I'm looking in settings and don't see it. It appears to me pitcher confidence is overriding loss of stamina and allowing pitchers to continue to pitch deeper into games.

I don’t think you realize how many 5’7 top 100 prospects this game generates

With only 7 draft picks a year the game does a poor job of generating enough good prospects to populate the game with a sustainable franchise long term.

IRL the players' height declined due to ABS. The measured them with shoes and ballcaps off.

We'll see if this gets fixed.

Pitcher with 23 stamina threw 115 pitchers and 8 shutout innings. No attribute decline for stamina at zero.

Their feedback suggested being too easy was an issue for a significant amount of those questioned in that survey couple years back. Give it time, you'll get used to it soon enough and it will be too easy once again.

Perhaps but with only 3 scouts I never was able to draft more than 3 or 4 scouted players. Why make it worse?

You can get an instant trade if you control all 30 teams and switch over to the team you're offering the trade to. Once you do, just push accept.

Not the same as it was.

I wouldn't mind it if there was a counter offer or some communication but this is strange.

Now if you scout pitchers for a region instead of 15% you get 10%. Why would they do this to customers who pay $75 to purchase their franchise? Of what benefit is it to give the CPU teams an advantage over franchise owners?

This is the best version of the game in franchise. Gameplay is better but I don't understand the "fog of war". It's as if someone talked them into sabotaging their own game.

I play every game during the regular season unless and until I'm eliminated from the playoffs.

We're on Xbox.

This will be a good test since you're on PS5: Go to your roster (it doesn't matter which). Scroll down the list very fast. Then, before the player model can show, start scrolling again or hit the player card button.

Something like this? I have seen no crashes in menus or games.

What platform? I haven't seen it on PS5.

I've been playing this game in manage mode for a very long time. This is the best gameplay I've seen.

The fog of war stuff I don't see a need for but the gameplay is fantastic. Congratulations to the developers.

It adds another layer of depth and is challenging rather than making things too easy.
But I do agree there should have be an opt out/in for those who desire an easier experience.

I've played thousands of games for many years in manage mode and I've never won the world series. No need for fog of war to make it more difficult. I'm sure the CPU knows exactly what the attributes are for every player. I just want a level playing field.

Millions of people play this game, not just you, or me.

I could understand if it was online but what do they accomplish in offline franchise by doing this?

A couple bugs and I will submit bug reports.

You might try perfect strike zone. I think that's probably ABS on every pitch. No need to appeal.

Nothing wrong with playing with perfect k zone but for realism, nothing wrong with personalized and ABS on.

Perfect strike zone is realism. The fact that MLB refused to implement it 100% doesn't change the fact that the technology exists.

Thankfully it is gone.

What do you think?

@LongStingray363_XBL said:

Yes I've done some testing... specifically the pitchers arbitration prices are WAY higher than in real life, which leads to higher than in real life contract extension prices (for the non free agent contract offers). This is causing all CPU teams to not have enough money to sign 80 overall players in FA (starting in 2030 in the test that I did).

Is there somewhere that we can report this issue as to bring it to the attention of The Show 26 development team?

Yes. Top of the screen click on support. Click on MLBTS 26. Click on bug report.
