SDS is that you? is this motivation patch 1.6 ?

@CEZdominatesAD said in Too many complaints. Years ago there were no updates. Stop crying:

The new generation of gamers cry and cry and cry. So sad. I’m 35 and been gaming forever. This needs to be patched that needs to be patched. Imagine playing games and some one disconnects and doesn’t get the loss cuz he was winning (mlb the show on ps 2) What about when u would kick a fg in madden people could unplug and replay the Ethernet cord and [censored] up the connection. How about having to play all of the horrible NBA live games that were painful to play?
Stop crying and win games.

So, are you saying people should just spend there hard earned cash like good little sheeple and don’t report gameplay issues ? Not sure what your point is.... I’m glad people point out flaws in the game, in the end it can make for a better game ...

@j9milz said in Wanna know what I love about this game?:

My favorite is when playing the cpu and how alert and urgent they are when throwing the ball in. Yet my outfielders take their time and throw lobs with 90+ arm strength. Lol

Lol that’s funny... The lack of urgency drives you crazy sometimes... THROW THE EFFIN BALL!!!

Pitching hitting duel is what baseballs is all about, you gotta get that part right... Not saying fielding or base running isn’t important, it is, but the pitchers hitters duel is super important... Pitching accuracy should be improved

Real life baseball game as much as possible, with user control of course being a big part, but hitting should be a simulation, higher rated batters should make a difference even when squaring up... Pitching should be accurate, higher rated pitchers even more accurate...

bolded text@theu715 said in Randomized hitting.:

How about fixing pitching? The randomness of pitching has made things even worse. Go back and play MLB 17 or even 18 and see how many times you hit your spot and the pitch goes middle middle or hangs up a ton when you’re throwing below the zone. Hitting will always be somewhat random, but pitching should be 100% user input based as far as pitches going to the location you’re throwing to.

Truth ... Pitching in 19 is a step back from 18, random meatballs even with perfect placement is annoying... 18 that didn’t happen..

@ZABEN2583 said in Post Here If...:

...you DON'T use the PCI. I never have, as I find it distracting. I think I'm just old school. However, I am curious who else doesn't.

I only use directional hitting, It’s more like real batting... when you’re actually hitting in real baseball you don’t have some PCI thing to line up, it’s bat on ball, timing.... PCI makes it so cheesy in my opinion ...

Shame they had the fielding good in 2019 for the most part, no reason to go backwards in 2020...

If you play better you will notice that you won't have any issues.

Playing better won't overcome programming errors...

No judgment, no hate for SDS, but you are a straight up sycophant and troll.

He's right, it is the best Baseball game cause it requires skill.....you might like RBI Baseball better because its more simple and easier to pick up.

So hitting the pitch meter perfectly while aiming outside of the strike zone only to watch the ball hang right down the middle of the plate is skill ?

@boogiewithstu2 said in Hitting camera:

I love Retro camera for hitting, with some adjustments to make it right, go to custom and select Retro then you can adjust it.... I always use medium camera fielding view...

Can’t use custom cameras online

Oh ok, didn’t realize he was talking pure online play... Gotcha

@TeamPotro said in Game Update 1.12 Thread:

Please don’t work on next years version. Move aside and let some other company do the job. It is time to realize you guys have tried for many years and failed. That’s okay, that happens in life. Time to move on. We alejarte the effort.

Money to be made, as long as people keep DD alive, DD will live and be the main focus ...

@Nes-CLassic92b8 said in Game Update 1.12 Thread:

Sds doesnt care as long as we continue to fork out money year after year they will continue to do this kind of stuff. I am not buying next year I am done this year. with the exception of offline play and conquest im done. This company is getting like EA sports madden mut. thats all sds cares about id DD they dont care to take care of franchise or any per say offline play. Like I said before MVP 2005 is the best baseball game ever made all this show [censored] is not it this game is broken year after year. In fact I think im gonna go play MVP 2003,2004,2005 ON MY PS2. Even baseball stars was better then this wanna be show game. This game is BROKEN PERIOD

Focus on maximizing profit is hurting the core of the game... They can still do DD and keep the core gameplay solid, but they’re not, and that’s a shame .... We still have older versions of the show, which I like... MVP baseball I still play from time to time on my original Xbox, it’s a good game for sure... But some of the older Shows I prefer...

I love Retro camera for hitting, with some adjustments to make it right, go to custom and select Retro then you can adjust it.... I always use medium camera fielding view...

Adam Stan good stuff .... I love having some legend players, it’s cool, being an M’s fan seeing Griffey and Edgar is a plus, I like using them in franchise offline... But you’re right, diamond dynasty has lowered the quality of gameplay, the focus is making money off packs, and as long as people keep spending, that’s where the focus will be... I’ve never spent a dime on packs, I don’t get the obsession of building a super team to compete online, it’s not fun constantly playing with all star level teams... I walked away from Madden years ago, gameplay is garbage in that game... I’m concerned SDS is leaning down that path, and I hope I’m wrong because I’ve loved the Show over the years, just like I loved Madden back in the PS2 day’s... But I will walk away if they don’t keep the gameplay solid, it should always be number one....

You want the game to be robotic?....what you're asking for when you want exact control is when you're trying to play the show as a video game not a simulation. Real life you can feel like you're totally on that day but your pitches don't hit your spots or you're slightly off your swing and you hit a pop up.....that's reality you online people. That's the problem with the show sometimes, online kids want to play The Show as a video game and others want to play it as a Sim, that's why there should be two games.

I like the simulation aspects, 100 percent ... But I also think baseball is about the hitters pitcher duel, if you're not gonna reward the pitcher for hitting the mark perfectly on the meter then it's ruining that chess match.... Some of these pitches just hang right down the middle for no dam reason, even if you're aiming outside the strike zone.... I can accept the simulation aspect of a pitcher getting tired and losing his accuracy, that's the simulation side of it, but not early on when he's fresh, pitching must be addressed at some point...

@joshjays44 said in Can we be specific?:

Its not the game its the online community dumbing down The Show, its getting easier and easier every year....little no talent casual kids complain that the game is too hard so SDS has to dumb it down more. That's why SDS should release two versions of the show, a DD version and a Simulation/Franchise version.

I have made this same comment before on a different forum and didn't go so well.but I definitely agree dd should probably be its own game so that the simulation/franchise game actually gets the attention,upgrades and new features it desperately needs and deserves....I use to be all about franchise in the show especially after you could carry it into the next game every year so you didn't have to restart it,but once I saw they were never going to give it the upgrades and new features it needs I stopped playing franchise an just do dd because it's the only thing they focus on every year now,which is fine but not at the cost of franchise...it's just sad

That’s why I stick with older versions ...

You can still enjoy the offline experience, it’s baseball after all, and if you love the game enjoy it ...
