Someone else said this so please take credit if it was you. But it’s completely accurate
SDS takes away the things we as a community enjoy before fixing the real issues with the game.

One example, HR derby used to give you a good XP amount. While some may say, it’s unfair cuz that person is getting a ton of XP. My response is. If you want to sit down and play HR derby for 5 hours. You should be rewarded with XP. Like home run derby isn’t that fun. It’s tedious. So if you’re gonna put in the work and do that for 5 hours or whatever it may be. You should be rewarded. And this is coming from someone who didn’t even use that method

Oh my goodness. If one more terrible fielder makes a gold glove play in showdown that’s gonna be it. I swear. Players with less than 70 fielding consistently make driving plays to get me out. It’s so annoying. Like SDS you made them bad at fielding for a reason

For the past year I have been bragging to anyone I talk to about video games that San Diego studios is the best developer out there. That EA sucks and honestly any game made by EA would be 100x better if SDS were to create it. I thought Mlb 19 the show was amazing and had real effort put into it. I’ve thought SDS was the best company out there and anytime someone said “what’s a good company and why” I would say SDS bc they aren’t money grabbers and actually listen to consume feedback. Well. Every good thing I thought about SDS has gone out the window. Absolutely terrible job making this game. Online sucks( read my other reviews. It’s just bad) and I just watched a clip. Where someone hit a walkoff homer in in MTO and the ball ricocheted off the bleachers and into the outfielders hand and was called out. Inexcusable.

After seeing a lot of people comment and post and playing the game a lot myself I’ve come to the conclusion that at this point in the game the hitting engine has to be mostly RNG(random number generator, which basically means everytime you hit the ball it is random whether it is good/good or good/okay, not based on user skill) and this really does seem to be the case. I’m not complaining so much as I’m just asking the devs to make the game more user control based. If I hit the ball completley in the pci with good timing give me a good good base hit. If I miss the pci. Give me a slow dribbler or slow fly out. Just make it user based and give us control of the outcome

For the people who complete collections and play the DD mode in versus.. showdown.. conquest.. and get the XP by earning it. Playing HR Derby for all of your XP shouldn't reward you with cards and other rewards that are not meant to be obtained so quickly. It's not a grind. It's exploiting a glitch.

Playing a single mode for 5 hours is defienlty a grind. It’s so pointless. If you wanna sit there for 5 hours playing a mode like he derby. Yeah you should get xp

So your telling me people who sit and play something so mind numbly boring that takes no skill should be awarded more XP than those that complete collections for as many teams as possible? Yeah ok. Sure it's a grind.. a extremely tedious one. It's still exploiting a glitch. The HR Derby wasn't designed to give that much XP. That's why they are patching it. I don't really blame SDS.. they would think people bought their game to play and try to get cards.. not play a mode for 10 hours out of a 24 hour day. Lol.. but sure .. big time grind.

I don’t blame SDS for that specifically. The thing that bothers me is that outfielders still can’t lock on the ball and the thing they decided to prioritize is the HR derby XP. Like fix the actual gameplay. Like you said. They should focus on people who play the game. So okay. If you wanna get rid of Hr derby xp. Do that. But actually fix the fielding in gameplay first. It wasn’t an issue for me the first half of the game but latley my fielders never lock on and it gets annoying. Or my center fielder will be running torwards a ball hit right up the middle and it’ll go right by him

Okay so this might make some people annoyed but I’ve been somewhat posting a lot on here lately and at times been rude to some of you. I want to take this post to genuinely apologize and say I’ll do better moving forward. Love Mlb the show and while it has as many flaws as the next game I’m grateful for the devs hard work nonetheless. And to the community. If I was rude I apologize

Doing the Paul konerko moments and yordan Alvarez robs me of a home run. 49 fielding yordan alazarez. Who has never robbed a home run in his life and is clearly an awful fielder. Like cmon now

It bothers me that I’m not allowed to delete my own post or comment. It says I do not have enough authority to do that action. But like what do you mean? It’s my comment. It’s my post. I should control what happens to it

Stop having terrible fielders rob home runs and make gold glove level plays in moments and showdown. It’s the most unrealistic thing ever

Can he really not play OF? I thought I could pinch hit him or sub in in the field when he wasn’t pitching? Is this not able to be done?

Anytime you start Thomas start him in left. If Arozarena has the day off put Gardner in center. If judge has the day off put Gardner in center and arozarena in right.

Anyone finding this moment impossible? I feel like every time it’s a warning track out with 90 or less mph exit velo

When do they update for MTO? Bc I know they’ve been updated since the start of the year but not with the new update from Friday. So how long is the delay usually?

You really have to go into it with the mindset “this game is gonna cheat me” otherwise you’re in for getting very mad

@mike-forbes101_xbl said in TA New legends:

Gonna take a stab at a new legend from each team.

Padres - Chase Headley
Braves - David Justice
Phillies - Scott Rolen
Mariners - Richie Sexson
Red Sox - Derek Lowe

I’d honestly really love a David justice. Ever since moneyball I’ve loved the dude

It’s gonna come out soon so perhaps this is a meaningless post. But based on card reveled already the other two new legends will come from the either the
Padres, Braves, Phillies, Mariners, or Red Sox
Any guesses?

This is the first year I’ve really tried to play BR and win and yesterday I had my best run. 7 wins. Ik not that much. But my only two loses were against players with the GOAT collection so that was pretty annoying

@chrono_omega_psn said in Anyone else think this?:

Glasnow’s curve should be a 12-6 instead of the regular? At least the way I see it move on the tv makes it look 12-6.

Kenley never had a change, but they added it to his diamond card to make it more valuable. They do these things. Also most sinker ball pitchers in the game dont throw a sinker in real life, its usually a 2 seam.

It’s the same movement. A sinker just has more break than a 2 seam but they do the same thing. Like Strasburg, I think he technically throws a 2 seam but it has so much break on it than in game it should be a sinker because it just has that much movement.

@raider52morrison said in Stub Sale coming? 30%, 40%, or 50% off?:

@asap_ray13_psn said in Stub Sale coming? 30%, 40%, or 50% off?:
