Is theshow.com down for anyone else? I can access here on the app but on PC it's timing out.

@Saberq269_MLBTS said in Spring Breakout Collection:

Not that hard honestly.Final showdown is very easy 3 runs and you have 25 outs

Yeah, no biggie. I was simply stating that it could have been thought out better.

Actually, I think I got slaughtered by the zone sweeper this round. Nm, disregard. I will play it again to verify. Lol

Love it but did they just drop the percentages? Am I tripping?

I have played through 5-6 times and I normally win all or miss 1-2 of the preliminary challenges and my AS percentages are typically 85+/65+. This run I lost 1 and my percentages are 55/36.

Kind of a silly decision. Bummer.

Am I missing something or do I have to play the showdown 3-4 times to complete the collection? That is the only place I see the pack.

"Standard Edition: Priced around $69.99 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and $59.99 for PS4 and Xbox One."

Bummer.

@sbchamps17_NSW You are not an intelligent person.

@jaychvz_XBL Agreed. I loved the concept of both and I loved that they were thinking outside the box.

@sbchamps17_NSW When did I mention h2h with friends? Also, my question is... Did you actually read the post or immediately jump to conclusions so there was something for you to complain about? People like you don't add anything to constructive conversations.

Alright, let’s cut to the chase. If MLB The Show 25 wants to bring back players like me, it’s time to focus on the future and stop catering to the past. That means next-gen only.

Co-Op Everything
Co-op should be the foundation of this game. Let us:

• Grind Ranked Seasons with friends.
• Draft and play Battle Royale together.
• Compete in Events as a team.
• Dive into Offline Co-Op:
  • Conquest with a buddy.
  • Mini-Seasons as a squad.
  • Other modes where we can grind rewards and XP together.

Let us earn Parallel XP in co-op, rank up cards, and grind rewards with friends. Baseball is a team sport—let us enjoy it that way.

Next-Gen Only
It’s time to move on from PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.

• The older hardware holds the game back.
• We want a true next-gen MLB The Show with better graphics, improved gameplay mechanics, and enhanced features.
• If Switch players need a version, give them a dumbed-down standalone game. But don’t compromise the main game for outdated tech.

This franchise should showcase the full power of modern consoles.

A Beta Is Essential
We need a beta for MLB The Show 25. No more radio silence, no more dropping the game with zero trailers and zero information like 24. A beta would:

• Prove that San Diego Studio is listening.
• Let us see the changes and improvements before committing our money.
• Show the community they care about making a better game, not just rehashing the same formula.

Fresh Card Art and Innovative Ideas
Let’s talk about the card art and player concepts. I’ll start by saying the card art in MLB The Show 24 was phenomenal. The designs were sleek, creative, and a step in the right direction. Let’s keep that going—but we need to move beyond the tired, old Topps Now cards. Unless they’re for live series, it’s time to retire them.

What I want is unique, innovative cards. Think outside the box:

• I didn’t personally like the out-of-position players, but I loved the fact that it was different. It was something we hadn’t seen before. More of that!
• Make cards for everything—hypothetical matchups, special moments in history, or even alternate reality cards. Get creative!
• Introduce cards with fun, fresh themes that reflect a unique story, achievement, or even what-if scenarios.

The point is, keep things fresh and exciting. The same old formulas for card releases are getting stale. Every card should feel like something we want to earn, not just another filler.

Why I’m Still Hesitant
The removal of sets and seasons is a huge step in the right direction—it’s honestly exciting. But let’s be real, that alone isn’t enough. I’ve bought every Show since 2014, and I’m seriously considering skipping 25 unless:

• We get new modes that aren’t stale.
• Card art, unique player versions, and innovative ideas (like out-of-position players) keep things interesting.
• More Legends and creative concepts keep us engaged.

Make It Fun Again
MLB The Show 25 has so much potential, but it’s time to focus on the players. Let us grind, compete, and enjoy the game with our friends, on modern consoles, with transparency about what we’re buying.

What do you all think? I’d love to hear everyone’s opinion on this.

@ChunkyyLover77_MLBTS This isn't true. I have none of the big boys locked in and I have Ohtani

I thought they figured this out? Lmao, creepy as hell.

After years of loyalty and countless hours invested in MLB The Show, it’s with great disappointment that I’ve decided to move on from the franchise. The lack of meaningful communication from San Diego Studios, the disregard for player feedback, and the shift towards aggressive monetization have made the game unrecognizable from what it once was. Despite the community’s passion and dedication, SDS has failed to address our concerns, leaving us frustrated and unheard.

While I may still play All-Star Weekend content and occasionally log in to give the game log watchers something to post about, the passion is gone. It’s time to bid farewell to a game that was once a beloved staple. Thank you for the memories, MLB The Show.

If the whole year was like this, I would still be playing. I can't force it anymore.

We will release it on Friday with the rest of the content. Unfortunately, it will need to be in BR.

It takes 4-5 games depending on how tired they are and they have to be in your rotation or they don't regenerate.

Cannon fires near CGSO will not open. It says "Setting up Moment. Please Wait." for like a minute and then says challenge failed. Did all the others quickly without issue.

Is anyone else having an issue with this moment?

Josh Hamilton! New Legend incoming!

You can essentially use whatever one you want by switching at any time in the exchange menu. I do wish we got at least 2 to start.
