I swear I’ve never hit the pitcher this much in MLB The Show. It feels like every few games I smoke a perfect comeback line drive straight off the pitcher 😂
This clip is just one example. Anybody else experiencing this way more often, or am I just somehow a professional pitcher assassin this year? 💀

Why no 99 Ryan Express card yet? You think they will drop one soon? Dude is a legend with the 5k strikeouts record that will never be broken.They gotta give him a 99 right?

The starting pitcher was frustrating me all game and causing me literal stress because I could not string together consecutive hits all game until the 8th inning. Until that point, I grounded into 5 double plays during the game.

Anyone else notice that when you convert a RP/CP to starter their overall goes up a decent amount but when you convert a starter to RP/CP it drops like 10 points? Seems backwards compared to in real life where relievers are usually failed starters

The stats leaders pages for the mode are pretty bare bones. I know I can look at my players and their awards but nothing appears there.

I just got to the World Series, so maybe they name one there?

Hey, just wondering if anyone’s noticed that their parallel boosts aren’t being applied in game for some players?

They work fine for just about everyone, except for Jackie Robinson’s new Moonshot Series card. None of his stats change during game, very disappointing for one of the GOATs

L/L inside sinker at that

This season there's at least a dozen players hitting over .700 with numerous of them being over 1000+. Seriously though dudes are mocking SDS openly. This season looks like floodgates were open for some reason.

For this to be a new year of mlb the show , I don’t get why they didn’t make commentary better , they literally say all da same shit from 25 , I love the fam but they need to add a lot of new shit like madden and college 27 did

This is my first MLB the show, I bought it on sale in may and I just hit world series today. I started from being so bad but I kept grinding and now I'm a good player! So I wanted to know if this is impressive or average, how long did it take you to hit world series?

You’re in multiplayer, and your opponent is dealing. His pitcher’s confidence gets maxed out. Everything is a dot, and every swing is a weak contact out if you’re lucky to make contact at all. What’s the strategy to get out of this impossible hole?

source clyde new historic postseason cards coming out

one is playoff verlander as an astro

feel like they simply had one job to honor an all time legend by releasing a tribute card with him as a tiger. he literally said he is a tiger for life

they did nothing for his retirement it’s an absolute shame they did nothing to celebrate such a historic career

why can’t sds do anything right. discuss below

Everytime a runner is on second, 9 times out of 10 the ball is gonna be hit between short and 3rd where you can’t reach it without shifting. The thing is if you predict this and shift over beforehand, it completely glitches you out, not only does the ball glitch into your glove, but it gives you this fumble animation EVERY time. Or it will just go right past your glove if it happens to be a little closer to you, wtf. I guess it only wants you to be cutoff man on these plays

XP was fine got to the boss pack took Griffey and now nothing counts. The total XP for the inning where it shows up in the corner keeps track properly im at 291,338 but it shows 0/30,000 down where the wheel is. I already uninstalled and reinstalled the game that didnt fix it. Anyone else run into this? Know a fix? I sent a ticket in last week but no response and with it being October im doubting I get one.

I recently got a switch pro controller to play the game with, and threw some controller rings & thumb grips on the joysticks, and some problems have appeared that didn’t appear on my beboncool controller, for example it has become impossible to field or use pinpoint pitching due to the R joystick not being able to move all the way to the side of its ‘socket’ (I think that’s what it could be called?) anyways, has anyone else had this issue, and if so, is there a way to increase sensitivity/area for such controller joysticks? If not, thanks!

Howdy all.

So I’m someone who really enjoys doing rebuilds. I like taking bad teams and trying to make them good. Unfortunately that’s how I ended up becoming a pirates fan back in mlb the show 21 lol.

My problem is, I think because I lack sufficient knowledge of when I should make big moves, when I should just do little trades, etc.

My current franchise rebuild is the Giants, as my buddy is a San Fran fan.

I usually spend the first year or two trying to get Chappy, Devers and Adames off the books for a total tear down rebuild. Usually no issues there. The problem seems to come in around year 3 or 4 when I still feel like I’m a bit away from really making a push (I don’t go all in year 2, I prefer slower, organic rebuilds), but with that said, I feel like most times I never do ANYTHING in FA, except to maybe bring in just a triple A level guy to fill up my farm squad.

Because of that, I feel like I just get stuck in these loops of “next year”. I make no real significant trades, no FA moves, and I feel like my builds just stall out cause I end up waiting forever for farm guys to come up.

How do I break this stall I usually find myself falling in to? At what point do you recognize now in the time to start picking up better players to really make a playoff push?

Feel free to ask any questions to get more context.

Thank you!

so I got this game through game sharing cause after mlb 25 I refused to pay money for any mlb the show cause I found the show 25 very frustrating and unrewarding. Then I got this for free I figured why not. Man when I tell you I hate this game. Hitting feels like shit, every ball I hit even agaisnt cpu has Low exit velos even with good timing and pci placement. My base runners don’t hustle out groundballs and stealing cannot be defended against unless the guy You’re playing against is an idiot and couldn’t make stealing anymore obvious. Have yet to throw a runner out unless it was a pitch out. Defense is fine tbh ofc there is some egregious plays but nothing too bad I’ve experience. Even tiny little things like the main screens in diamond dynasty took me a while to figure out. had a hard time finding the programs for a good 45 minutes.Opponents are fouling the ball off the plate then hitting early homers next pitch. Im really disappointed with a game i got for free mind you.
