re: MLB The Show '24 unveils 'Women Pave Their Way' mode

Put a female Dynasty Mode into the new NCAA football game.

If she takes one hit from any player, she gets injured and her career is over.

Odd thing to use resources on. I’ve been a huge fan of The Show Series but it’s honestly starting get stale. There’s so much they could and should be doing with the career mode and franchise mode.

I never imagined a day when I would not get The Show on release but I’ve skipped it 2 years in a row and this year will make 3. Not because of stupid shite like adding women, but because they continue to leave out certain features in Franchise mode that should have been added years ago. Add that to the fact that they have continued to focus on previous gen along with current gen which clearly has had an effect on their ability to maximize current gen systems. Very frustrating

Same but I bought the 3 of the last 4. I’m disappointed they’re too cheap to update the graphics. It’s stuck in 2016. Skipping this one till a sale.

And I can do a home run celebration where I hover 5 feet off the ground and fly into home plate like Superman

I get it because there is not many more ways you can go to increase year-to-year sales for a sports game

Plenty of ways to decrease them, though. Wasting resources on shite like this is a start.

There's an interesting video I saw on this (I'll try and find it) that explains that there are basically 3 "bursts" that tend to separate men and women physically (outside of the obvious).

The first is birth, which is very small.

The second is basically a "pre-puberty", which is where the two start to separate athletically but a lot of girls and can still compete with boys.

The last, puberty, is when the difference in athletics really shows.

Of course, to state the obvious, we're comparing athlete to athlete - no amount of testosterone in my body is going to get my arse across the finish line faster than a female sprinter. She will absolutely destroy me.

In the video, they did point out there is one particular type of athletic competition where women can hold their own against men for the most part - endurance running. The longer the run, the more the difference narrows.
