See! I told you guys they would

On a side note, reading the replies on Twitter it’s kinda scary that so many grown adults that play this game have the mentality of middle school kids and have such a difficult time accepting responsibility

@Teak2112_MLBTS

It was not better than Kendrick’s performance lol

But i’m so baffled why this is an allowed topic on the mlb the show forum “diamond dynasty” section

None of this has to do with baseball or mlb the show franchise.

I miss 23’s sets and seasons model…

Na this showdown was awesome, gives props to sds when due

I love this- if you’re good enough to earn him free you can. And if you’re not good enough to earn free you can buy

Just like DQ rewards. And it gives players that are good a chance to make some extra stubs if they want to repeat just like DQ!

As a person that likes to play higher difficulty modes like DQ to earn stubs as fast as possible- I wish SDS would drop new content just like this showdown much more frequently

So I just saw on Twitter- someone posted that they are banned from marketplace. They posted a screenshot and all

Stated they can only quick sell cards but can not put in buy or sell orders

@jeffstified_XBL

There’s 1000% bots in the market lol

It’s blatantly obvious

Why doesn’t he nor Jose Soriano count towards retro chipper collection?

That’s just crazy

And obviously this is “imo”

But I’m mostly an online player… ranked(solo and coop) and events.

Events was a great way to play the game, use cards you’ve either gained or purchased and to make stubs or gain cards from the exclusive event rewards.

I haven’t played ranked yet bc it’s too early and I wanna build my team up some more. And all the goons are out in BR but I don’t play that mode anyway

The game just seems really boring to me atp… it’s like they added weekend league but said to themselves “since we added something we must remove something” and I guess Event Rewards had to be the victim.

It really sucks…

Also why is Paul skenes card so expensive and increasing so much? Pretty much every other card has been steady regarding price

But skenes has jumped almost 40K in a couple of days

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN

Trout is one the the “gate keeper” cards in regards to LS collection

His price will never go down that much especially this early in the game cycle

@MarioMendoza935_XBL

Thanks

@TheRupster12_XBL

Bingo! This will not speed up games drastically at all.. so it’s kinda silly imo

Also like you said.. aren’t some pitchers more difficult to hit from the stretch bc they have glitchy releases(from the stretch)

I know one off the top of my head that has a glitchy stretch release.. Kershaw

Not sure how many other pitchers have the kershaw thing going on

@Onix_Savage22_PSN

I think ppl would be unhappy due to he fact that Pulos was just in the game a few years ago

He’s not really that “new” to be the MLb collection reward

@TripleH-4481_PSN I was hesitant on getting this years game after playing the previous 6 years. I ended up caving just due to boredom during the time this game drops in March.

These threads have been popping up lately, I felt the same way for a couple weeks.

This is the first year I’ve lost interest and stopped playing as early as April.

Mid April I got burnt out playing mini seasons over and over.

Weekend Classic was mostly the final straw. I was placed in the wrong division and started my leaderboard with a negative score.

My final straw was the Miggy Collection and how pointless the endless grind for collections is.

Last years game was fun because it had new modes:

1. ⁠DQ was a blast to grind and fun way to achieve collections.
2. ⁠collection rewards (Roger, Beltran) and new legends (manny, Ted) were fire
3. ⁠weekend classic brought good rewards to ranked.

This year:

1. ⁠DQ has been castrated
2. ⁠collection rewards are MID at best, and a waste of stubs at worst.
3. ⁠weekend classic is still broken and unplayable with this years pitching.

The show ‘26 has 0 redeemable qualities. The only slight positive is parallels mods but even those can’t fix the gameplay.

What they did to DQ should be a punishable crime(hyperbole) but still… I’ve found very little reason to play this year. And that is a first for me tbh

While i still think it’s bad, i completed the event today and it’s not as horrible as I thought.

I still think it’s a v weird change to make in the middle of a game cycle- seeing we've become so used to the other strike zone for years

This type of gameplay change should be something that is implemented at launch imo

@SavageSteve74_PSN

Why is Soriano not included towards retro chipper collection? That’s BS

Also I think Carlos should count as well

@sbchamps17_NSW

Your response totally ignores my first question… why isn’t Jose Soriano counted towards Chipper?

Also, regarding Carlos. He is purchasable on the market

While I got him via event wins, one isn’t forced to play online to get him.

You can buy him just like you have to buy the other spotlight cards to get Chipper

And I’m not even saying he needs to be a requirement

I’m stating you should be able to use him to count towards retro collection if you have him

So I don’t really see the logic in your explanation, sorry

@PriorFir4383355_XBL

You’re misinterpreting my statement

I’m not saying they actually committed grand larceny

I’m saying what they did.. the extent of manipulation, pack “stealing” is equivalent to grand larceny

Juxtaposed to someone that found a glitch and exploited it for say $1000 stubs which would be equivalent to petty theft

The extent of what they did and the valuation of what was gained is extreme… ppl getting up to 4,000 packs is CRAZY

And it changes the game

Is it down for anyone else? Why does this seem like a weekly occurrence?

Can’t remember it being this bad in years past

@GiantYankees_XBL

For the life of me I really can’t fathom why this year’s game is so buggy smh
