Yes it’s up now

@GiantYankees_XBL

maybe this is a good sign?

I can’t really ever remember a maintenance lasting this long and it seems to just be app maintenance at this point bc ppl are playing the game online rn… I’m watching via twitch

Down for anyone else?

Doesn’t this feel like a very common occurrence this year?

Can’t really remember it happening this much years prior.. I could be wrong though

Tried playing co-op with a friend and was unable to select LS Witt. Could only select the program Witt card

I’ve also seen people unable to select WS reward Bregman in co-op

You're able to choose them at the “pick your cards screen” but when you go to squad preview they are no where to be found

This is slightly ridiculous and needs to fixed asap.

@PAinPA_PSN

ah ok, I stand corrected

@sbchamps17_NSW

you sure? not saying you’re wrong but I felt when I card was earned in a collection path it was always added to the overall card collection count

@Onix_Savage22_PSN

I know, Im being a bit rhetorical in my approach.

It’s horrible that this is how low we’ve sunken as a game.

Not allowing Jose Soriano/Cortes to count towards retro is abysmal

@GoozeFn_PSN

Exactly

@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

@SavageSteve74_PSN

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

Also I think Carlos should count as well

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

That’s just crazy

@rubicante23_PSN

Exactly… ppl saying this are just flat out wrong

We were used to having a certain eye and not to swing at pitches we knew were out of the strike zone(box)… it’s become muscle memory atp

Now that’s not the case… I just made a post that i played the event a lot today- so i got pretty used to it… it’s not horrible

But it’s still bigger than just being “visual” , and i also think a change like this should be implemented at launch.

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

@pbake12_PSN

Hitting is definitely different

It’s just weird to make this drastic of a change in the middle of a game cycle

We not implement this at launch?

And to top it off custom practice BP still functions with old strike zone so there’s no way to get accustom to this except in game

This was a very odd decision by sds

But this whole game cycle has been odd and bad… so i guess its not surprising

@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
