I agree 100%. Every year I pray they don’t change the hitting at launch because the games are so fun for the first week or two but like clockwork, every year right after launch the hitting gets ruined. You’re right about it being less fun. It’s not like the game is not fun overall, but it’s so much more enjoyable before they do this EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Love you SDS, but please stop doing this lol.

Man, I feel you. I don’t know if it’s because of where I live or what but I know what it feels like to be on each side of the algorithm in their software that decides which person is allowed to hit home runs and who isn’t. The algorithm that decides who gets a significant advantage over the other player to the point where I think that I’m experiencing a completely different game on my end. It definitely exists and I don’t know where down the line my IP got flagged as one of the ones that has that “BS Switch” turned on permanently against them...but here I sit, hoping that I’ll one day get to experience the version of MLB The Show online that I enjoyed so much during the first 2 weeks of this game’s lifecycle. Not only did they F the gameplay into oblivion with that first hitting patch, but I don’t think I will ever be on a level playing field with my opponents again. I just wish someone on the development side would see my IP and realize they forgot to turn that “permanent disadvantage” switch off. I just pray this game comes to PC so I can hopefully build one with enough hardware power to offset their BS algorithm that has made this game so frustrating.

I can tell you bronze Gary Sheffield is the best third baseman in the game.

Wow I didn’t think this would bring all the most toxic people in the community to one post but I guess I should clarify now, I’m not angry at SDS. I have almost all of the affinities completely done. I just know this has affected many people along the way and I had lost a few hours of my life I put into completing them when the server errors caused a failure, so I know they feel the same. Congrats to all of you for having them all done. I was simply asking for it because it would be a nice gesture to ease the pain for many others who have been affected trying to grind these showdowns. People are so negative.

I’m sure you’re more than aware of the server issues causing people to fail final showdowns even though they beat them. It has happened to me a couple times. Can we please have a DOUBLE SHOWDOWN VOUCHER weekend this coming weekend? I feel like I could make up for this issue and all the lost time. Love you guys!
