I hate being negative because that’s not who I am as a creator, but I need to rant for a second about the current state of MLB The Show I truthfully believe MLB The Show 26 has a chance to be one of the worst games in franchise history if things are not changed - No new online game modes - Same game modes without change for YEARS, ranked/events/BR are completely stale - Lack of quality rewards for online play, no true reason to get good at the game for top tier rewads - Best way to earn is constant mini seasons on ROOKIE, awesome for NMS/casual players, but shouldn’t be the best way to earn - “PCI Shrinkage taken out of the game when hitting”, not true at all - Josh Hader glitched for two years, no fix - Dread lag still an issue for YEARS - Bots have taken over ranked with no fix - Cheaters ruin gaming experience for online players of all levels, manipulating scores/cheating system plays the game for them - Perfect umpires online are indeed NOT perfect - P2P connection PUNISHES the person with better internet - Disconnects/people getting booted from games for no reason - Investing in cards completely nuked - UI/Menu Screens slower than ever - STILL can’t see ranked record of yourself or opponents - Servers feel rough every other day I’m sure I’ve missed some things, but these issues affect people on a daily basis playing this game I’m also not the one to play any RTTS or Franchise so I really can’t speak on the state of those game modes I think the content of this game has been solid, but when there are so many other glaring issues the game has, it doesn’t matter I truly want MLB The Show to be the best sports gaming franchise of them all, not just as a creator, but as a baseball fan and someone who genuinely enjoys playing the game I don’t know what it will take for MLB The Show to take the necessary steps to become better, but I hope that time is sooner rather than later

Imagine how bad you have to be at a video game to buy a software to cheat lol

🚨Attention Big Stiff’s🚨 I am running an MLB the Show tournament. Game 3 of the tournament is tonight at 10pm ET! I will be live around 7pm ET running some Ranked Seasons. The game tonight will be on the YeahStiff Twitch channel (link in bio). I hope to see you all tonight! As always I love you all ❤️ #mlbtheshow

Imagine making a complete list of everything wrong with this game lmao. Obviously there's countless MAJOR issues, but NOTHING works. Records literally don't show loading into games. If you click on a card, their buy now & sell now prices are flipped. If you click on your bullpen, it's completely blurred where you have to guess what player you're putting in. Game still shows live series attributes on some flashback cards lol. Investment caps. Dread lag still a thing. Batters stuck in quick sand getting out of the box. They can't fix SIMPLE issues and now they're dealing with the most problems they've ever had in one game. This year might be chalked lol. This company isn't capable of fixing all of these things in such a short amount of time.

Next time you fly creators out to play your game early, you should put them all in separate rooms & see how long it takes all of them to disconnect with each other before you put a product like this out ever again. You've truly outdone yourself, I can't imagine a more disastrous start to a year than dealing with this atrocity that you have sold 😭 Please understand that this game, in it's current state, is one of the worst video games I've ever seen. This offseason you've managed to fix nothing & ruin everything. Seems hard to do, right? The servers & gameplay on this game make MLB '25 look like fucking Elden Ring. Disconnections every other game, people getting d/c losses in their battle royale runs they spent hours on, people on Playstation barely even being able to play. All of it just absolutely disgusting lol. The fact that you still get losses in co-op when your opponent surrenders after 4 years is such a blatant slap in the face to everyone who spends a dollar on your game. At a certain point this shit should be illegal lmao. Step it up. You're not doing a good job @SonySanDiego @MLBTheShow - Your customers deserve better. Wouldn't you agree?

play where you want i guess but we gotta stop with "it's the only place that we can play" you just wanna score 10+ a game minimum that's fine but just say that lmao

I'm so fucking grateful for the start to the year that I've had content wise that I've done everything in my power not to be overly negative on streams, videos, and social media but I've honestly seen enough. This is the most pathetic start to a year I've seen since purchasing MLB The Show and that includes MLB 18. Every second somebody is being disconnected from games, records aren't working, the servers suck and the gameplay is some of the worst I've ever seen. The bloop hits are constant and atrocious which has made pitching an intolerable experience. Exit velocities are the most inconsistent they've ever been. They made no remarks about changing anything with the hitting engine yet it's felt like everything has gotten worse. Not only that, but fielding is almost unplayable. It doesn't matter if it's a diamond or gold fielder, they just hate to play baseball. Runners take 93 seconds to get out of the box. I've had fun playing because it's utter nonsense and pure chaos. It's impossible to take serious. The improvements I have seen are: 1. PCI blur is awesome 2. PCI sensitivity is awesome 3. Created stadiums load / save better than ever and they're actually playing well opposed to every other field. 4. Parallel mods are awesome. Unfortunately none of this is enough to mask the atrocity that is the gameplay :/ I hope @SonySanDiego & @MLBTheShow are seeing these things and are in the lab all week because there's simply a LOT of work to do.

@TalkinBaseball_ Atrocious

@MLBTheShow I’m new to this but I’m excited for this years game!!

How are those setups looking? 👀 Drop your setup and show the #MLBTheShow community how ready you are for 26! 🎮

@Nutzypoo_ttv Facts! If you’re using all switch hitters this year I know you are horrible.

Nah, we’re not doing that this year. Shrinkage is gone. Get good.
