    … to mod.

    Modding is what kept mvp baseball 2005 relevant for me for 8 years. It was fun as hell. Cannot mod for online play though obviously.

    That’s the thing though. People will mod the heck out of it and play online with it. It happens in almost any game that is on PC. I don’t expect SDS to have an adequate anti-cheat system in place.

    Heck if they have a PC version with NO online play except for online leagues it will still sell like hot cakes. No one who wants this for PC want it for Diamond Dynasty


  • Change to the vault

    Hoping this can be put in as a patch

    We need RGB or hex# for the colors

    Some of us are color blind as hell


  • We definitely need online franchise
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    I am ok with them taking their time on this one, but I understand it would be great. I would like Franchise customization first as online franchises might kill that due to programming issues.

    DD is fun and it's cool to get all your favorite players, but it kind of breaks the game at the same time. When everyone on your team is a superstar, the game plays much differently.
    You need strengths and weaknesses to play the game correctly, IMO.

    Well you put your finger on the larger issue. DD players don't seem as concerned with the strategical nuances of the game nearly as much. Probably a lot more of them are arcade-style players. Complaints and criticisms from the DD crowd seem to focus on button/gamepad mechanic type stuff (perfect timing should result in a HR every time regardless of rating, etc...).

    Contrast this with franchise players...I have no evidence but I suspect they are older on average. Complaints are geared towards thinks like AI bullpen management, outcome rates (BB, HR, SO), getting things like bunting and shifts to work correctly, etc...

    DD forum has over 140x the posts as this one, so you can see why their priorities are what they are.

    To be fair...MLB is doing its best to make the great game of baseball an arcade version of itself
    You will no longer see bunts or hit and runs or shifts or strategic pitching changes.
    MLB in 22 will be HR,BB or K 75% of the time with a nice 20 minutes of instant replay and 10 minutes of checking the pitcher for substances stoppage.

    MLB and MLBPA have turned chess into checkers

    You hit the nail on the head

    Try this in Franchise or exhibition against the CPU

    When pitching, don't move the pitching cursor, just keep it dead center

    Pitch your main pitch and go through to the 5th or 4th pitch, then go from 5th or 4th to 1st pitch...all dead center

    You will have better success against the CPU then when trying to paint the corners

    That tells me pitching and batting was tested using Diamond Dynasty and H2H


  • Good bye MLB the Show
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    I feel that way with MLB that will only increase the HR/BB or K boring game

    BUT if you want to see how I handled the Orioles on 21 I have a playlist on my YouTube channel. I kept Chris Davis and played him due to his contract.


  • Customization NEEDED for Franchise mode
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    SdS needs customization for Franchise mode

    ability to have random schedule With or without interleague
    Expansion teams
    relocation
    Division and league realignment
    No DH or standard ALL DH rules
    NO 3 batter face rule for RP
    Keep shifts in game, default is to have them off but you can enable if you want them
    Better sliders so you can have a more hits, less Ks, less walks, more SBs more triples type of league


  • Like if you think the games is just going to be copy and paste + 90 bucks for roster updates?
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    Well considering I have Xbox cloud gaming on PC it won't be $90 for me, but I will probably try Franchise mode for a bit and if I see the same things from last years game, I will not be shocked.

  • Can we CHOOSE our rotation number in MLB the Show 22
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    Seeing the MTO video, one of the bright spots was seeing a 6 man rotation and 4 man rotation

    Can we select that or is 6 man only for Spring Training and 4 man only for playoffs?

    Also, are playoffs customized for Franchise? I am 1000% against the new playoff format and would like to have a 1 wildcard and 3 division leader playoff...or even better, change the divisions to be just East and West and have ALCS/NLCS then World Series.

    Lastly, is Interleague fixed so we don't play the same teams? Even better...can we choose a schedule with NO interleague?


  • Spring Training Roster Selection
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    Also for Franchise it has been mandatory to create TWO setting profiles. Set up your preset for your team and choose manual for everything (I leave scouting as auto as it is so flawed, why bother) Save it as MY PRESET Then change everything to auto and create a new preset called CPU. Assign that preset to all other teams

    That way you can always undo the flawed AI's mistakes


  • Ohtani wins the P GG every year in my non DH Franchise mode
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    Also had Troy Mancini win the 1B GG when he played 1/3rd of his games in LF

    If there is ONE fix in Franchise, can y'all at least use Range Factor and F% at THE POSITION to determine the awards, rather than the players default position?

    Also, easily shown RH/LH and Home/Away splits in the player card would be nice

    I am not asking for much as my expectations are looooooooooow


  • Why Does SDS hate Franchise mode and its Players?
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    This is what happens when there is no competition. They are going down the road of Madden which is a disappointment to 10% of the fanbase but billions to the development team via online transactions


  • General question for everyone who plays this game
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    That would be me. I played a madden series on my channel and a Fifa series and I cannot stomach how bad those have gone downhill. All because of online gambling disguised as customized teams


  • no y2y again
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    I am scrambling to finish my 3 yr Orioles series on Youtube because I play on gamepass on PC. As soon as 22 drops they will probably kill the servers meaning my franchise goes away, but I bet I can still buy packs


  • Might as well delete this forum topic
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    Only reason I am playing MLB 22 is because it comes free with XBox game pass but I will probably be very disappointed @Ghostie619_PSN 😞


  • Wishlist and I would like to hear from you guys
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    better trade logic and roster Mgmt. Just because a team has a poor LF, they might have a player that can play LF who is behind, say, the starting 2B. Why not have the AI move that player to LF?

    If a team is rebuilding why are they trading prospects for 28 yr old players?

    Where is the international draft?

    Why don't free agents decrease their demand in August?

    Why doesn't the AI grab position players off the waiver wire like it does pitchers?

    Why don't we still have 4 tiers (I'd be happy with High A) of baseball with rookie league or Low A as placeholder non playable leagues yet?

    and @BlackEagle2407 I am with you on face customization plus the [censored] equipment & cleats being in team colors by default is a pain in the [censored] to change all the time

    My main thing though is League customization. I don't want Universal DH, I don't want 3 batter RP rule. I don't want Instant replay. I WANT a league with less HRs/Ks and walks and more [censored] into play and more steals and triples. I want to relocate teams and make the AL and NL a 2 division league with NO interleague schedule and only a NLCS/ALCS and then World Series. I cannot get that

    I also want to see player splits easier. All I see is Batting average and HRs vs right and left, no OPS, no BB, no Ks
    I want to see how my players have done against pitchers and batters historically over the course of the season for the upcoming series
    I want team records, I want more league records. I want to choose if I am only using modern day records or since the beginning of time
    I want better attributes, Candelerio of the Tigers has doubles power, maybe a player like David Peralta hits triples but doesn't steal bases, you cannot manipulate that
    I want customizable managers and coaches and I want Manager/Bench/1B/3B/Pitching/Hitting and be able to hire them away from other teams
    I want retired players coming in as coaches and working their way up through the minors
    I want downloadable draft classes and easier ways to edit rosters

    and dammit I want a PC version!

    Since you have 0 plans for Franchise and are putting all your eggs into cross platform (except PC of course, ugh) for Diamond Dynasty $$$ then just focus on that and stop giving Franchise players hope

    No news on CPU trade logic, better drafts, better progression and regression or Franchise customization then this is just a forgotten part of the game since MLB the Show 16


  • My franchise wishlist for 22
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    I'd like Team records and the 'modern day' and 'all time' records. No one states Hugh Duffy's single season BA, Billy hamilton's runs scored or Old Hoss Radbourn's Wins for a reason. I'd still like to SEE them, but I think the game should differentiate

    I'd also like to be able to edit head hair and facial hair for existing players. Jon Gray was traded to the Yankees and has a beard...for example

    Better Trade AI. Just because a team has TWO very good LFers, doesn't mean it HAS to trade one...move one to RF where you have a 71 OVR player hitting .630 OPS

    Relocation and Editable leagues. If I want 2 divisions in my AL and NL with only a ALCS/NLCS and then World Series, I should be able to do it. I should also be able to send the Marlins to the AL or relocate Tampa Bay to Montreal.

    Vault should have uniforms. Your user base will create all the historical uniforms for you, don't even sweat that feature

    Weather, night games, domes for created stadiums

    Better search functionality for the Vault

    Vault should have custom ads/billboards. Be awesome to have my stadium have sponsors like Bring Back MST3K or Neosporin lol

    Change the color aspect for created teams/logos/uniforms to HEX and or RGB. Easier to get right shades and some people are colorblind


  • Favorite baseball books...
  • OleCranky7720_XBLO OleCranky7720_XBL

    Two that I have always loved are the American League players of the Deadball era and the National League ballplayers of the deadball era.

    Very nice pieces on mid tier players of those 2 decades
