    Vote yes on Proposition 2-1

    Shippett Stadium has become increasingly worn down due because of heavy use, and the areas beyond the outfield walls are in desperate need of repair due to the barrage of baseballs landing there, damaging the facility. Proposition 2-1 would tear down Shippett and use public stubs to build a new park. This new park is located down the mountain at sea level, close to the downtown core and is located In a very spacious plot of land, allowing for deeper outfield fences. Join me in voting yes on Prop 2-1, we deserve a better stadium

    Paid for by Pitchers Against Shippett Committee.

    Shippett broke The Show this year

    15-14 “baseball” games. Early/late 40 degree launch angle home runs. ERAs above 8 for top ranked players. Home hunting galore. Shippett Stadium has been THE number one problem in Head to head games this year. Even those of you that like to play here have to admit it’s led to an incredible shift in how this game is played. Pitching, which is half of the game, simply doesn’t matter here. I hope SDS either adjusts this park, or removes it completely next year.

    RE: How do you deal with losing?

    I come on to this forum and complain about comeback logic and how my opponent was taking advantage of animations. Then I talk about how much I know about baseball because I washed out at the college level 20 years ago and how I would win “if this was real baseball.” Then I shut off the phone, kick the leg of my coffee table and angrily cry myself to sleep.

    Patch has been a breath of fresh air.

    I was not having fun with this game, it was getting frustrating. Every game got bogged down into 1-0 fastball fests. The patch seems to have changed all that. Timing windows have felt natural and hitting has felt more rewarding. Consequently, I’m seeing more variety of pitching now, and success on the hill still seems earned. Great job SDS. This couldn’t have been easy to do during the quarantine, but wanted to say thank you.

    10 Things I hope get fixed in The Show 21

    Overall, I think The Show is the best sports game on the market. The content is great, it’s not to greedy on microtransactions, has decent offline content for those not wishing to play online, and probably plays truer to its sport than any other game. However, there are ten glaring issues that have been plaguing online play for years that I wish were addressed in future versions of the game.

    Pitching
    Check swings
    Home hunting
    Shippett
    The Sinker
    The extra step/pickoffs
    Glare/batters eye
    MLB stadium lag
    All star difficulty
    Peer to peer hosting/matchups

    Hopefully out of these ten, one or two will be fixed. Once again, I love the game, but man it can be frustrating to run into these issues game after game, especially when you run into an opponent that knows how to exploit them.

    One out away from a perfect game

    And my opponent rage quits.

    I’m still counting it.

    I finally figured out to succeed in this game

    Home hunt until you play at Shippett

    Swing at anything

    Wait for the RNG to bail you out with a hanger

    Let the stadium carry a routine fly ball out of the park

    Repeat for nine innings.

    Don’t worry about pitching or knowing anything about baseball strategy, or even about being good. just make contact and the game and stadium will take care of the rest. That is the meta this year.

    RE: Who else is having withdrawal from broken server?

    @a761506 said in Who else is having withdrawal from broken server?:

    The full extent of my addiction became recognizable when the realization hit me that I may not be able to play MLB tonight because of PSN's server and I became a bit irritated for a hot second there...

    And of all nights, the one night where baseball was to be the escape from all the political garbage going down.

    Seriously, what am I going to do for the next 5 hours now? I may have to read a book... holy cow.

    That’s exactly what I’m doing, reading Sid Meier’s Memoir. This has to happen tonight? Man I would love to lose an online game 10-2 right about now

    Ugh the pitching.

    Top of the ninth

    Bases loaded

    Two outs

    3-2 lead

    1-2 count

    Jansen on the mound

    Cutter aimed a few inches out side

    Perfect release

    RNG hanger right down the middle

    Grand slam

    [censored], they need to fix the pitching in this game. Us pitchers want our input rewarded too.

    I play my Mariners theme team whenever I get frustrated in Ranked Season. Surprisingly do better with them than I do with my main squad.

    Stadium upload failed

    Is Stadium upload down right now? Haven’t been able to upload my park after multiple attempts. I hope the problem isn’t on my end.

    RE: negro League charity pack issue

    @TigersDen813_XBL said in negro League charity pack issue:

    So I bought the pack to support the charity. The stubs showed up but Bat skins and banner don’t. Anyone else experience this? It’s on XBX

    I’m on PlayStation and had this issue. I restarted, played a couple of missions, and the pack eventually showed up.

    RE: A Message To the No Money Spent Players

    @tybud_PSN said in A Message To the No Money Spent Players:

    Nah, they get enough money from advertising, I'm good on that.

    I mean if they weren't so greedy and maybe got rid of the blackout rule I would maybe think about it.

    I completely get your frustrations with MLB, but the NLBM has no control over any of that.

    A Message To the No Money Spent Players

    At least buy the charity packs (if you are able). It’s for a good cause, we won’t hold it against ya. Let’s get that new museum built!!!

    RE: All Star Too Easy, HOF Too Hard

    @ImBeater_PSN said in All Star Too Easy, HOF Too Hard:

    Hall of fame and up is made for the aged 29 and below players. Obviously there will be a few guys with good reaction 30+ but I guarantee that the majority of players 30+ cannot play on HOF or Legend.

    I am 41 and feeling it when I play! I can make it into the 800s, but it is TOUGH! I do not have the reaction time the kids have, so I have to rely on my baseball knowledge and really have to guess at what pitch is coming next. Otherwise I can’t get around on it

    All Star Too Easy, HOF Too Hard

    Been stuck in All Star and jeez is this frustrating

    Everybody swings at everything and makes contact. Foot above the zone, foot below, doesn’t matter. You cannot get the ball past anyone just becomes a 12-11 slow pitch softball game

    Yet when you get to HoF (if you can, All Star is such a crapshoot) it’s the complete opposite. Games turn in to 2 to 1 (hits) deadball grinders, with each pitcher racking up 15 Ks

    They need to do something with the timing windows on these levels or something. Seems like All Star should not be this easy to hit a baseball and HOF this difficult.
    Anyone else in this weird middle ground?

    RE: MLB THE SHOW 23 ISSUES

    I haven’t had too much of an issue with how this game plays, but with all the little errors and bugs, 23 seems really sloppy and unpolished. Wrong teams on the scoreboards, stats and pitch counts disappearing and reappearing, a confusing UI, having to reset the API every game, etc. I enjoy how the game plays, but all the other things are incredibly annoying and take away from the experience a bit.
