If you have left handed hitters, you can pretty much hit a check swing HR over the right field fence at Yankee stadium
Otherwise the minor league fields of Shield Woods or Capital Lange

It's probably accurate, I probably just missed the news about every outfielder in baseball winning the Gold Glove award last season.

It would be nice, since Wisconsin's single A team has some of the best alternative jerseys in miLB

I don't even have Gonzalez, because the Marlins moment is so wildly annoying to get to a lousy Jolt card. Guess I'm getting to 500 pxp with a single Beltre card

Man, you would've hated Rod Carew, he had about 3,000 of those

Feels like pitcher confidence is more of a factor. I didn't get a hit for 3 innings, then a bloop RBI single in the 4th, followed by back to back to back home runs. Last year, CPU pitchers would usually hang at least one pitch in the first couple AB, that would get things rolling. Also, CPU fielding is much better this year.

Same error in Conquest

Game froze a couple times just trying to manage my roster. Game in it's current form is cooked.

Rhys Hoskins from TA is really great & Nick Kurtz from Pipeline is also solid

My first (post tutorial) Diamond Quest experience (on Switch): I go through every square on the board to increase my odds, I get into the stadium game, the game becomes very very laggy, I lose, I get nothing from an hour of gameplay. Cool beans.

Idk if the game wasn't really to handle 15 active perks (as opposed to 3 in showdown) or what. Seems bad if you have to do the whole board to get good odds. The pitching challenges were a decent change of pace.

I do like the change this year that you can restart a moment at any time. You don't have to wait for the fly ball to be caught, and thrown to a play at the plate, while your player looks dejected and slowly walks back to the dugout, pondering their existence.

@PsylockeSmythe_XBL The Now & Laters were vouchers for regular MLB 25 The Show packs. So, they won't look different.
I opened all of the packs, because 42 packs is for sure totally the amount that I earned.

Probably one of the biggest things that annoys me that they need to fix, is how small of a window you have sometimes to pause the game & be able to pinch hit or pinch run. I get there's a pitch clock or whatever, but it's just dumb how fast that option can gray out.

Also, the outfield wall texture for Wrigley Field on the switch has looked terrible all year. Yuck. Let's not make that mistake again.

Anyone have any good common relief pitchers to use? Any good pitch mix to look out for

Get the Churino captain, and load up your team. He delivers offensive boosts to a lot of good cards, and when it comes to pitching boosting commons at Tier 3 that +20 to both K/9 and Pitching Clutch should be fantastic. That's my plan.

Can't use him. Doesn't have 100 power both sides.

You can use any hitters in mini seasons. They only restrict the pitchers.

Normally with showdowns you only have to get a couple runs against the "final boss".
Here, it's 6 runs. Idk, I have some trouble hitting lefty/lefty (no such trouble righty/righty) & you usually get at least a couple lefties in your lineup.
Sale wasn't too bad. His slider was really easy for me to track, but Skubal is a pain.

I didn't really like that the first showdown was score 7 runs. Let's maybe tighten it up a bit.
That said, showdowns should be probably be an optional thing, because we all have one pitcher we struggle against, and if they decide to make showdowns a requirement for most programs, that's gonna be an issue.
(btw, congrats if you hit 600 ft bombs on every pitcher who throws 103mph fastball, followed up with a 71mph off speed pitch)

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN It wasn't just the app. I bought a pack in-game & it didn't mention the pack being no sell either.
I mean, I figured there was a good chance it was a no sell, since the original was no sell, but just saying.

Had to choice of Luis Robert or Jim Rice & then David Wright or Sosa. Took Rice & Wright. I was already going to collect Wright for the Finest Collection, so the cards being no sell is NBD, and he's over 40k, so the price is fine, with a bonus card.

Usually when I'm relaxed & think winning isn't that important to me, I don't rage quit out of games.

Well I hope the decision was made due to hard data and not just internet complaints.

I wonder if they have data showing how many more attempts were made it at least the percentage of those who tried and failed.

I am happy for those who can now complete it but a little miffed that I spent some of my playing time over the weekend completing them all in their original form

I remember countless sessions, measuring hours of my time trying to get 10 TB on all star with Pujols so that I could earn a single Jim Edmonds card in moments extreme years ago.

Either it's "rewarding" to challenge yourself to do difficult things, and that's reward in itself. Or it "sucks" to waste hours of your time trying the same challenge over and over again, and you should get extra head pats for going through that.
You guys should probably make up your minds about which it is.

I'm fine that they made it easier. It's not like I got it done using skill, I just randomly got a hanging inside slider after like a hundred at bats.
