@Apolloz_99_MLBTS Holy chit! Do you have a crush on Koogs? Are you an aspiring streamer? Did I rub your vajayjay the wrong way, babe? Real men want to bust their butts. Not wear makeup for their Show stream.

@WolfgangMLB_XBL I looked up that streamer and he looks like the roach king. What a dirtbag. What's his gamertag? I'ma light him up. He puts on his bio that he's autistic. Since when is that something to brag about. I highly doubt it. These twerps look for sympathy any way they can

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL The gameplay is always going to be what it is. I'm actually hitting better this year than ever before. I use zone, but I'm not a fan of all the new hitting styles along with being able to guess inside/outside. I do like not having to warm up your pitchers, but I find it hard to see other pertinent game information like who's coming up next and whatnot. The d pad options and menu suck on this game. It should be easy to find attributes and stats in game.

The bad things I've noticed in gameplay: doubled and triples are a lot harder to get than in the past. I'm seeing a lot of balls bouncing off the gloves of highly rated outfielders. The stealing and bunting are out of control. I think I've been thrown out once in 300+ SB attempts. No BS. I've yet to throw anyone out stealing. Last time I played bunting was neutered. Now it's encouraged and everyone can lay a bunt down.

I'm not a fan of how they changed online play. I don't like playing the CPU and I have to do a lot of missions, mini seasons and showdowns this year. It's like banging your head on the wall. I hate em.

I'll never understand grownass men streaming video games

@Dolenz_PSN Oh I hear ya, but only a very few make that kind of money. I'm talking the mindset to want to do that. How much estrogen is pumping through you to say, "Babe, I'm just going to sit here and play games all day and act like a child while making goofy faces for my thumbnails. Better yet I'll use AI to make my beard look better"

I've been playing DD since it's inception. I can't believe what has happened with this game. There were no bots in the marketplace in 2024. How did it come to this? And what is with the theory that SDS made the bots? It's hard to believe, but at the same time why would they allow these bots too exist in the first place? There's undoubtedly technology out there that could stop the bots, so why not implement it? And I'm not talking about a 15 second wait time on the app.

I don't use the app and have never wanted the app. They need to get rid of it. All it does it clog up the game servers with people playing on it all day. And that's before I get into all the idiots who don't know what they're doing. I pulled Ryan Howard Awards card last night. It was only 3-4000 stubs and I was only getting a little more than quick sell value back. Some idiot had 12 of them he was trying to get out from under from.

I've never seen so many idiots on this market. Monkey see, monkey do chit. Hundreds of cards listed for less than they would get back from a quick sell. SDS has literally ruined their own card market. It's time to go back to console only marketplace or get rid of it all together. It's been the same chit since DD began. Give me unsellable versions as I progress. I don't care. I'm here to play the game. Not flip cards.

It's clear that SDS doesn't want you to swing at the first pitch during Showdown. There used to be a hidden penalty for swinging first pitch. They wouldn't admit it, but it was obvious and it's still around. SDS wants to dictate how you play this game on your own time.

If you take 2 strikes on every batter you will beat this easily. They'll literally give you hits on the worst PCI placement ever. But if you swing first pitch and perfect/perfect it's right at someone.

Can't wrap my head around why the developers would make their game modes play so differently. It's mind boggling the inconsistency of the game play

@samguenther1987_PSN Duran isn't a mini-seasons card though. His price dropped in half for that hour and then back to where it's at. Years ago me and others were temporarily banned just for simply making too many transactions. For this to go on is a slap in the face to people who bought and play this game. SDS can easily identify these accounts. What do you have once your player base loses faith in you? For real

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN I hear ya, but my issue is with how they penalize your good input because you didn't see the amount of pitches they think you should see. How many moments have you finished on the worst possible contact ever, but your good contact is being caught at the wall or being snagged by a corner infielder or outfielder.

@TheGoaler_PSN Yep. How beautiful The Show looked is what hooked us. Then they never updated the graphics and it's 2026
