That's how I feel about The Show right now: emptiness, no purpose, no connection, no purpose. Sigh.

With S4 dropping and having a ton of time on my hands today, I decided to go back into the game and take stock of where to begin playing again. But as I reviewed things, there was no draw, no emotion, no drive. I've lost it for good, I guess. I thought things would be different with the passing of time and the arrival of S4, but they aren't. It's plain that I don't care about the game anymore. I know it's on me, and I'm saddened. I'm still grateful to all the guys who expanded my world from Franchise to DD so long ago. You know who you are. I had many years of fun and enjoyment, thank you for that. I'm also thankful to many in the forum. You've enlightened me, given me cause to chuckle, inspired me, and given me hope and answers when I got stuck. There are a lot of great people here.

For those that still enjoy the game, have fun. For me, though, the game ends with a whimper. I'll probably hang here for a while to read what's going on, but I'll slowly fade into the background like the sun setting into the far ocean. The drive (maybe addiction?) has been plucked from my soul like a splinter drawn from between thin layers of skin. Will I be back next year? I doubt it.

Hi guys…I quit playing when season 1 ended. Thought about this game today and thought I’d see if seasons was in the last leg where you can use all cards again. Is it time or do I check back in December?

Hope all is well in the community. Thanks!

I wonder how many of us that quit playing will come back during the Forever period. I’m planning to play a bit, but nowhere near as much as I played in previous years, or during S1 for that matter.

@Blind_Bleeder_PSN How do you insert pics?

I started a discord server where I post the image (I'm the only one in the server). I then post the link to the image here using the Post Image icon.

Twins is Griffin Jax

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN said in I helped reveal #TheShowFinest24 in @mlbtheshow:

Twins = Griffin Jax

I posted the image of Jax’s card.

Griffin Jax

All of them. But, to be fair, I haven’t done any season two programs either.

I have both the PS5 and XBox X (and a switch, but that doesn’t matter here). With the right monitor (or TV) this game looks great on either. I think the performance on both is the same too. This may be because I’m older (63) and don’t have the quick reflexes of younger folks.

What makes the difference for me is the controller. There is a host of controllers to choose from on the XBox, and it feels better in my hand over the PS controller.

Go to a store and handle both controllers. See which feels better to you. Intuitiveness is in the eyes of the beholder, it's what you are used to that makes you more comfortable.

As a point of reference, I use a Power A wired controller and I have an LG C2 TV for my set up.

There are still Jonah packs available. I was very disappointed with the contents.

I picked Ozzie. If I end up playing this year, it’ll be a nice card to have.

There is no saving or anything. All you have to do is link your accounts. Make sure your Xbox is the primary account and your ps account is secondary.

The following post is for a Switch, but it applies to all account linking.

I stopped playing a day into season 2. I went to 22 and finished stuff up in there and then did a little bit in 21 before I stopped playing altogether. I fire up the game every day to get my daily doubles, but I’ve lost the umph to play the game.

That’s how I’m handling content drops.

@jake98833_PSN said in Game Sale:

I can't remember when the massive discount takes place. Is it after or right before the World Series? I have been playing with Game Pass but can no longer justify paying the price anymore.

Are you also on the PS4 or 5?

It's free for anyone with PS+

I also couldn't figure out how to link multiple accounts; perhaps I should look into it more.

This is specific for the Switch, but it applies universally for all consoles.

All these comments about S3 are not encouraging me to fire up 24 to play it again. I guess I'll just keep "enjoying" the game via proxy...that is reading what you chaps have to say about it.

Isn’t this what mini seasons is?

Not really because in mini seasons the teams picked were competitive.

The yetis (I never played them) were a bunch of mediocre, often slow players (think catchers) all played out of position. Even the bench was mostly 1B as they usually could not be subbed in by the CPU at other positions. They would make constant errors.

They were designed to help players grind at higher difficulty levels.

Here is an actual video just about the creation and history of the Yetis

The OP said he wanted to play user created teams in cpu games that weren’t Yetis…

I don't believe mini seasons are necessarily user created teams anymore either. Several times players have appeared in mini seasons CPU Team before they have been released to the player base which leads one to believe mini seasons teams are now created by SDS.

It wouldn't be the first time SDS lied to us.

@sbchamps17_NSW said in Pulse Pitching:

New to using pulse Pitching wanted to know if anyone else uses it and what pitchers to try and stay away from using with pulse Pitching. I'm trying something other than classic pitching because I've been getting hit around lately offline so figured I would try pulse since meter and pinpoint don't work for me

High control. I try to get pitchers in the 90s. High stamina because they can place their pitches better for more pitches. Watch the confidence rings for each pitch type and try to keep them even, the more confidence they have, the more accurate they are.

Did they fix pulse in 24 so the pitches aren’t all over the place? If it seems random in 24, go to 21, 22, or 23 and use it.

SA2 Brayan Bello and gold Elly, Merrill, and Cal LS.

I keep telling myself to play a game when I open MLBTS, but it just isn’t in me any more. I’ve lost the drive. I almost played a franchise game, but turned off my console instead.

You still playing mlb 22?

No. I moved on to 21 now. I haven’t played it much though. I want to get back into Extra Innings.
