Here's the problem SDS has...

Player 1 says "Every game that I play on hall of fame is 1-0! Its just steals and sac flys in extra innings! What a miserable slog! This game sucks!"

But, here comes Player 2 - he knows how to hit and doesnt get stuck playing 1-0 games. He says "I dont want to play CPU for 40 games! Thats boring! This game sucks!".

Im not sure they can win. The people who cant chop the wood complain about the wood. The people who can chop dont wanna chop the wood.

End Result: Ain't nobody out there anymore Ballin' Like It's a Habit.

Yep. But then you have the guys like me who are in the middle. HOF and Legend offline are enough of a challenge to enjoy it but not so much that I’m sweating it. Program is perfect for me (minus the PXP thing).

@Bridge-Piece_XBL
I understand and agree with you on all but one thing: your “one small nitpick” about stats and PXP not counting is a dealbreaker for most players interested in this program.

Yeah that’s fair. Trust me, I’d love for the PXP to count - particularly for my pitchers who are not P5. But for me it’s more like “eh that stinks, but whatever” instead of a dealbreaker.

Call me a bootlicker all you want, but this might be the single greatest program MLB The Show has ever done.

I love that casual players can still earn the cards, while those who want the challenge can take on Extreme and earn both variants. I’m not even someone who cares about variants, but I’ve always loved the Extreme program and the challenge that comes with it.

What I really love about this format is that it takes away some of the unnecessary stress. In past Extreme programs, you could spend a ton of time on a Conquest or Showdown, lose one game, and have to start all over again. Don’t get me wrong, that was part of the challenge, but it could also be incredibly frustrating. You really had to sweat every moment because one mistake could waste hours of progress.

With this format, you can just chill, play the game, and enjoy the challenge without worrying about losing all your progress. I don’t know, I’m having an absolute blast with it, and I’d love to see this become the standard format for Extreme going forward.

My one small nitpick would be that it’d be nice to earn PXP along the way, but most of my God Squad is already P5 anyway (well, my hitters at least), so it’s really not that big of a deal.

I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think they absolutely nailed this one. Huge W for the content team. @sds_joek_psn

Haven’t been able to check it out yet. If you lose can you redo the game?

• Dennis Eckersley gets a 99 Boston card (1 season and a 4.75 ERA)

Sir, Eck was on Boston for many years.

Let's relax, there's a chance they'll adjust it so PXP counts. They tend to act quickly on things like this (like the Beltran voucher last week).

@Pergo_MLBTS said:

Of course most people are already complaining that this is too much and "predatory". This is why we never get fun grinds anymore and are left with the watered down programs we got this year. Every time anyone is asked to actually play the game to earn rewards its now "predatory".

YUP.

Be prepared for lots of complaints about Moments.

30 moments is a LOT of time to be getting no pxp and stats. Especially if these are longer moments. I would personally rather spend 7 hours doing a USA conquest vs maxed theme teams vs 3 hours of moments.

However, this is not the usual copy/paste content and I am all for that and think I will enjoy this. I'm moderately excited.

Wait is there no long conquest? That's my favorite part

@Dolenz_PSN said:

Complaints on X so far are mainly about the picture. People thinking that they have him batting right handing or that they used AI to generate the image. Funny Stuff

It's a pretty bad picture, but he's not batting right-handed. Look at his hands.
If it's a real picture, it was probably when he was warming up or something.

telling someone they're 14 years old

“Assuming” and it’s not hard to tell age by the way people act on the forums. For instance, I’m fairly sure you and Lioned are actually the same person on a different account. And the fact that you keep swearing, attacking an SDS employee, and writing in the way that you do, I would be beyond shocked if you were an adult. Grown ups don’t act that way.

@MoeBuug68_XBL said:
And you have the right to tell the OP to follow the rules or else he's getting banned?

I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $200.

@Dolenz_PSN said:

Okay, I will admit that these extreme cosmetic versions, at least in still images do not look like anything special. A blue Background and a little extra bling on the Red Diamond.

But at least we are getting some legends. And Texas gets another card!

That just leaves Aaron and Gehrig tomorrow if the leak was right.

Ugh, I was trying to avoid seeing any leaks. That's unfortunate. Gives me something to get excited about when they post.

@LIONED-33_XBL said:

@Bridge-Piece_XBL not really. The logos and names continue to be there just like the cheaters. Yet if I tell you what I think of your comment. What I really think they will ban me for 7 days. Or if I put a players name that has on of the idiotic logos name here in the forum I run the risk of getting banned. That logo still exists. Cheating still exists so it’s not really that rediculous. Keep trying maybe you’ll get a forum badge for being a positive poster

I assume you're like 14, so I'll let you grow up a bit without telling you where you're wrong.

I’d much rather play MLB than GTA

Idk if I’m even going to buy GTA

Yeah, I am not. I play MLBTS 85% of my gaming time, with some FPS and Nintendo games mixed in.

I'm almost positive they're done with L&F collections for the year.

@Texas10pt_MLBTS said:

Back when I last played in 23, MLB was running on 60hz because of PS4. They turned on 120hz one weekend and you could turn on AS and HOF pretty easy and then on Monday it was different. It was said that XBox X was always on 120hz so cross play was a disadvantage. Does anyone know now that PS4 is gone is the PS5 running 120hz?

I believe PS5 runs 120Hz with the right cables and settings. My Xbox does.

@LIONED-33_XBL said:

Isn’t funny you can get in more trouble calling racist losers out than they actually will get in game lol. What a world SDS has created

This is complaining just to complain. What a ridiculous remark.

@Player99_MLBTS said:

@Bridge-Piece_XBL EXCUSE ME SIR? YOU ACTUALLY LIKE THIS GAME? YOU MUST BE A SLOP ENJOYER. GET BETTER!

I’ve been called much worse for enjoying the game

@yanksthebest_PSN said:

@Bridge-Piece_XBL

I would be ok if they took next year off and I love baseball and play this game 80% of my gaming.

Which means it's not all that bad. Regardless of liking baseball, if you truly hate the game... you'd keep playing it?

I love Harry Potter, waited years for Hogwarts Legacy to come out... then never even finished it because well, I didn't like it.

@yanksthebest_PSN If he's been reported multiple times and he's still doing it, SDS needs to do a better job following up. They could probably use AI to flag obscene logos in the vault for review, too. I just put more of the blame on the people choosing to cheat or upload/use that stuff in the first place.
