For Mets fans only, they are probably the only people who actually used his card. Otherwise from all the content creators his cards sucks and swings a wet noodle for a bat. Scott Rolen, Jose Ramirez are 2 of the better options that everyone has been using

I always forget how young the fans are. Some of these comments make me feel like an old man, and I'm still in my twenties. David Wright was headed to Cooperstown until injuries ended his career, and before they redesigned his swing, it was amazing. I'm not sure why the new animations are so much worse.

Pedro, Randy, Halladay, and Sheffield all had more realistic animations on the old games.

OK so if it's like a PS4 mini pro then it won't have stadium creator because PS4 didn't have it

PS4 didn't have it because base PS4s had memory leaks, and the game would crash. Considering that the Pro was a significant boost in performance, I don't see how it couldn't be implemented.

Ramone commented on this in a livestream during 2018 or 2019.

CARSON:

Hello, MLB The Show fans, and welcome to yet another episode of The Show (Not Live). I'm Carson, joined by Ashley.

We've had the MLB Draft on Sunday. We had the Home Run Derby on Monday. And now it comes down to Tuesday. Today, it's all about All-Star, Ashley.

ASHLEY:

It's all about All-Star. Make sure, if you haven't already, you went to The Show shop, picked up your free All-Star pack. Get your All-Star if you haven't already.

But don't worry, Carson, because after the All-Star Game, more All-Stars are coming.

CARSON:

Yeah, we're going to be celebrating everything that happens in the game with our very own All-Star Program, Ashley. And there's going to be players in there, there's going to be packs, and it's something you're not going to want to miss.

ASHLEY:

And there's also going to be a Conquest map for even more rewards to cap off the trifecta of All-Star.

CARSON:

Yeah, celebrate All-Star with us after the game tonight. Very excited. We'll see you soon.

[Music]

All so we don't have to listen to the livestream, what a hero.

Well, it was only a 59 second long video so it would not have taxed anyone too badly.

I'm not sure about that. I definitely miss those 2019-2020 streams.

@sbchamps17_NSW said in Do you think create-a-stadium will be included in the Switch 2 version of MLB The Show 26 next year?:

Most likely no, the switch 2 is basically the same as Nintendo switch. It's not big enough

This is incorrect. The Switch 2 is more like a mini PS4 Pro. It's a significant step up from the Switch 1 from a technical standpoint. It's honestly impressive what Nintendo did, though my confidence in this team to deliver a next-gen leap for these new consoles is basically nonexistent; they will do the bare minimum like the past 3-4 games.

@Finn_Scotus_MLBTS said in Performance Takes Major Hit After Update:

Have you closed the game out and restarted? I know you probably have. I'm just suggesting in case. I have issues every once in a while but it always seems to be because I left it in rest mode losing connection and didn't actually exit/restart the program.
Just a thought

It got better; guessing the servers got pressed again, which always happens around All-Star week, but I've tried quick resume on Xbox, and my sound is always muted 90% of the time, so I never use it.

@Dolenz_PSN said in Performance Takes Major Hit After Update:

I occasionally see it. It happens most often with people on base while I am pitching.

When I was pitching, before the ball would hit the glove, the animation was gone, and it was like the game couldn't keep up with itself, destabilizing and choppy. I really hope the code is addressed next year instead of another gimmick mode.

@GoozeFn_PSN said in Performance Takes Major Hit After Update:

@Jacob151167_XBL Haven’t had any issues. Try resetting your internet.

Appreciate the suggestion, of course, but I always seem to only encounter issues on the day a new update drops. ‍️

Couldn't even finish my conquest map; the performance was abysmal. There was lag and stuttering nearly every pitch. Not sure how shows from two console generations had better stability, but it's simply disappointing and needs to be cleaned up, SDS.

Can you guys bring him back? I doubt his likeness cost that much, and after sitting through another dreadful season, it would mean a lot.

@Chrono_Omega_PSN said in There is a handicap in the game:

Your opponent gets rewarded on good swings and you don’t? Pitches floating down the middle on perfect releases? Check swings not going your way? Yes there is a handicap that plays into this.

All competitive sports games have Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment that can scale the outcomes of games to keep users engaged and maintain player engagement, which can entice them to partake in recurring consumer spending, a.k.a. packs and stub purchases. Madden, 2K, and The Show all have these same goals in mind.

Yes, I'm aware that I will be labeled as a tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist, and that is perfectly fine.

@rsimak9626_PSN

The last thing this game needs is to launch on another platform, with how buggy it's been since it came to Xbox and Switch.

OK now you're just being rude

Only meant to reply to the original poster; didn't mean to quote you. My bad.

@sbchamps17_NSW привет,писал в поддержку о бане ничего не сказали,в логотипе разве что использую флаг России,не знаю могут ли за это забанить.. сказали разбираться с интернетом..

Кто ваш интернет-провайдер в России? Может у них проблема, что они блокируют эту игру по какой-то причине? У меня была такая же проблема, когда мой IP блокировал сайт Sony, и я не мог зайти на него.

@ToekneeVegas21_PSN said in Sign Petition to get San Diego to sell the show!!:

https://chng.it/hN2xJXGXqX

San Diego Studios is a video game developer owned by Sony. The studio does not own MLB The Show, nor can it sell any assets of the product. This petition is absolutely pointless. And considering that sports games continue to generate record revenue, Sony probably won't be selling this IP or closing this studio anytime soon.

@Lhubison58_MLBTS said in Devin Kirby SDS you removed the knuckleball:

They took it away because some streamers didn’t like it. Too bad.

No, they took it away because their physics engine is from the PS2, and certain pitches make it obvious that it's starting to age like milk. Sinkers, knuckleballs, etc.

@TripleH-4481_PSN said in I think I’m just done:

After logging in and seeing today’s content on the heels of terrible packs, subpar gameplay, and aggressive monetization I couldn’t help but just feel it’s finally over.

5 years of playing this game fairly heavily and I just feel like it’s not worth the time sink and not even fun like 90% of the time. If I wasn’t such a huge baseball fan I would have left a long time ago but now I confidently feel like this year is the last straw.

I know most people won’t care and that’s not why I’m posting. I think it’s just more me expressing what I’m sure numerous long time players are also feeling. The game has become almost unrecognizable over time and it’s never going to get any better.

I've played this series since Vin Scully was the lead commentator, and this is probably the last one I'll buy. It just isn't a good game anymore and will never be the same as I remember from the PS1-PS4 era. It was fun while it lasted, though.

@ShoeDudeSTL_MLBTS said in Will the game be enhanced for Switch 2 graphics?:

The current game looks almost as awful on switch 2 as it does the original switch. Come on SDS!

Likely won't see a major overhaul, but I would almost certainly expect a patch to stabilize the framerate.

Hopefully, the Switch 2 means a significant improvement to player models, which are always updated last.
