@magic1313_xbl said in Xbox Gamepass Early Access Package insanely overpriced:

I know this is probably more of a microsoft decision as opposed to SDS but the early access bundle for those planning on using gamepass to get the base game is insanely overpriced, for $50 why don't we get the same pre-order bonuses as the digital deluxe version.

Early Access $50

• You Don't Get the Game from this, must have Gamepass access to get the game
• Four Days Early Access.
• 2 Gold Choice Pack.
• 10 Show Packs.
• 1 Ballplayer Pack.
• Double Daily login rewards.
• 10k Stubs

vs.

Digital Deluxe $100

• MLB the Show 22 on Xbox either gen (thought this was implied but clearly not)
• Four Days Early Access.
• Full game. Dual Entitlement for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S
• One Diamond Choice pack.
• One Cover Athlete Diamond Choice pack.
• Five Gold Choice packs.
• 20 The Show packs.
• One Ballplayer pack.
• Double daily login rewards.
• Cover Athlete Themed Bat Skin.
• 25K Stubs

Standard Pre-order is $70 and gets

• MLB the Show 22 on Xbox either gen (thought this was implied but clearly not)
• Gold Choice pack
• Five The Show packs.
• 10K Stubs

The Math Does Not Add Up

Where do you even see this early release bundle option? I just looked

@kawalerak47_psn said in Like if you think the games is just going to be copy and paste + 90 bucks for roster updates?:

I know there’s changes to stadium creator with night games and some other updates but I’m hoping for something big and revealing for the streams and other gameplay trailers, hopefully something good for franchise mode,

I dont know about the 90 bucks part. never buying this game again. its free on game pass, game pass is the best.

if you link your xbox and ps5 accounts do the settings carry over from on to the other? or do you have to go through all the settings again.

1.6k posts. Cool man

1.6k posts and not a single post complaining about the game or gameplay, so what’s your point?? Please enlighten me child!!!

Lol have you read any threads? "Is ranked even fun" You the only person being toxic as hell calm down buddy, We can sniff the sweat off you with the spam of ??? and !!! " Blah blah blah cry cry cry" U mad corny frfr. Do u like laugh when you post a response as if you talking [censored] on a community forum makes you some tough dude? Grow up, Cuz he right they aint change the sinker they aint do nothing, SDS has said they do this and that but I still see 101mph sinkers on HOF 70 out of 100 pitches and it's straight up not fun, It's just kids like you who spam 70 sinkers who ruin the fun of the game.

Wow, so angry!!!! At least I have some grasp of the English language. I mean our government is giving away free college educations now. Why don’t you invest some of that passion into bettering yourself professionally rather than whining in these forums about a pitch that you seem to think everyone is incapable of hitting. My guess is that this post will cause you great distress and possibly a heart issue, but if you sit back and think before you speak you might realize that this is still a video game. One can only wonder why you torture yourself if the game is not fun to play. I mean if it wasn’t fun for me I would stop and find something else. Complaining about something as inane as a certain pitch really is laughable. Have a good day kid. And yes your behavior is childish so I will call you a kid until you grow up. Oh and by the way, are you incapable of looking a profile to see a person reputation. If you were you would’ve looked at mine before making the silly statement about my forum activity.

Ima just ignore what he sayin cuz he bringing up the government and college educations in MLB the show. Guys a clown

You seem to think I give two S H I T s what you think kid. You’re a [censored] plain and simple!!!

lol, good god, and you are calling people clowns? get over yourself.

@bozzman0109_psn said in Is there a certain way to drop bunts?:

sac bunts are done early in the wind up. use righ thumb for direction before pitch. Drag bunts are done late in wind up and needs to be timed on release. also pick a side with left thumb. I believe the soft or hardness is random? I don't bunt enough for any real sample size.

okay thank you for a real answer instead of crying about glitches and cheese.

Good luck perfecting your bunting.

I feel bad for the guys you "practice" on.

God, you are so cringe, kid. It's okay, not everyone played sports growing up so I guess I can't fault you for not knowing how a real game plays out.

I played. you could also just watch, wouldnt need to play. but nice flex. no one is impressed. you are a dope.

Don't you have a Fortnite or Roblox tournament to play in? Casual. Imagine thinking that good bunts don't exist in real life. Maybe if you didnt whine and cry about cheese and glitches all day, you would actually be able to comprehend how baseball is really played.

every time you post its a clown show. lol grow up

@whitejw98_psn said in Blackout Custom Stadium:

The Community in 2020: Waah there needs to be more stadiums in the game!!

...SDS gives players the tools to create pretty much any stadium they want....

The Community in 2021: Waah I don't like the stadiums that people are creating!!

sounds like 2 different things to me. you could add more cool stadiums from the past, not the same as a bunch of morons creating stupid fake stadiums hoping to get some type of advantage.

@ccarr77_psn said in Blackout Custom Stadium:

BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA!!

More NBA Jams nonsense. What is this stuff?

I left NHL after playing my whole life when they brought goalie fights into the game. Utter nonsense added for no reason. Your opponent could fight your goalie whenever he wanted.

Now I'm playing in blacked out stadiums online? Can I get my money back? This stuff has no place online. None.

I agree, thats absolutely ridiculous that they even thought of adding this to online play. you want to go play some stupid stadium offline? go for it. you shouldnt be able to force someone else to have to play that garbage.

@knoxwurst31_psn said in Just Dots, Dots, and More Dots...:

Let me ask you this. So when YOU are pitching, do you want to throw dots? Or would you prefer your pitches to not go where you intend them if you have a perfect pitch? It goes both ways.

I'm sure everyone wants to throw dots with THEIR preferred pitching mode. Why should anyone be forced to use something they are not comfortable with? And why should they be punished for their choice with pitches aimed down and in at the pitchers legs (say righty vs lefty), with perfect release that floats straight down the middle and into the hitters wheel house? It's stupid and makes 0 sense! If you don't use pinpoint, you aren't going to win as many games as those using it, it's simple as that. They may as well take every other pitching mode out of the game at this point.

I've used meter pitching for 15ish years. I haven't switched to pinpoint and I throw "dots". I am amazing at pitching.

I'm guessing your an offline player because metered pitching does not work online. I can dot pitches against the computer all day.

I play both online and offline. It's literally the same meter online and offline.. I don't understand the point of that response? Idk, I'll stick with meter just because that's what I'm used to. Give dots and get dots. It's not like the opponent throws dots and you don't have the same opportunity to throw the same dots. That's what I don't understand about the argument about your opponent painting spots. It's the same opportunity for both sides.

Because I can aim directly on any corner; for example a high fast ball up and in with a pitcher that has stellar control, H/9, K/9, and get perfect release and maxed out velocity, said pitch is release and decides it's going to randomly float down and away. You honestly must be god if you are you are dotting anything online more than once.

Huh?

Works just fine online. And always will.

and for the record, this madden game does suck lol

On PS5 it feels like players are jogging. The run game sucks.

But content wise it still blows the show out of the water. TOTW, Most Feared, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, TOTY, the packs aren’t garbage, and you don’t have to wait a year for rookies to be in the game.

Packs aren’t garbage in madden??? Content blows the show out of the water ‍️ The past 2 years madden has been shut down after the draft.

Ludacris comments by that man.The show blows madden out of the water.

To each of their own. I’d much rather buy packs where you’re basically guaranteed a solid pull. I’d also rather get draft players 30 mins after their picked than over a year later. But yeah ur right let’s have a useless 95 SP player program 5 months into the game.

The only packs you are Guranteed a decent player are the packs you have to use actual money for. And those players are useless within 2 weeks. Just like every player you acquire in that game. It’s alright you can love madden. I do too, just not MUT anymore. DD is the only mode like this I’ll play.

Swear at least 50% of the hrs i see are early timed swings. Outside corner , middle, hell i even gave up two today that were early on the inside corner.
Maybe they did this since hof is hard to hit

anyone else not understand how hitting works? how do you think a right handed hitter pulls the ball to left in real life or the game? ....He's early....

Thank you! Sox fans understand baseball.

(because we've seen enough losing teams over the years to eventually figure out what we're doing wrong)

lol its been rough since like '08-09 up until like last year basically but this team is awesome. Eloy is a monster. best staff and pen in the league. White sox v dodgers WS calling it now.

Oh man, my dad has been a Sox fan his whole life, so he would LOVE to see a rematch of the 59 series (with the Sox winning it this time, of course). If Eloy, Robert, and Grandal all come back in good shape then I think we've got the best team in the AL. But frankly the Brewers scare me more than the Dodgers. That pitching is so good. The Dodgers could be better if everyone gets healthy in time for October, but Milwaukee is that team that no one talks about until they're hoisting the trophy.

I love that Lance Lynn already re-signed. kopech and Crochet in the rotation next year I assume. this team is set for the next 6-7 years.

Agreed. Unfortunately we're stuck with Keuchel for a while longer, but the rotation looks really solid. And I think Lopez may have even found a home out there as a long reliever. Can you imagine if he reaches his potential, and Sox fans can say we got Giolito, Lopez, and Dunning/Lynn for Adam Eaton?! lol. Of course, the Sox have never been a particularly lucky team, so it figures that we have put together perhaps the best team in the franchise's history and then there will be a yearslong strike or lockout.

like '94? I was a little too young then. but Im pretty sure the sox were looking good that year.

that was quite the trade for the sox, and the Quintana trade for the cubs is starting to look a little bit like the Shields trade for the sox. Eloy and Cease for Q? cease is starting to look like a stud himself.
