What should be the first thing I do in the game when The Show 21 drops?
-
A lot to digest for sure. But looking forward to playing everything in the game. Personally, I want to play full games....every inning...every pitch. No stimulated games for me. As for the music, I tend to disable that with all games just to take it out of the equation if I upload to YouTube.

Two questions:
-
Are you interested in a) a season-based mode where you are attempting to get to the postseason or b) do you want to build a team of god-like players?
-
Do you want to play against a) human controlled teams online or b) CPU controlled-teams offline?
a + a = leagues
a + b = franchise
b + a = ranked seasons
b + b = extra inningsThere is also a hidden answer 1a + 1a which is joining a league with your DD card players.
These are all based on TS20 and may slightly change for TS21.

Actually both are of interest to me.

If it's DD you're interested in, I'd look at all the offline stuff that has rewards, especially cards and knock those out. Prioritize cards you want first obviously, but don't neglect rewards you get another the way if it has a 'path'.
There will probably be a starter conquest, probably a starter showdown, and easy to complete collections that will jump start your team, start there. Then look at the programs (inning/player) and knock those out along with conquest. Once you are feeling froggy, hop into an event or two and maybe some ranked games. You have to get good and put in a lot of time for the best rewards and will be competing online with people who spend money on the game right away. Money helps at first but quickly becomes a non factor as time spend ends up being more valuable after a couple months (so many good free cards).
There will be a TON of free cards you can get via moments or other ways. Knock as many of those out as you can/want. You will have a solid team in no time.

Thanks for the helpful tips. Appreciate it. I forgot to ask before (new to The Show franchise), but does the game have anything like Legends Play? Can I create a team with the likes of Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Cy Young, etc....? And then play using said team, be it for online competition or offline play? Just curious.

In diamond dynasty (the fantasy team/ultimate team mode) you can do just that. I have every play you listed on my team for MLB The Show 20.
In other modes, not really, but sorta. You can use different rosters and such and play with those players, but I'm really unsure if you can play with them online. The play now stuff and franchise is current rosters to my knowledge, same with march to october. I FEEL like you can practice with them, but havent played other modes to see how/if you could play with them outside of tweaking rosters and playing offline vs the cpu. I'll defer to someone else who has more experience outside of DD and MTO, maybe they know more. But from the little I do know, it's limited or requires some finessing.
DD does let you play with them without restriction (outside of special events which sometimes restricts certain cards) in all it's modes as long as you have the card.

Just so you know all legends you asked about won't all be available day1.
Unless you play Franchise you can set up Draft that include legends. There is usually a gold version and or low tier diamond some players have both. CPU will draft them as well, and if you do watch your budget cuz they will cost a pretty penny

Thanks. A lot to learn with this game and definitely looking forward to it. Can't wait.

OR ... they might be available, but not necessarily in their final form.
Babe was available Day 1 this year, but as a young pitcher. (https://mlb20.theshow.com/items/1b3c1623c5c98ad8549b8f62670d1f52)
His super-mega card (https://mlb20.theshow.com/items/448a7e8a46946d59a16758d346844a06) wasn't released until August.

What I will be first doing is heading to rtts bc you can use them in dd now. I like to play rtts anyway so imma have a beast. Created players always seem to be the best early on.
