and that watermarking with your username all over the screen - who thought this was a good idea? just brutal

standard operating procedure for game testing.

was that last years vibe? i remember we had the alpha test there wasn't anything like this

Yup. It was there last year and the year before

wild man i never remembered the hardcore watermarking before - i'll take your word for it

It was there

@savefarris_psn said in what do you guys think of the alpha test?:

if they're having server issues now; do you really think they can fix it in a little over a month?

Maybe that’s why they’re having a tech test? To sort out the issues NOW instead of after launch.

They had a “tech test” last year and the servers were dog sht and continue to be dog sht. This game needs a major overhaul in many areas that SDS refuses to do. I’ve played a little of the tech test and can’t say I’m excited to run out and buy it this year that’s for sure.

Same bad servers-check
Same horrible net code-check
Same RNG hitting-check
Same tired animations/graphics-check
Same broken pitcher stamina-check
Same tired commentary-check

But hey we got tons of new content to distract you smooth brains for another year so what do we care.

People keep saying, "how is this still happening". There has been no changes for months. The game is over. They aren't gonna mess with this game while working on 22. It is what it is.

And as I said before that’s a b.s. excuse. Not everyone buys the game every year so basically
SDS just gives those players a big F.U. and leaves them with a broken game? That’s no way to run a company.

You arent gonna get any new cards, events, RS and rewards either. Thats the way yearly sports games go. You are free to purchase ever year, every other year or whatever you want to do, but you arent gonna get new stuff for more than the first 6-9 Months after release. Also in a couple years the game will be taken offline. All sports game companies do it. Nothing new.

I understand and agree from a content standpoint that they are done. But leaving people who decide not to buy the new shiny object a still broken one from last year is a bunch of garbage.

@halfbutt_psn said in Any Chance at Gameplay Changes in '22?:

The gameplay changes amount to Randy Johnson in the game. That’s it!

Pretty much this. That is the SDS game plan every year. Hype the new shiny new cards and don’t attempt to fix the serious issues.

Don’t count on it. The hype machine is up and rolling and soon the sins of last years game will be soon forgotten by most. I’m holding out until I hear news from credible sources about how the game plays.

@chuckclc_psn said in Hurry up an preorder:

Because this game has been done for Months. Fix 22 leave 21 alone. No more effort is needed for this game.

Don’t buy that excuse at all. Not everyone buys the new game and might only purchase every other year because let’s face it, not much changes. So basically by using your logic, SDS is saying “screw you” to any of their player base who still wants to play last years game.

@halfbutt_psn said in Any Chance at Gameplay Changes in '22?:

I think it’s sad that we’re all about to accept the same product we have already paid for (numerous times in some cases) as an entirely new game.

Really, SDS should offer us new seasons as DLC or something. The game has barely changed in years.

They are lazy because they have no true competition. If another company was breathing down their neck’s with a quality baseball game, it would make them work just a little bit harder.

@chuckclc_psn said in Game is dogshit:

I will remember. That's the main reason to get 22. Quicker I can be done with 21 the better.

And I will bet you it will be the same sh*t. Horrible servers and the ever famous “challenge failed” messages. Your statement is what SDS lives for. I’m waiting to hear before they get a dime from me.

Who cares? I was 5 pitches into an event game today and it froze. This game is a joke at this point. The last two times I played it froze. The fact that the devs say nothing speaks volumes. Will not be buying the next one until the reviews are in.

I have barely touched this game in months but just hopped on to play an event game or two. I’m batting in the bottom of the first and sting one into the gap and the game freezes.
The silence from the devs in this game is sickening. They know how to appear when they push the new release and then disappear again. I will be waiting this year to see what people have to say before buying it that’s for sure.

@mrwonderful95 said in XSX (FreeSync) = H2H Competive Advantage?:

@xelrojo44x_mlbts said in XSX (FreeSync) = H2H Competive Advantage?:

Apparently, XSX currently supports AMD FreeSync VRR with HDMI 2.1, however, the PS5 console does not quite yet support VRR (coming in 2022?).

While the MLBTS21 game itself is limited at 60fps on both next gen consoles, doesn't having VRR active on the XSX help to reduce potential framerate or input lag issues in some games due to periodic P2P latency? ...and if so, doesn't this give XSX users (w/ HDMI 2.1 and VRR active) a competitive advantage in online H2H games vs everyone else?

It seems to me, that having this VRR technology active in an online matchup would help the XSX user see pitches more clearly...in games that have latency due to a poor connection.

RE: https://forums.theshow.com/post/333422

This is something id love a moderator to respond to. Why is there never clarity on this type of technical aspect of the game? I’d love to know stuff like this. Is there a competitive advantage to using a monitor? Is there a competitive advantage to using a wired connection vs wireless? Stuff like this would be cool for them to give us the details on instead of everyone just speculating.

They know the shiny new cards will distract most players and keep them for asking the hard questions. The dev team has always pretty much been MIA. You see them at the start of the year when the game is about to release and that’s about it.

This website works as well as the game online as you can see by my five duplicate messages 🥴. Can a mod please delete the extra messages?? Thanks

The online portion of this game needs a serious fix. From better working servers to a rebuilt net code need to happen. A game based on timing cannot run the way this one does.

There are other issues that need to be fixed but the online needs a serious overhaul asap.

52 here and playing video games since the arcades

My favorite in the arcades was Robotron 2084. Las Vegas has an arcade that still has it.

Remember it well. That was a great one for sure!
