Because they are lazy. Because they only care about finding new ways to milk people for money with these stupid pointless card packs. All other modes are barebone. I was pumped they finally added this feature. And I thought for sure this year we could really make some amazing parks. They did nothing.This is my last MLB the show. I wanted to give them one more chance. Baseball is my favorite sport and I've been buying this series since like 2013. Plus I wanted my updated Mets roster. But this game is trash unless you're a DD player.

I started a new RTTS character. I want to reset my dynamic difficulty settings. Doesn't seem to be an option to just do it. I changed my play style from sim to casual, didn't work. I delete my game settings from my system storage all together. Still where it was when I loaded back in. It should not be this freaking hard to change a simple setting. I don't want to be pitching/hitting on hall of fame with a 65 overall player. Is there a trick to this? I don't understand why its not there from the start.

It's a joke how little they put into things year to year. I wasn't expecting some massive over haul for stadium creator. But they did absolutely nothing. Wow! change the interface a bit and added night games. Something that should have been there day one of last year) I would be more understand if one of the other modes got a big face lift. But they did not.

Its garbage. it's extremely unrealistic and boring. The who perk system is dumb as hell. No interviews, no agent, no nothing. Its simply playing game after game trying to get AB, hits, stolen bases etc to level your perk points or whatever you want to call them.

You can. But the off season in MTO is so half [censored] put together. And you don't get the XP rewards at all star break and whatrnot. So frankly, its just a waste of time. SDS put it in there so they could say they did what the fans ask. But the lack of team control and no rewards, makes it completely pointless to play beyond year one.

Back when MLB the Show 16 released. We were given this narrative story line stuff . Not a fan myself. But they said each year they would be adding and expanding on it. So I wanted give them a chance. Since the release of that game we've 2 major changes. And both are horrible. The annoying podcast that serve no purpose what so ever. And this absolutely horrible perk/archetype system. So in 6 years they've made two changes and neither of them are any good or make the mode a realistic big league experience.

They haven't fixed the bowman scout day or made it better. (in fact I think they got rid of it last year) they still have yet to add interviews, off field choices, endorsement deals, agents. They've added nothing that makes this game mode better. All we ask is give us something similar to NBA 2k and their myplayer game mode. No that is far from perfect. But at least they try.

Hell last years game had a glitch where your stats wouldn't even count towards your progress. And they never even bothered to fix it.

I was really hoping we'd get an actual pre draft system/workouts, letting us pick an agent, more changes iin the minor league system. Making it less of a grind. Like maybe a story mode that lets us make choices. But I'll gladly take some awesome podcast that have zero effect on gameplay vs stuff that actually makes sense to add! SDS rocks!

@samusuppiluliuma said in What changed?:

DD is still tied to ballplayer. That's why they have 255 perks and equipment to sell you instead of letting RTTS players just create a character and get all attributes up to 99 without headache or a whole math equation to know your attributes.

Well yeah true. But I'm just glad we don't have to take our player in DD just to make them better. ugh its so annoying. Watching what once was a great game mode, turn into some [censored] I'd expect to find in a Madden game. Not an MLB series. .

What exactly changed this year from last year? You added some new podcast? Who cares. I'm sure most of us skip them anyways. I'm glad to see you finally got rid of the DD [censored] in my ball player. But what exactly did they add? This live stream is literally them showing stuff that's been in the game for years. Pulling a EA and trying to sell old features as new? Still no real kind of story mode or decision system. No interviews, no personality types, no agent selection, no endorsement deals, no off field choices... nothing. Get rid of this dumb archetype/rewards [censored]. Its corny and arcade like. No Russell Ramone or whatever the hell your name is, Nobody like perks. lol. This series has gone downhill so bad,

If it is just a copy paste then I won't be buying because 21 was by far the worst MLB The Show I have ever played.

It was so bad. There was a glitch in RTTS where your stats weren't counting towards your perks. (which is the dumbest idea they could have possibly done. Go back to the old system of leveling up your player) And I am not sure they ever even fixed it. I quit playing that garbage game a month after release. Went back like 7 months later and the glitch still wasn't fixed. Tons of new DD content though.

Bro same. I deleted the game after a month because I could not play it. RTTS was ruined, but it is still my favorite mode and I would have stuck with it, but it was literally unplayable for the first month of release. The RTTS stream is going to be the make or break factor for me.

Yeah I'm unsure about this years game. MTO is cool and all. But not nearly enough control. DD is fun. But not enough single player stuff. I could careless about playing against dudes who play videogames all day long. And franchise just sucks. They finally made a few changes. But nothing worth $70.

Looks like they've done very little to Franchise. Finally added multiple years on MTO But thats about it. In a interview the guy keep using the excuse they are trying to get the basics perfect. They are basically building the foundation first. So since SDS is admitting its not a finished product, will that be reflected in the price? Or are we expect to shall out $70 every year for a half finished game?

I wonder if they will once again make RTTS somehow worse. They absolutely destroyed that mode. It's horrible. Only reason I'm even considering this game is I want a PS5 version of the Show to play. Plus Mets made some great roster moves.

I've been asking for this for years. I'd love the ability to have my friend drafted to one team, while I play for another. (Or even the same team) We could compete for awards, division titles, WS titles etc.

I can't believe after a couple months you've yet to fix the issue with stats not saving towards the tier progression. And there is still a glitch where my catcher drops everything lol unbelievably how far this garbage company as fallen.

@duke0021520_xbl said in Free Packs:

The best card I've pulled all year is either Realmuto or Nick Andersen. I got nothing from these free packs though.

I spent $100 on packs just to see if I'd actually get something. I got a freaking Lindor. 100 packs, got me 1 diamond. But from free packs I've gotten Mookie, JT Realmuto, Harper, Freeman and a few other lesser players. It's totally random and I'll never spend another cent on stubs.

@ikasnu_psn said in Was watching a game last night and seen the craziest thing:

Good news everyone.

They've fixed checkswings! You can no longer get 28/30 check swings in your favor.

And now you can't get any. If they want to remove check swings from online play go for it. . Leave the single player alone. Bunch of nerds who care about a meaningless W/L online [censored] and cry. So instead of balancing it, they just remove it.

First I am hearing of this. I didn't get any free packs.

Says " As a small gesture of appreciation to the community, we’ve put together a “Thank You” bundle that any player can redeem for free on The Show Shop in-game from now until May 17th. So I'm assuming it's been released?

The person at the plate checked his swing. And the ump called it as such. I seen this not once, but twice. In the same game!!! After playing MLB the Show 21, I assumed they ban this from the MLB

Fix the check swing!

Those videos you see are one of two things.

1. Sponsored by SDS. Which means SDS is given content creators these high diamonds to open in packs on "live streams" to fool and trick people into buying stubs.

2. They are opening hundreds of packs and only showing you the good ones.

I made this mistake this year. I never buy stubs or packs. But I was bored and couldn't sleep so thought what the hell. I bought 100 packs. I pulled one diamond. A Lindor. A card I can now get on marketplace for like 20K stubs or less. Total waste of money. I'll never buy packs again.Best way to get diamonds is buying them from marketplace or earning them. I have gotten a Mookie and a Harper card from free packs. Plus I earned a bunch of a other diamonds by playing the different modes.

I really hope in the near future the courts decide these stupid card packs are a form of gambling and make them illegal. Then maybe these greedy companies like SDS and EA will have to go back to producing real sports games and not this [censored] these games have become

This is what happens when greed and money come before producing a quality product. They want RTTS to become DD players so they can make money off stubs.
