Game Pass isn't free...it's a subscription service that I have paid real money for. Same with Netflix, I pay them monthly. I have just as much right to complain about or praise a game I paid for on Game Pass as any other consumer does.

Constitutional rights do not hold any weight in regards to private business relationships. But I do agree with your sentiment overall.

The anime cover is imo a perfect representation for Ohtani being the coverboy. It literally screams Japan, if anything the anime cover should have been the standard.
I'm by no means into the Anime scene whatsoever, but I too agree this cover fits Ohtani's theme.

They’ve been working well for last day and a half. Hopefully this just a hiccup and all this is just a bad memory soon.
The fact that your post got triple posted speaks volumes about the servers in general.

I'm surprised playstation hasn't addressed how terrible SDS right now. Just waiting for the watch dogs type recall to be announced
I'm all for Xbox players getting a chance to play this game, but I have a feeling the fact this game is on Game Pass has deluged SDS servers beyond their limit. This game being on Game Pass must have hit them by surprise.

Never going to happen. A few weeks from now when many give up playing, SDS will give everyone a ten pack full of commons and bronzes to show how sorry they are.
So true...going to toss us a bone with a worthless pack of 65-75's that would combined fetch about 300 stubs on the marketplace. Keep in mind, these digital "We're sorry" packs that they will give us actually cost SDS absolutely nothing/zilch/nada in real world money. It's the perfect definition of a token gesture.
Make them high diamond sellable packs for each time the servers go down and I bet it never happens again.
Even if they give us diamond packs, it still costs SDS nothing in real currency. Digital goods are just a made up commodity that they can produce an infinite amount of. And giving everyone these cards will just dilute the market place evenly for everyone, so nobody would really gain anything from it as a whole.

It’s hot garbage. And they have no clue what to do.
This is what happens when a small time company makes a major sports video game. They either don’t have enough resources or they don’t have the correct resources. Either way, this is becoming very concerning, this should’ve been fixed by now.
lol. They are not a small company. It’s probably equipment upgrades that board members didn’t want to upgrade. Thats why games don’t improve much, board members. It’s not the devs, it’s them. They look at it like this, why spend money to improve when they will still sell around the same. Not a good investment to them until the money drops to a point where it is.
Pretty much every major corporation's approach...and you are right. Businesses don't care about the consumers until they see their pocket books shrink. It's always important to vote with your wallet.
@trunner4_psn said in absolute joke with the servers again tonight on a friday:
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.
And all the video game outlets and companies are trying to push an all digital/always connected future. I'm going to find a new hobby, outside of gaming, when the all digital future arrives.
I've only had 3 evenings to play this game this week...and each time the servers are down. I hate to say this, but I'm pretty much going to put this game into the forgotten pile...especially when RE8 comes out next week. Sad, that as someone who got into video games due to a baseball video game (Pete Rose Baseball for Atari...way back in time) is now just giving up on playing baseball video games.
@scottrohn1_psn said in We Asked For This?????:
I'm sorry that's a bunch of bull. I can't imagine that there were a lot of hardcore Diamond Dynasty Player or Hardcore Road to the Show players who asked for DD and RTTS to be tied in together
I personally loved playing RTTS in previous years when I wanted to get away from the DD stuff. It felt like a safer, more relaxed game mode. I'm very disappointed in this year's RTTS, and not being able to carry my seasons over to this year's game. I'm already at the point where I'm going to be putting this game down for the long term and moving on to something else like RE8 starting next week.

I'm a sports video game collector, so I generally buy all sports games that release on all major consoles. Thanks for the info though. I do have separate gamer tags on each console, but they are both linked to the same TheShow.com ID that I am using here.

@woozypolarbear_mlbts said in MVP Edition Bonus entitlements when buying on Xbox and PS5:
If I buy both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X MVP Editions, can I double dip on the rewards/stubs/packs for the same MLB The Show account? Like what I want to know is do I get the 10 MLB The Show packs, 10K stubs, etc. twice? Also the MVP Edition gives you 2x the daily login bonus, so if I have the game on both consoles, would I in effect get quadruple (4x)daily login bonus?
No. Because you can only be logged into one account at a time.
Last year, I used the same DD team on both Xbox and PlayStation. This game is supposed to support cross-console progression, and I already have my PS5 and Xbox accounts linked to my TheShow profile. I guess there is no point in getting the MVP edition on both consoles.

@ikasnu_psn said in When did MLB The Show First come out with Steelbooks?:
Iirc 15 was the first year.
Thank you, I can't find any Steel Book Edition from before The Show 15. I guess I do have them all.

I thought they weren't doing a Collectors version this year? Do you mean the MVP Edition, or the Collector's Edition (that usually came with a hat)?

@tangojuliet24 said in Physical MVP Edition - No hat?:
Did they ever give a reason? Is there another version (collector’s edition) coming out at a later date?
SDS FAQ page...First question in the MVP Edition section!
It's still sad. I have each hat displayed with the Steelbook on my shelf. It was a nice collection. I love The Show 22's Steelbook look this year, but without the hat to go along with it, I am leaning towards playing it with Game Pass.
I have been collecting this game with the Steelbook Edition for a few years now. I have every version of the Steelbook since MLB The Show 15, but I can't seem to find the earlier versions of this game with the Steelbook. Is MLB The Show 15 the first year they came out with a Steelbook? I couldn't find any information on this online.
I'm just sad about there not being a Physical Collectror's edition that comes with a physical hat. I was collecting these.
I'm disappointed in there being no hat as well. It was the reason I looked forward to buying the physical MVP edition. With no hat, I might as well just play this game on Xbox Game Pass for no additional cost to me.
