I fully agree. I am an old guy, so I vividly remember playing video games when there was no such thing as an update. The update was next year when the new game came out, or if you took the time to make rosters yourself. There was no Internet, so you couldn't download the roster that the other guy made either. I played NCAA back in the day, and the offline mode was fun, but that is because that is all there was. In this age of "instant downloads and information", people aren't going to be as excited with a totally offline mode as they think they will be.

I am using the Castillo Captain, so the Live Series is definitely a viable Team at this point in Season 2. I have a lot of them P5, so with the Castillo boost, they are mid-to-high 90's.

What I don't understand is why not make them like the Cornerstone Captains, so that you can trade one in and try an new one. I have done that for both Seasons, and it was fun building the different lineups with the different Captain cards.

@Teak2112_MLBTS I second the need for repeatable Conquest maps. I know we have the Magic 3 map or whatever it is called, and I do it daily, but let's be honest 5 Show packs isn't really moving the needle all that much, considering what is usually pulled in those packs.

I just don't understand the obsession with Showdown that SDS currently has. They have effectively locked those of us that don't like/can't play Showdown out of all the major Collection Rewards this year, because the Rolen card requires that you be able to do either the Spring Breakout of the Negros Leagues one. I can't seem to do either of them, so I don't have Rolen or Williams, despite having every single other program 100% complete this year and the Live Series done, due to a lucky Ohtani pull from a Headliners pack. It is very demoralizing.

First of all, you are 100% correct in your observations, but you know as well as I do what their solution is. It is the same solution as they have employed for as long as I have been playing this game...................repeatedly ignore stuff like this, to the point of not even addressing that it exists. Rinse and repeat for next year.

I love baseball, and I actually love MLB The Show, but the changes in format this year have not resonated with me at all. Let's be honest, a significant chunk of the player base here will be gone, or at best divided in attention starting at 8:00pm EST today, when Madden 24 drops.

Oakland is Mason Miller

KC is Seth Lugo

@YOSHI24_XBL So have the previous Legends and Flashbacks players always been a part of the next Legends and Flashbacks requirements? I don't have Rolen, only because I can't beat either the Negro Leagues or Spring Breakout Showdowns. I have have all the other vouchers, but you can only skip one. I don't have Harper or Santana. I was hoping that the Retro Lightning players wouldn't be part of the next big set.

@mietha_MLBTS said in How close (far away) are you from Ted Williams?:

Eternity. I'm not paying to play showdowns and he requires either Summer Breakout or Negro Leagues, both of which require cards that can only be obtained in showdowns, and can't be bought, so I will never get him because SDS refuses to make gold cards that came out in March sellable.

Ditto. I am terrible at Showdown. I apparently have some mental block for this mode. I beat the Starter one, and managed to beat the latest one that came out, but have tried both the Spring Breakout and Negro Leagues ones more times than I care to remember. Locking cards that are necessary for this type of reward behind this one mode is asinine. I know now that I won't get Rolen, Williams, or apparently any other main Collection rewards that come out this year. Make the cards for the old Showdowns sellable at some point, or give me an alternate way to get them. I love Conquest and would play a lengthy map with no other rewards, just to be able to get ONE of the cards from the Negro Leagues Showdown.
