@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

@jeffstified_XBL

There’s 1000% bots in the market lol

It’s blatantly obvious

@bjd10048_MLBTS

There are Ted Simmons and Headly cards in 26 that you can obtain

I’m confused by your statement

@Beacho_A_PSN

You paid an extra $30 and received 20 standard packs, legend pack, two WBC packs and 20k stubs

The extra $30 absolutely has a monetary value via perks that I just mentioned

20k stubs alone is about $20 if you were purchasing stubs from the market

@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

@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

@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.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL

Thanks

@jeromesaysword_PSN

Where did you see news of a new Beltran?

@MarioMendoza935_XBL

He’s 130k stubs…

@Ericulous1_XBL

Them doing the right thing is bringing a mode back bc your internet doesn’t allow you to play online?

lol

@TheBigPapa55_PSN

Haha guess I had the pack gods on my side this year… don’t worry I’m not usually this pack lucky

@xXSharkyXx4757_XBL

Lol that’s not how it works

Matching is based on ranking

If your if your current ranking is 200 you will be matched with players in the same ranking

Just like if you were 700 you’d be matched with some near 700

It doesn’t matter what cards a person has on their team

Not to be that guy but I haven’t opened nearly as many packs as people in this thread and I’ve pulled Bryce, Mookie and Lindor.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN

There is no I told you so moment- if you read my posts in this thread I literally said:

Trout’s price will not go down anytime soon. He’s a gate keeper for LS collections which means he’s not going to drop 50k-100k stubs come April 25th and anytime soon after

Will his price eventually decrease this year as the game cycle continues… of course that always happens but again that won’t happen anytime soon.

I’m not speaking on what the price point for LS Trout will be in MLb 26 or 27 or 28 bc I can’t tell the future

I’m speaking on what’s relevant to this thread and that is MLB the show 25

And you seem to think that a homerun that gets his BA up to about .124 on the year is some "gotcha" moment.

"This thread aged like milk..." Really?

Reread the op and see why I said that:

“Is Trout’s price going to drop if he doesn’t start hitting this week”

On the very same day a few hours later trout homers…

His price isn’t going anywhere anytime soon… if he homered or not today his price wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon

If you’ve played this game for longer than 3 years you would know this. If this is your first year playing then I’m letting you know how the market works with gate keeper cards

Trout just homered so this thread is already aging like milk

@TubaTim90_PSN

What are you talking about?

Trout will be a LS gate keeper for this game’s entire life cycle… will his price drop in months to come? Of course it also happens that way.

But if you think Trout’s price will drastically drop in a few weeks you’re sadly mistaken

What you’re saying about future price points for a LS Trout card in mlb 26 and beyond is irrelevant to this conversation about his price in mlb the show 25

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN

I’m really not understanding your sarcasm with this post because your previous post that I responded to was not apparently sarcastic to the average reader
