This was mentioned back in May, and I'll say again what I said there: SDS should only implement those levels if they come with a way to skip them. So many people are already complaining about not getting to the majors fast enough; adding two more levels of minor league action will just make that worse.

I don't know, my SP is already a 99 overall and I'm not even a free agent yet. The difference in how many tokens you can earn in a game certainly makes up for how infrequently you play; the goal rewards can certainly help too.

I agree the 3-year time skip with very little to show for it is frustrating, but I'm not sure I'd go that far. Maybe start with doubling the number of tokens you get for going to college, as see what the impact is from there?

Yeah, sponsorships would be cool

This sort of thing is why I set the "Manager Hook" slider all the way to the left for all my starting pitchers

Out of curiosity, what happens if you turn fielding perspective off, and just use the straight-up button interface? Does b throw over to first correctly?

Only if they come with a way to skip those levels. So many people are already complaining about not getting to the majors fast enough; adding two more levels of minor league action will just make that worse.

Whatever team my player said they wanted to play for at the start of the game.

I think my catcher was the only one who said she didn't care; she was a first-round pick by the Phillies

When my pitcher has an active Dynamic Challenge involving strikeouts (e.g. strike batter out, finish the inning with no runs and two strikeouts, etc.), and an AI batter successfully challenges a called Strike Three, then that causes the Dynamic Challenge to stay open and apply to a subsequent batter or inning. Even happened with a Boss Challenge yesterday: I struck out Aaron Judge, he got the called strike three overturned, so I got him swinging a couple pitches later. But even though I still completed the Boss Challenge, it didn't register the success until I struck out another batter in a subsequent inning. Anybody else noticing this glitch?

Are hot and cold zones for hitters still a thing in MLB The Show 26? If so, how do I toggle them on? I can't find a setting for it.

My two-way player got called up to the Red Sox, and I quickly noticed a huge mistake in away games that appears to be a programming error, rather than some sort of glitch: for away series starting on a Fridays, the default uniform becomes a mix of the road cap with "Alternate 2" jersey and pants (the white uniform with "Boston" on the front instead of "Red Sox"). The Red Sox NEVER use this combo on the road; the "Alternate 2" jersey is exclusively for home games taking place on Patriots Day (the third Monday of April, when the Boston Marathon is held).

This set needs to be replaced with the red "Aternate 1" jersey with road cap and pants, please. Replacing the uniforms manually every single time is getting old.

The first issue started with RTTS 25: Managers pull you ridiculously early, particularly in amateur or minor-league games. Go into sliders and move the one for Manager Hook all the way to the left, that should help you out. Then, once your Stamina attribute is high enough, you can pitch complete games on the reg.

@Deadmankillin_PSN I had that issue in RTTS 25 as well. I could pitch a complete game shutout and not get credited with a quality start sometimes. Made me wonder if the game was programmed to think you had to allow three hits or fewer instead of three runs.

I have made 4 players so far in RTTS 26, and despite all of them doing very well at the high school level, up to and including getting into their dream schools across the country, only one ever got an invitation to attend the Draft Combine. Once that player (a catcher) got there, they only got to play one game, instead of the three that position players always got to play before. What's the deal here? Is there now some special factor determining how many games you get to play? I always enjoyed the Draft Combine a lot more that the high school/college stuff, and I'm really feeling shortchanged here.

For your second baseman, focus on contact and fielding/throwing attributes
For your pitcher, focus on your per 9s (H/9, K/9, HR/9) in your "stuff" and control in "other"

You mean when you're playing as a catcher? I would trust that the pitchers' control will improve as you get to the majors, but yeah, it's pretty frustrating at the amateur level

Yeah, my CF spent about two or three weeks at the AAA level. I was really expecting a longer stay, but all my players so far have been called up before the All-Star Break.

Huh. My SP was called up to the Chicago Cubs come July 1. Wasn't even a first-round pick, either.

@GeeMN_PSN I have not come across a broken challenge in 26 yet (and I stress "yet"); one thing I have noticed, though, is that at least one or two of the challenges that were notorious for being broken in 25 have worked fine so far in 26. So...maybe they're all fixed up this time around? We can hope!

@ThaBuddhaBelly_PSN So just so I'm clear, you've maxed out the Umpire Accuracy setting and they're still getting this wrong?

Mine will never happen, I'm sure, but I like wishing them:

• Debug the Dynamic Challenges
• Stop holding games during thunderstorms
• For the love of God and all that is holy, pick some better music. I'm begging you.

Having tried every possible loadout in RTTS '24 last year, I can confirm that all the nicknames remained the same right up to the end.
