Have you heard of the sunk cost fallacy? Because that's basically what you wrote here.

Yes I know what that is so whats your point. I already feel like a moron paying for this so might as well suffer for this decision. Its not like ive spent money on anything else besides the actual game. Let me play and suffer with this trash because if i dont play it i will still feel like a moron knowing i paid for this trash. My chances of buying mlb the show 21 is literally at 0 percent.

Sorry im not trying to get at you or be mean im just pissed i bought this game at the moment.

Be careful if you voice your opinion on here or get upset you might get banned. Almost happened to me. The buthurt offended kids are gonna come hunt you down for not suffering on the game with them. I'm done for the rest of the year too

I just played one ranked seasons game on MLB 19 The Show and I can honestly say that MLB 19 is a much more complete game and more enjoyable game than 20 and its not even close. I took a look at my team and felt like all the time i spent making world series and griding was worth it. I actually felt like I could beat anyone not just because i had all 99s but because i didn't have to worry about losing every game. I felt a huge weight off of my shoulders and had fun. The fact that I'm actually under 500 (I'm 11 - 14 in the current season and 75 and 55 in the game overall) in the low wild card in mlb 20 after 20 ish games where as in 19 i was always close to Championship series after 20 games shows a big difference. from expecting more bad things to happen than good is already a great reason to say that ranked season in MLB 20 is in its worse state its ever been in so not the game being the worst. Oh and sorry for ranting a bit i got carried away. Which one do y'all like more?

One of my earlier posts from today was removed because of people either going at each other in the comments or someone flagging my post for being a rant about the game so I want to make an apology for speaking my mind. I don't really know why it was removed but I'm sorry for talking about how i felt today after playing ranked seasons and saying that i won't be playing this game anymore for the rest of the year unless someone can teach me the ways of the force. I'm being serious and sarcastic. I'm also sorry for being so bad at the game as well.

@boogiewithstu2 said in Is the game worth the purchase ?:

Still ballin 2019, just wondering in your opinion is the game worth the upgrade ? I’m gonna get it eventually, but is it worth it right now ? Or would waiting be the smarter move ?

I pre ordered the 100$ edition not only cause i love the game and I'm a huge fan of Javy and the cubs but because its definitely worth it. Don't let some of these losers on here that [censored] about every little thing make the game not worth getting. There's so many top streamers and content creators you can follow or learn from who aren't even elite players themselves (other than Kyle, rebel, gunkski etc). Definitely pick it up.

For everyone upset at getting screwed over use this post to rant. When the game chooses to [censored] you over theres nothing you can do. Friday i will be trying out alec bohm and along with enjoying using gavin lux more to enioy myself on ranked seasons while ignoring my 701 rating and 18 and 18 record this season. Again I am 18 and 18 and I was one of the best players in the game last year. Ignore the trolls that defend the game. You can still have fun. Switch up the lineup. We are all dealing with the same bs.

@Dudeman22_ said in Way To Take Control Out Of The Players Hands:

Latest game was, not to be disrespectful, but the worst player I have ever played on HoF. At least 50 very early or very late swings and had absolutely no clue at the plate. Never had so many lineouts, weak contact w good pci, and foul ball homers ever. Can just feel the game taking control. At least it was finally the game that pushed me to delete MLB!

Its all good bro. I didn't delete mine but i just have backup games to play instead. Your not the only one dealing with this. The frustration will die off when your playing something else

I played 5 to 6 games and made it to 823 on a 5 game win streak and beat a guy that was 45 and 15 only to get one hit by kluber. I'm so thankful that i was able to make cs again cause i quit in the 5th inning against kluber and didn't care about playing another game. SDS needs to buff hitting, increase exit velocities or remove him from the game because he killed my streak and my vibe. I was jamming to Drakes new album too. Someone tell me how to hit kluber

@Nats19Champions said in Online play has become a disaster:

I wish I could post a screenshot although I did email it in to the Show team, but I lost a game last night because of a bad call at first that was even worse than Jim Joyce in the perfect game. My runner's foot had crossed the bag literally 2 full seconds before the ball hit the fielder's glove, yet was called out.

Then, in my next game, I was up 3-0 late when everything froze. I left the game on the screen and checked my internet connection, which was running fast and flawlessly. After about an hour, I turned off the game and sure enough, I received a loss despite perfectly working internet and being well ahead in the game.

I am done with online play and certainly with buying stubs or next year's game until you fix these ridiculous bugs and also crack down on cheaters. Playing online is supposed to be fun, instead it's been ruined by glitches and those who exploit them. Enough is enough.

Careful if you offend too many people on here you'll get banned for speaking the truth

Not trying to brag but I'm currently number 1 right now in MLB 19 the show and I'm having a blast on my 12 game win streak in mlb 19 and man hitting feels so much better. I figured out that hitting in 20 isn't the problem. Its the timing windows. The windows are broken so your timing against different speeds, different windups, and connection, are too random to have consistent success on offense unless you are elite and know how to combat it (which not many of us are). I've beaten 7 Kershaws and scored 5 plus in all games against decent players still playing 19 where as in 20 the timing feels completely off. It feels like your relearning how to hit. I believe sds ran out of time to tune some things because of the pandemic so I'll give them a pass. Any thoughts

In a 3-3 game in the 6th inning i get under a routine flyball with ty cobb and he literally gets into an animation where he lets the ball drop. Like i can't move him at all. I've never [censored] happen in any show game. I dropped from 840 to 760. This game is [censored] trash. I'm so glad I have other games to play cause Otherwise I'd be more upset. 20 is terrible. Mlb 11 on the psp was a better game and it had no multiplayer.

@jz2016cubs said in Stop pausing after every pitch!:

Yesterday I was playing someone in ranked seasons. I was beating them 4-1. After every batter, they would pause for about 20 seconds or more. It drove me INSANE. If I had been losing, I would have quit right there. Thankfully, this guy was dumb enough to leave it paused long enough for the pause time to run out.

The worst is when people used to hold R2 before every pitch and pause everytime they got a hit too. [censored] was annoying.

Agreed. I hold R2 only to either look at the card, the previous pitches, or to see a pitchers stamina/confidence. Some people hold it the whole time. I had that happen yesterday. I would select my pitch, then have to wait 4 seconds to wind up.

I hold R2 to check the pitcher's pitches, confidence, and stamina.

Yep. It's amazing how many feathers are ruffled when you point out obvious glitches and call out cheaters. I strongly suspect that many posters here are the actual cheaters.

They're not cheaters they're just trash and they enjoy winning off of the bs that happens to players better than them. Seeing players better than then struggle raises their self esteem

I'm batting like 100 with charlie Blackmon. I don't even remember hitting a line drive with him yet

@jz2016cubs said in My CF chose not to catch the ball:

I hate when that happens. I have lost at least 5 games because my centerfielder can't catch, even if he is a good fielder.

What's funny is that isn't even the main issue with this game. Hitting is so bad like its terrible. I feel no user input at all and it's gets annoying seeing so many people say that hitting is better when its clearly not.

@ryansitko11 said in I made WS last night:

It was the least fun experience playing The Show I've had in a long time. This isn't a brag post, I'm just sharing my experience and my thoughts about a WS run. Its a lot of rambling so feel free to not read it

I'm a competitive person by nature. Ranked seasons is how I fill my need for competition in my life, especially with COVID-19 and not being able to do anything else. Sadly, ranked seasons has turned into the opposite of competitive. It is nothing but a series of random outcomes where your input as a user hardly matters at all.

Almost every game there was something that made me want to throw my PS4 out the window, whether it be good/okays, or multiple perfect/perfect outs, or my pitches going wherever they want to, or my fielders forgetting how to pick up a baseball. Because of all this, I could only manage to play 2 or 3 games a day for most of the season. There were more days where I didn't play then days I played.

I had been sitting at ~850 and needed to get over the hump, partially because I wanted Britton, and partially to fulfill my competitive desire and finish what I started. So I sat down and grinded it out until I finally got there. In one game, I had about 4 good/squared outs and one perfect/perfect out, while my opponent had 3 total hits, one of which was an early/good home run. I ended up losing that one on a late/squared screamer down the line.

In the game where I made WS, I had 4 runs, only 2 of which were deserved, and my opponent had about 6 instances of hard hit balls going directly to fielders. I can say without a doubt that I didn't deserve that win, or at the least it shouldn't have been a 4-1 game. When I win I want it to feel deserved, and therein lies the problem.

I don't think I'm going to even bother with RS this season. I have no motivation to improve my skills, because what's the point? It was more of a headache than anything battling with RNGesus to make WS this time around. And even when I made it there, I didn't feel it was deserved. It truly is sad to see that what was once a fairly competitive game has devolved into a button clicking simulation where no skill is required to succeed.

Congrats man. Enjoy it. I can't deal with the bs so i don't even care about my rating anymore but you put up with it so good for you.
