Was this years game a disappointment for anyone else?

Re: Was this years game a disappointment for anyone else?

Hmm, interesting. I also do 30 team control and have no issues with injuries. I started with the injury slider at 7 and actually had to move it down to six because I had so many injuries.

I play with analog throwing and have no issues whatsoever turning double plays, I'm pretty sure the CPU makes more errors there than I do.

As for progression, I thought this year was a big step forward. Past years were too predictable and stagnant. Yes, I think the current system could use some fine-tuning and I hope future versions improve it. Overall, though, I think this year was a big step forward from last year (not that I don't have a laundry list of additions/improvements I'd love to see).

Re: Was this years game a disappointment for anyone else?

I have 30 teams control in m'y franchise, injuries set to 9 and I have now on avg 3 to 10 players injured per team.

Can be a setup problem with the profiles used vs profile association feature

See, I've read countless posts regarding the profiles and nothing. There is a whole thread on it, I have injuries ON for all my profiles and my injury management is set to MLB Only but that shouldn't be the problem.

I do a fantasy draft then exit to get the computer generated faces, some people have said doing a fantasy draft makes injuries glitch and not work. I have yet to test this out completely, but I've done enough test to conclude something definitely isn't right.

Oh ok, maybe this have something to do with the fantasy draft ad the fact to opted out to get generated faces.

If you start a new franchise, can you replicate the problem ?

You can also post a link here with you franchise so other people can take a look.

This game was a major disappointment for me. Wish I could get my money back. If I hear that 'whoosh' sound from rtts one more time my head will explode

I used the FD for the gen faces and get plenty of injuries.

Re: Was this years game a disappointment for anyone else?

The only thing I'm disappointed in is not having enough time to play this fantastic game as much as I would like. But, maybe that's a good thing, too.

Switch to button accuracy and the problem is non existent.
I've used analog throwing since it was introduced but the double play over the head "bug" was killing me so I tried button accuracy and it was gone.

But besides that I prefer button acuracy now! It feels more right or something. It really acts the way it should

Which is great if you are controlling the player. When I play RTTS, I'm either a pitcher, 1st baseman, or outfielder (I'm a lefty). As a pitcher it is highly frustrating to need a double play, get what should be a routine double play, only to watch your middle infielders play like they couldn't make their high school JV team. I could deal with it if it happened once in a while, but it happens at least once a game. In previous versions the double plays seemed to be too automatic and I think they over corrected for that issue in this version.

I use analog and i've never had a problem with turning 2. Well, unless i rush myself and dont flick the RS the proper direction... but i usually just cancel my throw if i realize i messed up

Gosh, don't be such fanboys

The Show is my favorite game and is easily the best sports simulation, hands down. It is not, however, perfect and does have many things that could be improved (as does any game). Ridiculing and giving "one star" ratings to posts that express disappointment with the game is just immature.

We are playing two totally different games then. I have had this happen in 10 or so games over the course of 120 plus (lofting the underhand toss over the second baseman's head or vice a versa). I think that is a tad high....but nothing to ruin my fun at all. Sorry your seeing it every game....can't imagnine why....that's nuts.

I am a well known staunch supporter of The Show....and it is by no means perfect. Things can continue to be improved. No question. Heck I have had a long time beef with the fielding mechanics.....that is why I auto field but handle all the throwing. I actully think the MLB2K series is much more fun to manual field.


And that is due to the beautiful animations The Show gives us. So I am willing to accept a clunky fielding scheme and just let ratings play out my defensive chances then not see the visual beauty of this game. I have gotten so used to auto fielding anyway.....it makes for a better sim IMO.

Re: Was this years game a disappointment for anyone else?

I know overall I enjoy this year's game a lot less than I enjoyed the games of the past few years.

So I'm kinda disappointed in the context of this year's game, but I don't even want to use that word. Yes this game might have come up a bit short, but if you look at the franchise as a whole, you have a new draft/scout system, new interfaces, a new commentator, new ball physics, and I don't even feel like listing all the other 200 things.

They made a lot of great advancements. A few things weren't executed well, but they are clearly headed in a great direction, and I'm pretty confident that 2014 will address issues and bring a far more polished game, along with a bunch of new stuff, of course.

Sometimes people, definitely including myself, confuse "I'm disappointed" with "I wish this game were perfect."

"Disappointment" is an adjective I'd prefer to save for a few other sports video games, all of which I refuse to buy, rent, or play, because of how consistently underwhelming they have been.

So while I always wish a product were better, when I take a big step back, I can't really say I'm disappointed with The Show. Not at all.

Re: Was this years game a disappointment for anyone else?

online leagues have taken a step back in setup for commissioners compared to past seasons. Also the league website has taken a step back, making it a lot harder to track live league games

lmao and it continues several league games this morning and no games are registering this is happening to everyone in leagues, play now and diamond dynasty

Re: Was this years game a disappointment for anyone else?

I still play this game a lot. Especially RTTS.

But I am with you, that this game has some flaws.

The decision to abandon in-game commentary in RTTS was a bad, bad decision. The result is a lack of athmosphere in RTTS.

The Player stats are really through the roof the longer you Play the game. I am now in 2018 and there are a total of 82 Players (July 16th) with an AVG. above .300 and only 35 Pitchers with an ERA below 4.00.

I have changed the sliders (CPU contact, power, etc.) and see no effect at all after simulating one season again and again with differnts slider Settings. They don't seem to have any impact at all?

Re: Was this years game a disappointment for anyone else?

I love the new scouting and draft system but I will agree the progression is a little sketchy. But I think with another year under their belts they will be able to perfect it. Cant really complain to much though I am still playing.

I feel the same way. I loves the new drafting and scouting systems. The gameplay was fun and challenging. But the progression system needs a lot of work.
