We want to win so bad and we're super competitive that the fun taken out of the game. We care so much about our records and stats. I have definitely been like this alot, yes the game has it's issues but I just realized that I have cards that I don't even use. I just use my main cards. Well we can have up to 4 different line ups and all with different cards. So I'm done woorying about my record and if crazy stuff happens in the game. Yes I want to win every game that I can but more importantly I want to try out different cards to see what its like to play with them, instead of using them for 3 AB's in a whole year. Yes I know events have you use different cards when they come out but they are usually not 9 inning games. So I'm creating different line ups and trying different cards I've grinded for or got in packs.

The Bottom line is, this games is atrocious. So many players in the community has multiple problems with it.

This game is freaking awful. I even took a few days away from it just to clear my head and see if it's really me being super bad at the game. Nope that is not the case this game plays awful. Fire your gameplay team!

Ok so I play online here and there, I don't have too much of a problem with it. But for instance with the programs from last year it seems like they really pushed online grind. The only offline stuff we could was conquest and I'm not a huge fan of conquest and moments I hope and pray that that we have more to do offline to help with is get through whatever program they gave us grind. Idk that's just my experience and my two cents.

I think as a community we can all agree that we hate moments.

Good /Okay should not be rewarded more than Good/Good.

No matter how many online games I play it how good my bullpen is or who I have in it. They seem to always collapse. I could face a team full of silver players and still late in games my gold or better bullpen can lose a game. I think I'm better off leaving my starter in for a full 9 innings Something visit up with pitching this year.

I really really do. A lot of things to get cards and to complete the programs you have to play online. Don't come at me with the whole "You can play conquest". I hate conquest as well hated it every since the show 17. I just played a few event games and I could just tell user input did not matter. My pitcher had a clean first inning then the very next inning he threw five straight balls. He walked the first guy but I wasn't trying to paint the corners I just wanted to throw strikes right in the zone and get the contact, But nope game wouldn't let me do that. Also my opponent pitcher was a walking my guys. I really felt the algorithm in that game where user input was non-existent for either of us. I don't think they would ever get online play right really wish there was another company that makes another baseball game.

Oh man it would sure be nice to open packs and get something else besides multiple bronze. I've opened probably about 50 to 65 packs so far and have pulled about 4-5 silvers the rest were bronze. No golds or diamonds. I'm definitely starting to lose interest in this game.

Idk if anyone else feels this way but playing the game on all star is so freaking frustrating. No matter if I'm playing someone online or playing the CPU, there seem to be some nonsense that seems to happen such as some bogus hits from either myself or opponents Animations are pretty bad and on average I can't score more than 1 to 2 runs. Yet I played two games against the cpu on hall of fame to do the blake snell program and I scored 5+ runs each game and I was getting good hits and my fielders weren't making any dumb any animations. Seems to me on all star I can never hit any HR's but on hall of fame my power hitters where actually smacking the ball out of the park. In those two games I hit 5 or 6 HR's with my best DD line up. I guess I'll try and play people online with Hall of Fame difficulty and see if my success transfer.

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

I get the sentiment, but taking a few minutes to update people what's going on has 0 effect on development, it may be that they are working super hard to really improve the gameplay, but that doesn't mean they don't have a few minutes to write a Twitter post or something.

Yeah I get what you're saying.

The past few days I've noticed that people are complaining about not hearing anything new about The Show 21. I say let's just chill out and wait it will come. Think about it this way, if they are this quiet about the new game. Maybe they are actually are making some big changes to the game as far as content, front end stuff and maybe adding game modes. Also a big one maybe they are actually fixing gameplay. Because of how bad the gameplay was in this past years game. They are thinking well we need to do something about this. I know personally I would rather have them be quiet as much as possible for as long as possible and then come out with a game with the best gameplay this franchise has ever produced rather them rushing to putting out information and fulfilling the needs of consumers wanting to hear something about the new game and the game is trash. So let's take a chill pill and maybe do something else to occupy our time. We are only two weeks into the new year. But I bet we hear something about the new game towards the end of February and I am ok with that.

Yeah maybe I let my so a starter shouldn't go more than 4 innings in a game? So what about when I bring my bullpen in and they can never keep the game in check no matter who I'm playing?

Seems like ever game in the 7th Inning or later there is always an error or weird animation that happens that is always followed by an extra base hit it could be a double, triple or Home Run. Majority of my losses come from things like that happen. Now look at the game I just played a person that wasn't the best player I've played. I could really tell yet I still lost. I'm far from the best player at this game I know there are areas I need work on But I had 7 hits and only scored 1 run while my opponent had 3 hits and scored three runs courtesy of the weird animation my left fielder had followed by a two-run shot right after. What is this formula? Why does this happen so much?

I used all types of Strike Zone views. And I am consistently late. I think I need to use wide.

I know it's pretty late in the year to ask for tips but I'm always looking to get better. So I'm late on a lot of pitches consistently like I'm in the green late. How do I fix this I guess you need to early in this game. What hitting view should I be using?

It would be having the quirks underneath the player or to the side of the player's fielding shield. Kind of like 2k does with it's player models so we know what they're quirks are. I honestly think that this franchise has been behind when it comes to quirks or signatures compared to other sports games.

I think this is a good mode for offline players like myself. I played this mode hardcore earlier on in the spring/summer then I forgot about it. I think it is a good mode now that I'm playing it again with my third team. But I'm curious how can they make it better next year? What can they add?

Has this happened to anyone? I just completed a mission in showdown where I hit a walk off against Felix Hernandez and when I exit that mission/game it said "unhandle service connection the missionwas complete but since no connection that will be a lost." I was super mad because I had a great team. And now I have to start over again. Has this happened to anyone else?
