S
I love Baseball. I love The Show. I love the way you guys tap my passion for both so well.
I am sorry. I will focus on playing the game and keep my mouth shut from here on in.
It goes...
This won't change. Thanks for the game.

You're a [censored] and they over reacted. Both things can be true.
Over reacted? Yeah, it does look that way. Triggered? It seems so. Wrong? Not for one second. Done? With the game, yeah. But done making a big deal about this? No, not even close.
There is no place for bullying (MLB says so). It can be controlled. This is not a YouTube comment section. This is not Twitter. This is a private forum on a private website. Control your content, or take a different route to gathering feedback from your customers.

Tuning out is not the answer. Dealing with it is.
The Communication Department at the Major League Baseball corporate offices in New York City has been informed.

This is straight up bullying by this douchebag. SDS are you going to let this go on forever?? This account does nothing but hassle people. There is no need for it. Do something about something. Seriously. You guys are losing people fast and this d-bag only makes things worse. Fix it! You can.
Haha this is what you considered bullying dude?, if that's the case I say you've got a tough life ahead of you. And you say SDS is losing people fast?, is this your "educational opinion" that you've attained from doing actual research or is it something you're pulling out of your @$%?. The Show sells enough copies Sherlock and gets voted for many sports games of the year awards. But based on this post, you are awarded this week's Casual Noob winner, I was hoping that other guy could win it two weeks in a row but your comment here is deserving of this award. So congratulations, this weeks prize is of course a Red Bull and a lukewarm hot pocket and a Don Cherry Rock'em Sock'em hockey DVD.
Look douchebag, I'm an adult and I am very familiar with what it feels like to have been bullied. Fortunately now I know what it looks like and feels like, and I'm strong enough to stand up for myself. You don't deserve to be here. The fact that SDS continues to enable you is beyond pathetic. LAST CHANCE SDS- I know I am irrelevant to you, but BAN THIS ACCOUNT, or you have lost a regular customer. I will be informing Major League Baseball of the unsafe, unsatisfactory, and unacceptable environment that their "exclusive" partner provides. SDS you have a bigger responsibility than you seem to be aware of. BAN THIS ACCOUNT.

Surprised to see "Ha"? But why? The lyrics are so perfectly appropriate for a game that is rated "All Audiences". Gun references. Drug references. Crime references. Perfect! MORE LIKE THIS!! MORE LIKE THIS!!!! Honestly I'm surprised Major League Baseball is ok with this from their exclusive video game partner. Do better at this SDS. You can. I'm sure of it.
You wanna run the block ha
You wanna be the only ***** with rocks ha
You keep your gun cocked ha
You count the money at the end of the night ha
You on a three day flight ha
You full of that diesel ha
You duckin' them people ha
Your face was on the news last night ha
You the one that robbed them little dudes out they shoes last night ha
You don't go in the projects when it's dark ha
You claim you a thug and you ain't got no heart ha
I don't like it in real baseball games, but it definitely helps speed up long games and create some excitement in The Show. I vote to keep it in the game, but ditch in from MLB, but it won't work that way I know.
The content matters. There should be a lot of kids playing this game and they don't need some of the song's messages drilled into their heads, especially when there are appropriate alternatives available. I am an adult and I don't want it either. While an adult conversation around [censored] workers and their rights to unionize their services may or may not be merited, and the song is fine to blast at the SDS offices, does it really need to be included in this game? There is something else equally good available, I'm sure of it.
Good songs are available that don't cost the BIG $$. Sure the biggest songs do cost big bucks, but the people responsible for selecting the songs need to have more imagination and not be so eager to "look cool", or something, by picking songs with a message that really shouldn't be included. There are other good Rap/Hip-hop songs that actually do have a decent message, or at least don't get so foul with their meanings. Yes, those songs do exist. There are good examples already on The Show soundtrack. Try harder on this one, please. Songs shouldn't need to be censored or have words bleeped out. The message of the songs really does matter.
The variety is appreciated. As long as all songs are appropriate, it is nice to mix up the genres and moods the way you do.

In reality, that throw to first from right field almost never happens unless it is called ahead of time by the manager. A right fielder in the big leagues who tried to throw out every runner at first would get benched. That's not good baseball. It does happen, but rarely.
There should be a "shift" option that a manger can manually implement that would call for the RF to play in (expecting a weak ball in play) and 1B covering. If the manager does not call for this before the pitch, 1st base will not be covered on a ball in play to the outfield. The outfielder has been taught to throw to his cutoff, or make a play at second. That's just baseball.
Best games/moments I've experienced at the ballpark:
Barry Bonds hitting #755 to tie Hank Aaron at Petco in San Diego.
Deon Sanders getting a triple at Candlestick. Fastest man I have ever seen.
George Brett hitting a line drive single to left-center, rounding first base aggressively, clapping his hands and slide-stepping back to first. (Oakland Coliseum, 1993). One of my first baseball games. The only time I saw him play.
The Kansas City Royals beating the Los Angeles Angels in Game 2 of the AL Division Series 2014 in Anaheim. Hosmer hits a HR in extras to take the lead. This is my best moment, by far.
The Kansas City Royals losing to the San Francisco Giants in Game 4 of the World Series 2014 at ATT in SF. Painful.
That time an entire section of Angel Stadium booed me because I stood up and clapped for a solo shot in the 2nd inning from Royals catcher John Buck (while wearing a KC hat and t-shirt).
That time an entire section of Oakland Coliseum booed me for catching a Craig Paquette foul ball (while wearing a KC hat and t-shirt).
I love baseball.
Bret Saberhagen has one T in his name. George Brett has two.
Couple other things for you:
Be aware of the file sizes of the objects that you place. Some are much larger than others and it might not be worth it to waste the file space over the single item that takes up 8-10% of storage.
Once you have placed an item, you can use identical version without taking as big a hit to your storage space. ie. You can place a single item 20-30 times without taking a big hit. But if you place 5 or 6 different items, you might use up too much space.
The Auto-snap feature only works on like items. The feature will not work on different objects. i.e. If you select a certain type of walkway, the snap feature only works if the objects are identical in all ways. You will need to have patience and zoom in to align unlike objects. Still do it. This makes for more unique stadiums.
Pay attention to what will be visible during actual gameplay. The cameras pan though the crowd or at the scoreboard between innings and plays. Those moments look best when you have built something that looks cool. While building a little city and adding other things around it is also cool, none of that really shows up during gameplay. Do something different that looks cool and actually impacts gameplay in a good way.
Fences. This is another touchy spot. I suggest determining what your outfield dimensions will be first thing when creating a new stadium. Pick the dimensions and layout, and build around it. There are pre-designed dimensions that are acceptable for online gameplay. You do not want a little bat with a redline appearing to indicate the field can not be used for competitive play. Very important- Save often. One quirk is that you can sometimes click on your fences and accidentally move them in or out, or make them taller or shorter. As soon as you make ANY change to the presets, the field can no longer be used online. You will never be able to manually move the fence back and make it ok. Your option will be to reset the fence dimensions, or quit at the moment and open your last saved file. If you have done any other customizations (like color, or adding windows), you don't want to have to reset your fences, and closing out to start over becomes the best option). So, don't mess with the fences and be prepared to accidentally move it sometimes and get frustrated when you can't put it back.
While this mode of the game is awesome, The Vault itself is a complete mess. There's still a lot of quirks and bugs. I have high expectations that the issues with the vault will be addressed next year. It is very frustrating sometimes to try to search or actually do anything inside the vault. So, you are not crazy. The functionality inside the vault really is broken.
If you want to see what your stadium looks like before saving it to the vault, you can play Homerun Derby or a game against the computer and be able to select a stadium not yet saved to the vault. You can select your unfinished stadium and play the game or Homerun Derby in it to get a feeling for how it looks and any modifications you want to make.
Have some fun. Be creative. Build some cool stuff. Before long you will be the one giving advice on how to use it.
Unlike most, I love Pure Analog mode. I use pure analog batting and pitching 100%. While it is very complex, challenging, and I believe, by far the most fun version of this game, Pure Analog mode gets dismissed very easily by new and old players.
Pure Analog is harder, but I think it's name is what hurts it's usage most. It feels old. It feels like something you shouldn't want to use and don't want to be associated with. One YouTube creator said: "Pure Analog? Ew! Why would you?" Yes, that was actual feedback from a MLB The Show Influencer on You Tube. So let's have a new name for the mode that might help generate some interest and get people into the best version of the game. Here are some suggestions. Anybody else got anything?
This might be a different direction than you had in mind, but I believe all competitive online games should be played using Pure Analog hitting, exclusively. The button-pushing options definitely make it easier to hit certain pitches and pitchers. I think any button-pushing hitting mode should be considered casual or non-competitive, or something. Pure Analog is the purist expression of this game. All the little back-end development tweaks on the swing are based in that Pure Analog engine. Then code is added to make it work within a button pushing environment. (People seem to think that the God of Perfect Perfect just grants hits and HRs for good button pushes, but it all just comes down to programming).
Pure Analog is Pure Baseball. It takes time to figure out Pure Analog hitting and pitching (like, playing MULTIPLE seasons against other people).
Playing the computer can be fun, but it does not prepare you for the pitching you will face live. You also will not get away with some of the hits or hit as many homeruns as when pushing the button. But, the game feels much more fluid and more like a real baseball game. Much more like you are swinging a bat. And in the end, it's much more fun because of it. I wish there were events or tournies or something where everybody was on that same level playing field of using Pure Analog. Oh, and 102 mph sucks.
"Pure Analog" mode allows you to just push the swing stick and not have to choose a direction with the other stick. You are choosing your direction depending upon the angle you push the swing stick. For a right-handed batter on a high outside fastball, push it to the upper right (i.e 1:00). Push it to 10:00 (mid-upper left) for a high inside sinker, etc. It definitely takes practice to figure out how to make contact and get hits on any decent pitcher. Pure Analog is actually much more complex than it is given credit for, it just has a really bad name. You will not have as much success at hitting as the button smashers, but I find "swinging" the stick/bat in Pure Analog mode to be a much more rewarding gaming experience.
CBrev is the only S-tier MLB The Show creator based on quality of content. A few others reach A-Tier (GutFoxx, Ance, and a couple of the popular dudes). People watch most of the popular guys for some other reason, not because of quality content related to the game. Some of these The Show "influencers" even brag about being toxic or having toxic players or using toxic stadiums. No need for that stuff in the game, let alone having the loudest voices brag about doing it all just for clicks.
Thanks Dudes.
