MLB The Show 22: Year to Year Saves Remain Out, Stadiums Will Not Transfer

[BigOscar]

Well they've announced it'll be free on gamespass, so I guess I will still be getting it, but honestly I wouldn't give these guys a penny of my money these past few years. The zero dollars would adequately cover the amount of effort they've put into franchise, which has gone from staying exactly the same every year, to getting actively worse.

It's hugely disappointing and sadly I doubt it will change. The money is in mobile phone style games, not in depth single player games that don't "suggest" you spend a bit more money all the time.

Franchise is living on borrowed time, as soon as an issue arises that will take a solid amount of development time to fix, that aspect will be removed as it's easier. Unless they discover a way to monetise it, they simply won't put the resources into it to keep it viable

The problem with this argument is they are NOT making updates to franchise AND removed y2y saves.

And they absolutely can bring it back if they wanted too. The problem is it would take valuable time away from them releasing a Geronimo Berroa diamond boss card in the 7th inning.

They still need to fix a few things so that setup guys are used in games and NOT just with 1 or 2 run leads in the 8th innings. I feel a lot of my come backs are because of boneheaded CPU BP moves

Seems like it'll be another year of MLB 20 and Super Mega Baseball for me but we'll see. If the updates to franchise and or RTTS are worthwhile, I'm not against buying it but my hopes are not very high.

while the Studio isn't making every upgrade everyone wants, the upgrades however minimum, are there. for one instance in 21, 93 man rosters. would most of us preferred 100? sure, but by now we all expect baby steps. that's the track record. and for the record, I was extremely displeased with the decision to kill y2y saves.

I agree and have accepted this. The problem is they won’t even try to monetize it. They seem to have made the internal decision it would not work without any real data.

If this is truly your belief then you are completely ignorant to the problem.

They seem pretty happy with the "ignore game mode, see less people are playing it, say that it's not worth improving as people don't play it" style of research.

Then again, RttS was apparently their most popular game mode and they still saw fit to set it on fire last year in an attempt to make it more about DD and microtransactions, so I guess they don't really even care about how much people play modes either.
