Is how I'd expect EA to treat it's customers but SDS is starting to look eerily similar in my eyes.

This is SDS's very own forum. A direct line to the player base of their game and the silence from them is deafening.

I, and many others, are not so unreasonable that we're expecting miracles at this time but some communication would be a great start that you actually give a cr*p about the game and player base beyond dropping packs to juice revenue. Packs and stubs, by the way, I will not drop a single cent on until I see something from this company that makes me feel like you care about the game play experience. Silence is not the answer.

Throw us a bone here. Give us something that suggests you are listening, care, and recognize there are game play issues. Even MLB players are calling you out on their streams.

Step up your game SDS.

Edit: if you can take time to comment about stupid drops that mean nothing then you can find the time to comment about the game play experience which means EVERYTHING.

Try reading a book.

Someone wake me when someone who sucks makes a video of an easy method to beat showdown.

100-1 odds says it doesn't happen lol

Good info. What we need is to track the good/okay with ball centre PCI

Please do so we dont have to see your threads and posts any longer

Super easy. Yeah ok.

Some of you people are clearly out of touch with reality.

There’s a reason I can maintain nearly a million stubs year round without investing a single cent. And if that makes people mad than they need to reexamine their life, because anybody can do it with a little understanding of how a market based economy works. Yes I know, it requires that you stayed in school past the 10th grade.

Lmfao this guy bragging about virtual currency as if it's some sort of life accomplishment hahaha

I personally would like to see max total pause time of 60-90 seconds for an entire game. If you cant make substitutions and use the washroom to take a leak in that time frame then you should have to forfiet or not have entered the game in the first place.

I want to play. Not sit and stare at my screen waiting for you to finish pissing around. Your problems are not mine and vice versa.

To add:

I should not receive a product worse than what I experienced during the beta (which was pretty good). I played the beta a lot and felt the game was in a good place. What I'm playing now is nothing like what I based my purchase decision on and legitimately feel duped.

@Red_Ted_is_back said in Why are people complaining? let's just chill and wait.:

It’s their product, they can do what they want when they want. It’s not like they’ve taken preorders yet.

SDS answers to no-one except ownership and God. And he doesn’t have to answer to us.

Someone has watched Moneyball one too many times lol

I'm a much bigger NFL fan, but you can't even call Madden a football game, because it doesn't play like football if Tres Way is the best QB in the game and nobody passes. It's sort of a rugby/football hybrid game with an NFL skin.

I agree with your general message but you took one year and extrapolated it to the game in all years. Name a year, other than M20, where you could win a game with a punter at QB. I will wait.

What a horrible defense. Considering the most efficient event installment of the game did not even include the quarterback position, what they've done in the past is irrelevant. It's not a football game.

Bad deflection. Clearly you cannot answer the question. I can come up with many examples of trash madden gameplay without resorting to "Punter at QB" for a single year.

@jjsmith605 said in Will you keep playing The Show after Madden drops?:

The fact that they came out and pretty much said they aren't fixing/updating online franchise until next years game has me staying away from Madden altogether... maybe i'll buy it later on when it drops to 30$

That's a fair point and its frustrating to keep as well given I play in a CFM league. That said, at least they have a fully functional online franchise mode complete with play progression/development, contracts, trading, etc. Have you tried MLB's online franchise mode? Talk about garbage.

I don't play Madden. I'm wondering how you can compare the two and say one is a better game? It's an entirely different sport.

Played madden and MLB the past 3 years when I got back into gaming. Switched to MLB when i got sick of madden garbage. Had planned on making MLB my primary game this year when it dropped but the fumbling of patches really soured my desire to make that transition. MLB is a far better product than madden. Less gameplay BS and way better content, esp for NMS people, but I honestly find the game to be too boring for my tastes. I play it and just go through the motion (even after a month long break). Madden frustrates the p!ss out of me no question but I am rarely bored playing a h2h game. I cannot say the same about MLB and I say that as someone whose first love growing up was baseball.

So yeah, two completely different games and it's difficult to compare so I compare my feelings instead. MLB: less gameplay frustration but beyond bored. Madden: routinely annoyed but not bored.

For me, as well, I like the fact that I can get in 3-6 games in a couple hour window at night. Usually towards the 4-6 range. Games rarely go the distance and if they do it's because it was a good game. I can only get in 1-2, MAYBE 3 in MLB. That has an impact on my sentiment as well.

No hate towards MLB. It's a nice break from madden but doesnt juice me up (good or bad) like madden does.

@eatyum said in How does 99 Ryan not have outlier?:

He does? On both the sinker and the fastball

Oh. Sorry. I was looking at the card in game and did not see it on the quirks screen.

Appreciate the info.

Serious question? I get pitchers like Pearson have hit over 100 on a frequent basis but does anyone think Ryan would not if he had the conditioning/training that players today have grown up with?

Seems strange to not give one of the king's of the fastball an outlier quirk.

I remember last month someone paid 425k for King Felix the day after the program was released. Strange times. Had to have been a streamer.

This is mostly what I’m talking about lol it’s crazy how the market works sometimes

Wow you really do like to "lol" don't ya.

You're STILL that person, aren't ya?

Madden says a big fat HELLO

@Lawcasm said in Worth Completing for Mantle at this Point?:

It’s not worth it. I’d rather have the stubs then Mantle, biggie, sheffield and all the live series players.

Biggie kills lefties. I'm just upset that 2Pac only got 85 speed and gold fielding.

I laughed.
