Here's what should be addressed for next year's game. Less Noobs!! you guys think I'm trolling or being silly..but no. I think the show should be released in two versions..one for online casuals/noobs/DD/default sliders/ players. And one for Franchise players,please put effort into franchise and simulation. As a base the game is amazing, once sliders are adjusted and you're good enough to play at max speeds this game is as good as any sim game. Its the annoying casual players that have the loudest voice on this forum, and that's the voice SDS shouldn't listen to or else this game will turn into FIFA football or any game that loses it's integrity. Its baseball!! its suppose to be hard...forget with the stubs and cards and Diamonds or whatever...go play baseball! Aren't you all here for baseball?

While i agree with some of what you say, fact is every year there will be noobs. I do however feel if they would put more into Franchise and RTTS it would make the game more balanced. Giving people a better experience in other areas could reduce the amount of toxicity among the players.

They do need to put more resources toward those 2 modes so they can streamline where they are wanting to get too with those modes. They talked about getting a foundation built for those modes and i feel like they got it. Now to just start implementing new features that are appealing and somewhat coincide with what people are asking for.

I have watched them grow as a team as so have many others. The idea that offline modes are not appealing is false narrative in gaming communiy as a whole. You have people with family and other things in life going on where not everybody has time to grind the DD mode. So making the offline modes more appealing allows everyone to enjoy game in there own way.

To go back to the Noob statement for a second. Having New people playing is a good thing. It allows for a new generation to experience what alot of us veterans have got too. Along with increased overall sales from new players. But they have to improve upon other modes to also retain customers. Otherwise it will become a vicous cycle.

I feel like as a veteran player of over 10+ years playing and so many others like me have paid our dues in helping this team become what it is today. To ask for more focus to other modes besides DD is not to much to ask. It will still give them overall sales while at the same time appealing to the younger online crowd and in turn retaining the veteran player base.

But the noobbsss....Too. Much. Newbssssssss. My theory is SDS is in bed with red bull and the company that makes hot pockets....more newbssss equals more hot pockets and red bull sales, and to a lesser extent pokimon card collecting, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it

I disagree. Newbies are going to be part of any game. They have a right to be here. Veterans shouldn’t have any more rights than noobs do.

I'm not arguing with you, I don't expect everyone to be as amazing as me in The Show. Noobs can have fun playing at grandma pitch speeds or collect all the cards they want for their All-Star teams, I just don't want them to come on here and cry about the game being garbage cause they haven't practiced enough. I just don't want all their crying and complaining to influence SDS to make the game easier and more nooby. I want the Simulation aspect to improve as the year's go by, this year's hitting is amazing!! best it has ever been, the hit variety is great. Noobs will always be noobs, I get that...I have the same arguments with the F1 fourms of how 95% of them drive in T-Cam instead of Cockpit cam..I get it, casuals make up the majority of gaming I just don't want their voice to hinder The Show becoming more and more of a Simulation of baseball.

It’s not just trash players complaining honestly it’s probably more of the good players complaining… the hitting is so whacked out and un rewarding this year it’s crazy , pitching improved tho n that’s prolly y people feel like hitting got better because it’s harder to pitch toxic pitches that doesn’t mean hitting improved at all

@tripleh-4481_psn said in 22 worse than 21?:

It seems to be the popular opinion on this forum that 22 is a significant downgrade from 21. I tend to agree as I feel like 21 was a more enjoyable and rewarding experience by a good margin thus far. Do we think the vast majority of the player base feels this way or just the vocal minority on the forum? Just curious.

It really isn’t rewarding the 1-2-3 innings off of completely perfect swings is crazy this year

Matt carp 3rd baseman Topps card

Are you saying you want one or did they announce one?

I wish they could take back the prime card because this is a cool moment in the season and it deserves some recognition. What a huge month he's having for the best team in baseball. It's the mustache. 6 HRs in first 10 games is the most ever.

I want one ? If they said sum u woulda Hurd from sum else

If your good at the game you know y hitting needs to be fixed up a bit if you play offline r suck this doesn’t apply to u offline is good there’s things u can add to it but that doesn’t change the fact that hitting online is sum times just a miserable experience u have no control over just cause the game feels bad for your opponent

1. Possible yes. Feasible no.they would have to have the rights for every player of the teams.
2. 2018 might be limited on manage only mode, they did expand it but i cant remember the year they did that.

2k did it

What sport? how many players each team?

Basketball .’,all off them besides like maybe handful group of players n the teams be of different eras per team unless they were but teams going all the way back

2 k has more players then this game at the end of the year then this does at the start of the year idk what your point is there even tho 2k still sucks they were able to do it n this game has so much potential it just borderline mid

What Do You Guys Want in MLB 22 The Show

Not to get screwed by the game 20 foul balls to my 5 his 2 home runs for good swings 3 singles 1 double n a warning track for perfect perfect n swinging thru pitches I clearly know I’ve timed even the bottom left shows the bat just swing thru the ball r the ball just randomly zoom speed bast as my bat stuck not movin

@sackattack23_xbl said in Hittin sucks rn:

Really love giving up a home run that practically hit the batter in the face that was also 100 mph at least to perfect perfect warning track this people who say hittin is good rn r horrible at the game r are prolly only be gettin wins off the cheasiest hits

The only reason I threw fastball to fast cause he was swinging at everything n just foulin off absolutely everything

Really love giving up a home run that practically hit the batter in the face that was also 100 mph at least to perfect perfect warning track this people who say hittin is good rn r horrible at the game r are prolly only be gettin wins off the cheasiest hits

If this game was better more people would be into baseball n that’s just facts

@ironman004_psn said in Why can't they fix hitting:

The hitting started off good. PCI was on point however I've noticed that during online ranked game play the weaker the opponent the more susceptible you are to losing. No matter what adjustments are made the game plays in favor of your weaker opponent. I have consistent images on my PS 5 where my PCI placement was good and my timing was good and sometimes perfect, these resulted in outs. However, my opponent gets a hit with a ball in on the handle or a homer on a pitch up and in. Example: last night I hit a ball with D'Arnaud perfect timing dead center end result routine fly ball. Realistically based on accuracy this game is over. 9th inning with 2 outs I bring in Jansen on a righty righty match up the first cutter I throw Teoscar Hernandez hits a homer to LEFT (395FT.) on a cutter (down and away outside corner). Then in extras runner advances on a passed ball and RAMIEL TAPIA HITS A SEEING EYE SINGLE IN ON THE HANDS THAT ROLLS OVER SECOND BASE AT ABOUT 10MPH COSTING ME THE GAME!!!!!! This is a constant and that was the same issue last year. I dropped from 1922 to 1908 because of that. I have beaten top 10 players on this game but yet I lose to a player ranked 1000 because San Diego Studios refuses to fix an issue that has been plaguing this game for years. FIX THE HITTING PLAIN AND SIMPLE IF NOT THINGS GOTTA GO BOTH WAYS. JUST BECAUSE MY OPPONENT IS NOT HIGHLY RANKED DOESNT MEAN THE GAME SHOULD RUN IN A WAY TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WIN.

Bro this is the only real comment I’ve seen this is what I’ve been trying to say n I don’t think it’s only when players r worse then u it feels like the second u score the first run no matter how late r early into the game the second after u score it the other team starts swinging with metal bats n it’s so depriving

It's insane how inaccurate their hitting mechanism is.... [censored] games almost as broken as Vanguard

What exactly do you think is broken? All due respect, but telling SDS to "fix the hitting" is not helpful. In order to fix something, you have to know what the problem is. I don't personally have a problem with the hitting.

The fact that hitting becomes 5 times easier the second your losing

That's a pretty strong conspiracy theory. Got any proof?
Bro play the game do u not play the game is not got about 60 sum wins prolly 40 sum loses in ranked n almost every game i play the second one of us gets a lead the other swings with a metal bat the next inning n I’m not saying it impossible to not give up a home run to these metal bats but take a 1-0 lead the other person gettin foul balls till they launch one 50 percent of the time u losing by 1 the hits that we’re flying to the outfielder go to gaps r 425 feet bombs n I’ve hit plenty of first home runs n stayed in plenty of games where people hit first home run on me

What’s a tin hat

The problem is it’s 10 times easier to hit when losing
