    PC culture rewrites history.

    Just FYI -- The "Throwback" 1989 Cleveland Indians uniforms -- which are famous because of the "Major League" movie franchise -- are not accurate in the game.

    I get that SDS would never use the real logo that appeared on that uniforms hat -- Its a dang logo but it might offend someone. God forbid. (Or it may be banned from official use by the MLB for all i know)

    BUT THEN DONT INCLUDE THE UNIFORM.

    Rewriting history by CHANGING the uniform and including a version that NEVER EXISTED is is dishonest.

    Either include the whole uniform as it existed or dont....but changing it and then using it to make money while never mentioning that its not really the 1989 uniform is dishonest..

    If you cant use the logo because of MLB rules...just say so. If you did it because of your own sensibilities...have the guts to say that too.

    Or just dont use a uniform that is not acceptable to current standards.

    People deserve better than to be spoon fed, a sanitized, fake version of baseball.

    IMHO

    Another note to improve "Moments"

    Is there a need for CPU pitchers to include the logic to try to pick off runners standing on 1st? The "Moment" is about me (the batter), hitting a HR, and the runner is completely irrelevant. Does the runner need to have "stealing" logic either?

    It becomes frustrating to wait for 3 or 4 pick off attempts and then a steal attempt when they have no bearing on the "Moment".

    Taking out all unnecessary CPU mechanics that make the player a spectator, would keep things moving. The more things keep moving during "Moments" the more enjoyable they are.

    Just my 2 cents.
    Thank you for your consideration.

    RE: Hey SDS...

    Just beat them on the field and let them stew in their own broken soul.

    The tattletale thing just rubs me the wrong way, sorry. Its words on a screen, they cant hurt you. If you dont want to play someone with a dark sense of humor or that even is a [censored] -- quit out.

    People that run to mommy and tell on them is worse than someone with a spicy team name.

    To the adult men i know, anyway.

    Running to snitch instead of ignoring a fool, is called being a beta male.

    Cheers though.

    RE: Why is the card art always the same on legends?

    Because the devs prioritize things like making a "Switch" version & photoshopping the word "indians" off uniforms instead of details like updating old card art. There is limited hours in the day, and id argue they didnt make the best use of them this year....

    RE: I've had enough...

    Im sorry my friend. There is no excuse for the disastrous pile of garbage they released. The amount of lost stubs and time by players is class action suit worthy.
    Ive been a defender of the game and SDS for years, but their silence is unforgivable.
    Over a week into launch and you cant even feel sure your game will count or your cards will appear in your inventory.

    All people can do is keep telling their stories. Make sure to do it on other forums. So far this situation is being virtually ignored outside of the community.

    Godspeed.

    RE: Homerun Derby moment against Ramone in AS Acuna Program!

    I thought it was a fun moment. It took me a minute to get used to Ramone's "fast" ball. Once i got locked it, it was pretty easy.

    I like when they think outside the box with these Moments though. It breaks up the monotony of the usual ones.

    Someone at SDS get Ramone on a throwing program for next year!

    Im tired of seeing outfielders run into the wall while making the catch.

    Ive seen it 3 times in my life and it happens 3 times a game. Its ridiculous and says something negative about ball flight and AI defender logic.

    It makes the game seem canned.

    I hope its something that is fixed in future versions of the franchise.

    Thank you for your time.

    RE: No Way Devs Are Proud

    Absolutely agree. Every aspect of the game is worse than last year. Ive never seen such unrealistic game "physics" in a "The Show" game. Every 4th hit is a diving catch. Line drives float at 20 mph. Players warp to get into a catch animation. The pitcher is a black hole that catches anything within a 10 ft width around the mound. Then there is the graphical glitches from LAST YEAR that still arent fixed. Then there are the dozen crashes ive experienced in limited play time, and 2 complete console locks, in which i had to hard reset my XBox.
    (Yeah, im playing on Game Pass b/c i wasnt preordering after those awful "feature premieres" --- "Switch" & "Co-op" -- really?)
    The programs are SO stripped down. The content is unengaging. Everything seems sloppy & low effort.
    Not to mention -- this is the first real NEXT GEN year and we got NOTHING to make use of all that console power.
    Its just a complete disappointment.
    This should have been the year they made the game more realistic than ever, and instead we got a soulless Madden-itzation of the franchise.
    Is it me or have the decreased the stubs you get from playing,too? I feel like i used to get enough to at least buy a card here & there....this year i swear ive gotten like SINGLE DIGITS for playing conquest games.
    TBH - its probably Sony that forced SDS to focus on everything but the game....i just dont understand how a studio declines that fast -- something behind the scenes must be going on.

    RE: Has anyone had fun playing moments?

    Cant stand them.

    Waiting during every at bat for the requisite 3 balls before getting a pitch to hit....sometimes then you still dont get one. Losing whole at bats because i need a double and the man at first wont advance past second unless its hit in the upper deck. Losing whole games because AI game flow caused me to only get 3 at bats. Suffering through having to get XBHs with a contact hitter going up against a sinker ball pitcher. Suffering through 7 game moments when all of these things happen leading to being a hit short.

    Meanwhile you get zero team affinity, cant try out new cards, and spend most of your time waiting for "restart" to light up so you can click it.

    I know some of those stat grinds in The Show 18 were tough, but you could always be making progress towards something else, too.
    I preferred them in every way.

    Moments are a dark cloud i cant wait to get over with.....

    RE: These new moments

    Who thought loading after every at bat was a good idea? Come on, man. You are better than this SDS.

    Playing it once should have alerted someone to its game breaking flaw.

    This is not going to make "Moments" any more popular, either.

    RE: USA Conquest Map

    Stealing fans is virtually unnecessary if your only goal is finishing the map, and you dont care about finishing it in a certain amount of turns.

    RE: Completed Spring Clean Up & Big Dog Program .....

    I pulled Acuna last week.....but a whole lot of squat since. Pulling Acuna is a big deal and even though that should be what i think about.....i cant help but be bummed about a week of packs with 4 free agents and a bronze.
    I think its just how our minds work. No matter how good a pack is....if the next one sucks we are bummed again instantly.
    The packs are weighted with odds.....odds against getting something good.....its just how it has to be or we all would have the best players and the chase would end....and we would be bored.
    Just know, something great is probably around the corner.....enjoy playing the game, and let packs be a bonus. If you get something awesome, if not, use what you got. Its about playing baseball first and foremost.....dont let the packs ruin the reason we are here.
    I think about it wrong all the time.....but we have to keep reminding each other.....

    RE: The SUPERDIVE

    Every player dives like a super athlete with super human reflexes and gravity & friction turned off. I dont know how anyone thought this change was game worthy.

    1. Unless you have gold or better fielding.....you shouldnt have a dive. Thats the first fix. You dont see even mediocre fielders dive because its a skill and most players dont have it. Is The Show a Simulation or not?
    2. Laterally, you dont slide along the ground then catch the ball -- You catch the ball in the air or just as you hit the ground, then momentum carries you and you slide to a stop. The dive in this game is some weird anti gravity, anti friction slide along the ground INTO the ball......its just ridiculous. The animation is all wrong. The physics are all wrong.
      Its next gen - Gravity and friction are possible in the game....use them....or fake it more creatively....games did it successfully long before they had current levels of tech.
    3. Dives are RARE. They shouldnt be happening 5 times a game. There is something completely off when they are happening so often.
      If "The Show" is supposed to be more simulation than arcade game....this is important.

    It just feels like the game has gone backwards this year.....and the absurdity of how dives now work is one of the reasons.

    In my last 2 tries to play Showdown- crashes have cost me 2 losses & 1000 stubs.

    The Big Dog Showdown has now crashed twice on me in the last 24 hours....on XBox FYI - It counts it as a loss so you lose your progress and the entry price. Both times trying to start the 2nd challenge so i hadnt made my stubs back.

    Other showdowns (and conquest games) have crashed on me, giving me an automatic loss....but it seems to be happening more frequently.....and its hard to keep your patience when it just continues to happen and costing me stubs.

    Please look into it. Xbox obviously has crash problems, so something needs to be instituted to protect players from losing stubs, at least....

    RE: Conquest & Mini Seasons: Really, SDS?!

    My game just crashes and closes every third game or so.....and you get credited with a loss - Its getting tiresome. Plus -- wheres all the content this year? Last year we had Innings, plus TA which was a whole games worth of content in itself, plus new moments every week, plus special events, plus tons of new conquest maps, giant monthly award programs, & more -- This year i feel like they cut 75% of the content. One program....and they are trying to stretch what was weekly moments & an end of month huge content card drop, into a few moments each week --
    What is going on?

    RE: For those with experience with PS5 and XB X

    @cdnmoneymaker93_xbl said in For those with experience with PS5 and XB X:

    Forza Horizon 5
    Gears 5

    Gears 5 is a disaster of lameness. If i wanted to play sailboat id go outside. Its the worst Gears game by a mile and is a reason to buy a PS5.

    Horizon 5 is fine but thats it....that the whole XBox list?

    What a terrible company.

    Love the conquest maps!

    Ive had some issues with this years game, but i want to compliment SDS when they deserve it, too.
    I really enjoy the conquest maps. The overall challenge of this type of content is my favorite because you can set the difficulty to your preferred challenge level, and get some hidden rewards in the process.
    I appreciate the work put into the maps, and want to offer my appreciation for their increased inclusion as content over the past few years.

    Thanks SDS -

    @x-alec_j-x_psn said in You forgot the garbage can banging:

    Just a reminder that the last moment in the Houston program is missing the famous banging that alerted Altuve to the pitch and allowed him to tee off on it.

    The Astros are cheaters and i found it an odd choice to memorialize the most famous cheating moment.

    At least without noting it......so i did.

    But they did acknowledge the buzzer Altuve was wearing in the title.

    HOLY [censored] -- i forgot the buzzer-- YOURE RIGHT.

    My apologies! Excellent Troll! I withdraw my complaint and offer a sincere BRAVO!
