Oakland is Mason Miller

KC is Seth Lugo

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.

@urbanphilosophy_XBL It originally said tomorrow, the 23rd, but when they updated the schedule and added the stuff coming the next two Fridays, it dropped off the list. I am hoping that it was just a spacing issue, and they wanted to get the part about 8/2 being the Lightning Card on there.

The new Jurrangelo Cijntje card doesn't truly "switch pitch" in the game. They do have him deliver the ball from the same-hand side of the batter each time, but the break on his pitches is always as if delivered from a right-handed pitcher. The Slider doesn't break away from left-handed batters as you would expect from a left-handed pitcher. Instead it runs in on left-handed batters. Now I have been able to use that fact to my advantage a few times, but overall the "switch pitching" thing is just a visual gimmick in the game, and not truly as he pitches in real life.

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.

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 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.
