Excellent list.

I hope Abbott gets a good Angels card and not just Yankee stuff.

I really hope they cap the sell price like it was at the beginning of last year. Raising those amounts just made it impossible for many players to complete specific collections and completely priced out lots of people who came in later.

This was sad, man. And he was SO young! Thoughts go out to his family right now.
Wasn't he a 3 time WS champ, too? Packed a lot in to his career as a specialist.

I will pre-order like I do every year. Same thing for my son for his version on the Switch.
I know it isn't a perfect game. I know there will be lots I'll say they should have or could have done. Overall though, I also know I'll get my money's worth by the end of the season.
And hopefully this isn't the year my son gets better than me at it ..

@Sarge1387_PSN said in Song suggestion for MLB the show 26.:

I'd love to see "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" from the Beastie Boys...to me this just feels like an appropriate baseball song

And make it only unlock when you get Ebbets Field in DD!
Oooooh. They could absolutely pair songs with stadiums and do that. That could be kind of cool. Though it would suck if you had to earn the one or two songs you like, but still... The concept has possibilities.

@Christuffer_NSW said in Cover Athlete for MLB 26:

@Finn_Scotus_MLBTS I felt like you copied my opinion on the cover athlete(s).

Im sorry. I kind of just skimmed the comments and threw my own 2 cents in. Didn't mean to plagiarize by any means.

Love this for Cleveland fans. As a former Oakland A fan I'm super jealous of a team making sure they work something out and keep a star long term.
I'm really happy for them and my respect for JRam goes even higher.

I still think Skubal has a good shot, with Kurtz as a dark horse candidate.
That said, I think Skubal and Raleigh could be a duo with some play on the pitcher/catcher tandem aspect for catch phrase... "Battery powered!" or something like that.

I have PS5 but we have a switch 2 for my son. I'm interested to see how it plays compared to the regular switch last year.

I think to your question, the Phillies and Padres are likely to have solid lineus, while the Mets' lineup could either break out or crash and burn. We'll have to see how it goes but should be an interesting year for quite a few teams.
Here's to a good '26!

Annnnnnd Ha Seong Kim is out for 4-5 months for the Braves. Ouch.

No AI please!! That [censored] is being shoved down our throats everywhere. Please don't bring it to my favorite game!!

I'd be thrilled with something like this, but I don't expect it. Stubs are their bread and butter. Why lessen that at all?
Would bea nice gesture to the loyal players though...

I would love to sit and have a long lunch with Tim Kirkjian. That guy knows so many obscure baseball stories! I don't think the stories would play well with the quick pace of this game though.

Reggie Stocker
But seriously, I think Tarik Skubal, with dark horses to join him of Nick Kurtz and Josh Naylor

Thoughts on Murph and Mattingly getting kept out?
I get the appeal of both personally but I think Dale Murphy's numbers over a longer period of time and the consistency for a good 10 or so years of it should get him in. He also had some speed for a bit.
Mattingly just misses if it were up to me. It's sad, because he really was good for a few years, but there just isn't enough there in my opinion. He had like 6 really good years and a few more average ones.
And before anyone brings up War or any of that, I know they're similar there. I'm not a huge fan of the new age stats and don't think that should be a critical aspect of who gets in and doesn't. It can help, but shouldn't be the only "gotcha" for an argument

Star Wars OT and The Princess Bride

Same to you!

Would be crazy if they did Raleigh AND Judge. That would explode some people's brains.
I do think they'll stick with multiple though in case one falters.
