    RE: This game is absolutely boring and unrewarding right now.

    @x-supersko-x_xbl said in This game is absolutely boring and unrewarding right now.:

    I play the online modes once in a while (Events and BR) but I have a career job and just don’t have the time to invest into ranked seasons. That means I play the single player modes the majority of the time - including RTTS.

    As of right now, not including a few of the gold and diamond programs in RTTS, I’ve already completed everything available for the offline modes. The game is so boring right now that I’ve even completed every Conquest map.

    To make matters worse, the game doesn’t feel rewarding. Out of the 37 Live Series diamond players available at the moment, I have exactly 4 of them — and 1 card was purchased on the marketplace. Given that I’ve completed all of the “Other Programs” (except Stages 2 and 3 of the April Series, of course), all of the Showdowns, the Conquest maps and 3 full Mini Seasons, you can imagine how many packs I’ve opened along the way. I’ve even played the Mystery Conquest map about 15-20 extra times because it’s a quick and easy way to get 5 The Show packs for free.

    Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t remember the game being so boring and unrewarding when The Show 21 was released. I know it’s early but something needs to change. The odds say we have a 1 in 50 pack chance to get a diamond player but that’s a load of bullsh*t! On one occasion, I opened 108 packs before I pulled a diamond player and I’m currently on 86 packs without a diamond pull. On top of that, out of all the Ballin’ is a Habit packs I’ve opened - I’m still sitting at 1 diamond player from those packs and 0 diamond pulls from Headliners packs.

    When you combine all of this with the many lazy-assed copied and pasted card images from The Show 21, I’m really disappointed in the replayability and the lack of effort put into the game.

    At the very least, they could give offline players a replayable Showdown like they finally added last year so we can earn cards for winning and sell them for stubs on the marketplace.

    Sorry for the length … I don’t comment very often but wanted to vent a bit.

    Agree w everything you said.

    First time in 6 years playing DD no interest in a program

    Whoever thought of doing a team specific program was really off the mark.

    I have no interest in this 2nd inn program this year. I have no interest in the Phillies or their history and players. I don't hate the Phillies, but its not a team I am interested in. And why the Phillies of all teams? Its not a nationally recognized team like say the Yankees or Dodgers.

    Anyway, first time in 6 years playing DD I have no interest. I usually like to do all the program missions but screw it w/ this program. Don't feel like doing multiple pitching missions w/ Halladay or any of these guys.

    Just wanted to say that. Im sure Im not the only one feeling this way. Hopefully we see no more team specific programs thru the 22 cycle.

    RE: SDS Ruined Online Head-to-Head

    I really liked this online mode last year. I agree with you it has much more strategy than DD online. Not sure why they keep taking features and options away yearly. I know it's not a money generator but why subtract. All we've been asking for in this mode for years is the option to choose jerseys. We don't get that and now this.

    FOTF Devers > Monthly Devers

    Monthly Devers is terrible for me. I thought he would be great because FOTF Devers is my best player. He just rakes. Monthly Devers has a hard time even getting a hit.

    Not liking this PXP fixation in DD this year

    I guess I really dont understand how PXP works to achiever program goals in 22 DD this year.

    I understand you have to look at the card and it tells you what you need to complete to upgrade the PXP.

    But it's really become a grind now especially for offline gamers. I don't really want to play some useless meaningless exhibition games. I have played conquest and mini seasons but it seems like it doesn't move that fast.

    I've been stuck on the Billy Williams card for like forever. Also in the WSH City Uni's been stuck on 27 and I need 3 more for Rendon. Again, seems like whatever I do , the pxp accumulation moves so slowly I have to ask myself is it even worth doing.

    I don't spend money so i can't do the exchanges at this point yet. And the exchanges are what, 2 or 3 points? I did all the moments.

    But ya, not feeling it in 22. I liked the simplicity in 21 and straight forward approach in achieving goals to get a card or program done.

    MLBTS22 : QA is a total failure

    Whoever was in charge of QA for MLBTS 22 did a very bad job.

    First of all, so many crashes in 22. 21 the game never crashed on me once. 22 is a plethora of crashes in all modes.

    Another example : in DD, when I go into choose uniform, the uniform I chose doesn't display on the player - home or away - 21 did not have this problem. You can argue what's the big deal, it's insignificant. I can see that point of view. But the little things add up and show how sloppy this game is.

    I can list countless other things but I don't understand how 21 was so tight when it came to QA and how 22 fails miserably in this department. Did they change QA teams for 22? I would be really embarrassed if I was part of that team.

    https://ibb.co/ns0LsNq

    After this sequence, I gave up 2 run shot. It's impossible to strike people out. Note that almost all of these pitches were changeup and sliders and the timing of my opponent was "very early" on almost all of them. This is just one example, you'll experience them yourselves I'm sure.

    This is why I tend to hold off on online play until about June/July. The game is always unbalanced early on, at least from my experience. Can’t we just get a carbon copy of ‘17?

    Oh man is miss that game, despite its flaws. That was the last game that was actually good imo.

    17 was a classic video game, not just baseball. I still own a copy of it in my hall of fame videogame collection.

    RE: Xbox User's...

    Not sure about Xbox One for 22. In 21, last year on Xbox One, to fix the framerate you had to turn down the display settings to 720p. It helped a lot.

    Never had a problem last year with 21 on XB X. This year I would say framerate is better overall on XBX and PS5 but 22 sort of is a letdown as a game compared to 21.

    But we already discussed that : https://forums.theshow.com/topic/54601/22-worse-than-21/22

    RE: 22 worse than 21?

    @jib-v3_psn said in 22 worse than 21?:

    Answer the question directly.. Yes. Massively. Why? It's nearly July and it's still garbage. For me, 21 had early issues but it was a fun and enjoyable game by late may/june I think I know by all star break I was definitely enjoying it, but right now I'm genuinely not interested in playing it, hence why I'm on the forums reading up is anybody is experiencing the same issues I am.

    In terms of DD alone, I have not enjoyed any of 22. I've been buying these games every year since 2016 and this is the first year I feel genuinely ripped off. I understood with Covid and adding xbox etc. that the game might have a slight off year in 21, but like I said, after a few weeks it was fine. I expected DD in 22 to be a heck of a lot better though. But here we are, and I cant for the life of me understand why they removed so much stuff. 18/19/20 are far more appealing to me for DD as there are still plenty of things I didnt complete and the content didnt disappear after a month. To my knowledge, it's all still there as the 19 content was still there after 20 launched so why wouldnt it be? What made last year all the more insulting was that all the early content and daily moments rewards were just handed out for nothing in november/december, so why the hell should I ever buy the game new again? I should just wait until it's on sale the following January for 20 dollars and I'll be rewarded with the same content as somebody who paid 100 a year earlier. But hey, who am I to judge a video game developer that advertises gambling to children as if they were EA?

    Gameplay wise, I'm lost by it. Showdown mode used to be the place where everything was a pop-up or lazy fly ball if you didnt get it right, now that's seemingly every mode for me. I cannot get any consistant hitting this year, especially from RH power bats, I literally cant get hits with them, last year the Awards Nelson Cruz and HR Derby Alonso were my favourite cards. This year I cannot hit with any RH power bats... but why? Well, here's the meat of my issue with hitting: I pop up hanging sliders and curveballs with good timing swings that are right next to perfect, then I hit no doubt home runs on fastballs 4 inches below the zone when I'm trying to hit a ground ball. Then I hit a no doubter off a sinker inside with Early timing, like ridiculously early timing, then I start fouling everything off 3ft outside the pole on good timing hits when i'm trying to hit the ball up the middle. I lterally cant get my head around hitting this year. I think the AI pitching is more realistic in terms of break (lots of late life) but hitting genuinely feels like RNG. I get no joy out of hitting anything. Strike calls on the black are ridiculous, and what the heck happened to Check swinging? It was poor on 21, now it's just terrible. Stealing is a joke, especially as missed pick off throws bounce off either the ump or 1B coach so you cant get to 2nd. But it's the 10 pickoff thorws you have to sit through with your 42 speed third baseman who hasnt even taken a leadoff step just stepping back on over and over again. Moments mode? Dont get me started, foul language would ensue. "Hit a Home Run", ok sure thing boss! First pitch hits me in the knee. WOOOOOOWWWW!!!!

    Pitching was my favourite thing in 21. For the first time ever I did a RTTS with a SP and made it all the way to the majors, went nearly two mlb seasons. Loved it. This year, depending on the game mode, it's either a chore or just stupidly easy. It's either two fastballs (1 up, 1 down) and a slider outside the zone, goodbye. OR, 12 pitches of foul offs as you look for the swing and miss off the plate, then you either throw a fastball right down the middle and they don't swing at all or you throw outside to just walk them and they hit a double. See the RNG?

    tl;dr I dunno, whatever, garbage, 19 & 20 were way better. Wont buy 23 until it's on sale for nothing.

    One thing I noticed that maybe gives a barometer about how many feel about 22 is here in these forums. I mean this year these forums are D-E-A-D Dead!

    Last year in with 21, these forums were hopping from Release to all the way to next Jan. Maybe it was all the new Xbox players who finally got a real baseball game after 8 years but I think the entire community was really happy with 21. And I do understand it was a Covid year and 21 was a great escape from reality.

    @kwikpoppa_psn said in 22 worse than 21?:

    22 is IMO the worse release ffrom SDS .Mini mouse seasons should be discontinued and extra inning mode brought back. Make extra innings mode preset to be competitive enough to draw as much recognition s ranked season and you solve 90 percent of all complaints.Just make it one set difficulty equal to legend hof or even allstar. No more cheesing. You quit you lose.Miini seasons and conquest are dashboard fodder.Make people play 9 inning BASEBALL game.Monitor controller and every other cheat _ advantage nil. The CPU will wait til hades freezes over if you freeze glitch it.At least 80 percent of the games players are not interested in playing baseball as muchh as they are interested in beating SOMEBODY. Thats a shame . Catering to them is a bigger shame.

    What do you mean, Conquest and Mini Seasons are dashboard fodder? Why would anyone dashboard against the cpu.

    Moreover, why would anyone care what anyone else does against the computer? If somebody wants to start their mini season over, why on earth would I care?

    ya that made no sense.

    the only thing I wish mini seasons had was an option to play more than 3 innings. Or just make it a full 9 inning game in the future.

    Last time I posted this and got negative responses. Not sure why the hate against 9 inning mini season games. It would basically be season mode making it's comeback in DD.

    @tigersden813_xbl said in Xbox X/game pass question:

    Right now I play on game pass for Xbox One, but with the sale on the digital edition I took the plunge and bought a series X.

    My question is.. I have a ton of stubs and content collections I’ve unlocked in DD. Will hat show up on the new platform? What about stuff I have in my vault like rosters, created players and logos etc?
    Thanks for any info

    I did the PS4 to PS5 switch and the only thing I lost was my RTTS players and MTO progress. I could probably get those back if I wanted though. Everything else was there and it looks so much better, is faster, and I love the create a stadium.

    Definately like the upgrade.. far more fluid. Stadium creator is fun. The only thing is most of my DD cards will not display. They only show the border. PITA when I’m looking for subs

    i dont think that's a xbox gamepass or transfer issue. that's just a thing w/ the game time to time.

    RE: Xbox is very soft now a days

    Whenever I end a online game (all games not just The Show) if it's a good game I always do GG win or lose. Sometimes I lose and some ahle will message me some stupid [censored]. I delete it 99 percent of the time. I don't understand why people need to trash talk after they win?

    Sometimes I win and the guy trash talks me in the message. Again I ignore it. Dont understand why people can't take their L's and move on.

    @the_dragon1912 said in TURN THE WIND BACK ON IN ONLINE GAMES:

    In DD wind has been turned off since 19, so no, it wasn't turned off just for summer circuit

    and that was bs. just because of some whiners complained they turned it off.

    In baseball wind is part of the game. No wind all the time is unrealistic. Turn it back on.

    Nah. I get its part of real baseball but wind was far too random to be put in competitive online modes. Wind(and altitude which is arguably a bigger problem) have way too much of an effect on how the game plays

    i disagree. that's called baseball. baseball results are the most random in any sport. leave it in the game. if someone wants to play a game where nature does not affect it then they can play NBA2K.

    RE: Why do people glitch the game

    @rikstarr1970_xbl said in Why do people glitch the game:

    That’s why I don’t play online against others. Too many cheaters. It takes only one to ruin it, maybe two. So I just play offline franchise.

    offline DD is good too if you like collecting. I don't play online dd only offline.

    I just pulled together a 5 game win streak in H2H and I can’t believe it. I made a thread a month or so back just how bad I was in H2H and haven’t touched online since I was having a horrible experience but since I completed the LS series I figured I have to play online since I’m not chasing Randy Johnson no more.

    5 game win streak ladies and gentlemen!! I don’t know if it’s just luck but I’ll definitely take it. I will admit though everyone I’ve faced I’ve definitely had the superior team so I’m pretty sure that’s helped. I just had a guy quit on me after giving up 4 runs in the 3rd inning to give me my 5 game win streak and put me above a .500 record! I know it’s only a matter of time before I get hit with a reality check lol til than I’ll enjoy and brag about it to you folks 😊 thanks for listening!!

    Who cares. Jesus.
