Can we please have a slider or even **customize managers ** for the ability to make game decisions and affect player development?
Like can I have hitting coaches and pitching, actually help my team throughout a season. Can managers or front offices have a slider that allows them to make certain decisions like for pitch hitters or bullpen moves. That way some managers go to the same guy a lot in certain situations and others go more matchups and others use a mix of both. I feel this touch would help with simulating seasons too for “realism”. Plus it would be fun to make managers and coaches of the past for legend teams.

@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN to be fair. Kershaw retired and he’s back already. Not even 6 months. Ik it’s WBC but still.

Can we change something this year? No offense we saw this response last year. Can we see it to believe it is all.

Josh Donaldson.
went to look for his stance because I downloaded him for a franchise and I don’t see his batting stance in the options. It was there last year so maybe they are hiding it till they drop him. Plus with them going hard on Yankees players the other year then Red Sox last year, just feels like the Blue Jays turn with Adam Jones and Britton being added for the O’s. It could be Matt Kemp tho.

Ok for some reason I can’t pitch anymore and I get it I work more and don’t have the time I use to, to play games anymore.

With that said I tried the other pitching meters/styles and I like pin point but still throw the ball all over the place because I can’t time the shape tracing. I really like that I pull down to the zone on the plate I want to throw that pitch to tho. So I have a settings adjustment I REALLY hope to see - instead of going down to up, can I flip it and go up to down?!? I get it’s not in the game but that seems like an easy and helpful quality of life feature I’d like to try and see if it helps me from yanking balls I’m trying not to.

When people have high arms and catcher pop we’ll see. If I see someone using Cal, everyone gets the steal sign rn.

The music just isn’t it this year. La La La bumba is still in my head. Mine as well cut a deal with Spotify or something so this is never an issue.

Why does he tilt his bat over the way he does? Literally his stance and laid are probably the best ever but that little tilt just looks way off. Just seems like a easy adjustment to make is all.

@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN Bro we already know he’s getting a card lol. The other Jose would be a gas legend.

Awesome great debut, would be a sick card. But where’s Marlins Jose Fernandez

I’d be fun to make exhibition teams. I was hoping they’d still that from the old 2K games. It was fun playing my friends with our teams at sleepovers and stuff as a kid.
I agree with the uniform stuff, all they have to do is copy and paste the stuff they already made into the options to the created team/uniform screen. Also why can’t we make camo or MLB city connect patterned jerseys?

Does Hr/9 still affect gameplay and card overalls?

I was looking at cards in the MLB app and I saw that pitchers still have a Hr/9 stat. Is this a possible reason for the weird hits? Ik they said it was gone in the streams and it shows in game it’s gone but why does the app show it and why is it different on different cards? This raises the question.

Did SDS lie and say they took out stats that don’t affect gameplay? Or is this a visual bug in the app and the stats screen needs to be redone. Or is this a hidden stat that is affecting gameplay and card overalls and we don’t know it because we can’t see it in game.

If it does affect overall and gameplay, why not just show it. Is it’s a visual bug then why not fix it but also why is it different? If we were lied to on purpose why? And is this the reason why some cards feel good and others don’t.
Just curious if anyone else say this and have thoughts.
Also there are hidden stats for hitters like discipline.

Yup! People wear mint green, baby blue, light purple and pink (Harrison Bader) all the time. Yet they still have their colors off so it’s annoying when they are in game and look off.

2K basketball does 1 thing right. I can make my uniforms look HOW EVER I WANT. More customization does not hurt the game. It makes me spend more time on it before I play what I want to play. Would just be nice to make a jersey that looks like and MLB one but it’s mine.

Defense is good and will be seen as so the more better cards come out. Baserunning is terrible, and hitting feels like it went backwards. We need the old skill gap for baserunning and more control over situational baserunning. If I want a guy going on contact, let me set that plz. Pitchers need a pickoff rating like catchers have catcher poptime. The inner PCI (the dot) needs to be a vision stat and get bigger and smaller based on that stat, the inner bubble needs to be a contact stat, and the outer needs to be affected by Ks/9 more or less based on that stat to reduce foul balls.
Other than that game is fine but frustrating. Also more customization with jerseys and colors on players should be aloud. Why has it been the same since 2013.

@PAinPA_PSN so they need to make the roster? Ok now why are the Phillies not putting either of them on the 26 man. I wanna win.

@Millsboro_XBL Bro, hit Triangle or Y and go up on the stats screen. Your welcome

@Smooth6mgZyn_XBL the fielding is good and realistic. Try guys with better fielding, reaction and speed.

@SavageSteve74_PSN Crawford has 47 ABs for the Phills in 2026 Spring Training. Painter has pitched 4 games and has a 2.31 ERA. So outside [censored] of Future Stars is wild and 2 they are playing?!? Why give the Mariners 4 or 5 cards and not either of these two 1? They are playing, spring training break out cards aren’t performance based or some of the guys they dropped wouldn’t have cards. I use the stats to prove a point that they are playing not they need a card. Just saying spread the love to other teams.

@jake93436_PSN it’s DD it’s on perfect by default.
