@JTOD5_PSN said in Have we gotten an overall update????:

I swear with every update all we’re getting is 70’s going up or down and having position changes, but nothing other than that, we’re like 30 games in, live series cards should be fluctuating in overall by this point

1st one is next week

Hope Ohtani goes down to 89 lol

I have 67 Miguel Vargas's hoping he gets a boost and Brooks Baldwin

It's quite an oversight to build him up and only have his All-Star game card referred to as number 27.

@ralph13m_PSN said in Created players w/ Cyberfaces:

I've noticed when I search the player vault for historical players that there is a user Und Keiner Eier that uploads players with accurate faces with the description Cyberfaces. Ex Fred McGriff, Kenny Lofton, Walter Johnson, etc. Does anyone know how to do that? I would like to do it for players I create.

Since there is no PC support, you would not be able to add cyberfaces like in other sports games (Madden, NBA 2K, etc.), which allow you to unlock player ID tags and apply them to created players. I can only assume "cyberface" means highly detailed players, which wouldn't be correct because, outside of regular customization, you cannot equip PC mods to players.

@Rubbaneck34_XBL said in New legend:

Kirby Puckett so I can see all the salty comments about him. Kirby was one of the best Twins hitters that gets zero love from SDS. I don't care what he did in his personal life. It's what he did on the field that matters!

He was already in the game, but allegations of domestic violence led to his removal, even though this was known about nearly 20 years before his inclusion. I'm not sure how that was overlooked by SDS, but they canceled him after a few Google searches, I guess.

Joe DiMaggio is my guess; they already brought back Ted, and DiMaggio has been out since 2007.

@LIONED-33_XBL said in Add This To The List: Edited after SDS Response:

@SDS_JoeK_PSN so you guys are now messing up creating things that don't exist.....you should make it exist, since SDS continues with market manipulation. Keep buying stubs kids.

He is a company service representative working for Sony San Diego; let's not give him a hard time, regardless of your feelings toward the company.

@ralph13m_PSN said in Player Creation:

@sbchamps17_NSW in a video game?

Unfortunately, you would be surprised by what MLB allows versus what they don't allow in their video games. Much like the NFL, MLB can be a bit too strict in this regard.

@ralph13m_PSN said in SDS Can You Please Fix Retired Numbers:

@Jacob151167_XBL on the bright side, at least Glavine & Trammel can wear their numbers this year if you add them to the Braves & Tigers rosters.

It's odd that it's an issue this year. I remember creating Buehrle and Fisk, and they could wear their numbers without issue. I'm not sure what changed.

Happy Easter, guys.

It's a small thing, but could you please adjust it so that if a player's name matches a retired player's name/number, they can wear that number?

@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS said in Game still locks up on Manage Squad and Moments screens:

I imagine this isn’t just happening to me, but I don’t see enough people griping about it. The game seems to frequently lock up on the Manage Squad screen and when going into moments. Not all the time. But probably once per day. I just restart the game and it’s fine. Is this happening to anyone else? I’m on the ps5.

Yep, happened to me twice on Xbox right after the patch, on the squad screen. Hasn't happened in a few days, though.

@bleachfro_MLBTS said in 4/18 Roster Update:

What are you hoping to see?

My fellow White Sox, rightfully demoted to all commons, with Buehrle and Konerko added to ease my misery.

@LadySwampfox_XBL said in Throwback stadium:

@ElCaballoBxPr_PSN said in Throwback stadium:

Why cant we get Old Tigers Stadium?

There are downloadable stadiums other players have made, but I would prefer Tiger Stadium in the game by default. 430 foot center field distance and all.

I'm guessing that they would have to renegotiate the stadium rights and likeness deals, like they had to with historic players years ago. This may be a tedious process compared to 20 years ago when EA licensed stadiums and players. This is one of the few areas I'll defend SDS on.

This may be off-topic, but I find it absurd that fans are already calling for the hitting coach to be fired, even though Eric Thames is only in his first season and has been praised across the league. Yet Ethan Katz has been in charge of some of the most abysmal pitching staffs I've seen in quite a while, and he's not receiving nearly the criticism. Do these people even watch baseball, or just yell at clouds?

Being a White Sox fan is the ultimate test of sanity, loyalty, and patience.

@JCoppock5_PSN said in Drastic frame rate issue all of a sudden:

I know there's been issues in the past with Frame rate, but today Im seeing it everywhere within The Show, not just in games with certain players (Manny, Elly, Tatis, long hair, ect..).
Ive had complete PS5 freezes where I had to unplug and in game Ive had to inch along in any game mode.
Tested some other games in case it was a PS5 issue, but everything else is just fine.
Anybody else see a drastic change overnight or in the past that had a solution?

It's not a console issue; it's a game engine that has been used since 2007, with too many layers built on top, and is starting to crack.

It's happened twice after the patch and didn't happen prior. If the devs honestly can't introduce updates without breaking five things, SDS, you need new devs.

@MUSTARDxTIGER__PSN said in PS5 immediately crashes during online matchmaking:

I unfortunately didn’t stay on top of this and am waiting for the t9 wrench from Amazon to open er up.
It is an overheating issue that could be easily fixed by optimizing the game to play online. But we do need the awesome cutscenes and announcers saying the wrong things and the folks in the crowd juggling hot dogs.

If you plan on opening it, make sure you label and keep track of the fan screws and their locations. Why Sony decided to use different sized screws for securing a cooling fan, I will never know, especially because they made the PS3 Superslim so easy to take apart.

@MVayP1_PSN said in PS5 immediately crashes during online matchmaking:

@iBonafideScrub__PSN Thanks… where do I take it to clean it up? Recommendations?

You can remove the top and bottom covers and use a small portable vacuum, like a Shark, to vacuum out the dust. I do this at least once a week and haven't had issues. I've had the console for three years.

@RyahAJs_XBL said in Dropping frames:

Anyone else dropping frames I’ve had a 4k monitor with 120fps and last few days I’ve been getting dropped frames any tips on how I can fix this

Don't carry over a game engine through three generations of consoles and have your old software engineers around in advisory roles for clearly unqualified replacements, and not expect issues. There's nothing you can do about that, though.

@Tylerslikewhoa_XBL said in I'm fading fast this year....:

Just sounds like you don’t like baseball that much. Maybe try basketball, football, hockey or golf

All of the other sports games are horrendous to play through. I mean this without exaggeration; this is the only decent sports game left. Even though it has taken its share of steps back in multiple areas, it's still the best, which unfortunately doesn't mean much in 2025.
