Dear Anthem...
A letter from a simple player.. I know many have accepted that it will cease to function in January of next year, but I haven't. This was something I needed to write and resubmit in this category.. not just as a player, but as someone who feels deeply about to this world I feel like talking about Anthem, from my own experience with it, from what it makes me feel. From the most sincere part of myself Knowing that its servers will shut down on January 12, 2026, has undoubtedly created a kind of pain in my soul, a pain that is hard to process, hard to accept…... Not because it will end... But because of what this magnificent video game could have been I know that EA and BioWare see anthem as a game that didn’t meet the expectations that were set........ But for some of us.... Anthem was not just a game, it was art in its purest form.....It is sad to know that such a living world, so well crafted, so vast, will be permanently shut down… after so many experiences… this is truly heartbreaking. It hurts to know that it will disappear... not just because of its world, but because of the small details that made me feel like I was really there… I’ll miss the sound of the southern lapwings and the parrots that flew over Fort Tarsis, the feeling of walking through the markets, the sunset, the daylight,, the landscapes that truly looked like they were pulled out of a dream...... I know not many saw, or understood, the art in anthem, But some of us did. And when that world shuts down, a part of our own stories will fade with it. ...It’s very sad to accept that it will vanish as if it never existed... And you know....... Anthem...... Anthem, to me, is not just a game... To me, it’s a reflection of something deeper: a promise that once seemed enormous, with a beautiful world full of potential, but that ended up being rejected and forgotten by a large part of the gaming community... And that's where I feel that in this abandonment, something speaks to me personally... because sometimes, in life, you also feel like that: with big dreams, with a desire to shine, but for different reasons, they don’t come true or are left in the background…... .. That’s why losing Anthem hurts more than losing just a game to me — to me… and to many, it’s like losing a symbol, a part of hope and beauty that walked alongside me, and for that reason, I don’t want it to disappear in silence, because I know that for many like me, Anthem is... art, is emotion, is a living world that deserves a proper, heartfelt ending, dear Electronic Arts and BioWare. “You’re not truly gone when you leave — only when you’re forgotten” Thank you for reading, I hope you’re all doing well and having a good day – Astor Mendez (If my letter contains grammatical errors, I apologize; it was originally written in Basque, my English is irregular)
SMB4 Stats Missing
I have been playing Super Mega Baseball 4 for 5 seasons now and just now half way through the season my stats are gone. I have played about eight games today alone and when I just joined again the stats are gone. It still shows my win and loss but none of my players stats are there I went to load into another game and it said I was a random team (which you can't even switch teams in the middle of the season) and then the game crashed and when I joined back in all the stats were gone (just from season 5)

Batting issue - pitch frame speed
Product: Super Mega Baseball 4 Platform:Sony Playstation 4 Summarize your bug Franchise mode. Offline. Not every game, but so far it is about every other game. Happened at Stade Royale. When hitting, the pitcher and pitch frame speed is greatly reduced and choppy. But all other animation is normal. When user is pitching everything is smooth.

Home game at Stade Royale. Was facing Tom Glavine in one game, can’t remember the pitcher in the other game, not sure if that made any impact. Happened twice in 4 games. Tried closing the game out and going back in. Tried turning the PlayStation off and going back in the game. Nothing helped. What happens when the bug occurs? See above What do you expect to see?
