Hiya folks.

As we continue through the year with MLB The Show 20, I wanted to put out a few reminders of general forum etiquette.

• Please respect others and their opinions, even if they differ from your own. Mods will continue to remove personal attacks or continued nonconstructive toxicity. (Think of the Golden Rule).
• Please utilize the ignore feature - it’s better to ignore the trolls than it is to engage the trolls.
  To ignore someone: Click on their name to go to their profile -> Click on “More" on the right, and select “Ignored”.

We understand many are vocal about the game right now, and everyone is more than welcome to express their opinions, ideas, and perspectives here. But keep in mind - attacking others for any reason will not be tolerated and those who do so will be removed. If you cannot disagree with someone respectfully, then please do not respond.

Remember the Code of Conduct is here.

And while I’ve got your attention:

• Yes - we’re working on another game update (1.13), but we do not have any details we can share at this time.
• We’re constantly monitoring our social channels (and that includes the TSN forums). I know we say this a lot, and though you may not always see us respond, we are absorbing what is being said - not just the positives, but also the negatives, and everything in between.

I appreciate your patience, your feedback, and I hope you’re all staying safe and healthy.

Thank you!

Hiya folks!

Just wanted to chime in with an update:

• We recently deployed some server side updates that reduced the number of "server exception" errors players were seeing. We will continue to monitor and prioritize server stability as we move forward.
• We have server maintenance scheduled for 4 AM PT on Tuesday 4/27 (tomorrow). If all goes according to plan, this maintenance will include a fix to the unlinking issue that users have been reporting to us here on the forums.
• And yes, we have a game update in the works. I can't go into details, but it includes many fixes to reported issues and more. Stay tuned for more info.

Thank you all for your detailed reports and patience while we work to smooth things over.

UPDATE: Log into the Show Account you created and you should see the red "unlink" buttons. This should unlink your account and your progress should be restored to what it was before the linking.

Post his username. The temp ban would be worth it.

Not worried about the temp ban. Worried about the thread getting deleted.

Its the weekend and chances are they wont get my email until Mon/Tues. Want to make sure someone from SDS sees this.

However; if I can post the ID of my secondary acct; you would be able to see the game results. He's the only person I've played tonight that has TTV in their ID

We see it, and we will take action.

There is zero tolerance for racist team names, player names, or logos.

Just to be clear.
There were no gameplay changes made in 1.06, or 1.07 - just bug fixes.

Shouldn't this be the one and only forum SDS should pay attention to? I would think if people can get on twitter or reddit, they can get on here and talk about the game.

Not everyone chooses to post here, and we respect that.

There are so many awesome communities outside of The Show Nation with tons of feedback and different perspectives - we don't want force people out of their comfort zone, so we try to keep an eye on as many as we can.

Discussion focused on the 1.13 update.
Notes can be found here.

I ask that you please keep feedback - positive or negative - constructive and respectful. Thank you.

Hiya folks.

First - yes, there is a game update in the works, but I can't give details at this time. Stay tuned!

Re: Freezes - we're investigating the freezes and we're working to get them fixed. The reports and videos that were sent to us are super helpful, so thank you for those who sent them our way through the support portal (theshow.gg/support) and private channels.

Remember that posting about exploits may break the rules and can also very quickly become toxic, resulting in the thread being locked and or deleted. It's okay to talk about these things happening and to spread awareness, but it's typically not okay showcasing exactly how they're done (this can sometimes include links to YT videos, etc...)

Thanks everyone.

Oh how the time does fly by!

With the Tech Test just announced we are seeing users from the Xbox community joining the forums for the first time ever!
A big welcome to everyone new - we are most excited to have you here.

So with that, I feel obligated to post annual reminder:

• Please respect others and their opinions, even if they differ from your own. Mods will continue to remove personal attacks or continued nonconstructive toxicity. (Think of the Golden Rule).
• Please utilize the ignore feature - it's better to ignore the trolls than it is to engage the trolls.
  To ignore someone: Click on their name to go to their profile -> Click on "More" on the right, and select "Ignored".

We understand the passion many of you share in The Show, and everyone is more than welcome to express their opinions, ideas, and perspectives here. But keep in mind - attacking others for any reason will not be tolerated and those who do so will be removed. If you cannot disagree with someone respectfully, then please do not respond.

The Code of Conduct that we all agreed to can be found here. Print it out and hang it on your wall, like I did, so you may always be reminded of its' greatness.

We look forward to all the great discussion to be had in the coming season, and I personally cannot wait to get mercy-ruled by you all in BR.

Be excellent to each other!
Thank you.

@Bob_Loblaw1984 said in Chipper’s Vision:

Why is everything identical to last year except the vision? 10 lower? Did Chipper strike out more since last year? Please fix the typo.

For Signature Series cards, vision is not calculated the same as it was last year.

Thank you for the swift reply.

Does vision affect the timing window?

Essentially yes. It allows for an elite hitter to make contact with worse timing then say an average hitter with that same timing.

Check swings need some work. We know it.

Replays are not always 1:1 accurate. You may notice small things in replays (like the ball clipping through the bat, and some swing follow through, for example) - this doesn't actually happen on the field, but we realize that it can be confusing when seeing it in the replay feature.

We hope to give both check swings and the replay feature some love in the future.

They had Tweeted that the error would be fixed.

Is this future runs, or will we be unlocked if currently locked in this mini seasons mode? Server update was this morning. I'm still locked.

It should be resolved for fresh seasons. Do you still see it after you start a new one?

It was never stated in the tweet that we had to start a new one. So are you saying for the ones that's waited in the Championship series all this time, that we're going to have to restart a new season?

I am told the error should be resolved for fresh seasons moving forward, so if you're still seeing the error, you may need to start fresh.

Is there anything you can share about the resolution? A few of us worked hard trying to diagnose here and TBH, it would be nice to know if what we shared for the last 174 posts actually contributed to the solution.

Even if I was completely off base, it would be nice to know.

I don't actually know how it was fixed technically, but the posts here absolutely contributed. If anything, just taking an ID from a post in a thread and looking under the hood can be enough to point us in the right direction. Likewise, if someone posts a temporary work-around to an issue, that information is really useful to us as well. It's why we create stickied topics and try to consolidate the discussion when an issue like this arises. I can pass the topic link on to the team, so we can have eyes on the discussion for any useful information that could help track down and resolve the issue.

Hi all. Thank you to everyone who has responded in this thread so far.
I know some have replied already, but are we seeing any of the Server Exception errors after today's early morning 4 AM maintenance?

If I run across any threads during my travels, I'll try to grab information about timing.

Are you looking for new seasons started?

Folks that are currently stuck should no longer be? I know there's a lot of those out there.

Yes, either still stuck in a current season, or with a fresh season, since the 4 AM maintenance that happened today.

Can you define “resolved”? Why is everything so cryptic?

Barring any setback, the fix will eliminate the matchmaking errors a user would see when they have 120hz Output enabled (on PlayStation).

We believe the issue has been identified and the team is working to get it resolved asap. Thank you fall for your responses and reports.

Hi all.

The team is aware and investigating the recent issues with 120hz output and the impact it is having on matchmaking for PS users.

As other users have mentioned - if you're having troubles finding a match, you may want to try turning off the 120hz output option in the PlayStation settings.

• Settings -> Screen and Video -> Video Output -> Enable 120hz Output: Off

I'll reply again when I get further updates from the team.

EDIT: I know other users here on the forums have already mentioned it, but if turning off the 120hz output option resolved the issue for you, please reply and let me know. Thank you for your patience.

EDIT 2 04/27/2022: We believe the issue has been identified and the team is working to get it resolved asap. Thank you all for your responses and reports.

EDIT 3 05/01/2022: An update was deployed today at 4 AM PT for PS5 specifically to address this issue.

Hello.

As the team continues to investigate why some users are seeing the Unhandled Server Exception error message in Mini Seasons, we are looking to gather and consolidate information into one thread.

If you've experienced this issue, could you please let us know:

• Where are you seeing the message exactly? (As soon as you enter Mini Seasons menu? When You try to enter a game?)
• Does the error clear after a certain number of attempts, or does the error appear 100% of the time?
• Does starting a fresh season resolve the issue?
• Any other specifics you may have noticed that you might believe is contributing to the issue.

Thank you all for your help and your patience while we work to resolve the issue.

Hey all. We have a fix for the screen flicker in the next update. Thank you for the reports and your patience.
