Do you guys get bored with MLB The Show?

Both the instigator and the user who went with it are now banned so we can move on.

Please note though for any future interactions any of you may have, one is only temporary banned because he made one dumb comment. The other user chose to double down on his poor posting choices and won't be back.



Second Edit: Also, just as a heads up to everyone since it was mentioned, it's important to know that mods CANNOT see original posts after they've been edited so it is important to report them before an edit is done. When it's reported we see the original post at the time of the report rather than any other edit.

We CAN see deleted posts.

I feel the exact same way. What really sucks is this game used to blow me away year after year but now it’s close to me not caring much at all.

Part of that comes from playing so much over the last few years but part is also that the direction the game is going really doesn’t cater to me at all. I will never care about online modes. The reality is that these guys aren’t my personal game developers and clearly they are making a game they believe the people want. Apparently esports is more popular than nfl football for young males so I guess I’m finally the old guy and soon I’ll be talking bout the good ole days.

We will have to see what gets talked about in franchise but the late release of information has me very worried. Feels like trying to get a few more preorders in before the bomb drops scenario but again it is what it is.

Are you talking about me who started this thread? I am not banned.

No, starting the thread had nothing to do with what transpired throughout the course of it.

Different how?

Awesome. Thanks Kehlis. This is why I quoted such a post to make sure you guys can see that. I will keep this in mind.

Will now drop as I am not contributing to the point at hand.

I agree with the OP here. I got bored of the past 2 MLB The Shows as well. As a pure franchise mode player I just couldn't get into it because it had become stale. It actually got me into the OOTP games.

Looking forward to seeing what they do with franchise mode this year though.

Yeah it was weird that I became a little bored with franchise this year too. I ended up playing mostly DD surprisingly. I am really holding out hope for some great improvements in tomorrow franchise stream.
