Nah….I don’t think SDS is playing favorites. I think it’s mostly connection issues that determine the quality of game.

OK, I didn't play last year (I got fed up with the money grabbing in '22). I thought this year went much better and with a couple of exceptions (like the mandatory showdowns in Halloweek and Milestone programs), I got a lot of enjoyment in '24. One problem I've had is the fact that certain cards are really only available to online players unless you want to pay big bucks for them. I hate that. All cards should be available to everyone, one way or another (and that doesn't include astronomical prices). The game is more fun when you can get all the cards without giving away your entire stubbs wallet. After the mandatory showdowns, my playing has been much less. Offline and online players should be equal. It was better this year than in '22, but still not enough.

Another (and lesser) problem was the prices on the stadiums. It's nice that the MLB stadiums aren't priced anymore, but the minor league stadiums shouldn't be 10,000 stubbs each. I hope that gets corrected in '25.

And I like the idea of Elly in the game, but most of all I want Barry Bonds in the legends.

I agree about the Action Figures being great and the OOP series being silly. Loved the Action Figures and managed to collect all but one or two that don't have astronomical prices. I did get Brandon Crawford early and sold one just before the price skyrocketed. As a Giants fan, I had to get Crawford and I did.

@IrishFist412_MLBTS Well, leave it at that … If you‘re not worth WS, then you should not reach it … It is never a good idea to lower the bar for mediocre players (like me)
But: SDS will decide and as far as I can interpretate the feedback from top players: Legend will stay and so will the power creep to get to the top

Another XBox user here. Game is out for me as well.

@TeakAUS_PSN said in Predictions for last of the Blizzard cards?:

How can a Mets fan not want a Leiter card each year?
We absolutely should get one each year.

And a Piazza.
And a Hernandez. And an Olerud.
And an Orosco and McDowell.
How about Gooden? Strawberry? Mookie Wilson? Edgardo Alfonzo?
Cleon Jones? Agee?

But yeah, Santana as an OoP was disgraceful.

I see many other Ps like u named mixed in every once in a while

I don't know if I want a "teambuilder" type website unless you had the option to create teams in game also. Teambuilder never worked for me even with a good internet connection

@MeatSceptre1776_XBL said in How to Save MLB The Show (In My Opinion):

@TeakAUS_PSN I agree with this but online is their money maker. They want you to play all modes.

I wonder how much money they actually make off of online people that play online only for the rewards.

I am very confident the number of extra games I would have won if I whaled for chase and rare round pack cards is less than 2 and almost certainly 0.

I'm now 52-3 after posting this about 2 weeks ago

I still care to win but have been using some random team builds instead of God squads and also using some non meta Pitchers

A few games have gotten tight but in enjoying it more without a god squad. I'm still very much trying to win but it's a little less serious without a god squad

I did a all lefty team, a corbin/Mussina boost, a Yankees boost

I may try a burnes/freeman team and was considering a 125 vision team but was having a hard time building that one. I prob won't play again until Monday but am liking the end of the cycle

@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL it does seem odd at times. Wouldn’t surprise me if there was some sort of mechanic to keep people engaged and on the game. Gaming is turning into manipulation nowadays more so than an organic experience.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL

It’s the one time I just quit. No reason to let up 20 runs on HOF in a few innings.

I tried it against at 1 am and somehow defeated it even though I was half asked 😂

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN
I haven’t tried that. Maybe it’ll work, since most of the pitchers are both-way players.

So if Foster or Donaldson pitch in a game, you'd move them for one of the other four to have a fresh arm.

It's not ideal because when you bring a starter out of the bullpen then they're out of stamina regardless of how few pitches. However, it's the closest thing I could think to do without using an actual bullpen. At the very least, give yourself Mariano Rivera, Lee Smith, and even Aroldis Chapman for a lefty just to have some type of bullpen lol.

Wow, the sell now price on McGreevy is now down to 5,032. That is quite the drop from 1,000,000

So true 😂

Definitely cold where I live with snow on the ground

It's to the point where they are making up excuses for things

There's also a Venezuelan Born MLB'ers thread that has most of the options.

2% odds of pulling a diamond is absolutely ridiculous. The 12.5% it’s currently at is much more palatable and should be the permanent odds moving forward to actually make packs worthwhile. I’ve felt for years that they play with the odds throughout the season. At launch the prevalence of diamonds seems much higher and then it drops off dramatically only to bounce back up later in the year. This has to be by design.
