I got her Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as well. That’s more for the family, though.
I finally tapped out after entering/changing email addresses and passwords repeatedly for about an hour this morning to no avail and told the kids they would have to figure it out.I think they’re still crying. I’m never going near the damn thing ever again.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -
MLB The Show 21 quick thoughts after several hours of play on both Series X and Xbox One ...* Next gen graphics: Look about the same as current gen, but chrome and shiny. I think current gen looks great* Menus are much better. Should really help new players. Old menus were a mess, to put it politely.* Game modes for diamond dynasty look the same* New "parallel XP" which lets each player card earn individual xp for stat bonuses ... very RPG like, which is nice. Last year you could upgrade Legend cards but only if you played over 500 online games. Parallel XP appears to work for all cards and can be earned in Conquest mode (that's all i've played) by getting hits, strikeouts, etc.* Played on my Series X and then fired up my Xbox One and everything just worked. Team and stubs transferred seamlessly. Nice option to have.* oh yeah, extra innings rules are in effect. not sure if there is an option to disable* still not sure why other presentation modes are still locked in conquest mode* i don't think the xbox has an option to import music soundtracks ... really hope that option gets patchedmay get into Franchise in a while. DD usually consumes me ... especially with the group of butthole players I have on my roster that need upgrading ASAP.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

I only play Diamond Dynasty and man, I wish your team’s settings (uniforms, etc) as well as gameplay settings just carried over from year-to-year. It takes me an hour to set this game up every year lol2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

Am I the only dipshit that likes The Show because they just play career mode and pretends to be a GM and plays the occasional game here and there?0

Also noticed there appears to be a way to transfer crossplay via a code on The Show 21 ... so it appears you can transfer from PS to xbox although I can't confirm. For online play, it is crossplay so xbox and PS owners can play each other. Should help the online user pool

Definitely read that you can play cross-platform which has to be the most groundbreaking part of all of this.0

Just grabbed The Show yesterday. I’ve played it on PS before, but finally own it because they have it on Xbox now. Can’t wait to dig into it this week!I LOVE MUSIC.

I haven't had more than a few minutes for games the last two days so all I've done in The Show was fiddle with the different batting and pitching mechanics. Looks like a lot of work ahead0

Try the stadium creator. Its pretty awesome, but you will spend hours. My son who is 14 and I build one over the weekend and took about 4 hours. You can do it quicker. Just depends on how much detail you want to add.0

It's on my to-do list but after I learn to play the game. Not the first good things I've heard about it!0

Well it has been almost impossible to play The Show in the evenings because the servers can't keep up ... which also impacts single player. No bueno.The birds ... why add the birds??? They are the most unrealistic aspect of a super realistic game. Any stadium in real life that had that many birds acting like a pack of seals is making a kill on a school of fish just past the outfield wall ... they would have an army of plastic owls to ward them off or all the patrons would need to bring umbrellas to avoid getting pooped on. Also very distracting because the birds reset to the same starting animation position after every pitch.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

I'm too busy trying to figure out how to hit and baserun...0 -
There were always server issues back in the PS3 days. Not so much since it's been on PS4. Maybe the addition to cross-platform play with the Xbox crew is causing issues? I don't know. I won't even try an online game at this point, but as someone has pointed out, even single-player modes like Moments, Showdown, and Conquest are tied to the servers. And those crashing is a new thing. Even when The Show's servers were at it's worst, it was just connection issues with your opponent. A single-player mode, even one tied to Diamond Dynasty, would never crash.
The worst game ever was either the last or second-to-last one on PS3. CONSTANT hard-freezes. I actually took that one back and traded it in for store credit.2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.
