You guys are ridiculous. The OP is completely right. Grow up a bit and look at the big picture. Its a video game. Simple as that.
It is a video game. That I paid a lot of money for. And it does not work. Name me one industry that releases a defective product and expects their customers to be ok with it.
Yes I am entitled. I am entitled to the game I paid 80 dollars for working and not having entire game modes broken a week after release.
Because people continue to defend it. People that call them out get called whiners and complainers, just because we are angry that the game we paid for is not functional days after launch and a week after early access (which was a scam in and of itself). They will bash companies like EA and 2K, when this game does the same things that those games are maligned for if not worse. If you are not being held accountable by your consumers then you are free to do whatever you want.
Just read that Franchise is broken as well. So that means that literally every single specialty mode in this game has some kind of fundamental problem that makes it not worth playing: DD- Servers crashing every 5 seconds, RTTS- Progression not tracking, MTO- Random ineligibility to earn rewards, Franchise- Roster issues. How sony took Cyberpunk off the store but allows this to stay up is beyond me. It is absolutely mind boggling how your QA team messes up this bad.
So basically they said that they can't give specifics and then said stop being mean. You have an entire section of your fanbase that you shaft every year in favor of fake collectible cards. Then to make matters worse, you invest the time and energy that you could have put in franchise mode into an abridged version that takes away most of what people like about franchise mode. People are understandably agitated to say the least.
If you are going to make every mode forced to be online, the least you can do is make sure the servers work two weeks after launch. Jesus Christ AOL Online has better connections then this game.

They are a small team. Sounds like they had issues with money transactions on peoples accounts that will take precedence everytime over a fake character career.
It is obviously a bug sometimes bugs take while to figure out. Play something else and try to unlock things that will help with your character down the road. I know this isn't what people want to hear but "[censored] Happens" they didn't do this on purpose.
They charged us money for early access. If it was not ready for launch then they should not have charged money to play it early. I expect the things I pay for to be working. If there were just a few bugs I would be fine. But to charge people to play a game where the core of the game mode is not functional? That is unacceptable and there is no excuse.

Its sad how many entitled whiny kids there are commenting on this game. This is a great game. Are the servers being [censored]? Yes....Were there thousands upon thousands of new players playing the game cause its on a new system? Yes. There are very few titles that dont have crappy online servers the first month of its release. Just look at COD servers as an example. All I see is complaining on this board.
Imagine whining about whining...
I went to the store today and I wanted a steak, they gave me chicken instead. So, I should be happy, right?!?! I mean I didn't get what I or others paid for... but we should all just be happy?
Man, ignorance IS bliss...Imagine whining about someone whining about whining
Imagine whining about someone whining about someone whining...
It's a no win anyway you slice it.
Can you name me any place where you would go that you would be okay with getting a product you didn't ask for?
Do you go to the grocery store on a vegan diet and get a steak? Maybe order a pizza and get just the crust?
Lmao its ridiculous and so is your comment.I would go to another place of business or request my money back. Looks like your options are RBI Baseball or a new hobby

You guys refuse to look at the totality of the situation. Has this small time first party studio ever developed a game for another console? No they have not. Have they ever had to prepare a server structure for this many people and across a new platform? That would be a no as well. They were put in a position to do something they've never done before during a global pandemic.
Perspective is key here. The game works, the servers at times have worked. To fix the issues they have to take them down. There is a lot in-store and the game cycle is just beginning. They can take all the time they need to get them working for all I care. Just like in previous years they'll get everything going right and this will be an afterthought.
First, if you are a playstation player, you are screwed because you can't get your money back so that is wrong. Second, they are not a small time studio. They are a AAA developer. Third, if the pandemic or cross platform would have made things too difficult they should have delayed or canceled the game. Four, they have an entire QA team that is supposed to detect issues prior to launch. Fifth, the game does not work. There are whole modes that are broken to the point of being unplayable and the servers only work when everyone it at work. I don't understand this concept of letting a company get away with scamming their customers and releasing a defective product that is not fixed a week later. If you have to take the game down to fix it, then do it.
We don't need a story in Road to the Show. The best part of RTTS is that there is no story it is just you managing and playing through your career. There is not a single sports game that has a story mode that is not pure cringe.
"More and more teams are experimenting with the two way player."
Which I guess is why there is precisely one active two way player on an MLB roster currently and he hasn't even done it for a full season.

@thebootman88_psn said in RTTS Feedback Blog Post:
Why is it a future update? You have know that this mode essentially cannot be played at the moment since early access began. It is still unplayable at launch. Why do we have to wait for a vague “future update”? If your game mode does not work you should make sure it does by launch.
@moosealbany_psn said in RTTS Feedback Blog Post:
Basically I also feel like the blog post says a very nice version of "sorry, not sorry". This is release day, and basically RTTS is totally broken at this time based only on what the devs actually say. This quote is taken from the blog post linked above "a RTTS player should feel like they can freely progress by playing RTTS and only RTTS"
Is that true right now? No, it's absolutely and completely not true right now. You simply cannot earn progression points towards your archetype by playing RTTS right now.
So... thanks for admitting that your game is broken on release date. Good job!
First of all game wasn't broke @ launch. It didn't break until first update.
Second, how ironic you complain b/c they say sorry and they are looking into it, instead of saying ty for giving us an update. If you guys are that ungrateful then do us all a favor and uninstall and find another forum to be salty in.
First of all it is broken at launch. Today is launch day. It is broken. It did not work since Friday so it was essentially broken at launch of early access as well. Second, I am complaining because one of their key game modes is all but unplayable. Anyone that paid money for this game to play RTTS is out of luck because it is so broken. The fact that that is still true on official launch day is unacceptable. I am not going to thank them for some vague future update when the game should never have been released if a large portion of you player base cannot play their at release.
I agree. The whole "future update" language really peeved me. They have been aware of this problem since Friday. They should have been aware of it through QA testing before that. The fact that it was not fixed at launch is disgraceful. Making it even worse was the language used that did not convey any urgency, and the fact that they have been messing around with other things this entire time. When one of the main game modes is broken to the core, I would think that would take highest priority. I understand they are probably working hard behind the scenes, but we are being expected to just wait indefinitely for a fix to a problem that should not have been an issue at launch, and are getting no updates. It is a terrible way to communicate with consumers. I am also still waiting for any word on how they will address the people that paid for early access that did not get that value during the time period because everything was broken.
@destroyingflame_mlbts said in Where are the devs?:
I agree, this is annoying, but, if we are all being honest with ourselves here, aren't we all expecting too much from SDS too fast? I mean, yeah, they can work 24/7 for 5 weeks straight, but after the 2nd or 3rd day, we are all already yelling at them to hurry up. We need to be more patient. I too wish this was fixed during the Tech Test, but it wasn't, so now we all have to wait for an update to fix this all. One more thing, I know this year has been especially bad, but EVERY game SDS has made so far has always had some bugs in it, and they have ALWAYS fixed the ones that bother the community the most, except for something that affects a gamemode nobody cares about or something. So, just give them some time, and we will all be thanking them for all the hard work they do for us, and making sure our lives playing this game are as enjoyable as possible.
No we are not expecting too much. It is not expecting too much to ask the the game works on release. This is not just a bug. It is a fundamental issue that breaks the mode and renders it basically unplayable. If this were discovered yesterday, it would still not be being too hard on them because whoever does QA should have caught it and either fixed it prior to launch or delayed the game until it was fixed. That being said, it was not discovered yesterday. It was discovered one day into early release. They had three days minimum to fix this. We are now about to be 5 full days since with no fix and no timetable of when to get one. Imagine if you bought a PS5 or Xbox on release and when you turned it on all you got was a blank screen. Then Sony or Microsoft said " we will fix at some point in the future." Would you be saying, give them a break then? No you would be demanding an immediate fix. There is no other industry I can think of that allows producers to release a broken product and expects the consumers to be okay with it and cut them slack while they take their sweet time fixing it.
I would like to see them detach the RTTS experience from the DD network. You can have the ball player as a template that you then use in all other modes involving a created player. 2K does this with the My Player where you create a player but each career is its separate character. Madden did this last year as well. This wouldn't appear to be difficult, and might be possible with the announcement that you can have multiple players.
If I had to guess, the videos will be exactly the same as they were last year. We still have the same exact mocumentary dialogue that we have had since 17 (that's as far back as I've played and it could very well go back further). The TOPPS showcase was unchanged for years, like exactly the same. This mode does not get the same level of attention that DD gets. I wish I could go back in time and stop whoever it was that started the whole "fake sports cards" mode in these games. It has drastically decreased the quality in all major sports games since it became the main mode.
Yeah I gotta say I highly disagree with the mentality of "it happens every year so it doesn't bother me." That is the rationale that lets these developers get away with charging people money for a broken game. I think it is pretty bad this year and I have played every year since 18. I have never had a launch where an entire game mode is unplayable because the core progression system is just not functional. It is ridiculous. If your game is not ready, then do not release it. It was bad enough that they charged people for early access only for half the player base to just to be screwed because the game was so broken. But when they realized they were not going to be able to fix it in time for launch day, they should have delayed the game until they could get it worked out. I should not have to wait weeks after release day to finally be able to play the game I bought.
You can't. The game mode is broken and it is not working for any of us.
@cachou7_psn said in Honestly starting to get angry now..these servers are ridiculous:
Not fun and never a word from SDS like we don’t exist. At least put something on the board to let us think you care about this.
Could be worse. You could be a RTTS player and have your mode unplayable with no update in sight.
Yeah from a realism immersion standpoint they really screwed the pooch on this one. Well, in general they really screwed the pooch on this one seeing as how it more than halfway through release day and I still can't play the mode because progression is broken.
I didn’t understand a word of what you said, but if it will get the servers working, heck use our early access money to lay this man’s salary.
Welcome to The Show. It's been like this for days now.
