It's too bad; I'll never collect enough cards to get him. I hope he is as good as I imagine. He should be, and I really hope they switch things up next year. These collection requirements may not feel quite as bad as '18, but they're really not fun at all; boring and mindless grinding is never fun, SDS.

Is there a way for me to add the new legends that were added toward the middle or end of the game cycle without having to completely restart my roster and import everyone again? It was the Legends Restoration Project; you would think there would be an easy method to rectify this in 2026, but I assume there is not. Let me know, guys.

If??
Ahem.......

A disappointing end, for sure, but this team was never supposed to go as far as they did; in the end, I am proud of the team, disappointed today/last night, but forever proud of the 2026 White Sox.

How many months in a row can you all play the same broken game. Mini seasons isnt boring you yet after 7 months? Yikes you guys are the problem. I freed myself of this non sense game months ago.

When I stopped enjoying the game, I simply took time away to enjoy other games and real life, and I played this again when I felt like it; I didn't worry about what others here did, and perhaps you should do the same instead of following the definition of insanity, especially since you are still playing it as we speak.

Diamond Quest is back! Who's jacked up? Where are all the avid Questers at!?

Whats that - all online players think its annoying and boring? All offline players wanna complain that its too RNG?

How do we make the Quest great again??

Maybe don't artificially boost sliders to increase difficulty; I tried to square up Andy Pettitte on Legend during a boss challenge, spit on a few nasty cutters and a backdoor hook, and finally got a fastball in a decent spot. I squared it pretty well and hit a fly ball that died at the centerfield warning track. I immediately realized this mode wasn't going to be enjoyable, with the mind-numbingly easy moments to the immediate jump with no real warm-up if you hit the boss; it's simply not fun at all, and I haven't touched it since.

@Jacky-Chan1_XBL
It'd be impossible for them not to make a better game since they won't have the start of the baseball season to hype it up; I hope they make some real improvements while sticking to the 2020 formula, since Diamond Dynasty was such a blast. Hopefully, greed won't get in the way, but I don't really trust Sony to put the players first that's only shareholders now.

And I'm a White Sox fan; I hope I'll never have to face him.

All of them, even Colson, until they are eliminated from the playoffs, if they get eliminated.

I'm not going to name anyone cause there are too many but after the logos I've seen while playing ranked today I think the logo creation needs to go. Too many obscene logos and not enough moderation taking care of it. It's like when some get taken down then twice as many get put back up by scumbags who keep them saved in case they're deleted.

The easiest way to combat this is to either limit logo creation or eliminate it completely.

And to those who will reply to this and call me names or say I'm a snowflake.....no I'm not. I don't know about you but would you want kids playing a game that has endless logos with naked women and genetalia showing?

Yes kids play this. Don't act surprised. If you complain about anything I just said you are probably part of the problem.

I do not agree with such a drastic step just yet; yes, the logo vault has been a mess for years, but with advancing technology, an AI program should be created to monitor logos, and if they are deemed possibly offensive, they should be temporarily removed and put in a queue area until a human can review them and issue suspensions and, quite honestly, full bans if necessary; it is not ideal by any means, but at this point, it is basically required.

@markemark_NSW

I hope the new owner turns the Angels around quickly and changes their name back to Anaheim; I am not sure why they changed it.

Going to the postseason after three of the most abysmal seasons, I am amped; You Can Put It On The Board, Yes!

@codeman8806_MLBTS
Honestly, pal, it's not even worth being mad at SDS. At this point, I'm convinced Sony is completely running everything into the ground. The studio was just a casualty of Sony's very bad decisions. I don't think we'll ever see this happen to another company in the last five or six years; not even EA could be this mismanaged, and they are controlled by the Saudi Arabians.

Screen tearing throughout stadiums and player caps during Mini Seasons have been a legitimate issue all year, and the game lags every time it happens; can this be fixed, or will the game break if you touch the code? Any developer who plays Mini Seasons for more than five minutes will notice. I would appreciate feedback on this, thanks.

@Sarge1387_PSN I never understood why pickoffs aren't tied to player stats. Guys like Pettitte and Buehrle were elite at it, but almost every CPU pitcher has the same move, and I really wish that were different. Reading moves from the best pickoff artists should be tough, but average or bad pitchers should have a penalty, like a higher balk risk or a much slower, readable animation.

@Rhyno1986_XBL said:

Lol wow all you people hating on streamers who were giving endorsement contract instead of calling out the hypocrisy of SDS is just generally showing of your age and misunderstanding of what is happening. Even though legally they can do this it is starting to tread on violation of people's personal civil rights now. Yes it's a private platform, but so is that streamers youtube, twitch, TikTok whatever and to tell them what they can and can't promote is getting very sketchy now.

Are you serious?

Revamped Core Gameplay Mechanics
• New physics systems for hitting and pitching: it's beyond time for the legacy code to be gutted from The Show. The old systems have done the job for decades; it's time, SDS.
• Redone lighting and player skeletons: not expecting a major difference in graphics, but the lighting definitely needs major work. It's no longer acceptable to have visuals this far behind other sports games. That's not nearly as important as new skeletons; players need to look better proportioned and more realistic. Follow-through swings and pitching motions need to be redone across the board.

Balancing Development and Mode Support
• Focus on evenly distributing resources and dev time. Every mode should matter, and every player who loyally supports this game should feel that way. Franchise, RTTS, and Stadium Creator need support. DD is fun, but we deserve a complete game.

Enhanced User Interface Navigation
• Please completely overhaul the menus. They were horrible this year: slow, tedious, buggy, and not always simple to navigate.

@iMidevilChaos_MLBTS

They'll only promote him for a short time. They'll likely highlight another player before the playoffs, then they'll go to the original pick, Aaron Judge. The only real choice is to get a physical disc/case and print a Clement cover.

@TripleH-4481_PSN

Thank you. I took an extended sabbatical a few months ago. I desperately needed it, probably for a couple of years. I really hope Konami and SDS will challenge each other for years. Yes, I know Konami's not competing, but SDS can always steal their homework.

The thank-you pack is very much appreciated, especially considering this year and the last couple have been a little rough. I sincerely hope you guys can build off this for next year. This is a good start, but we need transparency. We need honesty. We need effort. We need polish, and we do not need radio silence, excuses, or a shiny new game mode or another mobile port. We need clear, honest—yes, I meant to use "honest" twice—communication. That is the only way this game will get back to what it used to be. I hope this studio can build off this. Everyone here wants a good game, even me.

I didn't have that on my bingo card, but SDS did it.

Wow this company has been taken over by complete scumbag executives. I wanted to check back in during the field of dreams and have hope for 27 and the future of this series but it's clearly over and circling the drain. It's a real shame at one point this series was my favorite but corporate greed and mismanagement will doom us all into full on socialism by 2030's-2040's
