What Are You Working On? - MLB The Show 23 Edition

Yeah I just don't think 9 innings are a priority for them. I imagine they think franchise, etc. are where you want and can get that the most. I'm mostly with them, but I do understand the desire to at least play 9 innings because it's the closest thing to the real thing. And Josh you've made your point quite well in the past for your reasons why you want it and I do get it.

I just would rather play my franchise etc. if I want that experience, otherwise I'm here for 9 innings of online play or the tidier modes. That said, I do think it's weird there's no 9-inning mode for at least the "season" mode they do rock, and that things aren't more convenient to at least run the 9-inning games to do stats if you want.

I totally agree with you Chase and to be honest, I'm not even salty about it because I know I am a rare bird. I'm planning on continuing my Reds franchise in '23 so the ONLY reason I'd buy the game is for DD. And well, the idea of an unending barrage of 3 inning games and 'moments' with likely little respite has become less palatable after years of the same thing.

We'll see what next week brings - they've surprised us in the past, so I could totally see them sucking me in with something new....I guess it's just going to be a harder sell for me this year

I also find it strange they haven't enabled 3, 6 or 9 inning settings for Mini Seasons. They could scale rewards based off innings and difficulty and that alone I think would appease a lot of offline players.

I love playing against the CPU on Legend in 9-inning games. If they incorporated rewards and stuff into that, even if they aren't insanely great, I think it would be cool.

Rich Aurilia might be one of the strangest new "legends" ever added to the game next to last year's addition of Jerry Hairston Jr. (don't get me wrong, I like "strange" - but that one caught me off-guard....I also totally forgot he played for the Reds one year, lol)

Maybe they should delineate 'legends' and 'retired dudes' lol

Not upset with Beltre and Palmeiro or Johan, but last year we got Big Mac and Sammy. I hope they're saving Manny or another real legend like Joe DiMaggio or Sandy Koufax.

Officially played my last ranked game and it went into the 11th and I won 5-4



Finished the year 90-18 and going out on a 10 game win streak. Once I started sitting on only inside pitches until two strikes my patience and quality of contact really improved.

So many hitters are like 2% from p5 but time to end the year and wanted to end on a high note.

Going out of town Thursday but heading back in on Friday then will prob binge play the new game but will be starting a little behind everyone else.
