OP is from May of this year? It’s September now. I was just removed from the MLB roster just after I had pitched 2 straight W’s to win the ALCS. One no-hitter (my first), and the second throwing an immaculate 9th inning (9 strikes, 3ks) to shutout the series. Immediately following the game I was removed from the MLB roster for the World Series, which we then lost. I was a 92 ovr Starting Pitcher. It didn’t give me the chance to change my load out before the next game. It just removed me from the roster. 2 years in the minors. 1 year in the majors. .311 batting average, 70 rbis, 1.29 era with 200+ K’s. The next season starts with my team trading two of our all stars. Oh and without a message I had been moved back up to the majors. I guess it just wanted to script me losing the WS after the two best games of my career.
I cannot, for the life of me, think of a more mishandled sports video game. Like I said, it’s been 3 months since OP. Not sure I’ll ever play another The Show. It took me over a month IRL to get to the position where the game would (without cause or logic) strip me the benefit of playing the most meaningful series in the sport of baseball. With all of the work put into this game, it is an absolute travesty that this is a mechanic that STILL has not been addressed. My madness is unbridled and I hope my experience is one-off. But now I realize it’s been the norm for months. [censored] you all.
