a double play and successfully executing that play, or pitching a well sequenced AB that results in a strikeout than I do from hitting a 500 foot homer), it was the worst baseball game I’ve ever played. There was literally nowhere you could throw a pitch that couldn’t potentially result in a ridiculous hit or home run, which isn’t at all realistic and made me not want to play the game at all.

In addition to this, several bugs recurred at launch that had been present in the game for at least two years previously, which really hammered home just how much of a copy/paste this game is from year to year. I also thought content was absolutely awful, in the opposite manner to ‘18. There were simply too many unnecessary versions of the same player, an over saturation of 99s, most of which weren’t even close to deserved on actual ratings and for me, that diminishes the sense of achievement you get from building an elite team. They also messed up badly when planning for things like the infinite queues to buy the 12-0 rewards (Not salty, I had - And still have - them all, just shows a lack of foresight) and the fact they gave us 60 finest choice packs that contained a selection of 3 choices, ensuring pointless duplicates galore.

It was another bad year for content and gameplay and that made 2 of 3 consecutive years the game had been garbage. With MLB The Show being literally the only game I play, when it came to upgrading to a PS5 and buying the same copy/paste game with the same unrealistic batted ball outcomes and point and click hitting mechanics, I took a long hard look at myself and refused to keep on paying for what was, on the balance of all known percentages, likely to be a substandard product that wouldn’t work correctly for some weeks post launch. Believe me, I took no pleasure from being right when the early access fiasco ensued and SDS sat silent while the community erupted, but I wasn’t surprised. Because on all known form, that’s exactly what SDS do.
I’d like to hope they can bring the game back to what originally enticed me in all those years ago, the kind of game where you can’t even touch the ball online, much less win a game, but you still want to take on the challenge and improve and play. The current state of the game isn’t much different to last year and is still trending in the wrong direction for me, even with the welcome addition of PPP, hitting is still ridiculous in so many ways from the streams and videos I’ve seen.

Apparently I still feature heavily in Diamond Dynasty from what I read on here, however, everyone thinks I should be removed.

Hmmm, I didn’t buy this year because I hated the direction they went with ‘20. Seems like I made the right move if not much has changed. Sad, I miss playing baseball online and video games in general, but I couldn’t bring myself to invest substantial amounts of money on a new console in advance just to play MLB the Show, given SDS track record. Had I paid for the PS5 and preordered for early access and bonuses as usual, I’d have been really mad at myself as much as SDS. Everything’s gone pretty much as I feared it might so far with ‘21.

Yes, I agree with OP 100%. This is the main reason I didn’t buy the game this year for the first time since ‘16, swiftly followed by the fact that in game outcomes seemed totally random last year, as opposed to adhering to user input, timing and even actual physics, plus the fact I absolutely hated the content last year and the direction SDS were heading with it. None of the supposedly elite cards stood out or felt special at all, they were simply lost in a sea of crappy diamonds that were ridiculously overrated and rendered all content generic and uninteresting.

Almost everything I’ve read on the forum today has been what I’ve been thinking for the last few years. RNG/DDA over input, too many HR, Pitching and defense treated as not relevant compared to hitting which has become the entire focus of DD.

Seems like I made the right choice to avoid ‘21. Servers have been awful until very recently and it seems the core H2H gameplay is still extremely flawed and unbalanced in favour of offense. There’s still a fair amount of bugs and glitches that should have been fixed long ago and same tired commentary lines we’ve heard forever............. Sigh.

@chrohandhaivey said in SDS response:

No lie, this has been the worst experience ever. They make it a point to say their goal is to make the bosses achievable for every player, then they launch with setting the xp way too high for the amount of xp given, and decide to give double xp too late when the average player gets consistently screwed by the server crashes so they won’t be able to catch up. I’ve worked as hard as I can to catch up, but I have an hour or two per night tops for gaming (I’m a teacher, coach soccer, and have a wife and toddler). Then there’s many nights like tonight when I spend the majority of my available time playing a long play vs. cpu against San Diego for the player program, just to lose out on the 10k+ xp and the program progress due to server issues. So my entirety of my available gaming time tonight was lost and gained me nothing even though I spent it playing the game.

And rather than be a responsible company and take actions and communicate with the consumers, they’ve gone dead silent. Unfortunately, SDS would rather cover their eyes and ears, just cruise on ahead without caring, and let the epeeners do the talking for them (“I should’ve had 6.8m xp and 4 99 overalls by now if they didn’t steal my xp path bro, it’s not hard. I’ve put 413 hours into the game and completed every possible bit of content available, stop whining!”).

Honestly, it’s the flat worst that I’ve ever seen a company react to an atrocious launch with many awful decisions (and I was there for the original Final Fantasy XIV launch....). Given how nothing has been addressed and I have no hope of being able to finish out this program in time with these nightly issues, I’ve lost complete faith in SDS.

They made The Show 20 so good last year and we may be witnessing now the reason why they just went all out for the fans last year. I don’t know if it will ever be the same or CAN ever be the same. Maybe the move to other systems will ultimately ruin the game. I hope not but month 1 hasn’t been a good showing for SDS.

‘20 was hot garbage, if not for ‘18 it would easily be the worst version of Diamond Dynasty ever. The thing that annoys me is that these issues occur and in many cases recur each year. SDS always takes the same line of seeming to do nothing or close to nothing while mostly remaining silent except for a few generic prepared statements on social media that explain nothing.

The game is a limited time offering, which is really only designed to be relevant for 8-9 months. When 2-3 months are taken away with server errors and tinkering with gameplay from patch to patch, it’s unacceptable to me.

Hi Collin, I didn’t buy the game this year for the first time in 5 years. As a previously loyal customer who loved DD and would play thousands of games, invest hundreds of hours and of course, hundreds of dollars into the game each year, I was so disenchanted with the online gameplay, terrible content and recurring issues every year, I walked away from the game I loved and devoted the majority of my free time to.

I just came to say that nothing I’ve seen from SDS or the game this year has made me regret my decision so far.

Also, I won, sure the game was closer than it needed to be but I won ‍️

That’s good, but seriously, I hate that the game is moving away from simulation, you’re telling me you’ve never gotten a very early hit. Yeah, they are very annoying, but it’s just something you deal with, thank you for your time.

Simulation is a bad thing.. go play ootp if you want sim. In an online video game User input should be the most important factor by far.

Simulation as in realistic, not me watching the game play itself

I know exactly what you mean, sim and realism is a bad thing and takes away from user input. You know what’s not realistic? Me hitting .330 overall through 400 online games last year or me hitting .460 with finest bellinger through 400 at bats, that’s not realistic. So what happens then? Simulation factors will take away from my input to make numbers more realistic.

You’re not actually hitting a bat with a ball, just playing a video game that simulates you doing so. If the whole thing is inescapably a simulation, at least let’s have a realistic one. I’d guess if the game accurately simulated bat on ball physics and didn’t feel like every single game was played on the moon, you wouldn’t be hitting .460 with Bellinger over a significant statistical sample size. Let’s be honest here - If you’re the kind of guy who chooses Shippet every game and home hunts, you’re quite happy with simulation factors influencing outcomes in game anyway.

I avoided Shippett as much as possible, miss me with that, I’ve played and beaten you multiple times before.

Quite probable, but did you have good input?

Yup, you’ve even asked me multiple times for tips on how to get better

That was a flippant answer, I was being tongue in cheek. That said, my point remains - I’ve no idea how this game is supposed to be fun when it’s designed in such a way that any pitch in any location can be hit hard, or even pulled. It’s totally unrealistic. You may believe that simply placing the PCI in the correct spot and swinging with good timing entitles you to a hit, as that is the correct way to reward “good user input”. I say, if the pitch is in a certain location and executed well, even if you do make contact, it should never be a home run and rarely a hit, as in the example I have previously given. It’s not about detracting from user input, it’s about making a game that adheres to real life bat and ball physics, an area in which the show frequently fails to deliver, which frustrates me personally more than anything.

This game is designed to be 80/20 in favour of the hitter, which is pure stupidity in a game where the greatest players barely succeed 30% of the time at the plate. It’s not because they made a game where user input is king that you can hit .400 with Bellinger through 400 AB. It’s because they made a trash unrealistic game that is unbalanced in favour of hitting at the expense of pitching and defense. It’s because even if a pitch is a foot outside and breaking away, you can pull it out for a home run. It’s point and click, like CoD baseball.

Good luck to everyone playing this evening and this weekend. Having 3 games worth of BR stuff either poof or not register is enough for me to realize that it's just not worth it right now.

Peace out.

Wow. I've seen you on this board multiple years and never once have you been this mad.

You usually defend this game.

@SDS don't you think it's pretty bad when a core player and supporter isnt playing your game?

That’s what I thought too. Then again - I used to play every single day for hours and practically live on this forum and I didn’t even buy the game this year. I think they’ll lose a lot of the long time players, but gain new blood regardless. They new guys who don’t know the servers are frequently appalling every single year will assume the issues are a one off due to multi platform, cross play, global pandemic or something else and argue that it’s to be expected. They’ll get some free packs for the inconvenience and be satisfied with a free diamond pull. Having not been around when the game was competitive online and you really had to earn diamonds for your squad, they’ll presume all the RNG and sparkly cards will seem pretty normal. The player base will evolve with the game, even if it’s all trending downwards. I’ve seen numerous people defending SDS on this very forum, even after the absolute debacle that’s been the launch so far.

With all the server issues, lost XP, lost stats, cards going missing, stubs going missing, the After Game roulette being taken out of Conquest without explanation, and Inning Programs expiring; nothing less than a restitution package consisting of 25K in stubs, 2 42 Packs, and a 50pk bundle would be worth it.

20 standard pack bundle and 11k stubs is the very most you’ll get IMHO, but what good is anything if you can’t get into DD to use it? In no time, the most desirable cards in the game will be superseded by newer, flashier versions and become largely irrelevant anyway. If I’d paid for the early access and extras, lost my inventory and stubs and wasted two solid weeks of my life, they could give me Trout and I’d still feel salty about it.

I honestly wonder why people are complaining so much, apart from the server issues. Those issues will be fixed eventually, give them some time to make it right. Other than that, this game plays so much better than 20, better than 19 and those of us who played 18 know that this game is a godsend compared to that game.

Does it? I’d probably trust your opinion more than anyone on here. Almost grabbed an Xbox today (would purely be to play MLB really) but didn’t trust the game not to be a slugfest with 18-15 scores like last year. Worth £250 just to play ‘21?

Its still a slugfest I guess lol. But the game has vastly improved in many areas. You're not playing at all at the moment?

Edit: pitching actually exists now, so I guess not AS much of a slugfest. You can actually dominate pitching if you're doing it right.

Nah I sold my PS4 last year, I only ever played the Show and I came to realise I hated ‘20 almost as much as ‘18, just for different reasons of course. I had intended to take a short break and then grab a PS5 ahead of this years game, but with the delayed release, console shortages and long silence from SDS before any pre launch announcements, I just lost any hype I had for ‘21 and got used to not gaming. I was thinking that the launch would go well, gameplay would be overhauled at least somewhat and the shiny new legends would be enough to draw me back in, but that was never a realistic expectation given SDS track record, was it?

From the few streams I’ve watched and reading the general tone of the posts online, even setting the constant server issues aside, as they likely won’t affect me by the time I do make my mind up to buy - or at all, if I choose not bother returning! - I get the impression not much has changed from reading between the lines. There’s also the chance everyone will say “go for it, this year plays great!” Only for SDS to change everything with a patch, I suppose.

The risk of patching is always there, but I'm definitely happy with the product for the first time since 17, server issues aside. Lots of things have changed for the better in my opinion. I'm enjoying the game which I haven't in a long while lol as you are very well aware of.

Yeah, that sounds like a huge difference. Guess I’ll wait for a few more patches, then maybe the game will be working pretty good or totally broken again.

Alomar's plaque will remain on display in Cooperstown, the institution said in a statement on Friday.

'The National Baseball Hall of Fame was shocked and saddened to learn of the news being shared today about Roberto Alomar,' the Hall said in a statement.

'When he was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers' Association of America in the Class of 2011, Alomar was an eligible candidate in good standing. His plaque will remain on display in the Hall of Fame in recognition of his accomplishments in the game, and his enshrinement reflects his eligibility and the perspective of the BBWAA voters at that time.'

That could technically be enough to allow his card to remain in the game, but SDS and MLB probably won’t want to be associated with him going forward.

Patience guys! They will make things right with accts i promise, but game fix comes first. Last thing they want is to find out patch didn't cause new problem. Plus they are not EA. They probabally only have 6 or 7 support techs so give them space to do things right.

Yeah, crazy that they’d launch the game for four times as many platforms and expect the exact same amount of staff that have failed to handle issues in timely fashion previous years to suffice. I agree with you that they are very shortsighted and fail to correctly plan in advance for extremely obvious issues that are almost certain to arise.

You already know what the problem is, and you already know they’re working on it. The people who post these “waah talk to us SDS :(“ posts only want to hear if they’re going to hand out a free ten pack or some stubs for the inconvenience.

It’s bs that we get these overloaded server issues so often, but we all keep buying the game on release date so until they take a hit financially for it, nothing will change.

I didn’t buy it this year. Doubt it made any difference whatsoever.
