More server error messages, lost progress in player programs, unstable community market connection on the web. Just another day for MLB The Show 21. As a longtime player of this series, shocked at how bad this game experience has been over two weeks after launch.

No casual, the game is bad for online players not people that enjoy playing a game of video game baseball. The core mechanic of a decent game of baseball is there, you're just sour cause you can't collect cards or gain XP or whatever you online people do. Don't shed a bad light on a game that replicates a good game of baseball cause you can't play silly online stuff.

Don’t get on the forum you F’n casual noob. A real man would have a bat in his hands when he plays this game. I tore my acl last week diving for a ball in the infield while colliding with the coffee table. I saw who I was controlling and it was Cal Ripken Jr. , so I decided to play through the pain like he would, you casual noob. Next time you start up the game at least put your eye black on like a real man you F”n casual noob.

I approve this sense of humor.

I've asked SDS about a refund...crickets

Also, there are free Home Run Derby and Ducks on the Pond packs in the new conquest map. Which will further drive down the price of the cards that aren’t already in quick sell territory.

Wish I understood how to properly/effectively do the conquest maps. I have no clue clue.

Sim everything until you get to the strongholds. If HOF is to hard just press start to advance and add more fans to make it on Allstar. Rinse and repeat. I also dont go after the other spaces until i beat all the strongholds. then ill go and collect the rest of the spaces

You don’t recognize sarcasm I guess

@Jeviduty said in Should I skip Maddux?:

I love using him but gotta give him a short leash against goons and not use him at all in all star. He's a pitch to weak contact SP and in all star mfers will foul off and flail at stuff on the corners for 10 pitch at bats until you hang a dead cutter over the middle. Just spare yourself or get out of all star if you're there.

I pitched him today at Shippett on AS, got hit for 3 runs in the 1st. That same inning I got some runs and as soon as he came to the plate I pinched hit Babe for him. If I let him there one more inning I would’ve been down again in the 2nd

@Hikes83 said in Willie Mays Hitting Help:

Ppl tend to pound him inside with him crowding the plate so you need to have a fast bat.

I’m pleased with him. Hitting over .500 in 100AB lol

So does this mean swing early?

That’s the meta my guy. Swing early and watch the ball fly on [censored] hits.

I think we're confusing "exclusive" and "rare" with "best." For the most part, I think SDS does a good job about making sure the BR and WS cards aren't necessarily the "best" in the game. There are obv some exceptions (Willie, Wagner, maybe Chiperoo), but I don't think many people would call Gary Carter, Johnny Bench, Roberto Alomar, Rickey, Bob Feller, etc. to be the "best" cards in the game.

I think we would all have a very valid beef if SDS only handed out a very small and limited number of Finest Soto, PotM Tatis, Mantle, Trout, Foxx, Griffey, Kluber, Babe, etc. I doubt anyone would quiver in their little pink panties if they face an opponent with Johnny Bench, Casey Mize, Pujols, and Eddie Mathews or whatever.

Well said....and having Chipper, he definitely is not even close to the best 3rd base option....and SDS has given everyone access to Machado who blows him away in every regard

That you can say Machado blows him away in every aspect, just goes to show what's wrong with this year's game. I have Machado, but he'll never play over Chipper. Chipper may not have the better card, but he's the better player, and I'll take the hit to put the more deserving player on the field.

Machado’s swing is absolute garbage too. He might be the most overrated card in the entire game. I’ve rolled with an all finest squad in RS this season and have hit over .300 with The entire lineup of Lindor, Mookie, Soto, Perez, Yaz, Candelario, and Marte. Machado is hitting .214 for me(all these games are on allstar mind you and Perez is hitting .588 with an 1.900 OPS. If I knew I would get him I would certainly choose Chipper over Machado.

That’s you than, as myself and almost everyone I play are hitting close to .400 with him. Now I suck with Chipper, so maybe I am the Anomaly there.

Mine was restored this afternoon. Breathing a big sigh of relief.

I got in early on Mays and after a slow start, he is now my favorite outfielder. Gets to everything and I love his swing.

You can do a line up with two high 90’s starters, 4 bullpen, entire lineup, and two bench bats. Run your starter one inning and you’ll be fine stamina wise.

7pm here in England.

England!!!! Do you own Cricket the Show?

Lol, I don’t like cricket. Or Rugby. Or even Soccer. I do eat Fish n Chips, but I don’t drink tea, preferring instant Coffee as a rule.

Newcombe isn’t the only pitcher to win all 3 of those awards. Verlander has too

@ComebackLogic said in Team Affinity 4: Hey SDS Can You Throw Us A Bone?:

But what if there’s no exchange component to advance your progress? How many people will be ready then?

If they're for sell, I'll just buy them all. Hell, I'll get a substantial amount from just quick selling all the cards I have lined up for exchanging.

Update: It's broken again today after working fine Wednesday. Frequent error messages are back when trying to access dashboard on the website.

This is starting to get ridiculous, the constant crashing of the dashboard and online errors

I'm also have frequent intermittent issues with the dashboard since the update.

Clearly a technical issue on their end that if anything has gotten worse. Right now theshownation.com website is pretty much unusable.
