@Dolenz_PSN How about the guys with no cards?

I don't have an easy way to check if they are still in the game. So Lou Brock and Ozzie Smith are two examples. They are most likely still in but I have no easy way to tell

It still early but I noticed we are getting a lot of current players in todays Multiplayer drop so I decided to see how the actual MLB Hall of Famers were doing in comparion.

These are the ones already in the game with no Diamond.

83 Bob Gibson SP STL Veteran
83 Bruce Sutter CP CHC All-Star
83 Cal Ripken Jr. SS BAL 2nd Half Heroes
83 Don Sutton SP MIL Veteran
83 Mike Mussina SP BAL Breakout
83 Nolan Ryan SP LAA Contributor
83 Robin Roberts SP PHI All-Star
83 Willie Stargell 1B PIT All-Star
80 Red Schoendienst 2B STL All-Star

So while I have not seen it myself the word is that the other ranked card is Bregman and according to Pergo the other Program card is Harper

The new Elly Spotlight card that is 94 overall is cool but what’s not cool is his speed and steal attributes. How is one of the fastest players in the game slower in his spotlight card then he is in his live series card. This has to be a mistake? Did he hit that well and play the field that well and end up with 2 broken legs? Come on MLB The Show! You have to at minimum have his speed and steal attributes at his live settings of 99 steal and 88 speed?

Because, this year he has not been one of the fastest. Statcast measures it and when the card was released he was ranked like 121st.

The card was for his April 2026, not his big season from several years back.

@sbchamps17_NSW it will eventually change to somebody else in a month or too or back to judge is my guess. But I don’t rly get this why didn’t we just go with the bobby cover from the start of the year and give him the hype of a “cover athlete”. Because I am still not certain if these mid game covers make u a “cover athlete” like last year we had 3 different covers but they were all on the initial cover of the game. This just seems rly random even tho better then the real cover.

Very simple, they decided Judge sells more copies at release by being on the cover of the physical editions. Bobby Witt is great but a SS from KC is not selling physical copies on the coast.

I just never understood why someone would buy a game because of the cover, or refuse to buy it because of who's on the cover.

Maybe thats a valid reason for buying or not buying but I still won't ever understand it.

I don't understand it either but there is also a part of me that says that if it did not help then why bother paying these guys extra to put them on the cover in the first place.

To take a break from all of the complaints here is a Gif of my new Card details screen

• Tab 1 - Attributes
• Tab 2 - Update History (only shows for live series)
• Tab 3 - Misc (Extra Card metadata and real world info including all teams played for and awards)
• Tab 4- The Meta Calculations for the Cards
• Tab 5 - Other Cards
• Tab 6 - Current Season stats (for live Series)

I am still debating of letting others download it and use it if there is interest. It takes a few steps to run it locally but once it does it is quick running and has a bunch of other features beyond this screen

@ChuckCLC_PSN so the 2.42 ERA and 11 Ks per 9 don’t do it for you, huh - truthfully he should’ve been an 85 going into the year and this was them correcting that

just as a bit of mediation on the Sanchez argument

You can take the 2.42 ERA out of it. ERA does not effect upgrades or downgrades unless the underlying attributes change. Sanchez got

H/9 R = -5
K/9 L = +9
K/9 R = +6
PCLT = -3

For some strange reason though not a single pitcher had their H/9 L updated. Based on the changes made and knowing how highly SDS values k/9 in their ratings I can understand the +1 overall in this case.

I just looked. You are correct. Not a single pitcher had their H/9 vs L attribute updated.

My first thought was that it had to be a bug. But then I wondered if SDS just decided there was not enough data yet.

Looking at Tarik Skubal as an example he has logged 158 at bats so far and only 33 of those were against lefties

Batters on the other hand, while the split is still lopsided have more ABs against lefties. Matt Olson has 91 ABs against righties this season and 59 against lefties

Looked pretty sloppy and lazy out there allowing Wetherholt to hit a little league Grand Slam

I'm curious who exactly are you saying "I Told You So" to?

I much prefer the blue background

The one for DD?

Was waiting for the latest roster update that was dropped today to start franchise but when you load the live roster it’s still the previous one.

When they talk about Roster Updates they are almost always talking about Diamond Dynasty. I have no idea when they actually update the rosters or Franchise and have never seen them actually announce it when and if they do.

@Gone-Viral_XBL said:

Today's RU intentionally didn't boost the values of obvious candidates for price increases.

While I don't doubt that really, I would still want to look at a few of those players on a case by case basis because too often players just look at stats like ERA which doesn't count for anything or they look at batting average overall or HR total without looking at the Lefty Righty splits that the attributes are based on.

Again, we all know that they do what they do selectively. We don't need to look beyond the 90 plus overall players that they ignored rather than downgrade today.

@virusts_PSN said:

I have no idea honestly how they do pitchers. Relievers of the year end up at the end of season going down to silvers a couple years ago. Max Fried doesn’t go up at all this time. I’ve literally seen guys under 1 Era in the bullpen go down. Don’t like how they do it at all.

Because they Rely on H/9 and k/9

A few years back Alex Reyes was one of the best relievers for the first half. He never was upgraded though because he was not effecient. He would walk too many guys or allow a few hits. He worked himself out of jams all the time but those hits and walks kept him from getting upgraded.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN said:

OK, good to know. I'll follow up with the team on this. Thank you all!

Was anything ever done with this?

I am having a awful time trying to confirm numbers.

Jordan Walker got a +13 to his CON R to raise it to 55 today but the card shows a 49 value in that attribute thanks, I assume, to inside edge.

I can see that he has an Inside Edge today but NOWHERE can I see what attributes are actually being affected? Sure I can switch from the base to the current attributes in the game and do the math myself but there is nowhere I can see the actual values.

EDIT: I think I have managed to work around it for now.

I'd need to look at his stats. Earned runs allowed does not factor into it.

He got negative adjustments to Sta, H/9 and K/9 and, this might be the strange on to me, PCLT

I don't technically know how they compute that last one

Yeah, not a single card that was 90 or above got downgraded to below a 90. Instead they just ignored them and did not update them at all
