@Player99_MLBTS Nah. There’s nothing there. Hornsby had a cocky attitude that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I’m not sure he got along with anyone much. When you do enough of that to enough people, some are bound to fabricate things in retaliation. But as far as baseball goes, he was intensely determined to do everything in his power to be the best hitter ever, and many would state that he is.

As a business owner, I truly appreciate the detailed constructive criticism. This is how a good business should evaluate feedback. Personally, my SOLE deciding factor to buy next year’s game is re-instating early legends (Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Jimmie Foxx, Walter Johnson, Lefty Grove (especially as a reliever again), etc.) and new ones like Joe DiMaggio, Grover Alexander, and plenty of worthy pitchers. Without it, I will replay earlier versions I have. I banged the drum for Roy Campanella and was happy to see Red , Albert Pujols, and Phil Rizzuto added, and it brought me back this year. We’ll see for next year, as my free time will unfortunately be even more limited, but I am hopeful.

I agree with all of you. Early pitching is a big part of MLB. But apparently not appreciated by who’s making the decisions for this particular game. A lot are wanting that change and may not be back next year because of it. I’ll be paying attention to its direction for sure.

There’s just so many fascinating early legends that cannot cost much to bring into the game- and clearly has many fans to cater to- but, fewer appear within the game. This is especially true for the pitchers. I really didn’t plan to buy the game this year. But, I feel they did a good job introducing new legends, including Campy that I had beat the drum for. We’ll see about next year.

I keep waiting for him. Lately, he’s been end-of-game cycle. It’s a shame for literally one of the best pitchers ever. SDS will turn customers like me away with lack of action on early legends. I’m in my 30s, so they may not have an accurate read on their customer base- or don’t care. Either way, pitching legends have taken a hit over the years and it’s noticeable.

I personally find abandoning our early staring pitching legends to be inexcusable. Walter Johnson? Christy Mathewson? Lefty Grove? Bob Feller is stuck at 88? Where’s more early legends? That’s my two cents. But I pay significantly more to this franchise that keeps getting harder to justify.

I agree with you. I’ve been a baseball fan following every game of my team since before and after Zobrist’s career. He will play more MLB games than I will in our lives lol. But, a lot of streamers and online players love this type of player and had a hole of sorts at his best position. I have been working to compile stubs to get what I assumed was a two-way Babe Ruth. I guess I’ll be able to take it easier now. I sure miss Ernie Banks, and wish I played early enough to use Ty Cobb and Rogers Hornsby.

I think a two-way Babe card is a good bet. He’s a no-brainer on baseball’s Mount Rushmore, and worthy of a big collection reward. And he’s popular and overdue for his 99. He’s one of the few cards I’d work to get.

A good 99 Clemente is a welcomed addition for me.

Expressing your opinion like this often turns people away from your message. A little diplomacy can go a long way.

Glad to see that card. Wish it was a 99 though- just a weird OCD thing on me I guess lol

One of the few new legends they brought on this year is Cardinals great Red Schoendienst. Also Yankees great Phil Rizzuto. Neither have been rewarded with more than their introductory card at the start of the game. I’ve defended SDS more than most, but it doesn’t look good. With all their issues and lack of legends focus this could well be my final year. I hope not.

I expect very little. But, hope for some Ty Cobb/Joe DiMaggio-level announcement and prepared to be let down lol. My 2027 will be busier, but hope some early legends draw me back in to MLBTS next year! Earlier 99s of lesser-used legends would be a plus. Example: a 99 Richie Ashburn is valuable. But, not as much at the end of the game cycle when all 99s are coming out at the same time.

I can assure you that good companies value feedback as to why a consumer quits their product. I’ve banged the drum for more early legends and was happy with the new ones for this year, but they’ve been abandoned since launch. Many are frustrated with glitches and the pack scandal without much communication. So, you can debate the level this company evaluates things, but, in my opinion, having the feedback is indeed beneficial and hopefully forces improvement in those areas.

@SpecialFrosty_PSN

I had a wide latitude initially to rope in both sides, but the ending is my personal feelings lol. Thank you.

I wouldn’t blame any player for exploiting the glitch. But, no one should blame SDS for reversing those gains from that glitch. It simply impacted the whole game too much. I stay busy and play at my own pace. I like to save my stubs for 99 end-game cards- mostly of early legends. (I’m no Dodgers fan, but Campy and Snider are crushing for me FWIW.) I’d never heard of Lou Boudreau before MLBTS ‘26, but researched and very impressed by him. Yet, I realized he’d never overtake Honus Wagner as my SS. I finally decided to complete the Cleveland collection to get him, submitted a top offer, went to sleep, and awoke to find the price had escalated out of control. I now see why. I view this as a small example of today’s society. Morality will be stretched until the rubber band breaks. It should always be met tactfully by those willing to do the right thing. Silence is always a swing a miss….SDS steps to the plate….

Yeah, Gehrig is the one for me with this series.

There’s so many worthy legends for the game. Not all of their 99’s would be used much due to the game cycle. The Brock/Gwynn/Ashburn/Snider’s, etc. aren’t going to supplant the Mantle/Musial/Ruth’s for the outfield. Bring their 99’s out earlier. Make it a grind to get them. Would give something to do with a lack of content, especially for offline players.
