I usually leave the commentary on for about a week or two to see what's been added, but then those guys usually go 'radio silent' for most my games. I think I'm in the minority on this, but I actually like the addition of Mark DeRosa. He's my favorite on mlb network too (sorry Matt). I just like the way he breaks things down using his brand of baseball lingo. I also think I like him because he's originally from New Jersey and talks very 'east coast' like me. I have no idea if DeRo is still in the game this year (perhaps I was too distracted during the streams trying to get my twitch drops to work and I missed it).

Well I just pulled my finger out and got another 9, all I need now is the make championship series in ranked seasons one. Somehow I don’t think I’m gonna get that one. Any tips? How many games would I need to win if I didn’t lose?

I’ve literally only started playing online games in the past week just for something different. Funny thing is I tried a ranked seasons game earlier today and subbed for Kershaw thinking the game was three innings. Oops.

That was long after my opponent’s pause timer ran out before a single pitch was thrown and I chose wait when the message said accept forfeit or wait. Oops again.

Clearly I’m not ready for the RS mode.

Klesko not being in a brave's uni is so depressing, maybe we will see Gant or Deion later lol

I just need it to come outttt, the anticipation each year is always so hard once it gets this close. I look forward to logging in and having something to work for, something to improve.

My favorite part of every new game is seeing what’s available to unlock through team affinity type programs. It’s fun seeing what all different flashbacks they decided to include

Ppl think it’s the same game every year. But us players that grind all year and play it from launch until close notice even the smallest minuet changes. I think this will be a good one.

I agree. Having access to the Topps vault really helps keep things fresh every year, and really helps the game stand out from 2k or madden.

There are tons of leagues out there that are going to make rules you can’t steal. You can’t throw in the dirt. They make ridiculous rules that favor their style of gameplay.

No throwing in the dirt is the funniest rule to me. It’s basically saying..

.”only throw me pitches I can swing freely at and hit because I have no pitch recognition and I can’t lay off anything.”

It’s a silly style of play that suggests it’s the pitchers job to let the runner hit the ball. No. It’s the hitters job to earn a strike. By working the count and swinging at good pitches.

You should be able to get all the LS cards by next friday. All of them are going for under 60000/70000 stubs. Try getting one of the big four (Trout/Arnaldo/Scherzer/Betts) daily and go from there.

@derfturf0530 said in Pitch Speeds:

Has SDS said anything about the pitch speeds this year? Do we think they'll be the same? Hopefully the same or even a little faster. I hope definitely not slower.

Pitch speeds differ depending on your opponent's internet. Fiber = slower, satellite in BFE, Wyoming = super fast.

I feel attacked.

Is there a limit to the double dailies or do they run the entire year?

It’s rare to see a runner on second advance to 3rd on a ROUTINE grounder To SS. This is a sim league and won’t tolerate the shenanigans that occurs in ranked games

@ag1982 said in Additional Questions About Custom Leagues:

Sorry if I missed any answers in the stream:

If I do an MLB Roster league, is there a way to get players on your team that aren't a team selected by anybody else in the league? Example: I have a 10 team league and nobody selects the Angels, does that mean there is zero way for anybody to get an Angels player?

Can the commissioner take out "energy" so players are full energy all the time?

If I did a 30 team league, can the commish set it like real MLB where there are divisions (that the commish can determine who is in what division) and those teams play each other more than they play everybody else?

If I make a 30 team league and 20 people sign up and I want to start, can I do that?

Can you set how hard the CPU will be if they replace a real person?

No, you only have access to rosters in your league Not in the options during the stream, unless they add it Again, you select x amount of teams and y amount of games, so no. GPs are not capped at 162 either That was not clear The CPU will play at league level options, so if you go AS/AS or HoF/AS, your cpu teams play at that level

Pretty much all the answers are in the stream; pay attention to the menu options, they show them all

HoF/AS is not a typical CPU difficulty. That is a difficulty for how easy it is to pitch/hit, not how well the CPU will pitch/hit.

It's the difficulty level you're going to be facing when playing the CPU, as if playing offline? Don't know where that is confusing.

@dap1234567890 said in " CUSTOM LEAGUES " category:

Next week, when the new game is available to play...
This forum will be moved to the "MLB The Show 19 Forum" page and...
This main TSN forum will become the "MLB the Show 20 Forum"!

That will be the point SDS will make the change if they do make the change. There is no point to make the change to this forum with one week left before it is moved and most new topics will be on the new MLB The Show 20 forum next week.

They already wiped the 19 forum and created this one. This is the forum for 20. I’m sure they could just add another category onto this forum if they wanted to.

@HonkyKong2115 said in Help with designing a logo for 20:

I own a vending company so I'm changing my name to CandyMan in the show 20. I wanting someone to design me a logo. Maybe like a person or monster holding some candy bars. Kinda silly but just looking for some ideas and who would be the best and trust worthy to help me ?

As much as it pains me, @KierannosaurusK did good work with logos in 17. Not sure if he got reimbursed for them though.

Can vouch for this. He’s an artist.

@IIJACKINTHBOXII said in Pre Order Upgrade troubles:

I just did basically the same thing. For whatever reason you can't just upgrade. You have to actually cancel your pre-order and then buy the upgraded version. I just went through the live chat and they cancelled my pre-order. The one thing I'd say though is to ask for the funds to be refunded to your PS wallet rather than to your bank account. I'm still waiting for the refund and they said it could take 1-2 billing periods (tbh, I'm not entirely sure what that means.)

Yeah I ended up getting through to support. I asked for it to be refunded to my wallet but I guess since I used my PayPal they had to refund it back to that which will still take 1-2 billing cycles. Oh well at least I got it figured out!

Me and 2 friends are interested in joining your lg will message you tomorrow

I've been getting those messages too, I just wonder how they got my PSN.

Not really worried about it though, they can't just "get" my information, my PSN is technically public knowledge I guess if they see it on this forum, but they can't access any other information.

HELLO!!! Your PSN is your TSN profile NAME. -___- ITS RIGHT THERE!

Still sort of creepy, man.

Just spreading the word fam, that's all. Nothing creepy bout that

Nothing against spreading the word about a league, but I can't see myself searching for PSNs of people I don't know and have never had an interaction with, adding them, and sending them an invite. There's got to be a better, more efficient, less sleuthy way to do it.

I'm not RANDOMLY looking up peoples PSNs. Just sending messages to guys who are looking for Leagues on here, that all

Maybe I misunderstood

@thinkbluedgr said in league invitations through the ps from people you don't know:

I've been getting some messages with invites to custom leagues for MLB20. I never got these types of messages back in MLB17 and before. You had to know someone or go through the "looking for Players" menu tab on the game itself.
I don't trust these messages. I'm afraid some of these might be just trying to get my information.
What do you guys think? Am I paranoid or are they legit people trying to form leagues?

LOL don't be scared, its just commissioners trying to do early recruiting via TSN, Reddit, OS, etc. I know because ppl like myself are starting up LGs and have been sending LG invites to random people via PS4 as well.

If people post that they're looking for leagues, I get it. If people aren't making those posts and are still getting invites, I don't get it.

@eatyum said in Early access Standard Edition:

No early access on standard.

Can I upgrade?

Yes, from what I understand, you have to call playstation support, cancel your existing pre-order and then buy the one you want. I wanted to upgrade my MVP to Digital Deluxe, but I wish they made it easier to do.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. I would have been furious to miss early access simply because I ordered the wrong one.

@GradektheBard said in For next year:

I’d love to be able to link in a music streaming service to play during the games (similar to how you can upload music now, but with amazon or what not).

In game? I assume you mean thru the Show and not the PS4?

I think that would be a bad idea. They have issues with the servers as it us now. Add in more bandwidth and it's asking for trouble.

Heck, as I type this I'm also flipping sone cards on the PS4 and it's taken me almost 5 minutes to lust two cards because the connection keeps lagging. (And it's not on my end. 250mbps direct connected and nothing else in the house, using the internet)

there are packs for preorder and more depending upon version
there is one new stadium this year-the new Rangers ballpark.
