Next year Sds should implement a function where you can give a " tip of the cap ". It would serve as opposite of the bunt dance if you will. Could also increase sportsmanship...you never know. For example:

You have an inning where maybe you square up 3 balls hard for outs with nothing to show for it....your opponent gives u a tip off the hat. " I feel ya bro "....I hear streamers saying this all the time when something goes horrible for an opponent.

..its like pick up ball u do something good and the other team says....good shot...good take...nice board...etc...not obviously showering you with praise since you are still the opponent....but letting them know when credit is due.

@thizzlyadams said in How's 2020 the show??:

Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.

Then that explains all the BEEF people have with the game!

I know some people are frustrated with the game and others are not. I know we all might not agree. We start fueds that continue on other threads. We watch members go back and forth and then we take our sides and rally around those who agree with our opinion. Sometimes it gets heated but...

I'm thankful for this forum because if it wasnt for you complainers, defenders of the game, bunt dancers and patch analysts....The Show would end when I turn off my ps4. You cant discuss Patch 1.08 with a perfect stranger waiting for your Coffee at your local Starbucks

This forum is like Sportscenter lmao. Everyone coming together at the end of the night to share highlights of their experiences. We may not all agree upon the state of the game but we all agree The Show Nation is pretty dope.

So in conclusion I'm thankful for all of you...even the ones I've blocked lol

Cheers

I would literally (even though I can't afford their time) pay Ramon..luis..and the other guy (no disrespect) money to sit next to me during my RS games so I can pause for them to try and explain what I just saw.....and why....

Stammering, stuttering gaslighting for $400 Alex....(may he rest in peace)

This guy was relentless held on to walk me off in the 15th with a homer to center.
He held me to 2 runs on 17 hits. I couldn't find a way to score. Lol I struck out twice he struck out 14 times but got the 9 hits when it counted.

Goes to show never give up and this is what makes baseball a beautiful and unique game

Mariano Rivera's sinker. It's a good one. The fact that no major league pitching coach or player could show him how to throw an effective one.

Does a little training with Sds...boom throws sinker. Imagine if Sds could have got to him while he was still playing.

Man that title is misleading. I got real excited and was about to buy '20. It's funny how two letters can swing someone's emotions lol

Has anyone seen the video Trevor May put up entitled " My outfield is broken " ....its not really just the outfield but other aspects of the game that haven't been fixed...to his throwing partners real life velocity being incorrect...and no urgency on infield throws.

• editor's note
  To those who are going to bash this post I understand velocity of a pitcher being correct is not that big of a deal...but the others....ehhhhh

@Psycho__Kinetic said in Hey SDS could you actually show you care?:

Dear Stan

My hittings gone cold I'm wondering why...I turned on the game at all...the fastballs mess up my timing window...and I cant see them at all....even if I could it would not be great...a perfect perfect caught at the wall...it reminds me..my hitting is bad...my hitting is baaaaaaad

@JaksDaddy758 said in Showdown sucks:

What I don’t understand about showdown is why they label challenges as rookie or veteran but they play so much different and harder than that.

I can go play conquest, MTO, or vs. cpu on all star and bat around my lineup fairly frequently in an inning. However I struggle to even get on base in rookie and veteran showdown challenges???? It makes no sense.

If they wanna keep showdown this challenging fine, but I think it aggrevates most of us when we go in feeling confident that we can handle these only to find it doesn’t play the way it’s advertised.

I really like the idea of the mode and the way its set up, but it frustrates me even more than ranked seasons.

They came out last year and admitted that the moments labeled at veteran and rookie were not actually at the level. Midseason they changed it and moments became bearable. What turned me off was why would a company deceive its consumers?

Once I saw this it changed my view. I dont want to call it lying but if u can deceive us in one aspect...what other aspect are we being decieved in that just hasnt been revealed yet. Remember they didnt come out and say it...we had to complain and gripe until the jig was up

This is a video game.....swing the bat lol

Glitchy players...hmmm...I would say I would take anyone who is down 0-2 in the count and keeps fouling off 6 or more off speed pitches in the dirt with too/ very early swings

Yes but for the last time. Sds has to retain rights to the players..Why ??because essentially Sds is going to make money off of the players likeness presented in a picture...I mean card....trust me I'm hoping they get them as well.

We havent had enough 99 players in the last couple of years.

I mean this as answering your question and in no way to start an argument.

For the last 3 years we have always complained about the inconsistencies of gameplay every year. Sds and no disrespect to them...tends to lack transparency with its customers. Responding to bugs etc...

There was even a situation where one of the developers really let us know how they felt on a hot mic. People wanted the situation addressed...nothing.

If anything this shows the faith that this community has in Sds. I was once told you teach people how to treat you. In other words probably 35% of the community is saying..

" Here we go again " aka

Manny being Manny

I think the game is telling you there are some new "pictures" in the marketplace!!

The game has been a mess for 3 years. They can handle complaints about the game because it was designed to play this way....but you start offending people on forum boards...that could get them in real trouble.....order of importance goes as follows...

1. Not gettin sued
2. Stubs
3. Pre orders
4. Check swings
5. Card art
6. User input
7. Bringing back Reggie Stocker

It's hard to believe Sds hasnt said anything about '21 yet...have I missed something?

Did they just issue one of those " stay tuned " messages or a live stream???

You ever notice in every situation Sds can bail out a user....that's what's frustrating about the game the most....I know that's baseball...but think about it...everything you do positive can be turned into a negative....that's why check swings are the worst.

You know you fooled him....but you didnt fool his attributes.

How in the world does Farming simulator have more players than mlb the show 20...your telling me people would rather pick up a controller to virtually farm than virtually play baseball!?!?

Mlb the show '17 was 2.7 million
Mlb the show '18 was 2.5 million

I'm still playing '19 since it was the last dime I vowed to give to gameplay. I still havent done all the content since I limited myself to one game a day due to frustration.

I feel that's there problem. Too much content. I still have no problem getting a game on '19 due to a lot of players still playing. My guess is all those players who got it for free, were overwhelmed with content that they felt no need to pay 60+ for a new game when '19 will keep them busy.

Also a lot of the signatures are around 10-18k. Packs are 1k...market is the wild west...some bronzes go for 1k....its crazy but really fun. I think that's why the new players they were trying to get wont pay for the new version when there is enough to keep them busy.

I'm playing bronze and silver players with full 99 teams since it's cheap. Also most of the players that got it for free are probably not the biggest mlb fans.
