@NotesOfJohn_PSN I had success with a previous three hit moment by just using contact swing, not normal or power.

Seems like an easy decision between the two. I’m leaning towards Griffey. If you picked Campanella, tell me how it worked out for you. Thanks.

Not as stunned as I was when I bought three Spotlight packs for 25,000 stubs apiece and they all had the same player.

Just wondering if you get any XP for casual multiplayer games. I am not an online player for the ranked games, but I think I might enjoy just doing a casual game. Thanks.

Seems to me that when I last played in 2024, they didn’t put the first actual postseason programs up until a couple of days after the games and series finished. This year they put it up the very next day. That’s probably what the reason is for that. In any event, I think they did a great job in getting those overnight games into a series right away. They probably had a bunch of people working overnight to do it. That’s real dedication.

You must’ve had a bunch of guys up all night for that. Congratulations to everybody. Great work.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL I did not play MLB The Show 25, so I don’t know about Robert Flores, but I do know Doug & Singy were here in ‘24. And Renel Brooks-Moon was, until the year before, the P.A. announcer for the San Francisco Giants and she’s great in the game now. But I wish we could set the announcers once we want to use one game if we wanted to.

Am I right that you can’t indicate which announcers you want permanently in the settings? If not, I really think that would be a great idea.

Try contact swing. Might help.

I did that and that’s how I got past it. I was surprised that was the solution but it worked. So if anyone’s having a problem, just try contact swing. And, of course, work the count and don’t take your eyes off the ball when it’s pitched.

@victoryphoenix_MLBTS I was thinking of putting cards in for each team, whether it be one announcers or two. And I wasn’t thinking of using an extensive amount of speaking because,of course, that would be very expensive. But the cards are just involved pictures basically. They could decide to use one trademark saying, but I’d be fine if they just had the pictures.

Tx. That was the first time I’ve ever bought three packs like that and had the same card in each one.

Is there a strategy for doing this? I’ve tried to keep the PCI down a little bit below the center, so I can get the uplift on the ball to hit a home run. But I know that’s probably not a good idea with this one where you’re just trying to get hits. Any thoughts anyone?

So I bought three September spotlight packs. They all had the same player – Yohandy Morales. Anybody else have something like this this happen to them?

@jcassaro44_PSN Isn't this Mantle in a collection??

The subheds here in this forum still refer to MLB The Show 25??

Why???? I think this is a joke.

I've used his Moonshot card in offline games and he's done well enough to get upgrades.

My thoughts were to have a card for every team’s best announcers. And, of course Vin would be included.

I’m a big fan of Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper, the SF Giants announcers. Krukow is retiring at the end of the season for health reasons. I was thinking about a way to honor them and other great baseball announcers and I thought of a way they could be used in MLB The Show. Make cards for each team with the one or two announcers who have loomed large in each city’s history and give them the captain role for each team. As to the sound, use a single soundbite for each card. Of course, having full commentary for each announcer(s) would be great but I recognize it’s impossible. A single soundbite would be more doable.

Any thoughts?
