Re: MLB The Show 21 Patch 12 Available Today - Patch Notes

They haven't been involved in the community for years and for good reason. If they actually came here on OS like Russell and a couple others used to and said that, we would have a handful of people strongly criticizing and saying how could they release the game with that problem, blah blah blah. That's exactly why they no longer post here imo and I don't blame them.

No, my point was not that they have to hop on OS or any other forum, and engage with the community.

I’m sure they are aware of the issues. They get the reports and submissions on it all.

However, I think companies and businesses can buy themselves a solid amount of goodwill with transparency. Could they post major/larger known issues on a central location, and acknowledge what can be patched/will be patched during the 2021 cycle, or what will be addressed in future iterations?

I don’t expect or need interaction, but transparency would be nice. They used to be much more active, and in my opinion, the quality of the product was much better when they were. That’s not practical anymore, but more transparency would at least make it feel more connected.

But anymore, they can buy folks off with a free pack or a couple thousand stubs, and all is well.

Yo i 1000% agree with you. It is just a video game, its not real life. No matter how hard you try to make this real life, its still a video game. Just enjoy it. Or if not, then move onto another video game.

I think sometimes people forget this is a video game.

Sometimes silence is all the transparency you need. Just ask a man who has their wife pissed off at them lol

Re: MLB The Show 21 Patch 12 Available Today - Patch Notes

I don't know what they fixed but they didn't fix the game crashing in manage mode when you pinch hit or pinch run with a player not at the same position as they play being replaced. Just crashed for me.

This is very frustrating. I submitted a bug report and submitted a video each and every time - still not fixed. It's clear to me the addition of the ps5 and xbox in the same year was too much for the developers to handle. They need to expand the staff and since xbox wanted to be part of the game they should fund the additional payroll.

I just experimented with this. Game does crash. I play about half my games on MOM so i’ll have to be careful with this.

Transparency doesn't do anything anymore.

If they state they are aware of the bug and are looking into it, people are going to assume that this means they will fix it.If they come out later stating sorry but it cannot be fixed, then people are just going to call them lazy, don't care, say its because its not DD, etc..etc...

If they straight out say that they cannot fix the issue, then people are going to call them lazy, say they don't care, say they would if it was DD, etc..etc..

Man that is true. And I remember the days when once you bought a game, that was it. No updates. No bug fixes. They got your money and that was that.

If they fix day games in franchise and add night games to created stadiums, that is all I need to be happy.

Spot on. Exactly what would happen with full transparency. Silence is enough transparency for me to understand what is or isn't going to be addressed in any video game.

Re: MLB The Show 21 Patch 12 Available Today - Patch Notes

Lol at people getting mad and telling people they don't have a right to at least expect a company to at least acknowledge a pretty big issue in a game they paid for. I didn't call the company negative names or swear off the game. I simply would just like ANY info at all if the issue cuz YES it is a big deal to me. the Padres and Dodgers is the hottest games in the MLB this year and I wanna replicate that in franchise, but I can never experience that in a nighttime atmosphere? It might not be a big deal to some, but don't tell others what is a big deal to them on a game they bought. And it fixing in the second year isn't the same. Player movement is a pretty big thing in the MLB and the rosters won't be the same and a lot of player portraits will be gone. Plus, someone has already stated that the bug does come back in the third year I'm pretty sure.

Nobody said you didn’t have a right, just shared what will happen if they did.

And nobody said it wasn’t a big deal. I only play 2 of the teams effected three times in their ballpark and it’s very annoying they are day games. Kills the immersion. I can only imagine being one of those teams.

They do know about the bug. Whether they can fix it or not time will tell.

And it comes back the 6th not the third year according to some.

Whether it's a big deal is debatable at best, but I do get that it is aggravating for some, it would bother me as well. That said they are under no obligation to acknowledge anything as it's not a game breaker.

We used to have great interaction with the devs here, in fact we contributed here in fixing a large scheduling bug several years back due in large to our ability to contact them directly in these forums. However a certain subset of our user base at OS quite frankly ruined that dynamic and it is now gone forever.

This idea about devs not posting here because of meanies is ridiculous. People who want to throw dirt at devs will do it. Twitter, their own forums, wherever. Nothing special about OS guys being meanies to devs. The idea is laughable right on its face.

A key difference is probably that spending time on their forums or Twitter/other social media is likely seen as part of the job because it's 2021 and that's where a lot of feedback is.

Coming to an old message board like OS would be something done on their free time, and who wants to deal with that bull**** when you're off the clock? Not me, I'm sure not you, and I'm sure not any game devs.
