Whoever came up with that idea of the 4th Inning Fathers Day structure, should either be fired or never allowed to do it again. Did they even test this out? I mean test it for frustration and waiting for loading time. I mean they say to get a hit in a game but it is more of an at-bat. And Most times if you miss the first time you're resetting the challenge anyway. I understand the grind but the grind is waiting time for everything to load. More time is wasted in loading than playing. Please NEVER do this again. There has to be an easier way to get the challenges in and let us grind it out in a fun way.

I write this as I wait through the reloads and I play for 10 seconds and wait minutes in between re-loads, then I get back and the pitcher throws it to first four times before throwing a pitch. Or I have one at-bat and get hit by a pitch. Or there is never a pitch thrown over the plate to get an extra-base hit. And guess what I waiting again for everything to re-load. Sometimes the gameplay just needs to play for the mode, let us just have fun playing and not waiting.

Sorry but I'm curious what others think about this? And maybe SDS will read this. Fat chance that will happen.

I always thought that was cheesy. Seems some of them use the same image for years now. But at the same time, I see that same thing for other topic channels too. Must have been a cool thing at one point. Kind of turns me away sometimes.

I am done with the game for the night. And if this weekend is anything like last I might not play this weekend. Maybe detox myself from the game and do something else in life that doesn't stress me out, like the server issue does. You play video games to relax and enjoy yourself, not with MLB the Show 21.

1. If something is already 100% done, it shouldn't show on the end of game Progress.

2. With that, the end-of-game Progress page should be scrollable. You should not have to quit and go to the Team Affinity section, scroll to the players progress to see where you are at. Way to many steps to just see what should be on the end of game progreess.

3. Maybe it's just me and I have a bad day, but the gameplay seems not on par with the level. The veteran seems to be All-Star. I have seen others talk of that for other parts of the new update but I haven't tried them yet. Just my thoughts.

I have only played DD right now, but in past years, I always used the L2 to track the ball better and to watch the play closer as the player ran the bases. Moving the right stick is too slow to catch things happening. Does anyone know? Maybe there is a setting I missed? I thought I went through them all, but I could be wrong.

The 40-point seems like false advertising to me. Basically, no one will get the full 40 points unless they played non of the moments and bought all the cards needed. SDS is in the snake oil business now. They need to explain that upfront on some rules page. Not happy. Time is just ticking for me to stop playing The Show for the season. Franchise is nothing new, RTTS and MTO are the same and DD is well getting close to the garbage bin.

To comment an @Superpumper1_PSN, Well to me the issue has been one for years. We have been dealing with this way too long. You would think they would have the stress test done way before the launch. Plus the game came out late compared to past years. Yes, it has been a rough year for any company but the server should be their number one fix, knowing that every year it's the same thing. This game requires a connection to the server to play it like it is designed, well they should be ahead of the matter. The life of this game is designed around a calendar, there is a timer to complete things and those that want to have fun, start to get frustrated. To me, if the game is in my console, let me play and not have to deal with the server. There must be a way to play DD and leave the server out of it till it is fixed.

Wow, when the server crashed I get my message four times. Maybe they will read it this time.

I am getting sick of finishing a grind and BOOM the grind isn't recorded because of the stupid server. I have PS to play the game, don't really see why I have to always be connected. There has to be a way to play and upload the stuff after the fact. Seems that is where the problem is, always having to be connected.

How is anyone pulling Diamonds? I have been digging for some and even bought a 50 pack yesterday figuring I would at least get one low diamond. Nope, nothing, I have had to buy my diamonds and save for them, so the way prices are going on them, I figure by the time The Show 21 comes out I will have my collection complete. For that, I am not buying another pack until they make it you are guaranteed to diamond. I really thought I could get the Mantel, but it seems he will keep staring at me every time I go into collection hoping it looks different.

Well, I was grinding programs for a few hours today. Started getting bored, so and turned it off. And I got to thinking of the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. That is what DD has now become. What I did for the two+ hours was the same thing, and didn't feel any better than when I started. Kind of felt worse. Time to shut it down again. And put the PS4 in the closet again. I really thought I could stick it out. But sure all the goals are different but in a sense the same, hit one HR, strike out 5 players, 4 TB is not what I call fun when you are doing those hundreds of times, restarts from time to time.

To be honest, SDS needs to bring some kind of story and further creativity to all the areas of the game. I know many love it, and I have loved it for many years too, but for some reason, it's not fun anymore.

Like others, 23 has to wow me, and that SDS got the message we want changes. And fix everything we keep bringing up. No more money from me if there is no change to the game.

I went into the end of 21' saying that no more Show. I told myself I would not care or watch any new release stuff for 22'. Well, that last a few weeks of the release info coming out. And I started playing 21' to get my skills back on track, 22' came out, and I was all in. But it gets better. About a month or so, around the middle of the April Monthly Awards, was out. I was grinding away, started to [censored] me off how long it took, and just for a stupid Rizzo card that wouldn't start for me. So I stopped playing, not just because of the stupid grind but many other things that we all know. Well, I put the PS4 in the closet, yep, and was done. That is what I thought. I was bored one day a few weeks ago, and guess what? Well, now I am hooked again and so want to finish all the in-game tasks I have to do, but at the same time, I want to sell my PS4, so I never play this game again. But, what are the chances of me doing that? It is now a Love/Hate relationship. If you don't spend HOURS in the game, there is no way to what? That is what it has come to. And like many others that commented, I only play offline. A few years ago I did the online thing and it blew gaskets in me. Never again.

@andysox_nsw said in No Progress screen showing after every game:

This has probably been the biggest ongoing complaint for the last 2 months now that SDS has not been addressing for whatever reason. At least the game patch updates are giving us new songs though.

Thanks. I have been off the game for about two months so that at least explains that isn't me. Just might have to flood them with tickets. Maybe we all should.

I like to check players progress after every game to get a better feeling of where I am with them. But for a while now, it has not been on the end of game section. Am I missing something, or is there an issue that SDS has to fix?

False advertisement. Should have just said need collection to move to stage two.

If you go to collections and you have secured the collection before the roster changes, it should still be completed. What the team page says has nothing to do with a collection that has been completed already. New players are always moving from team pages and the 39/40 will happen a lot until you get the new players card. All I care about is that the collection is completed. And if there is an issue that a card is missing you can report that to them.

"And #4 comes to bat" That is for Paul Molitor. Yep, no Molitor recording in the millions of hours they work to make this a boring part of the game.

I wonder if he talks like that at the dinner table. Not a fan of his vice, and Ken is like a stale piece of bread. I feel he gets lost in the background. I usually lower the setting of the commentary after a few weeks of play but I might be doing it sooner this year.
