PS SF is in the same state as you ! No hayden birdsong? Ryan walker?! Yall are a joke!!!!

You guys are a joke…. No excuse for this! How is Tyler Fitzgerald not in the game? Colt Keith too! You gave us the bare minimum this year, by far worse than the last few years. No new batting gear or cleats? Pathetic!

I AM SO GLAD I DIDNT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!! I stopped over at my buddies house to check it out and I would’ve been soooo disappointed!!!! What did sds even do this year graphics wise? It’s pathetic! Plus the face scans….. so many missing that should’ve been added last year !!! Sds is lazy and they made baseball into a pokemon like card game. Not Everyone plays DD with that stupid hitting view!!!! A lot of franchise players you just failed miserably !!! Jose Soriano? Bowden francis! Tyler holton? Beau brieske? Somehow colt keith still isn’t in the game!!! It’s laughable at best! Wenceel Perez? What do u have against the tigers? Jace Jung? Keider montero? I could go on forever bc when I was looking thru the teams I was just laughing my [censored] off bc everyone is still missing! Honestly it’s pretty much the same as last year with a few new face scans….. literally random people who never played but we can’t get guys that have been in the league for a couple years!? You’re a joke of a company who profits millions every year and puts out a recyclled game every year! We didn’t even get face scans this year!!!!

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL I didn’t think about that. I never play online or DD. Probably was a mess for you guys. I always buy the game and 100$ isn’t a lot. it’s just the point . Would love to spend 100$ on a great baseball game I haven’t been playing for 8 years on the last gen consoles.

Can you please act like you know the MLB a little bit? MAKE THE ROYALS SECOND COLOR BABY BLUE!!!!!!!! No one wears that rusty gold! And please don’t use the “light blue” you have in the game bc that’s just terrible! Give us a wheel where we can make our own colors since yall don’t care… they did that in baseball games in early 2000s lol. thanks!!!! Also can we get an extra default uniform spot from road games? Sick of changing my white cleats to red ones during away games…. Minor things that could’ve been fixed years ago! Probably gonna be next years “special features”

lol this is def showing the greed and laziness from this company! I hope this proves how many people won’t be paying this recycled garbage this year. Half the people who played this game were probably on game pass and only played it bc it was on game pass. Don’t spend 100$ on a recycled game from 2018!!!! Next gen consoles have been around for awhile now and they want us to settle for 2015 tech when we’re in 2025!!!!!! They give you the absolute minimum every year… a roster update and a few lame animations like dolphins dives!!!! Oh but wait !!! This year their main “upgrade” or new feature is gonna be that not every player is a gold glover!!!! The fielding stats actually matter now!!!! And we also have a “more realistic” free agency in franchise mode !!!! Franchise mode that we can’t even play online anymore bc they removed it!!!!! These aren’t anything major!! These are minor problems they should’ve addressed years ago!! The best they can do on the graphics is the “belts and pants look more realistic “ and the “stadium lighting is more realistic “ it’s a joke. Same game, same graphics, same everything !!!! I hope you lose half ur customers this year!!! You won’t tho bc u have the rights to mlb and u know you can give the absolute minimum every year!!!! Shame on SDS for ruining baseball for everyone like the dodgers did for non dodgers fans this year!!!

@PriorFir4383355_XBL lol, so many snow flakes. You’re offended bc I don’t think SDS is doing what they could be? Stop being such a baby. It’s an opinion about a video game and the company who makes it!!!!

@ChuckCLC_PSN nope! Doesn’t take a genius to figure out we’re still playing the same game from 2018 on next gen consoles!!!! It’s 2025 and the technology is insane. Stop settling for a massive company who bought out the rights to mlb so they could recycle the same game to us over and over with a new roster update and a few lame animations every year ! You wanna spend 100$ on a game you’ve been playing for 8 years over and over? I don’t! Millions of people feel the same as I do it’s just on Reddit. I’ll put it on here so maybe they read it. I’m sure they know they suck they just have a bunch of moron fans who they’ll get money out of. Stop settling for this minimum effort bs from SDS! Their major updates this year in short are all fielders aren’t gold glovers anymore and a more realistic free agency in franchise mode. Got rid of seasons and a couple graphic tweaks like “belt and pants look more realistic” and “stadium lighting is better” lol those should’ve been addressed years ago imo. Once again it’s 2025 bro, stop settling for 2015 tech

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN you must work for SDS. Next gen has been here but we’re still settling for the same game? Cmon man! Stop acting like you’re happy with their new “upgrades” this year. They’re just minor things they should’ve addressed years ago. “More realistic free agency and fielding attributes actually matter”????? lol it’s a joke. Oh and the belts and pants look more realistic

@YOSHI24_XBL it’s been 8 years of the same game…… next gen systems have been out for awhile now but yet still the same game again, same program, same graphics, same animations, same gear, same stadiums, same exact everything! They finally made fielding attributes matter!!!! (should’ve done that years ago so everyon isn’t dolphin floppin gold glovers) they made feee agency “more realistic” these things aren’t anything major. Honestly just small things they should’ve fixed years ago. Stop settling for billion dollar companies with technology in 2025 to give u garbage every year.

Why do batters have attributes vs left and right but pitchers have the same attributes against lefties and righties ? Too much work to make something realistic ????

Man you’re slow. If they don’t pay attention to current game problems why would they care about next years suggestions? Tighten up bro. U can do it

Thanks for the same recycled trash game that we’ve had on ps4 and Xbox one for 7-8 years! Thanks for listening to all the people who pay to play this garbage. We get it! You have the rights and can do the bare minimum! Way to go! You ruined baseball on video games for everyone! Do better! You useless greedy pieces of trash! Stop giving us the same game, graphics, everything… every year! “ we added 2 animations and took franchise online mode out of the game, oh and me made the belts and pants look more realistic” gee thanks! A lot of effort put into that! Yall are a joke and should let someone else take over all the little details. Not every slider is the same, not every fastball is straight, not everyone wears metal chains, etc…. We can’t even have a default home and away jersey ! It’s laughable. EA had that in their games in the early 2000’s! I wish someone made a ncaa baseball game and these clowns had competition. Save ur money don’t buy this game! It’s the same thing as last year except not every player is a gold glover, dolphin diving everywhere vacuuming up balls

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN you ever hear of mlbtheshow support? Clearly not! I’ve been doing it that way for years proving to them with pictures what bugs are happening and what could be better…. They have responded to a couple things but as far as face scans and the little details. They don’t wanna focus on that. They’d rather just focus on 3 new animations every year… decided to pull online franchise too lol. Dodgers ruined the mlb and sds ruined baseball video games. Hopefully GTA6 is amazing and I don’t have to play these recycled games anymore

@The_Joneser_PSN I was on a rant, didn’t care if I made it easy to read. Also sick of asking nicely when it’s the same washed game over and over. Oh this year they made the belts look more realistic and decided to take franchise mode online out of the game.

No doubt! See my post! I’m sure u can agree. I’ve been telling them for years and our thoughts are completely irrelevant. It’s 2025 and they can’t get tiny things right? Why isn’t the royals secondary color baby blue by now? We don’t even have a decent baby blue we can use on that terrible color chart. Just give us a color editor and we’ll do it ourselves. They had those in games in the early 200’s . What drives me even more crazy than the terrible cleats, batting gloves, batting gear, gloves, arm sleeves, etc and the face we can’t just get plain white adidas or under armor bgs or cleats with the team color one as the logo is that there isn’t even a away default uniform we can select for our players. If they’re wearing white and u want them to wear team color one as their cleats and batting gloves for away games. I have to change it every home and away game/series . It’s pathetic man. All of it. Esp the Nike arm sleeve that no one wears and hasn’t for 5 years and the lame chains they’ve used since the beginning. No diamonds, just any color (all 20 of them) metal u want….

I’ve been saying this for a long time and clearly our ideas and wants are irrelavant but I saw a discussion on Reddit about the authenticity of the gear players are wearing and this was my response to the post. Just figured I’d throw it all out there again even tho it’s too late….again. Thanks SDS for the minimal effort on details again!!!!

“I’m with u, The fact that they can’t make the royals second color baby blue or even use a decent baby blue that we could use drives me crazy. No one where’s the rusty gold with their uniforms…. Ever. It’s 2025 and we can’t even get a home and away default uniform. I don’t wanna have to change me stuff around every home and away game/series. What if I don’t want white cleats and batting gloves when I’m away and I want the team color 1? It’s honestly pathetic. Plus the cleats, gloves, batting gloves, the terrible Nike arm sleeve that’s been in the game for 5 years that no one wears anymore. Can’t even get plain white batting gloves with a blue adidas logo or under armor logo. They can’t add a large Nike arm guard like vladdy wears sometimes bc they have the small one? No new balance anything other than cleats and man those are awful. Have to be gold. I know it’s the ohtanis but so many players wear new balances with their main. Team color as the logo on white cleats and we don’t get that option on anything except the Nike batting gloves and cleats. Last year the cleats were just all white. I totally understand that majority of the people don’t care but a lot of us want it to look authentic. I edit every player to make them wear what they wear. I edit every pitchers pitch mix, velocity, and break using baseballsavant before I start my franchise or whatever I’m doing. Takes days but it’s worth it imo. It’s a multimillion dollar company and it’s 2025 and they can’t get the tiny details right? Or give us 2 jersey slots? Come on? I’d take 3 or 4 tbh .the gloves don’t look anything like the leather they use. Esp the tan gloves. The bats don’t look like wood and they sound like fire crackers on PP. can’t have logos on the arm bands or edit the colors of the numbers? Like come on? The same chains they’ve used since the beginning look terrible. No diamonds just any color metal u want…..Don’t even get me started on player face scans. Last year they definitely did better than the past but the tigers….. More than half the starting roster was non face scan garbage. that was pathetic. Same with Jose Soriano and Tyler Fitzgerald , I can name a bunch but u get the point. They’ll make sure we have mason black tho Every single slider, sweeper, curve, etc breaks the exact same. Sinkers barely move unless they have 90+ break. 2 seamers don’t move at all. Sorry rant over but at least they made the player attributes and stuff more realistic this year and it’s not the same bill [censored] game again. I really wish someone else had some rights to mlb video games. If they somehow could ever make a ncaa baseball franchise I would never play this re run of the show again. I. Only play it bc I’m a die hard baseball fan and it’s my only option. Other than Japanese stuff and I want the big leagues.”

I agree! The colors we get tn choose from are terrible. Esp the light blues and the mint greens. Just give us a color wheel where we can make any color we want bc they’re too lazy to do anything right. Give us a couple options for jerseys and what they wear with home and Away so I don’t have to change their uniform every time I play home or away. The pitches are all the same. Every slider breaks the same none have downward shape. The 2 seamers don’t move at all. Almost every player has the same bar slam unless they’re an all start or super start. It’s pathetic. They’re just lazy devs

Y’all couldn’t add the Detroit tigers you never added all year? Final roster update after three weeks and you couldn’t make the effort to add Reese Olson, beau briekse, colt Keith, wenceel Perez, Tyler Hilton?????? What a joke!!!! They probably wouldn’t have their batting stances and the commentary probably wouldn’t people to pronounce their names like triple, Schneider, and multiple other players in the game. Too lazy to get face scans and too lazy to add the batting stances and commentary lol. Last time I ever buy these games. Ronald acuna doesn’t even have his batting stance all year long. It been on vet stance 1. Get it together! Million/billion dollar industry and can’t figure out how to do face scans! It’s pathetic!

I see plenty of people not able to play positions they can. Just edit him and make it his second position
