@sbchamps17 A couple Snaphot LFers to look at that I did well with are Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice.

Looks like that clown is trying for another permanent ban. Why even bother coming back?

I already explained, it's free comedy. I forgot to tag you, my bad. You're definitely part of the circus too.

Better go ahead and add me to the list too. You’ve got a mouth like an open sewer. This forum has sucked since you came back. You make fun of anyone for everything and yet you’ve got the thinnest skin of anyone I’ve ever seen on here. You’re pathetic.

Added. Happy? Few more and we can make our own circus baseball team

Haha that is one quality troll post I'm not gonna lie.

There is a reason why it is on the schedule.

Ah man, I thought you were just having a p!ss which would've been really quality banter. Guess we'll wait and see what the surprise is then.

@collin_sds are there any new gameplay features beyond storylines?

Tune in and find out.

@palmerjones said in Storylines: Derek Jeter:

So that leaves 2 feature premiers left and one is for DD.

Don't forget the Dev Tourney.

Haha that is one quality troll post I'm not gonna lie.

Again as I said before I plan on trying to play more online with this next game with cross play turned off, it's a total lag fest with it turned on. You try playing on Nintendo switch against PS and Xbox players and see what happens. I apologize for what I said before but it's still not right to make fun of people who only play offline

Again, whatever you want to do with this game is up to you. You don't owe me or anyone else an explanation. Trust me I'm aware of the lag fest, it's not just on Switch and ironically one of the reasons why I chose not to purchase MLBTS 23.
Apology accepted, but like you say it's not right to make fun of people who only play offline.. it's also not right to tell people they don't know what they're talking about when you literally have no idea of what I do and do not know.

Yes, and I thought my point was pretty obvious. Guess not.

Regardless, I have stressed my frustration with SDS not offering us a current gen version several times on this forum. I've played MLBTS on the PS5 since '22 and wish, as much as anyone, that we had an up to date video game to enjoy.

I saw hair flapping around for a split second on Vlad Jr and Hader right before the Negro League stream last week. That must mean something.

It means that Manny Ramirez will be the LS collection reward

Absolutely not, like never. Not even about the money, stubs are just too easy to make. And not only that but I also don't want to give SDS a penny more than what I need to pay for the base game until they start to make some real changes.

I agree. And just to show that the argument about budget and all that is not always the case, Rockstar has all the budget in the world and yet they can't be bothered by making a Red Dead Redemption 2 patch that enables 4K/60hz for current gen, despite a huge customer base who have been begging for it for years.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X said in Is it true?:

Chances are that these 'bigger' companies that have different versions of the game for next gen and old gen users also have the manpower to develop these games.

Let's assume that you need two different teams to work on the game. One for each gen console.

SDS probably thinks that it's not financially beneficial for them to pay another team for the extra players that would buy the next gen version of the game. Also take into affect that a majority of the people that will buy the next gen version are already buying the game as it is.

That's fine, in that case you just make a choice and stick with it. Which would mean you develop for CURRENT gen and not last gen for an 11 year old console. Not doing so is also a choice. A lazy one. Because they can just keep riding the same old game we've had for years and years and hide behind the fact that it has to run on PS4 as well. Convenient isn't it?

Steel in your gut? Are you in prison?

@raesONE- said in Is it true?:

It is lazy. Look at what 2K does, they cater to both previous and current gen by releasing two completely different games. You can say whatever you want about 2K, but THAT is how it's done. I don't understand why people defend these choices so hard, unless you're one of the people who is still playing on a previous gen console. In that case it totally makes sense but at the same time it would also make you biased.

I'm not necessarily defending it but simply rationalizing why they still support last gen consoles.

Could it be laziness? Maybe. But I doubt it. Frugalness is probably the better explanation. If I was a betting man then I would venture to say that Sony probably does not give them the budget needed to cover the extra bandwidth on the employee side.

But by all means, consider me a defender for simply trying to think about the situation logically, and not letting emotions rule my discussions. I have had a PS5 since launch day (and a Series X as of last year) so of course I would like an enhanced version so, if anything, I would be biased the other direction.

Fair enough. I'm not ruled by my emotions either, I am simply concluding that SDS is holding itself back by continuous support of last gen consoles. It's been 4 years now and the reports in the media today are about how the PS5 is entering the latter stage of its life cycle. And yet somehow they still make the exact same game for both platforms. That is just awful, PS5 users like you and me and many others have not been able to enjoy and experience a true current gen baseball game in 4 years because the product has to be able to run on an 11 year old system.

@fubar2k7 said in New 2024 jerseys:

That would be Nike aka the official jersey maker of MLB. I sure do miss Majestic.

Actually, Nike is only responsible for the design. The manufacturing is handled by Fanatics, which ironically is being done in the same Pennsylvania based factory as where the old Majestic uniforms were made.
