We've 100% won coop games we've had no business winning, and I feel for them because we've been on the other end as well.

We take the W, but sometimes it cheapens it a bit when we know why we won

@MarinerMatt01_PSN said in I Wish More People played Ranked Online:

Every game is decided on who gets lucky enough to get a solo shot on an RNG hanger for a 1-0 victory

This isn't 100% true. Maybe in Spring Training where guys just free swing until they clobber something by chance...but once you're out of that you play people who at least know how to hit and pitch. I WILL say DD offense IS powered by homers more than it should be...rarely do you see "manufactured" runs

Another update, another update missing anything for stadium creator. Something's up because they are dripfeeding stuff through tiny updates, which is giving the impression that had NOTHING prepared for the game outside of programs.

@Suel-21_PSN

I used to upload and show off my creations in the reddit mlbtheshowstadiums page at least twice a week. I've barely done anything with it this year because we're officially at the point with the creator where it's all been done now, the lack of any really useful props or modernized templates really beginning the hinder the mode.

I think what SDS has done (more accurately, not done) with the stadium creator has borderlines on deliberate obsolescence.

@Suel-21_PSN unfortunately- no. They seemed to completely ignore the mode this year, sadly. We get the perfunctory "it'll be passed along to the team" from JoeK every so often, but that's about it.

Suggestions for (very obvious) crucial and integral upgrades and updates to the mode have largely been dismissed leaving creators feeling extremely unheard. Things like begging them to NOT nerf the foul ground wall movement and instead build on it so we could use the space, only to have them kick us in the junk and "fix" it (which by the way failed entirely because the exploiting stadiums were still in use)

At this stage, they're likely putting the work into 26, so anything this year is out of the question UNLESS, they decide to try stuff in 25 to see if it will work for 26

-Stadium Creator getting a much needed and life-saving upgrade which would include:

1- Different base template- gotta be something modern, the jewelbox design hasn't been used regularly in over 50 years.

2- Giving users the ability to adjust and play with foul ground, but implement a restriction that prevents the walls from being less than a foot away from the foul line(think Wrigley's design)

3- Giving users some creative flexibility with the outfield. Implement min/max restrictions to prevent moronic designs (nothing shorter than 315 down the lines, and 395 to center) in order to keep a stadium online-eligible. If this is done correctly, it should also eliminate the over-modelling of the walls, which creates that ugly unusable space.

4- Use the wall, as well as the batter's eye as hard trim points, which would allow users to make seamless/clean designs

5- More modern seating options, right now even the plaza/suite levels look too bland and generic.

6-Add staircases for each level of seating...this way we can create our own sections.

7- This is more a personal thing, but I'd love to be able to select whether or not a particular section of seats/bleachers is full, 3/4, 1/4, sparse, or empty. Might add to some of the realism

@Sarge1387_PSN

Exactly. Instead of all this new trendy garbage. I’ve turned the music off for years because it’s been awful.

I remember the old EA baseball games and even early versions of the Show having pretty decent music but that was a long time ago.

Exactly. And like @SaveFarris_PSN said, it does cost money and it may take away from the game dev money.

There's just so many low budget bands/musicians out there that are better than the stuff they toss on there now.

@LHUBison58_XBL said in All every player has been cheating since season 4:

It’s like reading Bob Dylan lyrics while on an acid trip.

More like hearing them when on an acid trip

Honestly, DQ isn't worth the hassle anymore...not that it really was to begin with. It's largely been a flop because the rewards aren't worth it

@SDS_JoeK_PSN

Maybe some classic tunes mixed with newer stuff?

-John Fogarty "Put me in, Coach"
-Franz Ferdinand "Take me Out"
-Nelly "Batter Up"
-CCR "Bad Moon Rising"
-Kevin Rudolph "Let it Rock"
-Metallica "Enter Sandman"
-Beastie Boys "No Sleep til Brooklyn"
-Aiden "Die Romantic"
-The Interrupters "Gave you Everything"

Stadium Creator desperately needs upgrades...

1- at the absolute bare minimum are removing the bullpens from the field of play, and changing the base template to something this century, if not allowing full customization of the foul ground (implement something that prevents the walls from being moved inward past the foul line)

2- a bit more freedom to play with walls in the outfield, provided the stadium meets min/max requirements for online eligibility (nothing shorter than 315 down the lines, or less than 395 to center, for example)

Some games are just like that. The other night my buddy and I were playing a coop game...and it was a shootout of home runs for them, IMMEDIATELY after we took the lead, and coinciding with oddly timed lag spikes that morphed pitches right down the d!ck. Sometimes it just happens that way.

I'm not saying they were up to anything suspicious, because I know how janky the servers are at teh best of times. Although given the timing of it...I can't rule it out completely.

Ugh tell me about it. I’ve received 7 Amed Rosario’s, 5 Andrew Chafins, and now 5 Mike Soroka’s.

The “Summer” program packs were even worse. Paul DeJong x 8, Geraldo Perdomo x 6, and two others at 5 a piece. Only different ones I got were from the program itself.

@fubar2k7_PSN

I think EA is actually prepping to get back into the baseball game, no pun intended. Them buying SMB was likely a stepping stone, as it gives them a baseball skeleton to build off of.

I wouldn't be opposed to them making another NCAA baseball game either

I'd feel better if they reverted the XP gains from games to previous levels. Two years ago they quietly cut it in half, and have dodged questions about it ever since. What we now get as "double XP" is just the regular amount we used to get.

I don't know if it's SDS, but there's definitely bots you can use for buying/selling using the website. That's more likely the case.

Yeah it's been embarrassingly horrendous this year as far as moments go. I only just completed that Sammy Sosa moment where you needed 8 bases...I got walked SO many times

@yankblan_PSN said in Let’s be honest:

@PriorFir4383355_XBL it’s latency, mostly. Not much can be done. I don’t have the answer to that, but removing outliers will make games batting practice and strike outs near impossible.

Ehhh no not really, at least not once you're out of the veteran levels. MAYBE on the lower difficulties I could see that being the case, but it's already that anyways. But I do agree on your point about the latency, there's definitely input lag

@PriorFir4383355_XBL

I feel the pain. Although the way I've worked around it is by creating staircases to fill the spaces. With some trial and error I've finally been able to make it look like it's not covering up an awkward gap.

I use meter and see this consistently...not sure why.
