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.

@dmandon757 said in Rant about bugs and other things.....:

And if anyone wants to talk [censored] about my play I was a World Series ranked player in 2019

Same here I feel like an average player that could lose to anyone while last year i felt like I could've beaten anyone when on

Pulled Arenado, Altuve, and Morton in my 20 pack bundle from the pre order bonus. Last yeat i pulled harper to start and I was ecstatic. I then pulled soto from silver exchanges and bought Javy off the market. I felt like i won the lottery

@ENEAS-RT said in Suddenly I'm terrible hitting.:

I used to play online with a friend all the time, and I win most of the time easily. But, suddenly this week I find my self impossible to place the pci on the ball, even on balls on the plate, my timing it's bad and it's impossible to hit a sinker.

I know that you can have good and bad days...But this change it's to abrupt....I it's like if the game had change in a week.

We all suck at hitting right now. Just play at shippet, score 15 runs and hope to not give up 16

He's got 2020 vision

Its just rng. Its too high. That means random [censored] is more likely to happen over user input. So you have to square up the ball and pitch more perfect than your normal skills are.

@EmoneyBags06 said in How are the First Impressions of Jimmy Rollins?:

I need a SS and was considering getting him because he is a switch hitter and his price isn't too high...

J-Roll is a beast I'm batting like 380 ish with him and his swing is smooth. He's my leadoff man and he fields well.

@abbyspapa said in Rng is causing decent players to lose in Ranked Seasons:

Oh I'm sure it's causing indecent players to lose as well. Someone's gotta lose after all, there are no ties in baseball.

I know that too I'm just trying to prove a point. The players that aren't that good can deal with losses but not as well as those with higher expectations. Not trying to say that they won't get upset but it's just not as bad to someone that has more skill

Thats for scrubs. Having guess pitch on makes the game less realistic especially in dd. Theres no point having it on for unranked games in dd when its not on in ranked. Plus you won't get better at hitting knowing every pitch in every location. Go play online rated and put that [censored] on veteran if you want it so badly
