SDS JoeK is a community representative of SDS; he will be able to help you more than support tickets. It is not a trick; he has helped multiple people here, myself included. Write him back, and he will help you.

I imagine a deal will be worked out between SDS, the MLB, and the MLBPA, if it has not already been agreed to; this game was one of the highest-grossing sports games of the year, so there is no way the unions would lose out on millions in revenue. I am not sure if they will charge 70+ dollars with no real season; they may want to do paid DLC for 27 and just drop a massive 10-15 dollar patch for 26.

I cannot sign in through Microsoft on the app. As soon as I enter my email and security code, the Bing web browser freezes on an infinite loading screen, and it never changes. Is this an SDS issue or a Microsoft issue? I have never had issues since the app initially launched.

@xsdert34_PSN said in Pls Fix Commentary:

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN I say, "If their broadcast commentary hasn't improved by the end of the All-Star Break this year, fire them or don't renew their contracts for 2026." I have heard them for three years now and they still haven't improved. For instance, in one game of Diamond Dynasty that I played last year I didn't hear them speak for over five innings. What broadcasters do dead silence for that long? The answer is none! I'm starting to miss Matt Vasgerian's commentary now, they're that bad.

The announcers are not at fault. When they were first introduced, it was by staff who had just joined the team and likely lacked the necessary experience to oversee such a large project for only two or three people. SDS management is at fault for the poor audio and commentary.

@ncbravesfan82_MLBTS said in Braves 3rd Base Coach:

So, are they hiding the fact that it is the wrong coach by covering up the jersey with a jacket? If so, that’s asinine.

What part of they don't have rights to ALL the coaches don't you understand? Do you think that SDS just has an unlimited amount of money to spend on coaches

Real or fake: No base coach is wearing a jacket in Atlanta, Georgia, during baseball season. How did you not understand what was stated?

Hire actual, qualified sound engineers for 2026. Stop cheaping out with interns; it is not working and has not been for three years. Please show some effort in the sound and commentary next year; your studio has made plenty of revenue.

You wouldn't see the liquid metal with just basic cleaning; the console would have to be taken apart down to the motherboard. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, I wouldn't recommend doing this yourself. I would recommend researching and getting your console serviced by an experienced repetible repair shop if it's not still under warranty with Sony.

@Onelemur1_PSN said in Overheating PS5:

Every time I am pitching whether it’s franchise, RTTS, or even a quick game, my PS5 instantly starts overheating. No other game has this happened. Anyone have any ideas how to fix it? Or do we wait for a patch.

I’ve already tried, deleting and redownloading the game, turning on the cooling fans, took the PlayStation apart and cleaned it, as well as reset the database and nothing has worked so far.

Do you move your console around frequently, and do you keep it horizontal or vertical? It sounds like the liquid metal isn't cooling the processing chips efficiently and may be drying out; it would need to be replaced ASAP. Even a small dry spot of liquid metal will cause overheating eventually.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL said in Classic stadiums:

I'm surprised no Oakland Coliseum

Wait, it's just completely gone. That's really surprising.

Since it was first introduced, it has been my favorite feature in the show. Even though I have been somewhat, perhaps too, critical of the game's underachieving areas, this is one that I hope sticks around for the foreseeable future. The attention to detail of the players' stadiums and fans, along with the storytelling of Bob Kendrick, is truly a great experience, even if they are somewhat short. I hope that the player models and MLB stadiums can get the same polish and attention to detail in the future.

Watching this livestream is really something else.

@icebergslim7669_PSN said in This Poor Guy Doesn't Know What Hit Him...:

Is that glitch back again?

It appears so.

It's technically a glitch; the scans get deleted from the server, and the art team just doesn't patch or replace them. I really hope new artists are brought in for 26 because this team has been brutal with polish, visual quality, and assurance.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN said in Refund:

So much easier on PS lol. No refunds involved. If you buy the standard version, they give you the option to upgrade to deluxe for $30. But yeah its so much better on Xbox lol

Well, if you attempted to refund a digital game through PSN, they would tell you that you weren't eligible, even if you only played the game once, until, of course, they were sued by Australia for consumer rights violations and illegal business practices. But yeah, Xbox is bad.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL said in MLB 25 soundtrack:

The list of songs for MLB 25 was posted in the News section. I'm totally unfamiliar with every song on that list!

I guess SDS doesn't think anything from the rock and roll era will be played in an MLB park anymore. I'm pretty sure that's way off base!

06-13 had great, diverse soundtracks that introduced me to songs and bands I never would have listened to. They need to bring back whoever curated those, because that music was great. I hate to sound like an old man, but I was born in '98 and, outside of two artists, I have no clue who these people are.

@Streby14_XBL said in Refund:

@jake98833_PSN

So do I just have to contact customer service? I appreciate all the responses!

No, it's simpler than that. Go to your Xbox home screen, hit the home button on the controller, scroll to the Home, profile, and system tab, go down to the Xbox Support text and click on it. Hit the search bar in the upper right corner and type "refund digital games," then click on "About digital game refunds." On the next page, click the PC/mobile option. This should bring up a barcode, but you can just use the Edge web browser. Click "Open here" at the bottom of the page.

Scroll down until you see an option to sign in and enter your password. This should bring up your recently purchased games; choose the game you want and start your refund process. You should receive your refund in about an hour.

@PAinPA_PSN

Thank you! I am on Xbox so I will check tonight.

Xbox is so much better; you can do everything through the console without waiting on hold. I've gotten my money back on bad games by claiming I bought the wrong version, and I have yet to be denied a refund. Sony is terrible with refunds, though.

@Streby14_XBL said in Refund:

Re: MLB The Show 25

If I already pre order the standard edition can I get refunded if I pre order the deluxe edition?

What platform did you order it on?

@GoozeFn_PSN said in SDS are lazy scum bags!:

A little harsh, but he’s not wrong. Every year we get little to no upgrades and mostly the same game at a high price. I’m tired of the excuses too.

I have to agree; the lack of innovation is simply inexcusable. If the majority of the budget was spent on legends and bloated collegiate trademarks while ignoring the community's feedback on gameplay, graphics, and franchise mode, then the lead executive producers probably need to be shown the door if this year's game flops critically and commercially.

@blu_birdie43_PSN said in legends trailer:

does anybody know when this releases? I haven't heard anything about it.

I believe it's on the 11th of March, and considering how underwhelming this new game has been, I'm going to guess that the majority of the budget was spent on Legends.
