Hey SDS I know 25 is dead and buried but this thread has to go with it. This is sickening and an embarrassment. Bury this thread never to be seen or heard from again. PLEASE!!!!!!!

I read a lot of topics game is trash, servers are trash etc., etc. I don't get it, some people act as if this game should be perfect. One thing to remember the people who created this game aren't perfect, nobody is perfect in this world, so that means unperfect people make unperfect games with flaws, and quirks. Can online play be frustrating, yes it can be but I can go on a 4-5 game losing streak with my players bats that are no different than a wet noodle to winning 4-5 games in a row hitting perfect perfect homeruns. You win some you lose some you go on to play the next game. This isn't real life it's a video game.

TBH, I think SDS has done good job with content this year. The play it back mini season is an amazing grind. Keep cycling it, it's basically infinity stubs. A good way to complete collections, to which I have read people complaining that they can't complete collections because it's too expensive
So SDS is trying help everyone out with that. It doesn't seem to me that they are all that money hungry if they are giving you a way to earn as many stubs as you would want. Play the game, have fun and remember no team has ever gone 162-0 in baseball why should we expect to that in this game. And if people did then they would be complaining it's to much like an arcade.

One last thing the wet noodle bat some of the best players in baseball go through slumps like they're swinging a wet noodle. Why not it be the same in a baseball video game that's supposed to simulate real life? Has to be more frustrating for a ballplayer going through that in real life. I reckon it could be just as frustrating if someone dumps hundreds or thousands of dollars of real money in this game. Is that SDS's fault for the buyers remorse?

I am actually believing that they increased the difficulty offline too. You have cpu pitchers on rookie and veteran on play it back mini seasons painting corners and also pitchers that can't find the zone.

Yeah, I agree. Gameplay sucks, I hope '26 will be better, but I would be a fool to hold.my breath on that. Graphics people I get what you are saying but I can live without the graphics it's the gameplay I can not. I mean I score 25 runs in a mini season game and the very next game it's a struggle to score 2 runs and eek out 4 hits but the cpu pitcher throws 10 straight outside the zone and plunks me 3 times, with perfect perfect fly outs to the warning track to centerfield with Finest Schwarber, Raleigh and '26 cover Judge. Inconsistent bad gameplay. Hopefully they are going to do what they say are they going to do and fix the it. Everything else is immaterial to me.

Awesome work! I actually come here first to get any breaking news on free agency and trades. I also like the commentary, it's a nice touch!

I personally I got lost in that run on paragraph and still haven't found my way out of it.

My suggestion go after the Live series collection first. It'll be cheaper. Plus the Beltran rakes! Will probably continue to do so until the end

I'm fan of 9 inning mini seasons, if you don't want to play 9 innings then play 3 you have the option.

As far as the lady that was hired , I can personally careless who they hire as long as they can fix the gameplay issue. Asian, white, black, Latino or otherwise if they can fix the gameplay in this game they'll be a hero in my book.

said in Ah, yes. The magical 6th inning buff / nerf.:

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said in Ah, yes. The magical 6th inning buff / nerf.:

Wait. You gave up 5 runs in one inning with CC and still kept him in the game until the 9th inning?

Pretty sure thats on you

I would have given the hook after the homerun.

I never quit. When I am down early I always remind myself that's why baseball is 9 innings anything can happen. Like yesterday evening everything I was hitting was good contact, sometimes perfect-perfect line outs first to mid part of the game and I was getting pretty frustrated. I started to abandon my game plan loss my timing and started to swing at everything got down by 3 runs. The 7th inning I was still down by 3 runs, I decided to be patient again 1st batter an 8 pitch good timed line out, 2nd batter laced a double into left field, 3rd batter a 2 run bomb to make it 3-2. 4th batter a perfect-perfect line out to right center. 5th batter a 6 pitch walk and the my opponent quit. He was still winning with 2 innings still to play. That's why no matter how frustrating this game gets and no matter how many perfect perfect line outs or meatballs down the middle that have good timing and my bat turns into a wet noodle I take the win or loss but with that I also take my XP and PXP progress too.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN

I unfortunately got pulled in and regret that I allowed myself to. Oh well you live and you learn. Still this thread needs to be terminated.

Everyone have a great day, it's a beautiful day in my neck of the woods.... finally. The NCAA tourney is full tilt and so is the WBC. ️

Ummm....I dont think the OP's objective was to slam SDS.

The moments kinda suck. One of the moments to hit 1 homerun, I was walked on 4 straight pitches, try again

@sbchamps17_NSW said in Okay, I see you SDS:

@DrBear100_PSN pull the trigger I did in August and it was the best thing I ever did because Beltran is 100% worth it already got him to P5

I'm pulling the trigger, I'm waiting to how low Judge will get. He is under 300k last time I checked.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL said in Really don't understand??:

People have the personal right to rebuke in whatever manner they choose and you are in no position to decide that with the sole exception of how you choose to do so, or if you choose to do so. You are showing some nerve thinking yourself qualified or authorized to tell other people how they choose to voice their complaints or feedback to a company.

Your right I'm not authorized in how people should act. It's called respecting others which should be common sense. People don't have a personal right to rebuke with being mean spirited to others because they may not see it the same way as you do. I see this game through a lens of spending less than $100 on this game as I am sure others see this game completely different than I do because they spent thousands on this game but it still doesn't give those people the right speak like they do. Having the vitriol that some people on here have towards SDS is nothing short of counterproductive. If those people can't stand the game then leave, find another game to play and spend your money on with, that will get their attention more than cursing at them. But don't comeback later and go on a bitter tirade because nothing changed when nothing has changed for the last several years. That's insanity. I'm sure constructive respectful criticism will get the ear of SDS quicker than what's being posted all of the time. The profanity laden rants I'm sure they roll their eyes at and move on. I would if I was them.

@Dolenz_PSN said in Really don't understand??:

There are definite issues with the game. Many complaints are valid and people who have purchased the game have the right to criticize.

What I don't understand is the vitriol, insults to SDS and other players, and name-calling that many of the most relentless complainers resort to.

That is exactly why I posted what I posted. The vitriol is way out of control. The point of my post is it's just a video game. Before online play and gaming forums if you didn't like the game you would move onto to another. I think if people are getting that worked up over a video game great, feel free it's a waste of time imo but the vitirol is unnecessary. It's not changing anything not at this point in this game's life cycle and those complainers points, which some are very valid, have been lost on SDS's ears and everyone else's ears because of the vitriol. Maybe it's time for those complainers to find a new game or past time. I am not an apologist but I see it is for what it is a video game. If I get frustrated with the game I turn it off and go lift weights or throw the baseball around with my son's. These complainers that are spitting out the vitriol don't have to play the game. Constructive respectful criticism yes not the unrespectful nastiness.

I got mine!!! Trevor Rodgers!!! Now the Orioles just need to extend his contract.

I just got through my first forever mini season, first Chase pack was Ian Happ and everything else was high 80's Live series. Can't complain.

@lhubison58_xbl

Oh how I remember those days. My brother, our friends and I would get my dad's tennis balls and use them for baseballs remember feeling like Jose Conseco hitting nukes.

It was all about that Griffey Jr RC and the Score Barry Sanders RC those were the 2 I chased hard for.

@teak2112_mlbts

I get everything you say. Someone like Puckett most people who play video games I feel will be like, oh cool, Kirby and play him not stopping to think about any allegations just because he is a legend. Someone like Rose okay, I get it there is obviously way too much baggage with him. I think it would be the same for the steroid era players that people will oh cool, look at what I got and use their cards. I assume it's scant minority that complains about such players while the majority can careless. Maybe I'm wrong.
