That’s what’s so deflating for a lot of the long timers here. Seeing the way this company has ran this game into the ground. No customer service. No communication. No attention to detail. No accountability.

Idk if you were around these forums back in the early 2010’s. But you’d have the devs on here all the time interacting with all of us. It was very civil. Felt like they really cared about their product and like they were just fans of the game like we were.

I guess that’s what DD modes and micro transactions does to a gaming company though.

A lot of yall should’ve got this “slap in the face” a long time ago apparently. Dropping $100 a month on stubs for this game? That they’ve clearly copy/pasted and put out a glitch filled/cheater filled product that they could care less about fixing?

Have they even put out any patches this year that have actually improved the game much at all besides making the strike zone what is should have been years ago?

I mean, it’s your guys’ money obviously, but when you give companies money like that when they clearly don’t care about you as a customer, that’s how products continue to get worse every year.

I know it’s the only baseball game out there. If you pay the admission price to get the game, I get it, but additional micro transactions on this game?

I’m pretty curious how this sims and what do you mean it just breaks the game? What exactly happens?

@Messiah_Ortiz_84_PSN

I’ll be playing 26 for the foreseeable future. I’ve been working on a roster for weeks. Equipment updates, including minor leaguers. Generic face edits. Ratings/potentials updates. Keeping up with transactions. I’m not even halfway done.

I’m going to play a full career of a RTTS. That’s why I’m spending so much time on prospects and I’m increasing a lot of their potentials so real prospects stick in the league throughout my career rather than a bunch of fake generated players.

Figured this was the year to really be detailed with it since I 100% wont be buying next year and probably even beyond. Last time I got super deep into a RTTS playing every game, I didn’t buy another MLB game for 3 years.

Then there’s always GTA 6 right around the corner.

@dodgers19k88_MLBTS

You must play this game an unhealthy amount then.

Don’t care about stances. I can edit them myself.

@dodgers19k88_MLBTS

It’s irrelevant to the conversation. Fixing foul ball rates and adding face scans are surely handled by 2 completely different teams. It’s not going to take away from gameplay tuning to add face scans. Not like they would anyway. They want foul balls to be like this.

You’re not going to finish the XP path playing offline anyway. If you adjust more than just the foul ball slider, you can definitely reduce foul ball frequency with sliders.

@VF1S_Rick_Hunter_PSN

No, this is just you trying to downplay this.

Having head coaches/managers in the game has been around for decades at this point.

You want to justify them regressing in that aspect, go ahead.

I’m just glad people are actually speaking out against SDS this year. It’s been years of blindly simping and defending this company even though the writing was on the wall of where things were heading.

@dodgers19k88_MLBTS

More of this BS lol. They can do both. Actually you can fix foul ball rates yourself with sliders, but DD, they want the foul ball rates how they are because it bails out bad players.

Who said they can’t enjoy the game because of the lack of coaches?

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL

It’s not an opinion. It’s a possible reason of why face scans aren’t being done. I’ve never said or implied players have to do anything.

We’ll never know. But I’m tired of people just assuming SDS has no fault in this when there is a legitimate possibility they aren’t trying very hard to get them done.

Or SDS hasn’t made much of an effort to get their face scans.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL

I know how capitalism works and how it’s ruined just about everything and will continue to.

But when their customers are just like “oh it’s ok, it’s business, we just aren’t going to get those things anymore” that’s when these companies become even more complacent and don’t do anything year to year like we see now.

This community specifically has had some of the biggest simps for a gaming company I’ve ever seen and this year has shown them take full advantage of that. I at least see SOME push back this year, but previous years it was almost all defending SDS on every social media platform out there.

There’s no reason to defend them. We need to speak out if we want improvements otherwise they won’t do anything. As shown this year and like you said, they aren’t going to do it out of the kindness of their hearts or for the sake of just putting out a good product.

Not a chance I buy 26. We’re at end stage for me. The most bug filled game they’ve released. Menus don’t work. They lied about numerous things in the pre-release videos. Terrible communication. Haven’t even acknowledged numerous bugs.

I’m sure they don’t really care about me as a customer though because I don’t buy stubs. But there’s still plenty of people who do and will regardless of how trash of a game they put out.

So get the deals done?

This community constantly says stuff like, “it’s a small studio”, “they don’t have that many employees”…

Guys, they produce one of the top selling video games every year. There is absolutely no excuse for them to be skimping out on basic features in their game.

They get the “small studio” excuse for everything when they are really just making an insane amount of profit and not putting much of any of it back into the product. And then this community comes in and defends that.

Just crazy. If you guys want a better game. Stop defending this company when they’re being lazy and cheap.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL

That doesn’t excuse them from releasing a game that is even buggier than 25 and refusing to even acknowledge dozens of bugs in the game.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS

What have I said implied that I’m trying to be tough? The other guys just stated their opinions on my comment. I don’t really have anything to add or contradict to what they said.

I don’t expect games to make everyone be “pro level” to even play them. But the game has drifted significantly more towards the casual side over the last few years to where you can’t really take this game seriously at all. They have leveled the playing field so much with RNG and bailouts that there will never be a competitive scene with this game and people shouldn’t be surprised when they lose to people who swing at every pitch while they are having good ABs and plate discipline. That’s why I made the comment I made.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS

Ok? I don’t understand why you even replied that.

Yeah it’s pretty bad. I get it if it’s like 2-3 coaches that are new, but there’s like a dozen at this point. And you’re right, it takes away a ton of immersion in RTTS.

@That70s_Gamer_PSN

If the player already had a face scan previously, they will update.

But players who were generic and got a face scan for the first time would have to be in a new file.
