It took them 7 games and a play at the plate to beat the Yankees in 17. All while knowing exactly what pitch was coming every single time in real time.

Last year, once Altuve hit a HR to beat the Yanks because he KNEW Chapman was throwing a slider, he pointed directly at his shoulder, wagged his finger “no no”, ran directly into the clubhouse to change, then said his “wife didn’t like it” when his shirt was ripped.

All of their home batting stats are higher than on the road the past few years. They are blatant cheaters, and an embarrassment to the game.

In the wise words of Gary Sanchez, “If I hit a walk off HR to put my team into the World Series, they can rip my pants off for all I care).

Listen, I’m a zone hitter, always have been. I’m more than competent. Ny issue with timing only or even directional (glorified timing mode) is that you are removing an important USER input such as having to place the PCI in the same pitch. I’ve tested it extensively and I make A LOT more contact overall and still hr’s. It’s anode “dumbed down@ for new players but it totally detracts from vets who fought in the past to make sure timing only was removed from online H2H play.

Why. Why Sony have you brought this No skill nonsense to online competitive play. I’m done unless they either remove it OR make a hardcore mode where it’s zone hitting default.

Needs to come back Even in other developers/publishers where “ultimate team” modes are available we can still play online franchise. Please bring it back, it’s sorely missing.

I’m sorry OP but you are dead wrong. With so many more players exposed to this great franchise, with all the new sales and DD money rolling in, that’s nothing but GREAT for Sony, and SDS! Allows them more financial backing and support to make this great game even better.

Also, if they are really smart, they go with the current trend, and most definitely future trend of full cross play. The MLB the Show community will increase by a huge magnitude, and that’s great for us all no matter where you choose to play this great franchise.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works. You must be new to gaming.

Lmao. I guarantee I may be gaming longer than you’ve been alive. Gamers having more choices on where to play any game on any platform they choose, and if cross play is enabled having that games community expand exponentially is nothing but good.

I’ve been playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare on my PC, and it’s awesome seeing all the PS and Xbox logos in the pre game lobby. Having more players to play with and against and a lively community is nothing but good. But then again maybe you haven’t been gaming that long.

We’ve been through this YEARS ago, and they at least listened and removed it from competitive play, and for good reason. Hitting iS hard, it’s part of the fun of baseball. Too much contact on balls having no business being even hit, batting averages are ridiculous. Bring skill and an even playing field back. You won’t, rather lose hardcore simulation fans who WANT the challenge of baseballl, to the droves of 12 year olds hitting mom and dad up for more stubs for the next diamond player.

In a game of competition you cannot have one person literally holding a beer in one hand and just holding one finger on the X button making easy contact, hitting hr’s while other people are using zone and having to PLACE the PCI AND Time.

Timing only offline? Have at it, enjoy. Online? It ruins the game and isn’t fun at all. Done already this year, it’s the only game I really love and buy faithfully every year being a baseball junkie but I’m done. I’m American and all for capitalism and free market, but there has to be some balance of quality.

That part is way wrong. Not until 2019 did they have a better record at home or better run production, BA, Slugging, OBP, you name it.

Yet they are still confirmed cheaters going back to ‘17 minimum. You cannot possibly take one sentence of my post and try to justify their irrepressible actions. Total embarrassments to the game. Worse than steroid era or the Black Sox.

Just trying to keep you guys on your toes. People are steaming from the ears screaming a bunch of nonsense all over the place. Stick to the facts. Dont make them up. As you can see I clearly didnt say anything else yet you want to bring up "justify" like I am saying something totally different.

I don’t need to be kept on my toes. Why don’t you post Altuve’s, Correa’s, and Bregman’s home/away 2017 POST SEASON splits? I already know how lobsided they are, because I watched every pitch of the series and checked, you know google is your friend. Prove me wrong. Their ‘17 post season splits are a complete joke.

It is great for SDS, but I'm pretty sure Sony as a whole would rather it be a console exclusive, it's hard to say it's "great" for Sony. They want you on their platform, having THE exclusive baseball game sells consoles. I know it did for me, and because of that I've bought plenty more PS games since I chose the PS because of MLB The Show.

Basically, great for SDS and consumers, probably not ideal for Sony.

You do know Horizon zero dawn is coming to PC? And other Sony first party titles are rumored to also?

Yes, this does benefit Sony in a VERY big way. They will sell WAY more copies of the game AND expose all those new customers to Diamond Dynasty, where they will make a TON.

This isnt 1985 anymore people. Software sales, and in game digital content and purchases are where revenue is made. These companies make almost no money off selling hardware. In the past they’ve even sold at a loss.

Also, just like 3rd party developers, Sony, MS, Nintendo all get royalties from said 3rd party multi platform developers for each sale on their respective hardware. Sony will make money off each copy sold on any other console or PC, then count that DD money too. You better believe it’s good for Sony.

Call of duty? Lmao. This conversation is over.

Very mature. No substance of a response, just a vane attempt at trying to belittle someone. Well, this conversation is over, because you totally missed the point, and you have zero substantive response.

I agree online competitive games should all be zone hitting. There is zero competitive balance having people just press a button, Directional aka timing only. Only way to have a semblance of fair competition is if everyone uses the same settings.

HoF should be the standard difficulty for hittting and pitching too. Anyone who plays DD, it’s pretty much a “hardcore” mode, meaning people are spending money and grinding solos to improve their team. So being that it’s a hardcore mode there is no reason to ever have lesser difficulties until you reach 700. HoF all the way through!

Awesome job! He should be in DD. SDS, hits this dude.

Makes your Pro sound like its revving up for pre launch at Cape Canaveral.

@GoHardGrandpa said in How much does the game suffer on PS4 Pro when geared towards graphics?:

On the tv I play it on balanced and it’s fine, on my monitor I play it on fastest. It’s a lag fest on the highest quality graphics.

I can’t wait for it to come out on pc, I’ve got a beefy computer that will run it in 4k no problem.

Cant wait for PC release either!

Also 3-0 pitches.

See guys?, the ones complaining and making silly posts about fielding will never get fixed?.....use this post to apologize

Please ban this hot pocket eating, offline playing wannabe troll.

How is this trolling?, the majority of you guys complained constantly that the game is garbage and made multiple threads screaming from the hilltops wanting refunds and saying SDS is slacking off and don't care bla bla bla. Now what are you gonna complain about now? go head, make something up. Why don't you man up and use this post to apologize for all the doubts and accusations you guys made.

Are you serious? They released a patch last time saying it would fix fielding and they didn’t.

You say what else is there to complain about?

1. Inconsistent hitting feedback
2. Pitching accuracy issues - serving up meatball homeruns on good input
3. High sinkers
4. Facing 99 Kluber every friggin game!
5. Homerun or Bust feeling
6. Perfect/Perfect is a double play/warning track shot but a Good/Okay is a homerun blast into the upper deck
7. Base-runners running like they’re on ice
8. Changing hitting when it was near perfect in beta / 1st week.
9. Lying to us that skill will matter more than ever this year.

There’s more to complain about but I’m tired of it at this point.

Number 2 is as bad if not worse than the fielding. Pitching is like a [censored] shoot. Way too many solid “good” releases the ball just goes where it wants. It’s frustrating.

DJ Lemaihu tested positive too.

Native 4k locked 60 FPS. Ray Tracing, actual 3D grass, ball divets and skips, where players slide, all left in the dirt.

Just as important, much, much more fluid and animations and control over players.

Lastly, a fully fleshed out online league mode.

Yanks don’t lose two in a row, and they are NOT losing with Cole pitching. This is delusional thinking.

Edit: Dint see the date. You called the The Yankee game on point. Snell is one tough customer. Cole will cut through them tonight.

Somehow find out how this game could be playable online on TV, don't force us to buy pc monitor for console gaming

That’s a TV problem, not SDS one. They can’t change the input lag on your tv. I bought an LG OLED, with HDMI 2.1, it’s near instantaneous and picture quality destroys any monitor.

Are you concerned at all about burn-in? Have you noticed any? I used to game on a plasma but never noticed any burn in or ghosting.

Not worried in the least. Have had LG OLED for years, starting with the E7P. There are settings and safeguards built into the set, and I use varied content too. If I’m gaming and I’m gonna pause or be away for a long while I’ll just pause the game and turn the tv off. Little things just to be smart about it, but very long gaming sessions for years on these tv’s and never a single even scare of burn in.
