@AdeptOfMemory_PSN The Show's? First thing I do every year is turn it off so I couldn't tell you.

LMAO!! Nice well it's the same as 23 with like 5 other songs. They didn't even do a new soundtrack

That's odd, when I look at the soundtracks between the two years, there are only two songs on both. "Sweet You" by Phonte and "Fly the Coop" by Big K.R.I.T.

Where are you getting your information from?

Same place he gets the rest of his "info". He pulls it out of his [censored].

If you read any of blog posts then you would know that it's in the storyline for Willie Mays

The overwhelming majority of players never bother with their blog posts.

The thing about that is, you dont even have to read the blog posts. They posted it on social media. So OP knew that the field was coming to The Show today, either through a Twitter or Facebook post. If common sense doesnt tell you that the NGL fields are unlocked by playing storylines, the social media posts definitely did.

Willie Mays storyline

I'm sure many people do.

Yes.....

I find it laughable that people are talking about NCAA like its gonna be the savior of sports games this year like they've done anything new with the NFL license they've had for 20 years.

Offline MLB players - The Show is the same game over and over every year. We need new game modes...theres nothing to do.

EA Sports - Releases Madden every summer....no new game modes in 20 years. No 99s given away just for logging into the game. Microtransactions consisting of BUYING a 68 overall that requires 100 games played to make it a 75.....slaps a new skin on Madden and rebrands it NCAA....

MLB offline players - OMFG THIS GAME IS GONNA BE GREAT!!!

People will literally only play it for dynasty mode like they did 10 years ago, which by the way, makes RTTS look like garbage. The ultimate team garbage can kick rocks for all I care.

So basically you're buying a 10 year old game with updated graphics. Sounds like a revolutionary game.

I cant wait til the end of July "Welp NCAA sucks....exactly the same game as it was 20 years ago now with microtransactions. Has The Show gotten any better?" posts

Bookmarked.

Well actually.....

It is cute how much you like me though. Makes me blush sometimes

I'll never understand the card art complaint. Does it really matter? Unless you're sitting in collections staring at the cards all day, it has nothing to do with gameplay at all.

@Dolenz64_XBL said in GET SHEILD WOODS OUT OF THE GAME:

Strange that nobody ever shows up on the forum saying

"I just demolished my opponent by hitting 10 HRs in Shield Woods Park. Please get rid of it".

Sir, you can take the rest of the day off.

Regardless of my hatred towards high elevation stadiums, I agree with you. We as a community only complain when we are on the wrong side of the RNG.

True story. Its like the whole perfect/perfect thing. Its always "I had 3 perfect perfect lineouts to 3rd in one game" but never "i had 3 good/early HRs at Coors in my last game"

Exhibit B ^^^

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN

I used to play NHL on wifi, and had the same issue…I think it’s got one of the weakest receivers as far as wifi is concerned, now I refuse to play without my ps5 being hardwired

Even hardwired, you have to replace the wire every so often. I remember when i first started using ethernet, my internet would cut out when i played online games and i would always blame the server...then id sit there and think "[censored]...ive had this cable for like 2 years. Maybe thats the problem". And sure enough....it was.

Moral of the story being, 3 months into the game...if you're having the problem everyday when most of the people in here arent getting disconnected on a regular basis, it might not be the servers.

ok i guess i need to explain im not talking about new offline game modes in general im talking about more offline/single player modes within DD

Yeah we all get that. Everybody wants more modes but no one has any idea as to what they can do that doesnt drastically change the way the game of baseball is played.

There are tons of options.

There could be an offline version of ranked with increasing difficulty
There could be a 5 inning play every team once gauntlet where the teams rosters upgrade throughout the year with the new cards

Ranked is ranked because its an online mode where you increase in rank and play on harder difficulties . Doing that offline is basically March to October or franchise on dynamic difficulty.

Also, arent you the guy who wants to limit the amount of xp online players get? Considering they'd have access to this mode as well, what would you suggest to prevent them from earning all this new xp?

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN said in AHGGG!!!:

@Easy_Duhz_it__MLBTS Is the PS5 not capable of playing on WiFi?

Did i say it wasnt?

Exhibit A ^^^

Are you hardwired or using wifi?

I can only say that timing/all star feels as it did before. streaks have always happened, people are rushing to conclusions

This. I can't tell you how many times over the years people have come in claiming something had been nerfed immediately following the patch.

I have not noticed much difference playing Vs CPU on rookie.

• On 6/11 (pre Patch) I beat the A's on rookie 21-1 with 24 hits and 14 HRS. I gave up 4 hits and 1 Eearned Run with three pitchers while racking up 21 strikeouts.

• On 6/14 (after patch) I beat the White Sox 18-0 with 23 hits and 13 HRs. I gave up 4 hits, 0 ERs and while striking out 21 batters.

• On 6/15 (after Patch) I beat the Giants 18-0 with 21 hits and had 11 HRS. I gave up one hit in the 9th to just miss out on a perfect game while striking out 19. I was using multiple CF and 2B so my power was not as great.

All three game were played at the same field (costco) and nothing really seemed out of the ordinary for me.

People in the forums will be like :

How do you not see the differences??? Your hits and HRs gradually decreased!! Clearly SDS is out to get you!! I bet you had at least 3 perfect/perfect for outs too!! THIS GAME SUCKS. Cant wait til NCAA so i wont be forced to play this game that i clearly hate anymore.

Its a baseball game....without completely changing the way the game is played, theres not much they can do besides mini seasons, conquests and vs cpu

Did you play MVP baseball or Midway's Slugfest? There is plenty they could do to keep the game fresh/fun without selling a new pack every 30 seconds.

Of course i played MVP. But what about that was different than anything in MLB The Show? They had Dynasty mode....which is basically March To October without the fast play. They had Owners Mode which is basically franchise. I think they had HR Derby in 04....which The Show also has. Seriously i think nostalgia blinds a lot of people in here. The MVP games were great at the time but they wouldnt exactly be groundbreaking today because we have all the same [censored] in The Show.

As far as Slugfest....no. I dont play those kinda games.

You know what... I absolutely agree with your points as far as MVP baseball goes, perhaps I am somewhat nostalgic in that regard. However, what Midway was doing with castles, underwater domes, and generally over the top fun environments over 20 years ago, makes the Show look bland in comparison. It may not be sim but the Show isn't really going for the ultra realistic appeal anymore.

And that right there is exactly why i dont play games like MLB The Bigs or Slugfest. And its why i didnt play NBA Jam. I dont need to see smoke trails when im rounding the bases or flames on the ball if i hit a homerun. I dont wanna play in underwater stadiums or on top of a volcano or whatever.

Its why i thought the Kaiju nonsense was one of the worst things about The Show in the 20 years ive been playing. I just wanna play baseball.
