If they had a camera on 12 y.o. Little Knight....they would have seen me crying too.

The fact of the matter is while Wise hits 2 homers on pitches in his cold zones, I am not getting that result for my team. Now factor in Wise is 35 years old with 40 for contact and 47 for power and add in cold zones and add in I don't get that in my cold zones.

In addition, it's not just Wise whacking them in cold zones, but no players on my team are getting homers off pitches in the cold zone, yet Wise gets 2 in one game, the powerful 35-year-old Wise with 40 contact and 47 power.

So I have followed this forum for years (on occasion), but finally have decided to take the time to sign up. Been playing since the Ortiz game in 06.

Heres my rant about this years game:

1. The glitch/stutter while your not in a game. It literally glitches like every 5 seconds and freezes the music and the screen. Is this my disk or the game? Its honestly ruining it.

2. Why in Franchise mode do players get poorly so quickly? Mariano goes from a 97 to a 78 in like 1 month of the 2013 season? WTF. This is honestly ridiculous. RA Dickey becomes a 75 after being a 95?!?! This is severely drastic, did I not do a new feature like train them or something?

I did 3 drafts so far, my team was 1st, 4th, and 3rd. After a month every single one was either 27, 29, 30th overall. I didnt just draft old people, it was a sold mix of youth and veterans.

3. The pictures coming and going on the player cards.

4. Side ways cards to read attributes? Not happy with that.


This is the worst Show I have ever played (in the little time I have played it), maybe I am doing something wrong that is new? But this is a HUGE, and I mean HUGEEEE letdown to the Show franchise. Im about to pop 2012 back in, that was a game.

So the issue is because it happened TO you, and not FOR you? If you were able to turn around and do it, that's even more unrealistic isn't it?

Also, has it happened again, outside of the Wise Event? Guys hit homeruns off of bad pitches/good pitchers from time to time, that's just baseball. Also, just because you turn 35 doesn't immediately take away your ability to hit a homerun.

Spoiler

I'm to take this opportunity to blame number ratings again, lol.

I don't mean to sound patronizing (at all), but these types of "statistical anomalies" happens all the time. Maybe it was a 1-in-10,000 event (or whatever probability you want to assign). Keep in mind that the other 10,000 of people playing this game on MLB The Show did NOT have that happen and perhaps Wise went 0 for 2 for most people. But because it happened to you, you view it as "unrealistic". 1 in 100, 1,000 10,000 or 100,000 events DO happen. They obviously-by definition-happen rarely, but they happen. You can say it was an "unlikely" event, but not "unrealistic"... until it begins to happen on a more frequent basis than it should. There is a saying in baseball that every time you watch a baseball game you will see some unique event that you have never seen before no matter how many games you watch. It doesn't mean that event was unrealistic. I enjoy the strange occurrences that happen in the games (frustrating as they can be when happen to you).

[Knight165]

I'm sorry....anything can happen in baseball.

-1969 W.S....Dave McNally hits a homerun in 2 games. Frank Robinson was only able to equal that total in 5 games.
-1986...do I really need to talk about 1986?!

Crazy things happen!...and they often make someone mad!

Mission accomplished!

Welcome to the forums. Glad you signed up.

I know you've got some issues here and I won't minimize them.

I can't speak to your franchise problems because I haven't played that yet.

But, I can tell you my game has zero freeze and zero stutter. I may experience it later but haven't so far. I have digital download.

But, there are plenty folks reporting no stuttering who have the disk. And, like you, plenty do have stuttering. Hopefully, as a forum community, we'll figure out why some get it and some don't.

I don't much like the sideways player cards either.

The actual game play though is top notch, don't you think?

For the guy complaining about Strasburg playing for Toronto in 2014: Last year did you complain about Miami trading away Jose Reyes or Mark Buehrle?
