SDS robbed me of my money. The online gameplay is horrendous (if you can even get in an online match). You all at SDS should be ashamed of your product. And all the streamers that continually stroke SDS off and refuse to talk about how much of a money grab this game has become is laughable. I would be fine with the game trying to take more of our money with forcing micro transactions by manipulating quicksell values to minimize the amount of stubs NMS players can make off ratings updates. I’d be fine with it, if and only if gameplay was GOOD! . Right now it’s complete garbage. Hitting engine makes NO SENSE! PERFECT pitcher input throws pitches OUTSIDE the PAR ?! What is this game? I know I’m not the only one feeling this. I’ve seen many content creators complain about the same [censored]. We all see it. These are just a couple of issues, there are many more problems that we see and it honestly reaffirms my opinion and the fact that this will be my last year on this game. I’m hoping the end of the license contract comes quick and hopefully another company can throw their hat in the ring with creating a good MLB game, because right now, it’s atrocious.

The POTM Lightning Card should be a Core captain card and able to boost The Monthly Award players, Topps Now players and other POTM Lighting cards. Change my mind

For the 4th straight year… fix them!

It’s officially here! Pay to win

MLB the Keep Terrible players in the game with bloop hits and foul balls 23

Can we get a legitimate game this time around in MBLTS22?! Online play in 21 has been trash with all the nonesense off pci hits , foul balls, bunt cheese, base running glitches & freezes. Offline play with RTTS is stale, franchise mode getting ABSOLUTELY NO love yet again And March to October is a total joke that nobody plays.
I used to love playing franchise mode for hours on MVP Baseball. I loved setting prices, upgrading my facilities and personnel. The show just doesn’t have that fun aspect to the game anymore. The RTTS and online competitive modes are meant to supplant that, but RTTS isn’t as immersive as we’d like and becomes boring. Also, the show has terrible online gameplay that just doesn’t make sense from a user input aspect & this just doesn’t cut it

SDS needs a competitor in the MLB video game simulation market. Something to keep the company trying to create well made games instead of these year to year cosmetic copy and paste MLB games we’ve been getting. It’s shame. I remember the days of having 2-3 different Sports Titles to choose from and each title brought its own unique perspective in trying to 1-up each other. Now all we’ve seemed to be getting is a cash grab game that urges you to buy the price hiked pre-orders because it allows you a “collectors edition” or special players, extra virtual loot boxes (packs ) and virtual currency.

All in all, I bought ‘22because of Ohtani & I’m hoping for the sake of this Series Title that serious changes are made by ‘23, because , unfortunately MLBTS is looking more and more like a title I would skip going forward.

Year of the “[censored] this game!”

Oof is bad

Perfect-perfect Should be a hit 100% off the time. The rest of the inputs should be a drastic drop-off. Maybe SDS could tinker around with hit rate. Maybe something like: Good 30%, just early/late 20%, early/late 15%, very early/late 3% (dinkers&dribblers).

It sucks because, live series collection rewards should be the best cards in the game. So all 3 of these cards should be at the tier level of the set collection cards. 2 out of the 3 are great cards. However, The AL Collection Big Mac Card is buns. Pretty much unusable in competitive online play. The live series is so expensive and unless you’re a streamer or want to spend hundreds of dollars on the game, it’ll take some time and stub hoarding to complete it.

Do any of you actually like or watch baseball? Do any of you actually like video games? Playing your video game makes me think none of you do at all. It’s sad. People love the cosmetic changes to the game because they’re not smart enough to realize it’s still a game with, at best, questionable gameplay. Clean it up

What the F is this moment? I power swing with home run derby, Adolis Garcia, and hit a perfect perfect flyball, off of a bronze pitcher, to centerfield and it’s an out! This game is retarded and makes no sense. What is the point of power swing?

I have multiple thoughts about the online aspects. So in my opinion, We need a universal PCI size OR universal pitch speed. One OR the other will do fine. From an online competitive standpoint, it is more of a nuisance to have to adjust stick movement AND timing when changing difficulties in game modes. Jumping from BR to events to Ranked. If I had to choose one, I’d choose universal pitch speeds across all online game modes.
To me, it makes 0 sense to have the PCI size expand with slower pitch speeds and shrink with higher pitch speeds, Especially when rng dictates the outcomes regardless of timing and PCI placement. it becomes less competitive and more simulation in lower difficulties like All-Star and below under the current settings. I enjoy realistic baseball simulation at times. However I’m only interested in realistic simulation gameplay OFFLINE ONLY. Online, we should see 100% hit rate for Perfect Perfect. Perfect hits don’t have to be Homeruns all the [censored] time, I mean we’d like to see smoked gap shots and liners through the hole. Just let us feel rewarded with our good input. It’s a VIDEO GAME! NOT real life baseball. If the amount of “good” and lesser hit types resulting in hits needs to be reduced in order for that to happen, then I’m all for it.

I know some of you fellas might disagree, but also lots of you fellas feel the same way. I just want SDS to create a great baseball game. I haven’t seen greatness since the MVP Baseball era. It’s come close, but always seems to fall a little short.
