Standings, Stats & History then Game History. Select the game and it gives you the option to report. That lets you report team names and connections issues to SDS. I'M talking about how you used to type in a player's ID, select it like you were getting ready to send a msg, then click on Select Players, then select that player like you were going to block them; but instead I think you selected 'Options' on the controller when the 3 dots by their ID was selected. Then you can report their USER ID to SIE like you would report a vulgar message. Wait I'm confused here, help me out. You say this person has messages turned off, and that's why you can't report this person. But that means no conversation took place and so I wonder what's worth reporting if this person hasn't said anything? He has, what I consider to be, a vulgar and rude PSN ID. So he didn’t message you anything vulgar, Didn’t say anything vulgar in a party to you & didn’t do anything illegal during gameplay...But you don’t like his gamertag & want to tattle to get him suspended or banned. People can be unreal sometimes, Just wow.

Sony makes that decision, not the reporting player. Everybody has the right to report a person’s gamertag that they consider to be offensive. If Sony finds it offensive, action is taken. If not, then no action. It’s not like the OP came on here spouting how offended they were and how important their own opinion is. They didn’t even refer to anything about the gamertag in question. They just asked how they would report something to Sony. It was done the right way.
If anybody can help the OP, please do so.
Many ideas, several that can be streamlined in RTTS, Franchise and M2O (and season mode if it returns, and it should) if they all run from the same platform:
Promotion/demotion based on performance and other RTTS universe variables, not attributes. If I’m batting below Mendoza for a couple of years straight I shouldn’t expect a spot in the starting lineup or even in the Majors the following year just because my attributes are higher than the AAA guy (bear in mind I have limited knowledge of roster movement rules).
IL return through rehab assignments.
Make a big thing of spring training and a spring training invitation, especially for a AA and AAA player.
More off-field meaningful interactions:
extend the use of relationships and personality. These have a great platform to build from. Make the social media tweets more useful and interesting (and fix up the bugs in the management of them).
Interactions with team Manager, GM and agent should be user-controlled (there used to be an option to speak to your team manager) with the occasional auto one.
When you have a really bad game or a really good game (eg player of the game good) have a media interaction. This can impact upon relationship with GM/Franchise team mates, oppo players and fans.
Other off-field interactions also.
5 Awarding of attribute points to continue the way it is, but after a game ask the player if they would like to allocate the points to the default attributes (current method) or choose themselves to which attributes they are assigned (old method). This meets the needs of those who want to create a god and those who prefer it to be more real.
More to come...
Just feel like sharing something positive, I just PB’ed my local 5km parkrun track, smashed my previous best (at which I had hit a plateau) by 44 seconds! Last August when I started I was over 31 minutes now I’m down to 21:13.
I can’t wait for parkrun to start up again, it is an awesome thing to be a part of. Feels great and it’s all free! Joining, when it’s back up and running in your area, is highly recommended!
@halfbutt and @comebacklogic great posts.
‘ The real nail in the coffin was the “random hangers on good input”. I can’t offer any rationale on SDS’ thought process here. ’
Comeback, I reckon halfbutt gave the rationale - wait for a mistake.
Halfbutt, in saying that, this is where the emulating real life hitting has been attempted. You are so right in saying that the pitcher controls the outcome of a plate appearance. Batters are at the mercy of the pitcher, and pitchers have the batter’s reputation at the front of mind when selecting which pitch, when and where.
I wish I had more time to think this response through, but I don’t so I’ll give a sentence.
Unfortunately, of course, as you have both alluded to, the balance isn’t quite right yet because the market is a blend of ‘casual noobs’ who just want to win despite their lack of practice or skills, and die hards who want their own skills to matter more.
Edit: these two sub-markets need to be separated in online play. Custom Leagues is a start.
The core purpose of the mode is to enjoy the season experience without having to play a full season or worry about the complexity of managing a franchise. It’s ‘season lite’ if you will. Some people enjoy it for that.
It’s not irrelevant to them at all.
@geek_logic_mlbts said in RTTS Feedback Blog Post:
I feel like I was just told “sorry-not-sorry” by the game devs. Having my Road to the Show player capped until I participate in Diamond Dynasty is absolutely unacceptable.
That’s the complete opposite of what it says.
@rabid55wolverine said in The stupidity that is moments:
I don't know why this company does this with moments. I have a very hate type relationship with moments in this game and the last one so I decided to check out just how stupid things are. Using the TN Adam Duvall moment, I played it 18 times where you have to get 8 total bases. I did it decently quickly but that isn't really the point. So in those 18 times I have done the moment, not completed, just the moment itself I saw 29.7% strikes. This is on veteran difficulty. I was walked 12 times mostly because I was trying to take a lot of pitches to see what would happen. I struck out 4 times and had numerous hits. I was also beaned 3 times. All 3 times with 2 strikes on me. So then I jumped into play VS CPU and played vs Atlanta and Mac Fried. In those games, I only played 3 but the whole 9 inning games and faced 73.1% strikes. I drew 1 walk and wasn't hit by a pitch. This speaks absolute volumes for me on how absolutely stupid these moments really are. I know, I have no life but I just thought I'd share this completely useless info.

When actual data is compiled and analysed like this it is so much more convincing and satisfying to read than the usual (justified nonetheless) complaint posts. Thank you for thinking to and going to the effort of doing this.
Moments really are the ‘busy work’ of this game. I would also add Showdown, Conquest and Events to that category. In fact, anything that detracts from playing actual baseball or team management (ie grinding) could be classed as busy work (the purpose of which is to keep the player engaged in the game without giving the opportunity to learn anything new or improve any skills). That ain’t baseball.
What needs to happen is that sort of thing needs to be put on YouTube as a full unedited clip, complete with inputs shown and all. Set that capture time to last 60 mins and when it’s all done, simply save and edit down to the start of the game and upload.
If there’s video evidence out there, people will have no choice but to believe it instead of dismissing it. That way specific instances of dodgy gameplay can be pointed out and hopefully taken notice of by those with influence on the making of the game. Yes, words are therapeutic (I get the impression from your post that this isn’t a rant, more of a sharing of your disbelief), but your experience sounds like an opportunity to really expose the ridiculousness of what happens. Video speaks volumes!
Your experience is a reassurance that my preference for non-DD is the right choice for me.
If you don’t dive, you miss out on opportunities like this: MLB The Show 19 foul ball in the crowd caught by 1B bug https://youtu.be/2v3J1KgrCXA
@pogibana said in We need Something New!!:
Yea Yea Yea just what we need. Add more garbage when the stuff we have now is only half done. How about instead complete the stuff added already first. Like being able to call your agent instead of waiting for him, social media that actually works, and a personality thing that that makes sense
Three of his four ideas revolve around current content in RTTS being improved to make them more worthwhile.
I’m all for all of the above except the online play idea. I can see multiple RTTS worlds colliding somehow in the future, but not quite like that.

The movie underutilises the Chad Bradford story which is one of the best parts of the book… along with… well, basically every other part of the book. But the movie also includes him superficially and as a result his inclusion is kind of pointless.
But the movie does some things wonderfully. Billy, Pete and Grady are perfect. Paul/Pete’s reminder to Billy that he has changed the game forever without realising it by showing him the Jeremy Brown home run is the book’s epilogue and it is even more perfectly represented in the movie.
Seriously, you gotta read it or even better, listen to the audiobook. The guy who reads it (I got it on Audible) is absolutely perfect at it. All of those players and more (including coaching staff) get their fair share of attention.
Now I want to listen to it again for the 8th time

I want to see the stats for how many pitchers get hurt batting a year compared to total AB. There's nothing more boring than watching an inept pitcher try to hit or lay down a sac bunt. Give me a DH who is a real hitter. Has nothing to do with pitchers getting injured while batting, it's about entertainment value.

There’s nothing more entertaining in baseball than a pitcher hitting a home run or two in a game.
Back in 16 Syndergaard hit two dingers in a game and the second one was after he showed bunt twice in the AB. That’s entertainment.
#2 can be completely avoided by using classic baserunning (buttons and d-pad).
This thread is awesome for many reasons, most of all being so far everybody who has commented this far (myself included) have been regulars on this forum for several years. Not only that, you all always come across as decent people in other threads.
Chuck I’ve regularly considered the same thing from even before I picked up my PS5 and I’m still unsure. I’ve only bought one PS5 game and it’s TS21. And I haven’t played that game in months, in fact I put in about 100 hours (down 87% from the previous seven versions of the game) and decided to uninstall it and reinstall 17. Now I too have switched to golf.
I’ve kind of lost interest in games in general and I’ve started watching some of the many TV series I’ve purchased over the last few years. Currently working on Blue Heelers, The Heroes I and II (Australian miniseries set in WWII based on a couple of real-life missions), Alfred Hitchcock Presents, MASH. I even watched Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury the other day.
Showing my age here
Maybe Battlefield 2042 will reignite something.
Anyway, enjoying the thread.

I lost 1-0 on an Adam Duvall pp bomb off a pretty confident Walker Buehler. I had no walks, no hits and two strikeouts over three innings. There was one diving stop from the shift double play, one sliding defensive grab at short and a diving stop at first base.

Wish I could help you but for two things:
I would still like to hear your thoughts as a veteran (despite your age) of the game :).
Ok, so I just got the game, finally. What are some things that I should know? I have completely tuned out all things MLB The Show, so I know nothing. Thanks!
I’d be genuinely interested in your thoughts after playing for a while. Keep us posted here.
