So this is a theory I've had for a few years. Typically at launch the gameplay mechanics, with regard to hitting and batted balls, plays pretty well. The game is fun, there's a lot of variety in batted ball and hit types, and there tends to be more non-HR XBH and runners on. As the year progresses, it seems that batted balls and hitting outcomes are more stingy and the game feels "off". The game becomes increasingly devoid of offense, with HRs being the main source of offence sprinkled in between a lot of flyballs that used to be XBH. My belief is that this is due to the influence of high diamonds and in particular the effect of high H/9 and HR/9 stats needed to balance the hitting attributes of high diamond position players.
I'm consistently a NMS player, and I'm still using cards that I used from launch including TN Yermin Mercedes and LS Muncy. These cards who once hit very well for me are not generating a whole lot. This is understandable in the sense these cards are "obsolete", but there remains one big issue: with the same timing and PCI positioning, batted ball outcomes are drastically different. That is to say for the same batter, I can hit the same sinker down and away, pretty much dead center of the PCI, and with good timing, and watch what used to be a no doubt home run be consistently a routine fly-ball out. Similarily, POTM Byron Buxton when released was routinely hitting HRs on anything even with poor PCI placement, but now is playing like a normal card.
That makes no sense.
In addition to the batted ball outcomes, I suspect that the overall increase in fielding stats of players that get released throughout the season only help to contribute to diminished BABIP as groundballs and gappers turn into outs, and increased range shortens ABs by way of foul outs.
Curious what you guys think of this. In years past it was blamed on patches, but I'm starting to believe it's the effect of unusually high attributes causing the game mechanics to play differently.

I largely stopped playing because this game isn't fun. With the end of the program approaching, I've been trying to make a push to collect stars before the end of the program. In the last 24 hours, the following plays happened:
A homerun I hit that didn't even go over the wall: https://youtu.be/VJEe-SXmw74
Granderson camped under the flyball for the final out, lets it fall in letting the tying run cross the plate: https://youtu.be/PgGfy0Gdf4k
Runner takes a big turn at second, should be thrown out. SS and 2B are playing tummy sticks and nobody is covering the base for the throw behind the runner: https://youtu.be/ki4ozU8uKNU
Ozzie Albies at second commits to trampling the ball into the ground. Can't touch it, cause it might have COVID: https://youtu.be/nqbnwRH9uSc
Adelberto Mondesi (POTM) is gunned down on a very deep flyball. Doesn't touch the plate because... COVID? https://youtu.be/yTmOjkjsP3E
This doesn't include the screen shot of TYLER F'ING O'NEIL hitting a bomb over the bullpen on a CONTACT SWING with the ball NOT IN THE PCI. Same with POTM Didi, but at least he has pop. But this isn't even uncommon.
This all happened in 24 hours. I came to the conclusion... is the game is this [censored] up, why am I bothering to grind out program stars? This is beyond bad...

Wow the nitpicking from casuals is comical, its not like you see this every game..prolly not even in 20 or 30 games. Its a video game noobs, stuff like this will happen and stuff like this needs patching...its only May....calm down and go have a hot pocket.
Did I not post all occurred in a 24h period? I'd say the only comical thing is your trolling attempts on these boards but it's more pathetic than anything. It speaks volumes about who you are and how you live your life.

@tubatim90_psn said in Think its safe to say this is the worst launch MLBTS has experienced.:
It’s bad, but it’s far from the worst. We’ve had years where you couldn’t log in. The year where event wins didn’t accumulate across runs. Freeze offs every time a batter is walked. Considering the client base potentially doubled today with Xbox users coming on, it could’ve been worse.
I was hopeful that with welcoming the XBox platform SDS would get it's ducks in a row, and boy was I ever wrong.
I'm not sure what they were thinking... this is going to be you first impression to a whole community of gamers who've been shut out from a baseball game. And then lo and behold, they pay $100 and their redeem codes aren't activated and they can't play anyways because of the server issues.
There's an expression about first impressions and I imagine SDS has lost themselves a boatload of cash they could have kept making if they got the severs right for just this one month. -

This take ain’t it, saying they don’t care is like saying EA is a good company. They clearly care, it just isn’t as easy as you think it is to fix server issues. Be patient.
I agree with your overall POV but at lot of this frustration could be mildly alleviated with a side acknowledgment by them that they are aware, working on it, and hope to have a resolution soon - maybe even an estimated timeline.
PR 101. Even a college intern know this.
I mean, they truly don’t owe any of us anything.
I have to disagree friend. They owe us a game that is playable. No more no less...
They didn’t make you buy the game.
Just to understand your position here: You believe SDS is not owed to provide a functioning game to buyers after inducing them to buy said game with the understanding it works?

Just FYI -- The "Throwback" 1989 Cleveland Indians uniforms -- which are famous because of the "Major League" movie franchise -- are not accurate in the game.
I get that SDS would never use the real logo that appeared on that uniforms hat -- Its a dang logo but it might offend someone. God forbid. (Or it may be banned from official use by the MLB for all i know)
BUT THEN DONT INCLUDE THE UNIFORM.
Rewriting history by CHANGING the uniform and including a version that NEVER EXISTED is is dishonest.
Either include the whole uniform as it existed or dont....but changing it and then using it to make money while never mentioning that its not really the 1989 uniform is dishonest..
If you cant use the logo because of MLB rules...just say so. If you did it because of your own sensibilities...have the guts to say that too.
Or just dont use a uniform that is not acceptable to current standards.
People deserve better than to be spoon fed, a sanitized, fake version of baseball.

Natives deserve better than being a mascot. [censored] you, how about that?
Do you also protest Notre Dame Fighting Irish? Their logo is a cartoon caricature drawing of a funny looking short squatting irishman with two fists up...
I'm Irish and I'm not upset by it, you know why? It's a cartoon caricature.
You know who isn't upset about indian team names and logos? My wife who is native american. Why? Because it's a cartoon, and she's tried of people being offended on her behalf.
The fact is they did alter history, if they don't want it in the game then just don't put those uniforms in the game... That simple. But re-designing their old uniforms? That's messed up and next level historical revision.
Finding someone who has indigenous heritage who isn't offended doesn't mean she doesn't get to speak on behalf of all of them.

I enjoy a game or two but I've realized the game gets stale and frustrating if you play it too much. It's fun for a few hours but not as a game to completely dive into.

Just a thought - the "skill gap" in pitching should be pitch mix and locations to keep hitters off-balance, not the "skill" in repetitively doing a gesture on a thumbstick.

@born2bewild007_psn said in No excuse for server issues:
Anyone ever played FIFA? The show sells just over 1 million copies each year, certainly up this year with the XBOX freebies. FIFA 20 sold something like 24 million copies as will Fifa 21.
Plus FIFA has a massive auction house that totally dwarfs what The Show has with upwards of 12 million items individually listed during peak hours every day throughout the first month at least.
FIFA HAS NO SERVER ISSUES FROM DAY 1. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
HOW MANY YEARS HAS FIFA BEEN DOING MULTIPLE PLATFORM RELEASES?
HOW MANY CONSECUTIVE YEARS HAS THE SHOW HAD SERVER ISSUES AT LAUNCH WITHOUT CROSS-PLATFORM PLAY?
WHY ARE WE YELLING?!?!?!

She never claimed to. Ever. And I didn't go find someone for an opinion, we are literally married and I gave you insight to what she thinks on the topic. Thanks for letting everyone know her opinion on her own culture doesn't matter but you get to speak for her. I mean you should really step back and listen to yourself right now.
"You know who isn't upset about indian team names and logos? My wife who is native american. Why? Because it's a cartoon, and she's tried of people being offended on her behalf"
Hmmm... does seem like you're tying to imply that because your wife is indigenous and not offended, then it's not an issue. Either that, or you're not making a point relevant the the discussion at hand.
I'm not speaking for anyone but I get the impression you don't really care to read in a haste to argue with anyone who challenges your view (either real or imagined). Oddly enough, I didn't even take a position on the matter, aside from your argument is logically flawed.

No I didn't. Informed you of her opinion of indian related cartoons and sports teams and that she is tried of people being offended on her behalf. Then you literally decided the marginalize her because her opinion didn't align with how you want her to think. That's the ironic part of this.
The only irony here is that it's not ironic.
I also don't think you understand what marginalized means.

Dude...
mar·gin·al·ize
verb
treat (a person, group, or concept) as insignificant or peripheral.
"attempts to marginalize those who disagree"Exactly what your response was. You're welcome.
How did I treat any class of people as insignificant?
People like this guy are always the same, the want to be able to say whatever offensive racist [censored] they want but when someone tells them they are wrong it's all like "whoa why so aggressive?". The only way they know how to argue is by gaslighting bs
TBH I think it would go a long way to disambiguate racist from being ignorant. I think the connotations of being labelled a racist end up making people defensive and halting any sort of constructive exchange.
