    It’s so they have a selling point to get you to buy next years game

    Honestly most of us dont want it for DD. It would make our bull pens and bench almost worthless. We have too many cards we can use for that.

    I don’t understand this. Pitchers aren’t taking AB’s in MLB, the universal DH was introduced for a good reason, why is the game not following the same game being played in MLB?

    Because SDS gonna SDS

    If you play franchise with an American League team is there a DH?

    They built the game without it, they would have to scrap it and start from beginning or there would be horrible inbalances.
    even if they were willing to just throw away months of work, there is no boss in the world that would justify the expense of it.
    pretty sure it will be in next years game.

    I've played enough of the Show that I'm used to having to bat with the pitcher. But I just don't buy that it's some monumental task to implement a DH into the DD mode of the game.

    The programming is in the game already. They made universal Dh for rtts. So you’re not able to improve your pitchers hitting without making them a 2 way player.

    They're lazy. And it's odd because if they added DH to DD then everyone would need an extra starting hitter but also the same amount of pitchers so an extra card. Which you'd think would be good for business...

    It’s an update a 17 year old on Reddit could do. Maybe even a random guy on Fivr. It’s not some rebuild the game from the ground up, or even better delete all DD progression lol. And even if that was somehow the case, the Dev who coded that should be fired not the content team who comes up with original ideas instead of regurgitating moments on a weekly basis and creating 150,000 territories to “conquer” in conquest for the 11 guys who still find that fun.

    It’s a C grade patch for D grade Devs. Period. They should be able to code this for a single event like they do with quick counts or balks. Why don’t those delete everyone’s progress? Any option from the standard menus isn’t ground breaking stuff, if it made bad players better it would be in tomorrow.

    To not lessen the value of the cover athlete's card(s).

    They used the excuse of it being more strategic to have the pitchers hitting and couldn't admit that they simply didn't feel like changing it

    Nah, I'm just messing with you. I don't play franchise. Is there no dh in franchise with the nl?

    Why wouldn’t they? The DH has been around for a very long time and The Show didn’t put it in. I don’t get why people are fussing about this. Okay, so MLB has adopted the universal DH AFTER ‘22 was was coded. Why make a big deal about it? Let your pitchers hit for Pete’s sake. I think it’s awesome when a pitcher hits a sac fly, sac bunt or even a dinger. Cherish this part of the game for as long as possible and use this strategy to your advantage.

    Because they start making the game in june or july(maybe earlier than that)universal dh was just talk and rumors then.

    It’s actually more than a year out. There are millions of lines of code and thousands of code blocks. It drives me crazy that people think writing software, especially graphic laden games, is just a few keystrokes and it only takes a few minutes to change a feature. And then there’s the domino effect.

    I've been a software developer for over 20 years. I agree that its not a few key strokes to add. But to think it would take over a year is a bit of a stretch.
