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.

@untchable704_psn said in Wtf is all this trash!!! Instead of announcing...:

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.

Imagine needing a safe space because a card was in your inventory. You don't have to use it though and it can be buried by getting better cards...

Seriously no one even knows what he allegedly did so who the hell are we to judge?

I didn’t say safe space? We have pride flags available in custom stadiums, Jackie Robinson on the cover and a huge banner in MLB 20 for a month commemorating BLM. I’m asking all movements to be equally supported.

I wish all "movements" were left as being neutral when it comes to corporations, and let individual people support the movements that they hold dear to themselves and their friends. This is a baseball video game, I don't need their stance on the latest social justice activism movement of the week. Heck, I come to video games to get away from that background noise.

Well one game you can actually play 24/7 and the other you can't almost nightly and weekends.

What all offline modes you can play 24/7 nice try

There are no "offline" modes in the Show 21. Even RTTS and MTO require a connection to the server to get credit for progress. And even so, if half of your game is unplayable, it means

Resident Evil Village is out soon, and I know that I'm going to be out the door when that comes along.

@brandonm13x_psn said in 10 reasons why this game makes me miserable:

in every aspect im sick of this game 3 weeks in. im tired of getting my hopes up to be let down every day. they had a whole extra month and the only excuse people give you on this website is covid. They aint making a movie, they're making a video game which all involves computers not being in person affects how a game can be made. So stop feeding the BS saying covid's the reason they can't help support and they can't work as quick and efficient because it's straight up not the case. they're caught like a deer in headlights and have 0 clue what to do or what's wrong. 3 weeks deep we still have issues. just sad man just so sad

It's been like this with all businesses and corporations. Using the global health issue as a built in excuse to cover up their own deficiencies and ineptitude. I don't let it fly anywhere I go now. If your business hasn't pulled their /bleep/ together by now, it's their own fault. Whenever I get the "global health issue" excuse told to me on the phone or at a place of business I always reply "Other businesses have had more than ample time to adapt to the new way of doing business, why hasn't your business?" If you are still willing and able to accept my money, then you are still responsible to providing me the product or service. If you aren't able to do that, then don't take my money either.

This is just Xbox right? Same reason I turned off Cross-Play in COD when I still played that cartoon BS, because all the cheaters are on Xbox. Lame AF!

Actually the video is him using it on PS. Haha I guess Xbox gets blamed for everything

Xbox does get blamed for everything. PlayStation users think all Xbox players just play Madden, COD and Fortnite and drink the mountain dew and eat zesty cheese Doritos. I have both consoles, and have always played on both, but I honestly find PS users tend to be the most pent up shills.

@shortybrain_psn said in Worst Game Experience Ever!:

I've spent more money on this game than I'd like to admit, and I can't even play! This is the worst product I've ever invested in. Sever Errors every morning and night. Just Insane. I want my money back!

So glad that I only invested time into this game and no money (Game Pass user). I've played this series of game for over a decade, but I had a feeling this year's version wasn't going to pan out well. I was going to buy this game physically if it actually was a good experience, but now I'll just use the money I would have spent on this game on Resident Evil Village instead.

This game will effectively be out of my mind once RE8 releases. I'm a huge baseball fan, and have played The Show game for over a decade, but I just can't find the will to play this game anymore. I'm lucky that this year I got the game on Game Pass and didn't put any of my own money into the game.

I find it comical how everyone comes in here yelling saying “don’t make it political” and those yelling are the ones bringing up politicians. I just want SDS to stand for values they put on the table. They’re pro BLM and aren’t shy about it. They’re pro LGTBQ+ and aren’t shy about it (again, you can add ally flags to custom stadiums), but they still put out extra cards of abusers just because they’re good at baseball. It’s that simple. I’m not trying to cancel anything. I’m just trying to seek consistency here. Were they apolitical, I wouldn’t have started this thread. But quite simply, stand up for all or stand up for none. Ask the dev team to give us a card exchange and lock the topic @Collin_SDS_PSN because the loud ones have consumed this thread and pulled it well beyond the boundaries of the discussion.

The problem with consistency is that these issues are complicated. Once you weigh into the waters of moral and political issues it becomes messy... One big reason guys like Michael Jordan and TW stayed out of it.

You mention BLM for example, I'm sure SDS, you, most people believe in the slogan, the idea.. but the reality and background of the founders, who just happen to be padding their pockets with sucker corpo cash is much different... https://nypost.com/2020/07/01/the-agenda-of-black-lives-matter-is-far-different-from-the-slogan/

Right now the popular thing to do, both for individuals and business seemingly is to signal to everyone how morally just you are... Some of us have been around long enough to recognize it's all an act, and people are getting their strings pulled dancing around like puppets.

Stop with the cancel culture BS, He hasn’t been found guilty in a court of law so just relax already. It’s just a card in a game If you’re that concerned don’t use the card.

It's not "cancel culture", it's "consequence culture". Major difference. People are being held accountable for their actions like any sane society.
