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.

I don't know, my starting pitcher is doing pretty well despite not being able to max out pitches. I've got her in her fifth season pitching for the Cubs, and she's already a 99 overall, even with all the improvement she has left. Even won the Cy Young last season.What I would recommend is to prioritize the tools, specifically the Per 9 and Big Game tools. The higher your Per 9s, the harder time opposing batters will have figuring out your pitches, and the higher your Stamina (under Big Game), the longer your manager will let you stay in if you're doing well. Both of these will help you get more tokens in a season (my SP can get upwards of 400 now). Then you can use that as cover to build up your pitches incrementally.
Yeah, it takes a long time, but stick with it, and your player should be able to max stuff out during their career.

For this game, I'm strictly RTTS, and I enjoy making new players, coming up with their characters, and developing them to become some of the best in the sport. I prefer simple, straightforward game mechanics (no interest in having to play some mini-game every time I have to throw to first) and adjusting difficulty levels to whatever I'm feeling in the moment (sometimes I want a challenge, sometimes i just wanna pwn the other team). Sometimes I'll even imagine my various players know each other and create little dialogues for them about various things, because I come from an RPG background and that's how my brain works.
-
I have very little faith the Red Sox will make it into the postseason; if they do, they won't make it far. Alas, expounding on why I feel that way would just cue another rant about the ownership, so I'll leave it at this.
-
@Talkingben9558_XBL IRL if you hit a line drive right at someone that's just crappy luck, but if you strike out looking on a borderline pitch the reaction is much less likely to be "go up next time and do a good job" than "this game is rigged, I am being robbed". Look at the batters when that happens in a game. Bet you anything they're mentally cursing out the umpire at that moment.
-
That's the exact reason I deleted my 3rd baseman
-
There's also the possibility that they're being directed to put all the '25 fixes into MLB The Show '26 so if we want the bugs corrected, we're forced to buy the new version...
I'm torn. I love the new token system and its freedom to choose what to upgrade on my player and when, but between all the bugs and the lamentable music selection I'm starting to feel like maybe I should just stick to RTTS '24 until SDS sorts itself out.
