Playing a conquest game in the top of the third inning, winning 6-0. And the game disconnected me.

“You have been disconnected from The Show Online.” It tells me.

And that’s what it’s told me three times in the last 12 hours. My WiFi and internet speed are fine—I checked.

So what the hell, SDS? Is this happening to anyone else?

If it has happened to you, please upvote so we can get a tally.

I have finally done it. After playing this game for 5 years and God knows how many hours, I have reached 1 million stubs!

And I didn’t pay a cent!

EDIT: I've now reached the 2,000,000 mark! Without paying a cent!

EDIT 2: 3,000,000 now! And aced my exams. Feeling good!

EDIT 3: Just passed the 4,000,000 mark!

I would love this option. It’s really disorienting for it to switch to a camera facing the batter, and it kind of kills the vibe of the moment?

The way the camera used to be, the angle from behind to see the ball fly, was perfect.

Rookie Justin Verlander!

When you superfractor him and see you're not the first to do so, now you know who was! Me!!

Very satisfied to finally get a 1/1 superfractor this year. Even happier to do it with JV! Had to celebrate.

Opened a fortune cookie today. "An unhandled server exception occurred."

• Team logo does not show up in the scoreboard on the screen
• Game has crashed on me once
• Pitchers lose stamina way too quickly in conquest games
• Not enough gameplay xp being rewarded
• Still getting used to the new announcers, but they get repetitive a lot. Will they please shut up about the fans behind the plate already?? Unless they’re copying Kimbrel’s set position, I don’t want to hear it.
• Getting the conquest tutorials after I boot up the game, every time.
• Program progression is slow.
• I don't like that programs are merged the way they are.
• They still haven't brought game end-of-game rewards for conquest games.
• Stays alive, stays alive, stays alive, stays alive, stays alive...
• Audio error—the announcer said "as the winning run comes in to score" when it was the second inning and the score was 9-0.
• HR animations are still glitchy sometimes in the highlight reel. It's as if the bat is glued to the runner's hand with gorilla glue when it's a no doubt HR.
• Not enough rewards in USA conquest map compared to last year. SDS, do better.
• The announcers don’t want to say Paul Molitor’s name for some reason, they just call him “Number 4.”
• Incorrect announcer calls. The middle of left field is not "at the wall"
• Another announcer error. He said my SECOND BASEMAN was catching a pop-up “on the warning track” when he was just standing in the infield dirt.

I will update when I encounter more issues.

@sbchamps17_NSW said in Rough for NMS people:

You get 4 players just by doing the showdown twice, 2 each time you do the showdown

Jesus. Are they making us do showdowns to collect cards AGAIN??? How many times do we have to say we hate this in the survey???

My Ma always told me life is like a box of chocolates , you always get an 'unhandled server exception'

Boiled unhandled server exception, fried unhandled server exception, unhandled server exception kebab, unhandled server exception stew, pepper unhandled server exception, unhandled server exception salad, unhandled server exception sandwich, unhandled server exception creole, stir-fried unhandled server exception...

Yeah, I expected a conquest map for the All-Star game or something. It's my favorite mode

It irks me that they sold the FOD program as good ol’ baseball, build it and they will come, and all that, then turn their backs on offline players who don’t care for showdown.

I avoid showdown like the plague. Moments already make me mad as a hornet, and Showdown is that times ten.

As a Tigers fan I extend my most heartfelt congratulations to Miguel Cabrera on his entry to the 500 club. He is the king .

Whether you’re a Tigers fan, Marlins fan, or just love Miggy in general, what’s your favorite moment as he made his way to that milestone?

@the_dragon1912 said in Prospect Cards Tanked:

They should have been quicksell price a long time ago. They just sped that process along

How do I grind conquest for rewards anymore? The prospect cards are worthless now. The mystery map only gives you 3 regular packs...

We need more repeatable conquest maps.

Not sure if I like the changes to conquest so far. I can understand why the USA map might've been divided into three parts, but what bothers me is that none of them are repeatable. I get that the full USA map was a grind, but I loved it for that. Some people might've not liked it and that's valid. I understand splitting it up.

But NO repeatable conquest maps?? At all?? Is this because they wanna push diamond quest instead, or what?

@arock7932_XBL said in Is it me or is Hitting is hard in diamond dynasty/competitive:

@LadySwampfox_XBL
That’s exactly where I’m at. I’m late on everything. I feel like I can’t tell when to swing. Like it’s not very clear. It leaves the pitchers hand and randomly appears across the plate. I’m doing pretty good with road to the show. But I like doing diamond dynasty bc I feel like you have a sense of purpose to achieve a different players and packs. Hopefully, they’ll come out with an update soon and fix it. I haven’t tried to go online and play I can’t even beat the computer on easy lol

Same!! I’m not sure if I’m having trouble seeing pitches for some reason, or there’s something wrong with the PCI, or what. But even on Rookie I’m having a hard time. Not only that but it’s inconsistent. Some games I struggle to put just three hits together, other times it feels normal.

But for the most part?? Hitting is VERY weird and with the way the game is now, I feel my hits are based on luck rather than skill. Like I’m trying my best but. I genuinely feel like even getting a single is due to sheer dumb luck.

I know it’s not the yips. Something about the hitting is off.

TN Ryan McMahon has got good fielding at 3rd, and he hits bombs.

I either didn't know or forgot these existed. Highest I got before this was the light blue/teal lights. But they were GOLD this time!

And I got the headliner 99 Kerry Wood! Woot!

First million milestone, first two million stub milestone... now first gold lights pull! I'm hitting all the bucket list things this year!

@chriscolbert_mlbts said in Switch!:

This is amazing! I do wonder if they will allow you to do offline DD stuff but I have to think an internet connection will be required.

I'm worried about how the servers are gonna handle more users on another console.

@sneakybounce23_XBL had runner on first myself, but I’m sure both work.

I just tried sac bunting with a runner on first, and it said “score that play: sacrifice 1-3” and it STILL didn’t give me the task completion

Check the box score after,if it says Sac under the xbh/RBI list then you can check the program. Make sure you pause to check after the next batter is in the box.
I had an issue at first with the play not being scored a sacrifice,but it worked on I think my 4th attempt.

I DID IT! I singled with Ozzie Smith, stole second, pinch hit Altuve, bunted without moving the stick. Smith advanced to 3rd and it was recorded as a 5-3 SH. I completed the Small Ball objective.

Thank you everyone in this thread for your help and advice!

@thebeev718_NSW said in Struggling for motivation to play:

Anyone else??

I’m finding it harder and harder to get excited to play this game. I love baseball and I’ve enjoyed MLBTheShow for years. I was excited for the changes this year and looking forward to the grinds.

But in my opinion, the content has been boring, the programs are monotonous, and unless you’re walking on water with pack luck, the collections are out of reach unless your willing to spend a few hundred dollars on stubs. (Has there been a stub sale yet this year??)

I’m with you there. Something just feels off about this years game. For me it’s the hitting! It’s awful and inconsistent!

It’s also very hard to flip LS cards this year, something I’ve depended on for stubs as a NMS player

For all of us players to be showered with gifts by SDS for their server incompetence. This outage is unacceptable—it's October, it's the weekend, we just want to play baseball and chill. We've wanted to since April.

Multiple "we are sorry for the inconvenience" statements aren't cutting it anymore. They got old real quick.

We demand the full compensation that we deserve.
