The only thing that should shrink is the outer pci and not the inner.

I fear they are ditching stadium creator which is dumb. We shouldn’t have less customization, we should have more. Let us make the fun.

I think they took it away to force us to play custom leagues.

@alstl04_PSN yes but how can u reflect a guy throwing 102 when it tops at 99? How can u reflect a way to mash curveballs with no stat for it. Let them be earnable or let us edit them.

Would be nice to edit quirks on created players, prospects, or mlb players. Or make them earnable. Like if I got a guy hitting 350+ off the bench, can he get pinch hitter? Can I give a guy outlier if I want to make my league to play? Would be cool if Joe random was a 78mph knuckleball and 102mph fastball guy and I gotta face him. Seems like an easy thing to add that lets the users have fun is all.

The Kick Change is becoming a big change up for pitchers now. Hopefully they add it like they did the sweeper. Ik it’s just a Circle change that has more horizontal break but why not have it. Also would be nice if 2seam fastballs actually ran more. Would be cool to have a 2seam be very horizontal and a sinker that sinks combo.

@Teak2112_MLBTS really? [censored] I was at BMT and had 0 chance to do that.

How do you get him? I just got back on the game and I’m confused because the locations tab won’t show me where you get him.

Also to add, it would be nice to put logos on the shoulders and back of hats too. Doesn’t need to be big but the ability to do that would be nice. I’d use that to add patches to make the uniforms look more realistic then just hat and jersey.

@NiteLordz_PSN @therupster12_xbl you can back pick yes that isn’t my point. My point is have you’ll ever back picked a guy and threw him out? CPU or real person? I haven’t and I’ve played the game for years.

@jake93436_PSN I like the thought with the foul balls, some reaction to them would be cool too.

I still badly want to back pick people. They need to add a stat for baserunning leads and jumps for stealing, a true pickoff stat or deception move(s) and catcher back picks. Let the running game have a skill gap and let the ability to shut down the running game be a skill game. I just feel like those are healthy competition balances that change maybe the meta of teams and gameplay. Idk just thinking in the spot.

@skim3797_PSN I get I’m about to nitpick 1 thing you said here but the baseball market isn’t small. If it was then MLB the Show wouldn’t be a top selling sports game the last few years and a top 15 to 20 game the last few years. The market is there and if the product is good people will get it. Hence why the graphics need a tune up, the gameplay looks good and I like the fielding changes again. Just make it looks peak.

I was a catcher and I watched that part of the break down closely. Thank you for not forgetting about us but plz SDS can you make the motions look for fluid and not as still. They look better do not get me wrong but it still looks robotic. The motions need to look like you are working through the ball with force.
Also PLEASE ADD CATCHER BACK PICKS. Why can’t elite catchers make plays on bad base runners? Like in DD why can I back pick guys with bad base running stats and low speed with guys like Ivan Rodriguez and JT? If people want to take cheesy leads and be dumb on the base paths can I please take advantage of that. Let mistakes hurt on the bases more please. It will add a healthy skill gap to the game. Plus as a catcher, no better feeling then back picking a guy (going yard beats it but u get my point).

Plz let us change team affiliations.

I’m not saying let me make Aaron Judge a dodger for fun but what I am saying is if a player has played for that team then can I for theme teams change their team affiliation of the card to fit that captain boost.

Example- The Phillies have a TON of great lefties in their modern day lineup and history but I’m not trying to run an all lefties team. Harrison Bader is now a Gaint, can I play change his team affiliation so I can add 1 more righty bat to even out the lineup. Or at the end of the year can I change the 99 Billy Wagner from an Astro to a Philly and Jeff Hoffman to a Philly, to fit the theme team and help the bullpen.

Unless captains are better throughout the year PLZ make this change so more diversity and fun can be added. I remember in 24 the Corbin speed team T2 and Phillies theme team T2 was really fun and actually a good team. Add this with the team affiliation changes! Could go hard, just sayin.

I agree with what I have seen on the internet and social media so far with, why are the graphics still the same. I get it, resolution and some things may be better and tighter and not every year needs to be a graphics jump but come on. I was will to let 25 slide if the gameplay was that good and it kinda wasn’t. Now I have to hope 26 is that good to let it slide? Baseball is my sport so I’m still getting the game especially with the WBC but again, if the gameplay isn’t killer this year then I fear for the future fan base of The Show. I feel like we still get more than 2k and Madden each year but it’s starting to not feel like that and I don’t want The Show to be a toxic cycle like those games are. Please get the gameplay right and modes and please update the graphics this year or next.

Would be nice to swap between the 4 designs like they let us on the play now screen, this way have more combos of jeresys to use between the 4 hats 4 jerseys and 4 pants/soxs.
Would also be nice to pick the 3 team colors for that day so guys switch up their accessories colors based off those picks from game to game like they do IRL.

@Akhenaten1313_PSN No that made 2K annoying in unfun online. SDS should just change them per card.

They have create a player, can I have create a manager/coach? That way manager stats “matter” or do something. And if they still don’t it’d still be cool to be able to make legend coach’s. Also let me hire the sock puppet as a free agent head coach and he heckles the umpires and gets tossed sometimes.

Troy Tulowitzki, Jose Reyes, and Jose Fernandez are must legends to add for me.
Also ADD MORE CREATE A JERSEY CUSTOMIZATION PLZ! Would be could to recreate or change some of the city connects or make different ones for my teams using the patterns. And where’s a basic camo pattern that I can chose the 3 or 4 colors to make up that pattern then make my logos and stuff (and add my logos to the sleeves and back of the collars!).

Would be nice for theme teams if we just have movers cards. Give a moving truck with the new teams logo in the old uniforms action shot. Again this should help theme teams.
