Next year Sds should implement a function where you can give a " tip of the cap ". It would serve as opposite of the bunt dance if you will. Could also increase sportsmanship...you never know. For example:

You have an inning where maybe you square up 3 balls hard for outs with nothing to show for it....your opponent gives u a tip off the hat. " I feel ya bro "....I hear streamers saying this all the time when something goes horrible for an opponent.

..its like pick up ball u do something good and the other team says....good shot...good take...nice board...etc...not obviously showering you with praise since you are still the opponent....but letting them know when credit is due.

@thizzlyadams said in How's 2020 the show??:

Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.

Then that explains all the BEEF people have with the game!

I know some people are frustrated with the game and others are not. I know we all might not agree. We start fueds that continue on other threads. We watch members go back and forth and then we take our sides and rally around those who agree with our opinion. Sometimes it gets heated but...

I'm thankful for this forum because if it wasnt for you complainers, defenders of the game, bunt dancers and patch analysts....The Show would end when I turn off my ps4. You cant discuss Patch 1.08 with a perfect stranger waiting for your Coffee at your local Starbucks

This forum is like Sportscenter lmao. Everyone coming together at the end of the night to share highlights of their experiences. We may not all agree upon the state of the game but we all agree The Show Nation is pretty dope.

So in conclusion I'm thankful for all of you...even the ones I've blocked lol

Cheers

Still to this day the best All star uniforms in the history of Mlb was when they would wear their own teams uniforms with an all star patch. Call me old school but I loved seeing a Yankee complete a double play by throwing to a Red Sox player.

It's the only time u see opposing uniforms working together on the same field. Showing the true unity of American League vs National League.

I just made a tear come to my own eye.

I would literally (even though I can't afford their time) pay Ramon..luis..and the other guy (no disrespect) money to sit next to me during my RS games so I can pause for them to try and explain what I just saw.....and why....

Stammering, stuttering gaslighting for $400 Alex....(may he rest in peace)

@guccigangchuck said in Excited:

I'm excited for 22, i really hope the pitching nerfs are evident, but remember these three things that will happen and bank on it for launch

1. Hitting online is going to feel great, were playing on lower difficulties with not the best pitchers

2. Servers will be slow ( its just a given with any new game)

3. Most importantly, dont get all bent out of shape cause you lost a game in week 2, rng will always be a factor in the game.

Oh...your finished? Well allow me to retort..

4. Player items for pre-order might not be available for a week or two

5. The Bait and Switch. Hitting will feel great the first week to solidify your confidence in this years experience. You push all your chips in and then " Attention mlb the show players....."

6. The Domino patch...the domino patch is to fix one issue...that creates another issue....and then another issue until it's time for them to focus on '23

7.the xp exploit. Someone who's been playing the game for a month or so will discover an xp exploit that somehow the developers missed working on a game for a year

8. Bunt dancing.

9. Xp and stub reward adjustment when people start obtaining things to early.

10. Bonus People realizing that pc anchor is just another way to get rid of skill gap.

Play ball!!!

This guy was relentless held on to walk me off in the 15th with a homer to center.
He held me to 2 runs on 17 hits. I couldn't find a way to score. Lol I struck out twice he struck out 14 times but got the 9 hits when it counted.

Goes to show never give up and this is what makes baseball a beautiful and unique game

Mariano Rivera's sinker. It's a good one. The fact that no major league pitching coach or player could show him how to throw an effective one.

Does a little training with Sds...boom throws sinker. Imagine if Sds could have got to him while he was still playing.

Man that title is misleading. I got real excited and was about to buy '20. It's funny how two letters can swing someone's emotions lol

Has anyone seen the video Trevor May put up entitled " My outfield is broken " ....its not really just the outfield but other aspects of the game that haven't been fixed...to his throwing partners real life velocity being incorrect...and no urgency on infield throws.

• editor's note
  To those who are going to bash this post I understand velocity of a pitcher being correct is not that big of a deal...but the others....ehhhhh

@Psycho__Kinetic said in Hey SDS could you actually show you care?:

Dear Stan

My hittings gone cold I'm wondering why...I turned on the game at all...the fastballs mess up my timing window...and I cant see them at all....even if I could it would not be great...a perfect perfect caught at the wall...it reminds me..my hitting is bad...my hitting is baaaaaaad

@JaksDaddy758 said in Showdown sucks:

What I don’t understand about showdown is why they label challenges as rookie or veteran but they play so much different and harder than that.

I can go play conquest, MTO, or vs. cpu on all star and bat around my lineup fairly frequently in an inning. However I struggle to even get on base in rookie and veteran showdown challenges???? It makes no sense.

If they wanna keep showdown this challenging fine, but I think it aggrevates most of us when we go in feeling confident that we can handle these only to find it doesn’t play the way it’s advertised.

I really like the idea of the mode and the way its set up, but it frustrates me even more than ranked seasons.

They came out last year and admitted that the moments labeled at veteran and rookie were not actually at the level. Midseason they changed it and moments became bearable. What turned me off was why would a company deceive its consumers?

Once I saw this it changed my view. I dont want to call it lying but if u can deceive us in one aspect...what other aspect are we being decieved in that just hasnt been revealed yet. Remember they didnt come out and say it...we had to complain and gripe until the jig was up

What has happened to online gameplay?

Sds has finally been exposed

They are both hot around the edges but "okay" in the center

@PhatWhiteOwl said in Serious Question: What's the point of different stats for pitchers if all of their pitches end up over the middle of the plate, despite perfect inputs on multiple modes?:

A 125 may as well be a 75 if he can't place pitches despite high numerical ranking.

Can SDS explain within the context of the game what I am failing to do consistently to achieve a desired pitching result

I hit corners all day.

You must be the player determined to be at a disadvantage in most of your matchups. Lol jk. I'm calling sarcasm because..

1.) Hitting the corners is difficult

2.) If you hit the corner the chances of the umpire calling it are slim to none...and slim just died.

If you havent heard Madden users are fed up. I guess the people on here were correct and its official. Madden doesnt hold a candle to the show

" EA has exclusive rights to NFL simulation games, meaning it has no console competition. It has faced accusations of becoming lazy because of its stranglehold on the market, which in the eyes of critics has led the company to stop making meaningful improvements, commit sloppy programming errors and fail to reinstate franchise mode features that existed more than a decade ago but have since been removed.

It's like the state of the game is like when a ponzi scheme is on its last legs. They know it's only a matter of time before the jig is up. More and more eyes are opening to what I realized in '19.

Same game same players....3-5 new legends and some half baked ideas to get you in the door. Then they will string out the features over a span of 3-5 years.
Example:

'21 new stadiums no night games
'22 now you can do night games
'23 now a dome option!!!
'24 now you can take an original mlb stadium and customize it. Want dinosaurs at dodger stadium??? You got it!!

@surfinsantacruz_xbl said in Xbox Players Buying a Copy For Early Release?:

I can wait 4 days for the $0 price tag

Dont forget about servers being down during previous early releases and it turning into 2 1/2 days of early release

@theninjaraven_psn said in Fernando Valenzuela most dominate pitcher in game!!!:

This guy is a legend!!! LMAO just went against an very stacked talented player and Fernando owned him.. 16 Ks and he had 2 hits and 1 run. All you pansies that sit on fastballs are hilarious when you face him ️

It sounds like you might be new and the last real game of baseball you played was followed up by juice boxes and fruit snacks.

In general Major League Pansies sit fastball and adjust off speed unless you hear pounding of a trash can. These are well known amongst most pansies.

@Ericulous1_PSN said in Looks like the end of new cards:

My guess is there will be no more Frank. His Award is great. If anyone deserves a better 99 it's Willie Mays. Maybe Gehrig.

But I am guessing the free gift will be a Finest Realmuto, Acuna, or Devers.

WHEN IS THE 23 BETA?!?!?

The cut and paste?

Excuse me sir...it's not a cut and paste. The arrogance and entitlement of some of you guys..

It's a cut and paste with a roster update. Also how dare you ignore the half baked modes that don't work properly! Game is working as intended.
